We're being acquired by Amplitude!

We’re joining forces with a company and product that we've admired for a long time. Our Amplitude integration is one of the most popular integrations we offer, and whenever asked to give a recommendation to our customers seeking an analytics, CDP, experimentation, or session replay tool, they have been our go-to answer.

Amplitude makes everything we've built more powerful.

💙 To our investors, customers, and our end users – thank you for letting us serve you for 4.5 years. It has been the greatest privilege, and we cannot wait to show you what we're going to be capable of as part of Amplitude.

The show goes on!

@datarade @DocuSign we yearn for docusign

[Kumar🇺🇸 @datarade]

I hate @DocuSign.

Have to use it right now and I want to stab myself in the neck, I waste so much time.

They need @CommandBar asap.

Dwarkesh is a Commandbar athelete??

[James Evans @dazzeloid]

Very proud that CommandBar is now sponsoring the Dwarkesh podcast (together with Stripe and v7 labs)

@dwarkesh_sp delivers probably the highest signal to noise in AI and tech generally. AND is exactly the same person privately as you see in the pod -- thoughtful, kind, diligent, ambitious.

Zuck on:

- Llama 3
- open sourcing towards AGI
- custom silicon, synthetic data, & energy constraints on scaling
- Caeser Augustus, intelligence explosion, bioweapons, $10b models, & much more

Enjoy!

The words of
@patrickc
resonated with us a lot when working on this. We built Clippilot not because it was something our customers were asking for, but because we sweat the details and believe in a future where the interface infrastructure of the internet is so good that users sit back and sigh and say things like “When did the internet become so beautiful and easy to use."

I wanted to find out how @Bouazizalex and @shuooo built a decacorn

@deel grew from $1M ARR to $100M in 20 months. For some context, it takes the median startup 33 months to reach $1M ARR. As of 2024, they’re at $500M ARR (5 years after founding). This doesn’t just put Deel in the top percentile, it makes them one of the fastest-growing startups in history.

Turns out there's no secret sauce, just doing the "boring" things extremely well. Ya know, like talking to your customers and building something people want.

Alex is the perfect example of “do things that don’t scale.” I’ve rarely (or ever?) seen a founder/CEO of a company valued at $12B+ handle support tickets or encourage folks to DM him with feedback/questions about his company.

He knows what he’s doing. Not in an evil, elaborate marketing stunt to get their NPS up kind of way. He’s always been helpful and approachable. I remember asking him how EOR worked years ago (before Deel was this big)—he gave me a super detailed reply on WhatsApp, minutes later. He knows no amount of paid ads, influencer campaigns, or growth hacks get you the value of regularly talking to your customers.

He understands the power of the superfan, even 40k+ customers later.

I dive deeper into what I've seen work well for them and how founders can learn from it. Check out the thread for the link.

Bullish on @CommandBar

Less truly can be more.

How @CommandBar design its pitch deck with minimal elements? 

The startup has raised a $4.8M seed round, led by @ThriveCapital and @ycombinator.

4-tweet thread with visuals.

[Cristina Bunea @cristinaibunea]

I can bet you good money @CommandBar has some of the best product docs around. But 5 months ago, this wasn’t the case (shoutout to @dazzeloid for crafting these). They were boring, outdated, and just not that useful anymore. It seems like that’s the fate of most product docs.

Maintaining them is like painting the Golden Gate Bridge; the moment you finish, it's time to start all over again because they’re already outdated (if you ship as fast as we do, that is, lol).

So we built a handy tool to help rate your docs and give you suggestions on how to improve them. You can use this whenever you’re getting the feeling that your users might find spiderwebs instead of useful information.

We’re launching on @ProductHunt today and would really appreciate your support! (check the 🧵)

Also, a big shoutout for the products that made it possible for us to build this as quickly as we did:

👩‍💻 @supabase for backend and storage
📷 @nextjs for the frontend
📷@figma and @canva for design and launch assets
💜 @linear and @excalidraw for planning
