Building ads infrastructure made me realize just how complicated people make ads to be.
It really doesn't need to be that way. And I'm excited to announce the launch of Whop Ads today. Our mission is to deliver businesses extremely powerful advertising tools that feel simple and joyful to use.
Any business owner can launch ads on Meta through Whop today, with more platforms coming soon. Stay tuned for more updates as we build
Remember when software used to come bundled with games and hidden easter eggs?
Even my TV in 2010 came with games.
Somewhere along the way humans lost this expectation for joy in interfaces.
Iโm betting that we see a comeback of this soon. Especially now that AI has commoditized building software.
Instead of using AI to produce larger amounts of slop, letโs use it to build higher quality, polished and fun software.
We just need builders that care. โค๏ธ

Nowadays it feels like a lot of products have been over-optimized for getting users from point A to point B, with very little consideration for the amount of joy experienced in their journey there.
We're bringing Whop AI deeper into the product.
Here are two quick examples I'm proud to share โจ

Extremely easy to see layout shift, unwanted flickers, unclear states, etc.
