@Bart_Kraw love the piece on @uxdesigncc re smart subscription tactics!

Zapier receipt email example stuck out - so many teams try to optimize the shit out of product surface areas, but forget about purchase receipt email even tho its top of funnel...

So true @matt_muffin... Very easy to fall into this zero-sum trap as a PM in hairy XFN situations (e.g. design / eng debates, or dealing with separate product team with competing surface area interests).

In the end, we're all on the same team!

NYC’s salary transparency law just went into effect and some companies are posting questionably broad salary ranges, testing the limits of what it means to be transparent "in good faith.”

+ Senior Product Manager, Amazon: $121,000-$235,200

@RobinhoodApp Gold members now get 3.75% interest on uninvested cash.

Smart move, as there'll be strong cross-sell from users chasing interest -> investing, thanks to Robinhood's gamified trading features.

@JustAnotherPM Wouldn't prioritize it - it's an edge case!

[Time to Ship @itsTimeToShip]

@bermster just listened to your podcast w/ @lennysan - 100% agree with adding 'healthy' friction to purchase flow

Dd a very similar thing at MasterClass (live on current flow), where adding a quiz pre-purchase led to higher conversion. Was controversial, but data was clear.

@tealium ships a compliance tool to help manage consumer data preferences 🚀

[Time to Ship @itsTimeToShip]

@Microsoft is integrating DALL-E2 with two new products: Designer (basically AI powered Canva), and Image Creator (makes Bing and Edge a front-end for DALL-E2.

Here comes a wild future where you simply create media if you can't find what you're looking for 🤯

@ToniBono Depends who! If it's engineers or designers on my pod, I encourage it and take the win :)

[Time to Ship @itsTimeToShip]

@Betterment launches a crypto investing offering!

What's different? They give users diversified themes such as 'Sustainable' (eco-friendly chains) and 'Metaverse' (assets from immersive experiences).

@jesseproudman curious to see what % of AUM ends up being crypto v fiat.

[Time to Ship @itsTimeToShip]

@ckells19 Exactly! When I was running my old startup, it took a long time to build the muscle of celebrating our wins.

So important to balance self-criticalness (which is super important @ early stage), with celebrating wins, otherwise team morale goes down the drain...

[Time to Ship @itsTimeToShip]

@mrtcropper @intercom @mrtcropper love it! Will include you guys in tomorrow's edition of my newsletter :)
