In Atlanta this week pitching @poppyflowers at @VentureAtlanta 2021. Normally @cameronhardesty would be repping, but her due date is tomorrow (!) so I'm honored to be pitching on her behalf. In honor of that, a quick update on where we are and where we're going 🧵

@shreksthot my middle school made news for the no hugging rule

[Jay Ashe @jgashe]

@nwilliams030 industry term seems to be "cottage" food sales and like you point out it's not uniformly legal. a lot of the laws tend to specifically go after online selling -- basically letting people sell truly direct to customer but not online through marketplaces

[Jay Ashe @jgashe]

@chrismeadej we do it with zapier querying a data warehouse directly. if you don't have a DW but all your sales are on shopify you can prob still get it to work with the shopify API and a javascript custom code step.

store monthly goals in airtable or google sheets and have zapier pull in.

@WeddingVenueGuy will they let you collect 50% down and take the loan on the other 50%? i would imagine you're still able to fill dates (espec at peak) with the high deposit w/ no interest

[Katie Bauer @imightbemary]

Much like chess or day trading, data analysis is something that people like to imagine they'd be good at if they just had the time

@pdrmnvd it's triggered by a different reaction than the bot that gives answers, so it doesn't run on every thread. i've found that it works best if i provide a little message to guide it. reacting to "we should probably add this to our product how-tos" is enough

[Jay Ashe @jgashe]

@pdrmnvd i did a similar thing and added a feature for suggesting updates based on threads. summarizes a thread, finds the related documentation and suggests a tweak to it (suggestion in the form of a linear ticket to make the update)

[Jay Ashe @jgashe]

@KevinEspiritu they were flying banners on mission beach/PB all spring too. prob the only non-alcohol advertisement i saw there. definitely outside the box

[Jay Ashe @jgashe]

@bcardarella zapier:
trigger is new message in public channel
filter for messages containing your trigger
action: send a message that responds (and you can set your icon/name as desired)

zapier can be $$$ but as long as the first step is a filter you only pay for hits

[Jay Ashe @jgashe]

@MatznerJon is the designer involved in closing the sale? (or directly involved in install?) do customers ever worry about either not meeting their designer or installer before the sale?

[Jay Ashe @jgashe]

@jeremeholiman @linear we do at poppy

[Jay Ashe @jgashe]

@cjbell_ the timezone handling 🤌

[Jay Ashe @jgashe]

@brettunhandled @linear plz 🙏

couple years ago I was at an event in ATL where 1) i knew no one and 2) the people I talked to weren't interested in consumer

Dave helped me ignore the noise, introduced me to people who cared, and we had fun. No wonder he's got a great crew behind him here. team's gonna crush

[Jay Ashe @jgashe]

@ColleenMBrady so painful

[Jay Ashe @jgashe]

brutal experience on @stripe if you hit the weekly ACH limit. happened at 11pm ET and tier-1 support can't approve an increase without asking for help
