(list of everything claude did for me in the past week)

[Laura Roeder @lkr]

please make it stop with these awful impossible to search for startup names

and "townies" already has a very clear meaning, just make up a new word!!

[Daria @dasha_tsenter]

I got married on Saturday. We launch Town today, four days later.

The only reason I survived: Littlebear, my Townie.

It ran the wedding vendor chaos - florist, tent, caterer, valet - kept me on top of work, and even coordinated logistics directly with my now-husband's assistant. Two AIs talking so the two of us didn't have to.

Building the thing by day, surviving on it by night. Most rewarding week of my life.

Try Town. You won't regret it.

@thedatadavis 🥁

but yes cost of switching is massive, I would only look for something else if we had a major issue with them

[Laura Roeder @lkr]

My hypothesis is that the ease of building software will bring a huge renewed importance on brand and trust, which will mean investing more in marketing and advertising to build recognition

Here's a cold email I just got - they say their product is 10% of the cost of activecampaign

Now this pitch would have never gotten me interested anyway because we rely hugely on activecampaign. I'd have to be convinced that the new product is MORE reliable than activecampaign

But now I have to question if every new software tool is just complete AI slop that doesn't work

[Laura Roeder @lkr]

@brianchinn haha yup cost is very far from my highest priority, and 90% savings give me zero trust this solution will be better!

[Laura Roeder @lkr]

hey it's me!

he included my startup domain buying advice, and i'm pleased to see I've won on the chart for the cheapest .com for my company 😆

@Shpigford these are OK - 30 isn't a huge group

you'll perform better with a more specific question

you could try

"what were you looking for when you signed up for granite?"

"what's the first file you put into granite?"

"is this a product you had been actively looking for?"

@John_Ely_21m @cathrynlavery she must be hating austin summer!

[Laura Roeder @lkr]

being able to make yourself healthy food is probably THE fundamental life skill

yet so few people know how to do themselves/teach it to their kids

[Britt @be_homestead]

If you have teenagers, have them meal prep. My oldest just jumped on the grill with marinated chicken, took her 10 min threw it into cheap glass prep containers we bought her, added some rice and frozen broccoli and now she has lunch for the week.

It may be summer but she goes off into the world in a year and she can already meal plan based on groceries we already have, makes a shopping list of miscellaneous or weekly items she needs and then meal preps within an hour.

Set your kids up for success.

@danielcberk does the routine not have SPF?? spf and retinol are the only things that will actually make a difference to visible aging

[Laura Roeder @lkr]

@levelsio ace and soho house seemed like they were headed in the right direction, but then ace london shut down and soho house seems to have given up or something

the standard is not bad

citizen m has coworking and personless checkin

[Laura Roeder @lkr]

@harisenbon79 I have already seen that!!!

[Laura Roeder @lkr]

Most of the time, your landing page tests will show no difference.

And this will take months to learn.

So yes, I roll my eyes that you have an "AI agent that runs conversion testing 24/7"

[Laura Roeder @lkr]

@FDavidsonT Yes please

@brookejlacey can you tell if the 5k "companies" are current users or all time users?

This is what happens to everyone looking for houses to buy

They start "just looking" above their budget

Then don't want their budget anymore

OF COURSE THOSE HOUSES ARE BETTER THATS WHY THEYRE MORE EXPENSIVE! DONT LOOK!

[Laura Roeder @lkr]

@SchulMozart Yes in small towns the only coffee shop won't open until 11 or 12! For coffee!

Kids love stop watches! Get them a Casio watch with a stop watch and alarm

[slimzim @jameszimmermann]

Instead of an iPhone my youngest kid has a stopwatch. Takes it everywhere and records how long everything takes in a little notepad. You can just say “No” to the iPhone.
