Great comment! I don't think Journey is gonna replace humans for selling all software, I just think some interactions are better async. A friend of mine, Sahil (CEO of Gumroad) once told me that "live meetings should be used for c

Thanks, this is great feedback. We actually tried making some hypothetical Journeys (for example a fundraising deck for Webvan!) but then people got confused at the content. But yes we are investing heavily in examples! https://j

Jessica Livingston had a good quote about how sales was making a few people love you and marketing was making a lot of people know about you. I agree with you regarding sales and why its effective in real-time, but it doesn't have to b

Haha, yup... My biggest challenge right now is Journey is so meta when discussing Journey. It's why we're trying to lean into success stories: https://www.journey.io/success — but yes. Like if you're describi

Sorry for the delay, I was walking my dog. Re: 1, I would also add that I think Journey may win because of our virality. If I send you a Journey, its a conveniently packaged experience that you can then share with your co-workers or boss fo

Thanks! to be clear I believe accessibility is hugely important but also that such accessibility is beneficial to everyone. I am super excited to allow videos to have transcripts for example. I think the lack of investment in accessibility

Haha, thanks. I remember coming up with the userfox name pretty much solely because I really like foxes and we had an awesome logo :) It’s worth noting Journeys can be much more than just videos - interactive slides and charts for example.

actually quite affordable considering it's merino. not comparable to regular cotton shirts.

i wouldn't call it basic - the materials and fixings are very very very expensive, and the actual patterns of the clothes are ungodly complex. cobrax buttons are ~$5 each for example.

why would you buy this over a 4runner or tacoma for a large farm property? (or the new defender) i am curious and kind of skeptical that electric vehicles will ever get the longevity of combustion engine toyotas and such, given the nascent

the boards and caps are nothing compared to artisan keycaps. i have traded countless things to acquire keycaps that would sell for $250+ each. one keycap! brobot caps are especially rare and i frequently see people buying them for $500 each

Aside from having to use Google Apps for work, I do not use any Google services - that url you posted shows totally blank for me -, but I would be very surprised if Google uses their DNS to reconcile "passive" activity back to an

I adore Mode - i find it the best SQL editor and dashboard by a huge margin. I mostly just use it as a SQL editor and then there’s an amazing ability to turn that SQL into exceptionally useful dashboards.

open source is basically dead courtesy of SaaS. people would much rather pay a few bucks than self-host. hell, there are entire successful companies that 'just' host open source software and wrap it up in a SaaS experience.

Go tell a marketer that if they use Segment they can onboard new marketing tools and it'll 'just work' without any engineering time, and they'll shit a brick. (the data warehouse part is imho folly.)

I'm a massive fan (and user!) of Segment. I think it could be revolutionary. I do worry a lot about how they tell the world about what they _are_ though, it's an inherently complex and technical product - and often the buyers of t
