108: Getting Back to Growth Planning

Derrick returned from JAMstack Conf with a jolt of energy and excitement thanks to face-to-face conversations and strategic connections with potential StaticKit customers. Ben expressed interest in once again speaking at developer conferences. After all, he has plenty of worthwhile information and lessons learned to share about Tuple. Today’s Topics Include: Frontend and Backend: Considerations for implementation/migration with StaticKit Main Objective at JAMstack: Market validation, not to make sales to customers Future Feature: Allows people to configure StaticKit account via config file Prevent UI Creep and Wall of Fields: Keep it elegant, but flexible and customizable Instant Gratification and Relief: Numbers are rising again after Tuple’s sign-up fluctuation Tuple Trick: Free, two-week trial for submitting email via invite box; stabilization and scaling are serious concerns due to more customers Ben’s optimism leads to deleted tweet about Tuple T-shirts How much MMR is enough? Never enough; bigger, brighter, more interesting future Links and resources: Art of Product on Twitter Derrick Reimer Website Derrick Reimer on Twitter Ben Orenstein Website Ben Orenstein on Twitter Tuple Tuple’s Pair Programming Guide StaticKit TinySeed Using Tailwind CSS with Next.js  JAMstack Conf MicroConf Slack Netlify WordPress Drupal JSON Drip Justin Jackson Shopify Rob Walling Paul Jarvis Jason Fried
