Had such a blast chatting with @petergyang about the journey behind @figma Slides (*Flides 😉) Thank you Peter for inviting me to be on the podcast!! Here’s to more hackathon projects-turned-launches :)
"Every high was followed by a low...but not now doesn't mean no, so you have to be persistent." That's Mihika Kapoor's candid advice on building 0 to 1 products inside companies. @mihikapoor took Figma Slides from an idea to a featured product at Figma Config this year. In my new episode, she shared practical tips to: - Build internal excitement for your 0 to 1 idea - Get leadership buy-in for your vision - Overcome the odds to launch a great product Some quotes from Mihika: "I wanted to combine the interactive feedback of FigJam with the visual fidelity of Figma." "Talking about my idea got me nowhere. It became clear that I needed to build something that people could actually use." "A bunch of bullet points does nothing to drive alignment compared to a prototype and feedback from real users." "I don't write PRDs because I've never seen one that isn't out of date. Instead, I add the context directly to the designs." 📌 Watch now: youtu.be/dIgIS6OqlvA

This is how lazy @FedEx has become. Placing on the other side of the snow so the box doesn’t get destroyed is real hard.

This is a brilliant example of how to be a Christian in the public square. Notice the witness, but in a form the culture can handle. We should desire to have more Christians in these spaces and give them grace as they operate.

Such a great thread
If you had to provide founding teams with seed funding, at fixed and reasonable terms and valuation based solely on up to 5 purely objective/quantitative criteria, what criteria would you use? Meaning, if they met these criteria you MUST fund them.

How about the future of the web is just: * more interoperability * more open standards & new protocols * richer, more immersive apps * multiplayer everything * more APIs to leverage * more open source contribution * more monetization options * more voice, video, and media
