Wow this is a really well done little marketing thing to make the 1.0 an entire week 'event'. I like how it ends only with, 'here try the tutorial' and not 'please let's sign you up for newsletters, alerts, etc. etc.'.
Glad you appreciate it! My number one goal for launch week and the new homepage and this event reminder site is to drive the "tutorials taken" number. For me, that is success.
Interesting, I find it exhausting instead. I'm intrigued by Redwood and glad to hear it hit 1.0 but I'd rather see everything they have to say now instead of having to "stay tuned" for more. I either remember to come back in a few days to see what it was or I forget about it and miss out on what could have helped convert me into a user.
