Love the concept. Started using BaseDash earlier for similar reasons

god tier

Which national public owned entities do you trust?

His “YC connection” was running YC and being responsible for making it something like 100 times bigger than it was before him?

I find it useful to write a list of the tests you would write if you were writing tests. Then you have made a list of all the things that can go wrong, instead of being caught off guard if it breaks

Luv manual tests. With everything that ships I bullet point a list of tests that theoretically would be written. Then I test the most important ones by hand. I’ve never had to retest yet, but theoretically if something was wrong i can start debugging by poking at these tests. If something broke at all i could even automate that specific test

I have run 30-40 miles per week since I was 15 to the age of 40 so far. The period I have injuries are correlated to the times I am not also training kung fu. Since kung fu involved a lot of deep stretching and yoga like stuff, I think the trick to running is probably just to also make sure to practice yoga seriously and you’ll be good

paying for plus solves most of this

kill it with fire

In my hometown of Easton, CT, the cops were the sex offenders on my block. I never reported it. The first half of this story makes me wonder how common that is in CT.

Oh no. I read the initially and thought it was about twitter. :( rest in peace.

luv murder

Can confirm. Am cofounder. I used Demigod to get everything in my habits really tight so that I could find 4 hours EXTRA every week in my life to learn to paint. I did it, it worked, and after about 3 months I made a pretty good painting as a gift for my friend. <3 to Demigod

This is fantastic. Not pushing our marketplace tech right now at Withfriends (W19) but am so happy you’ll make great matches easier when we do

thank you sachin18590!

hell yeah

At Silent Barn, there was a barber shop partly run by a great barber (and musician - seems to be a common combo). Our deal was that I paid him $30/month, and he'd take me in twice a month. I always looked pristine and I got a slight deal that turned into a habit, and he had a steady customer.

Gosh, you must be confused, shafyy. We have absolutely no horizontal scrolling problems on Firefox and MacOS.

For sure.

That is great advice. Thank you.

thank you craze3. We are super excited too. I like that comparison because the major thing we are all discovering together is that we really care about creators (Patreon) or organizers (Withfriends) that we love, and all we needed was to make it easier to get behind them. The member benefits make it feel good, but I believe the desire to become a member comes out of something more essential to who we are.

Thanks so much nyrulez!

thank you dopeboy!

My dream marketing campaign would be to work with teenagers around the country and encourage them to tag "Withfriends" everywhere, giving them free tickets to a concert every time they send over a proof of tag.

But we would never do that!

Instead, we don't have a marketing program running right now, but we do have a "Jeweling Program" here: https://withfriends.co/meet_the_team

If you're well connected with businesses that people really love in your community, we have a way to partner with you on bringing them on board Withfriends.

We share a lot with you and earn your trust on just how cool the memberships future is, and then in turn, you share this with iconic businesses that trust you in your community, and effectively they end up sharing it with their neighbors by using Withfriends, and we all help build resilence for small businesses in a widespread way. You get commission for basically connecting this idea with your community.

We haven't run this program much - but we plan to revive it. It's really important because it helps us touch more kinds of people outside of our organic signups. For example, it's how we first started working more in the Bronx, instead of just Brooklyn.

You can reach out to be a jeweler at team@withfriends.co for now. Just let us know your 3 top businesses and more about the commmunity that relies on them.

We run as many benefits as we can take on for members of small businesses, so that businesses can rely on us as a partner to run their membership program. They can focus on their core business.

To date, this includes: discounts, first access to event tickets for members, members-only merch (hoodies, shirts, pins), members only events - as the benefits we built-in/are prototyping.

First-access to events, members-only gatherings, and discounts, are the most common member benefits running on Withfriends. Those are built in.

On top of built-in benefits - businesses can take more control and write in benefits. To help them, we have a member-lookup/scanning app in beta for staff (a member side is coming soon). That makes it easy for staff to handle benefits off platform, or simply treat members well.

Members of North Brooklyn Farms (more about them here: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/59xwjx/diy-spaces-go-main...), members get a bag of veggies every time they visit (https://withfriends.co/north_brooklyn_farms)

Members of Bluestockings (by the way, what an honor to work my lifelong legends) get discount benefits at the store, even before automate them. (https://withfriends.co/bluestockings/join)

Members of AdHoc (also legends) get a zine delivered to their door, and a curated playlist. (https://withfriends.co/adhocfm/join)

Members of Chicago Meat Collective ... get extra meat (https://withfriends.co/chicago_meat_collective)

When you sign up Withfriends, you get a simple, effective membership program - we encourage businesses to be as minimal as possible and just turn it on. We've found that members want to support the small businesses they love. You don't need to overthink it.

Sorry, not Ticketfly, but "Eventbrite Music", which is the future version of Ticketfly. Just launched that last week.

Mobile. I've heard tall tales of integrating with Windows-based POS's!

In contrast, thankful for the excellent Square API.

We have Eventbrite + Ticketfly live right now, Square upcoming, and have Toast and Shopify high on our lists.

Thank you so much psawaya!
