Maybe check if one of those affiliate-program-as-a-service companies have a template you can use.

I'd keep it simple to start with though. Don't invest too much time if you're not sure yet it will work out.

We use Intercom (www.intercom.com) at BetaList. I really like it, but it's quite pricey.

Some of the things I like about it:

  • Shows previous customer communication
  • Includes OS / browser / etc info for customers
  • You can assign tickets to team-members (not sure if relevant for you?)
  • Integrates with Stripe so you can see customer's billing status

I used to be a Twitter 'completionist', but at some point (years ago) there were just too many tweets. So now I just check recent tweets only. I kinda like how Twitter now surfaces the most popular tweets to the top so you don't miss out on the best ones.

On Instagram I follow fewer people so it's still doable to browse all posts.

I definitely want to keep track of personal records, but haven't found the time yet to implement it. I'm not sure yet what the best approach would be using Active Record.

As for showing it alongside the name throughout the site, I wonder if it would be too confusing to newcomers? The current streak count is already a bit opaque but is intriguing enough for people to ask about. Adding another number might get confusing and unnecessarily complicate things.

To me it seems something more fitted for the profile page? And in the future we might have popover menu's for makers so when you :hover you might see the personal record too.

Depends on the context, but here are some ideas:

  • 👁 (selling attention/eyeballs)
  • 📈 (results)
  • 💰 (help monetize)
  • 📢 (promote/announce)
  • 📣
  • 📯
  • 💬 (get people talking about you)
  • 📺 (video ads)
  • 💈(real-world example of advertising)

Some ideas I discussed with @levelsio:

  • Type /launch nomad list 3.0 #nomadlist to launch your product
  • It will show as a todo in your profile/frontpage, but with a 🚀 instead of a ✅ and slightly more visual
  • Should you be able to include press coverage links?
  • Would be nice if the community could 👏 your launch. Maybe comments too? Is there something to say?

I'm also hoping to make this feature future-proof. So I can imagine at some point you can announce other major milestones too. Like getting your first customer, or $1,000 MRR. So maybe we could have a 'Milestone' feature with different types and 'Launch' would be one of them.

well I was notified anyway, because I follow this question :)
