Yes, this would be nice! – What do you mean with different text? Just that people can write their own tweet text along with the image? Or something else?
@joao you mentioned "Scroll on post images with keyboard arrows" – I think it's the same as this, so I removed your comment to keep things organized. If you have additional details, please reply here. Thanks 🙏
Improved lightbox with ability to use arrow keys to go through different photos

The current application system doesn't really work. Want to experiment with gradually letting in more people AND better monetizing WIP so I can afford to spend more time on it.
But of course it's CRUCIAL that we protect the community we have.
So this would be an experiment. We had open, paid signups before and it didn't lead to any spam issues. If it somehow will, we can revert, and refund and remove bad members from the community.
I think a simple price like $9/$19/$29 (idk which) for lifetime access would make a lot of sense here and would avoid apps getting stuck in limbo. I like the idea.
I'd suggest doing this first as it will likely motivate you to finish the rest of the features if you send an email asking everyone on the waitlist to pay for the new pricing structure and X% of them convert immediately => instant Stripe notifications are always fun
I like this, and I've paid a low cost for lifetime access to communities before and it typically attracts people who are willing to invest time as well.
In the applicant pool, it's hard to know who's still seriously interested in joining, and this would give you a good idea.
Thank you, @marc, for prioritizing protecting our existing community!
I agree, one-off fee for community access is a lot more palatable personally. I only fully joined NomadList when Levels tried a one-off fee instead of recurring.
Recurring USD subscriptions can get pretty heavy outside of the "global north". Here in South Africa the currency generally trends downwards vs USD, so subscriptions get more expensive all the time. Really have to be minimalist with what we subscribe too if it's not a core direct benefit or business requirement.
I don't know about others but the other benefit with one-offs is that it's easier to be in multiple places. I like being in many communities, but can't afford to pay for every single one.
Love this - want this community to keep existing and also keep being genuine. Influx of free users without invite would destroy that. I wonder if the fee should be even higher. $29 for lifetime access to an exclusive group with a lot of activity and support is kinda cheap. I can see a lot of people paying that just to be able to spam their own projects on everyone's timelines.
Granted I'm always the annoying person in tech to say this: but it would be great if we could maybe think about how to diversify the applicant pool a bit more too - having some different channels to find WIP, understand it and apply would help with this too :)
Open sign-ups, but with paywall

Each month, pay $1 for each day you missed your streak
Streak freezes/repairs like Duolingo – Ability to save/repair your streak if you occasionally miss a day
I came across this streak recovery feature on morningpages.app:
For every 5 consecutive days a user posts, they earn 1 repair day, also known as a rest day. These repair days serve as bonuses that users can utilize to maintain their streak in case they miss a day. Users can accumulate up to 14 repair days, with no possibility of accumulating more. If a user misses a day, the app automatically uses one of the accumulated repair days to keep the streak active.
Copy pasting @bdlowery's comment, as it's quite similar:
"Add a page every creator can make to show all of their projects with verified stripe revenue. Like indiepa.ge/marclou
Then people can link to it like wip.co/bdlowery/projects - or set up their own custom domain to link to it."
I like this idea since it's built directly into wip and could be a way for organic traffic.
- person links in twitter bio / personal website
- visitor clicks link, is now on wip, navigates to other pages, etc.
