That’s right @marc. They travel a bit now so I encourage them to book via booking.com / AirBnb etc. We’re visiting Paris soon so I got them to play with Duolingo to pick up some basic French words...

However the problem I’m trying to solve is that they’re somehow “scared” of using their phones (and they’d love to be able to use it). Eg if they know the 4 clicks you need to book an Uber they’ll do it. But in between if the phone pops up a “battery low wanna switch to
low power” thingie then they’re confused maybe their phone will explode if they click ok? Maybe it will switch off if cancel? That kinda thing ...

When my parents were younger they did a course complete with textbooks that had step by step screenshots on how to use Microsoft Word, or step by step stuff on how to use Google search. Those times they only had to occasionally use 2 or 3 software so that approach worked. If there’s a significant update to a software (e.g the introduction of ribbon on MS Office years ago) their knowledge would then be obsolete.

But now there’s a new app everyday and it introduces a new interface - for their style of learning, I think they’re not used to catching up.

So I’m just curious if there’s a way to teach people to be more savvy - maybe even through articles etc 😀

YouTube is a good idea though - think I’ll point them to YT videos about how to use a particular app.

I would like to post all TODOs about a #hashtag to go to my company's Slack #standup channel. This way I can avoid repeating updates on both platforms!

I've got two products - one is a paid newsletter, the other is a community not too different from WIP/Nomadlist. Both need recurring payments.

I really enjoy Typeform's seamlessly embeddable interface and that it integrates easily with Mailchimp / GA etc - but the lack of recurring billing is a bummer.
