Personally I think ‘SaaS’ is too broad a topic for a once a week newsletter and it doesn’t give me (or any potential subscriber) much context into what I should expect to see in my inbox each week.

I would suggest trying to get hyper-focused, so you reach a very specific and tight audience.

Off the top of my head here are some potential example topics - Weekly SaaS Case Studies, Weekly SaaS API News, Weekly SaaS Design Breakdown, Weekly SaaS Failutes/Shutdowns, Weekly MicroSaaS Spotlight, etc.

Just my two cents, good luck!

This is excellent feedback -- thank you for taking the time. I agree, I need to focus on defining a clearer/focused value prop. Will be working on that in the next few days!

I agree, being able to articulate the value you and your skills will bring to a company in a fresh and succinct manner is a superpower for any job market.

I thought this same thing, tough sell but I suppose it’s a decent option for those starting up; zoom for phone, meetings, collaboration, and then I guess email fits in.

I really can’t imagine many established teams moving everything over but Zoom may as well shoot for the moon or die trying.

I think there is an opportunity for them to make a calendly competitor that handles self service zoom meeting scheduling.

Another spot I’m surprised they aren’t embracing more is becoming a training and learning management platform since a lot of zoom recordings are trainings and they could help facilitate this in the platform.

They're implementing that as part of their calendar service: https://youtu.be/Dw1HiYxl7CE?t=7920

thanks I missed that announcement

This might be a way to get a post-mvp idea that was built using No-Code/Low-Code to a code base but for a new unproven idea I would say buyer-beware, unlikely to get you what you want.

Productivity adjacent discussions and communities are great places to strike up a conversation and find like-minded people that could benefit from your tool.

Asking how others are currently solving the problem your tool does is a good entryway. You can follow their answer with a suggestion to try your product if it sounds like it could be useful.

For more of a shotgun approach you can post on betalist, reddit /startups Share Your Startup thread, ShowHN, etc.

I think this a really interesting take on social chat/collaboration!

The main reason I closed it was I felt disoriented when I opened the threads. Since it brought me to the end of the chat I had to scroll to the top to catch up (which has some loading lag) so it felt like I had to do too much work to get engaged. Perhaps the opening post could be pinned at least?

The other part I got kind of lost with was the lack of a back button to return to the topics. Using the browser isn’t an issue, but the way the UI is presented it seemed like it would be there but I didn’t see it.

Congrats on a cool project! It’s nice to see some fresh takes on social.

Hey thank you for the honest feedback and taking the time to check it out!

I hadn't thought of pinning the top message once it's been buried but that's not a bad idea. Or just adding a "to the top" button?

I take it you were on mobile? That's good feedback I have to think about.

Thank you!

Second the need for a "Top" button, and a "Latest" button for when you have read partway through a long thread and just want to get to the end now.

I also second the request for a more obvious way to get back to the list of topics (and when the list of topics has become huge, back to the same position in the list where I was). This is desktop. I clicked the Sqwok logo upper left and it seemed to do it but it was a blind guess.

> and just want to get to the end now.

There should be a button that appears when you've scrolled up that says "return to bottom", but agree need the reverse to jump to the top!

Maybe just a simple "Home" link in the global header next to the logo?

I also closed it after trying to scroll to the first message in a couple posts and not finding it after a whole bunch of Ajax loads. I kept looking for a "jump to the top" button.

sorry about that! It's in my list of stories pretty high up so hopefully it'll be there soon. Thanks for checking it out!

very cool project, unfortunately a bit depressing!

Luckily, another project of mine has the solution:

There may be some room for innovation in the way the results are handled, such as secondary searches and more powerful filters to make it easier to get where you wanted to without having to run a new opening search or using advanced search.

Honestly I’d be happy with a google that just let me quickly hide results from certain sites.

I’m still shaken over the fact that Mavis Beacon was a made up character.

As a kid I had felt really encouraged that this nice woman was able to take her typing skills and turn it into this awesome software company.

No joke, hit me a lot harder than finding out Santa wasn’t real.
