A trip down memory lane...
This is the 100th instalment of this newsletter! 🎉
To celebrate, how about we relive some of your StoryGraph journey highlights via past issues?
Thank you to everyone who wrote in to contribute — you really helped me pull this together!
#1 - Building a Beta (10th June 2019)
The very beginning (of the newsletter)!
I'd been working on the idea of the product since the beginning of the year, and had built small related apps to test certain concepts and features.
It was now time for me to build a more substantial product, and I decided to start a weekly newsletter in order to hold myself accountable, especially as I was working alone!
#13 - A Revelation and A Surprise (1st July 2019)
The beta was complete, but it was private, and I'd been manually onboarding people for 5 weeks.
From my interviews with my earliest users, I realised that anybody could get value from the site's main filter menu, so I surprised everybody by announcing that the beta product was now open to the public.
Yes, I was very nervous! 😬
