#96 - Slow-paced, please!
Some people love a slow-paced book, an online controversy, and planning for upcoming new features!
#95 - Two Point Five
Working with a small team, a user number milestone, a great monthly conversion rate, and machine learning model updates!
#94 - A Nice-to-have Problem?
When your free product satisfies the needs of most customers, more user research, and behind-the-scenes work to make the user experience even better!
#93 - Slow Feedback
What it means when machine learning is a key part of your product, showcasing the redesign, and selling more Plus subscriptions.
#92 - Healthy Habits
Why some people use The StoryGraph every day, a new look and feel for the site coming soon, and why we had a mini spike recently!
#91 - Perhaps We're Not Far Off!
Maybe we're closer to product/market fit than we think. Also, our similar users feature is now live! 🥳
#90 - Product/Market Fit? Still Not Yet!
We've still not reached product/market fit, but we have massively improved our progress tracking. Just one more feature and we'll be fine, right? 😅
#89 - On the roadmap...honest! Part 2
What it's like having a public roadmap, the launch of the "People You Follow" tab, and upcoming enhancements to page stats and progress updates.
#88 - The StoryGraph Plus has landed! 🎉
The Plus plan has launched, alongside our machine learning-powered similar books feature and a public roadmap! 🙌🏾
#87 - Standards and Tradeoffs
Accessibility standards and unintended efficiency tradeoffs, using tech to organise rather than police, and machine learning with millions of books!
#86 - An Extra (100) Pair of Hands
What it's like having a lot more people updating the site, upping the ante on getting Plus out, and what you can expect to see in the product soon!
#85 - See you in two weeks!
The results of the "newsletter frequency" survey, the responsibilities of our Librarians, and a brief update on our upcoming Similar Books feature.
#84 - How often should I write these?
Seeking your feedback on newsletter frequency, and an update on editions, our volunteer librarian programme, and last night's live Instagram show!
#83 - Launched! 🎉
How our launch went — the good and the not so good — and what's next! Another launch, of course. 😅
#82 - Behind Schedule
We're running out of time to do everything we want to for launch, but...there's still a lot of time left! 😅
#81 - Two Launches
The second 'product' we'll be launching in February and the social media love and excitement we've received over the January launch!
#80 - Secret, Internal Deadlines
A secret launch date, an update on our two big projects, and another feature that needs rethinking.
#79 - From Early Adopters to Mainstream
(Potentially) Breaking up with your early adopters, fixing the new recommendations page, and big, scary tasks still outstanding for launch!
#78 - One Month To Go!
It's surprisingly calm at TSG's HQ given how much we still have to do. Oh, and we have a new recommendations page! 😁
#77 - Why Did You Buy?
Customer research findings from Early Bird Plus customers, app and reading challenge updates, and looking ahead to a new recommendations page!
