We just rolled out Impart. It's a simple tool for team leaders to send video messages to their team with a quiz/survey attached. Team leaders are using it for quick weekly updates,…

This is really fun! Not sure why the shark keeps attacking me or how to get that sucker to cut it out. Maybe a little explanation of the shark would help. Didn't get too far so I'm…

Usability design?

My (American) cousin has a degree in German from a fancy school. She's now 30, a Zumba instructor, and still living with roommates in an apartment to keep costs down while paying f…

This is encouraging. But it's not an MVP approach as much as a validation approach. They validated the idea/product with Mailchimp. The product didn't come until they started build…
