S05E01 – I Need Your Help
Hey All 👋
By complete chance, it’s been a year and a day since I last sent you an email. In case you forgot, I built Appy Weather in what now feels like years ago because it was actually years ago. There were Internet murmurs that it had been abandoned. To silence this talk, I spent a good part of Q1 this year working on an update to ensure the Dark Sky <> Apple Weather migration goes smoothly. It sort of did, except I didn’t forecast how unreliable Apple Weather will be. I’ve made optimisations to work around their issues, but it looks like I’ll reluctantly be spending my June adding another weather provider to compensate for their frequent downtimes. In the meantime, subscribers don’t know any better and unfortunately a reasonable number are the ones abandoning the app :( That’s irony.
This headache aside, I would really appreciate support for the thing I’ve been mainly working on lately: timing.is — your calendar reimagined. It will be revealed on Product Hunt next week. It would mean a great deal if you can:
Hit [Notify me]
Sign up if you’ve not got an account already.
And next week when it’s revealed, you’ll need to upvote from the notification link you receive.
That’s it! The whole process shouldn’t take up more than a minute of your life, but can — if there’s enough support — make a big difference to my life.
Competition is fierce every day. Whether the launch is successful is disproportionately skewed to how many votes it has in the first few hours. Getting as many early upvotes will go a long, long way, so please get yours in first thing. Our ability to generate signal will also be meaningfully improved if you can share within your own networks too.
Thank you so much for your continued support and interest.
I’ll try not to be a stranger.
Have a great end to your week.
Best,
Bardi
