What are you working on this week? (w/c 16 September)

@ouaibou hope you all work it out!

@miles_scherrer If there was a way to integrate with audible, or create an audible replacement within the app. I would 100% pay for premium.

@nayamoss Cool and thanks for the input! We actually have in-app premium audiobooks almost fully integrated and hope to be able to launch within the coming month or two. While the app currently resembles Goodreads, we are actually more inspired by social reading apps in China like Tencent WeRead and QQ Reading who combine both digital book consumption and community in one.

@nayamoss @miles_scherrer I'm so excited for this! I never got into Goodreads because of the UI but *love* the social aspect of sharing and reflecting on content I've consumed.

@nayamoss @abadesi Hope you like it! With audiobook and ebook content we think that the social features can be further improved by sharing bookmarks or quotes and discussing chapters and passages. It takes a while to get the partnerships needed in place but hope to have it in place in a couple of months.

@imswaathik nice stuff! how will you increase conversions for folks who schedule a meeting?

@abadesi Well I'm trying to take it step by step. My problem right now is that not everyone who signs up creates a meetings. So I'm solving that by adding better UX and on boarding. My hope is that this causes a ripple effect and makes the user create more meetings.

@imswaathik nice! i hope you are able to resolve it.

@nayamoss I'd love to learn what you learned from startup school; do you have a blog?

@nayamoss Naya you are on fire!! Keep us posted.

@eve_hammond Honestly most of what I learned from Startup School I have already read from the YC blog and resource page. It's more up to date content and relevant to right now. Surprisingly i'm seeing SO many people drop out. But I find it really valuable because my market is startup founders. When I started my company I was afraid founders wouldn't see the value of my product so early on. But so far every week i've gotten really great feedback and everyone has said they understand my product. 😭no I seriously need to write more I have so much of my tech journey to tell, but its hard to get the words out. I do have a goal of writing about my 25 lessons by age 25. Open to talk more, naya@culturefiy.tech 😀.

@abadesi 😭, omg Thank you Abadesi! I'm trying SO hard. I'm actually having 2nd thoughts about Startup Weekend. It's the woman edition and apparently you aren't allowed to bring a pre-existing business. There's another pitch competition coming up in 2.5 weeks and I think it will be more beneficial. Major plus, that one i'll be sponsored. I'll definitely keep everyone posted 😀.

@robert_zalaudek Got a link to the video?

@eve_hammond thanks for asking. Still new to Product Hunt and didn't want to put a long link in the thread. Here you go:

@eve_hammond @robert_zalaudek I like the Slack integration and how it snoozes notifications in a blanket way across the device. That said I the video could get the point across in half the time.

@eve_hammond @abadesi Thank you so much for the feedback. It's my first video in a long time so a bit rusty. I'm sure that they'll get better as I do more. Many thanks again.

@imdeepjoshi what's the design system?

@abadesi "A design system is a collection of reusable components, guided by clear standards, that can be assembled together to build any number of applications. A design system is a set of interconnected patterns and shared practice coherently organized to achieve the purpose of digital product"

@ant_musker big tasks! how is it going so far?

@abadesi Making progress! Check out the graphic material, appreciate any feedback https://imgur.com/s6F2Guc

@_justirma what’s the course about?

@abadesi thanks for asking! looking to create educational content around remote work. starting off with a guide for managers to use on how to hire, onboard and manage remote teams with examples, guides, documentation, etc.

@_justirma oh wow I'd love to use this stuff.... are you creating a new site for it?

@flexceo @max_spitsyn busy busy! Do the articles help you reflect on your work?

@alchen ooh I’m excited to read it !!

And of course... been lurking in ProductHunt a while, so last thing I did this week, was to register here and start to take closer look, what this has to offer, and what I can offer back. :)

@kerberos incredbile thank you Joonas for joining!
