Tools we love and how we use them to boostrap from $0 to $1M ARR

Tools are just tools. Why and how you use them is another subject.

I tried to list all the tools we use at our startup and why and how we use them; Notion, Slack, Screen, Ghost, MeteorJs, Grafana and more...

Hope it'll be useful.

    Very cool.

    I see you use webflow for your website but ghost for your blog why is that?

    There is a huge SEO benefit from having the blog on the subfolder.

    Likewise with helpdesk. You ideally want that on your main site.

    Intercom do themselves https://www.intercom.com/help/en/, but don't make it easy for customers.

      I think versoly will be a good solution. It has web builder plus blog feature. Cool

      I agree for the SEO benefit, but you don't need to switch your blog CMS to achieve that.

      You can configure your webserver to server all urls blog/* using ghost and the others by webflow (assuming you're not hosted on webflow)

      we setup the blog before using webflow, that explain why we didn't use webflow for the blog.

        Ah that makes sense.

        Any reason you didn't swap it over for the SEO?
