✅ Unexpected Validation | Story Time

A few days ago, a friend and I were digging around the leaderboards of pioneer, when we came across one of many interesting products cloakist. The landing page immediately caught our eye

My friend liked the idea of hosting his notion site, whilst I liked the idea of hosting a calendly link inside of onetomany, so we quickly applied! An hour or two later I got an email from @louisbarclay informing me that they would have to delete the content already hosted on the site in order to host anything else.

Most of this had already clicked between the application time and response time, it was a nice idea but I’d already gone through Route53 Hell and wasn’t looking to repeat the experience 😂

We emailed back and forth for a bit, landing on a few key ideas such as live chat. But most importantly, we got our first public validation in the form of a tweet from Louis:

A very unexpected occurrence of events but I'm stoked to say the least and have since then put more and more of the product online. Watch this space 👀
