    iOS App

    SaaS App, for podcasters, make your podcast interactive! Free account period closing soon!

    1. 2

      Love to see the progress!

    2. 1

      (Laughing!) Only if I'm lucky.

      Checked out your response to my question from yesterday. Very cool you're getting actionable feedback from customers! You're slaying your 2019 goal re hosts. What's working?

      1. 1

        I had some signups after my initial Medium post, and gained 2 more since then during the Early Access. Now that the app is out I will need to encourage people to add interactivity to the platform. I am hoping to make some great strides on that front in the next couple of weeks. Those should become testimonials over time and prove the model.

    Anyone out there know their way around Gatsby? I've a GraphQL query question...

    KUDOS: A warm welcome to @pcattori! Thanks for joining the stand up party!

    WIP: Jeanius

    1. 2

      that privacy policy seems to be taking quite a while :P

      1. 2

        (LAUGHING!) I know. I know. Privacy policies are not sexy. Ugh. Such grunt work. Finally managed to cross that sucker off my list last night! (Thanks for holding me accountable!)

    2. 2

      I haven't used Gatsby, I'm using Next, but I do use graphQL (apollo and prisma) maybe I can help

      1. 1

        Know anything about querying JS files versus MD files? I'm only able to query the images and the path, but none of the content. (Thanks for the offer to help!)

    3. 2

      good on you for getting on the graphql train, super useful tool that.

      Unfortunately I'm a .Net dev so Gatsby is way outside my wheelhouse atm.

      1. 1

        Yeah. It's my first query language. And from a learning perspective, I'm glad to dabble. (Grinning) From a get my site online... not so damn hot.
