It's been a busy couple of days dealing with invites and sending users over the the early website builder whilst frantically finishing off some core features and fixing bugs.

It's great to see a fresh burst of interest which I assume is owing to being featured in the Trending Startups section. Very grateful for the early initial reactions.

I'm being extra cautious of spammers so the onboarding process is intentionally a bit drawn out.

Lots of activity as a result of being featured (https://betalist.com/startups/hiya-io). Big fan of Betalist and the early adopter audience behind it.

Perhaps wasn't the best timing to be rolling out a migration of the site at the same time it got featured but the upside was that I was actively monitoring the site and comms at the time.

July 28, 2022 Prepping landing page in readiness for Betalist feature

I've been furiously working on improving the landing page (hiya.io) to look slicker and tell a coherent story before betalist.com features Hiya.
Today I've created a new logo, adjusted copy over and over, crafted new design flourishes and settled on a more vibrant colour palette (previously, it was minimalist & monochrome). Still not perfect but do we ever reach perfection?

Stoked to have added OpenAI's GPT-3 service to generate professional bios from limited data collected on the sign up process.
This was in response to knowing most people will skip over filling out a bio as it requires thinking.
The results are really good and early feedback is positive.
