The main focus this past month has been on building out the Lunch Mixer product. I’m happy to report that v1 is now feature complete. I’ll be demo’ing it tomorrow night at this event in Lisbon and then we’ll be deploying it for the Lisbon Digital Nomads Slack where we have already 550+ people waiting for this app in the #lunch-roulette channel.
Other Wins
We made history on Friday with the first fully-funded bounty being awarded to the Message Everywhere team. You can find a full write-up here and the recording of the jury review call below:
Feature-wise the only thing I added is the capability for event admins to promote their approved event once to anyone who has subscribed to hear about events near them. This isn’t pretty formatting-wise but it’s functional and it respects the recipient’s preferences as far as comms frequency and allowed topics.
What I’m Thinking
At this point I’m super excited to see how this Lunch Mixer product does in Lisbon. I’m hopeful that this could be a great new funnel into our world here. I’m working on making it multi-tenant and then planning to put it in the Slack Marketplace. Baked into it is the option to create a Stone Soup profile for anyone who RSVP’s to a lunch so I think it could be an interesting recruitment channel. We’ll see.
I’m focused now on our live events here in Lisbon and making this tandem monthly recurring event series all work and feed into the library.
Open Questions
- At this point my questions are more around the bounties and how to drum up visibility for those now that we have one completed one under our belt.
- I need to sort out the best way logistically to pay out the winners of this first bounty. This has been a “cross that bridge when we come to it” thing and… now we’ve come to it
