How does open source software work? (as a business)
Hey! Brian Casel here. As a reminder, you're subscribed to this here newsletter where I share my notes and conversations about products, business and life.. Not into it? You can unsubscribe.
That's how I'm positioning ZipMessage's core value prop. This week I launched a big update to the website. I unpacked this project (with screenshots) here. What do you think?
I'm a believer in reworking your website and copy much more frequently than most. This is v4 of the ZipMessage site.
Speaking of, TailwindCSS makes reworking designs so much easier. It's easily my favorite tool in the stack. My buddy Adam Wathan (creator of Tailwind) joined me on episode 2 of Open Threads, below. It's a good chat!
See ya next week. - Brian
