The more SaaS pricing implementations I see, the more I think that pricing should be completely decoupled from any functional components of a software business. “RevenueOps” should be independent from any tech or even billing platform choice. No matter if your customers pay via Stripe, checks submitted via carrier pidgeon or a ponzi scheme cryptocurrency, you need to abstract this away from your service offering.

The biggest upgrade to my “tech stack” I have made in the last few years has been a piece of hardware — a teleprompter. It has made working with video much easier, with a few unexpected side-effects: I am much more present in conversations now that I have my Zoom client and my podcast recording app directly over my camera. I iterated over a few versions: using my iPhone as a second device, mirroring a screen using Luna Display, or using incredibly expensive hardware to flip a cheap LCD screen.

Well, Elgato just made this much easier —and I am not affiliated with this, just a huge fan of their creator stuff— by releasing Elgato Prompter. Comes with a USB-connectable LCD screen, supports a lot of cameras, and is integrated with their other amazing tools. I can tell you one thing: whatever solution you choose, having a teleprompter will make interacting with people online so much more enjoyable (and effective.)

If you’re a sci-fi nerd, you’ll love this list of real-world chairs that have been on screen in Star Trek. If you’re not such a nerd, you should be. And you also should take a look at these chairs, because they’re ranging from really sleek to weird as hell.
