Device Shots

If you're as graphically challenged as me, you hate creating mockups of phones or screens - fiddling with images to get them just right in the random template you found. Frustrating.

This tool might be a life saver. It's so quick - upload your image at the ideal dimensions (don't worry, it tells you what they are), and boom, there's your mockup ready to download. For free.

A whole bunch of the usual phones, laptops, watches etc.

Not a huge amount of flexibility if you want something different e.g. a phone at an angle. But, need something quick then this is the tool for you.

💌 Newsletter

First 1000

I love reading about how businesses found their first customers. So much to learn from other's experience in the early days. 

This newsletter is relatively new but already covered Morning Brew, Etsy, Barstool Sports and others. It's all there in the archive.

Highly recommended reading.

"A newsletter where we dive deep about how founders got their first 1000 customers. With their back against the wall and very little amount of funding, it is always interesting to learn how they managed to get their companies off the ground to become a tech behemoth."
