⚒️ Tool-Path

Jacob Donnelly, GM of B2B at Morning Brew, recently left Substack and rebuilt his subscription-based publication with WordPress. He realized his publication, A Media Operator, was much more than just a newsletter.

Jacob eventually landed on the following tech stack: WordPress → Mailchimp → Pico → Stripe → Captivate
In these tutorials, we are going to show you how to achieve this same functionality.

💡 Member Spotlight: Harshala Chavan

This week we talked to Harshala Chavan from Mumbai, India. Harshala is the Founder of Merrative, a social network that helps you to find like-minded readers to discuss ideas from the books you have read. Merrative started as an Instagram page back in December 2019 and a community was built around sharing recommended reads. In April 2020 Harshala started learning more about no-code and created the first version of the Merrative web app using bubble. Now Merrative has grown to a 2000+ member community of avid readers who connect through group discussions and video calls. Read the blog.

📋 The 2021 Makerpad No-Code Report

The Makerpad mission is to educate as many people about no-code as we can. This means learning about the current state of no-code, understanding more about our community members, and how best we can help you.

As a member of our community, your feedback really matters to us. We'd love to invite you to participate in the 2021 Makerpad No-Code Report. This is a chance for you to share your opinions and really help to shape the future of no-code. The report will give us a clear picture of where our members are in the world, what they are working on, what they would like to learn, and how no-code fits into their life.

We want to better understand these things as it helps us to plan our future tutorials, courses, bootcamps, live workshops and challenges. It will help us to better tailor what we create, the opportunities that we share and it will grow our ability to meet the interests of our community. The survey takes around 6 minutes to complete.

🚀 Community Projects

Slack Thread Archiver created by Earnest Capital. "Our team at Earnest Capital built a tool to quickly archive knowledge from our Slack community by exporting a thread to Airtable with a single 🗄️ emoji. Our video shows it in action!"

Tweeetos created by Tristan Adlington. "For the past few months I have been collecting my favourite tweets via Zapier and saving them all in a database. Recently, I hooked this up to Unsplash and Bannerbear to turn them all into backgrounds so that now I see a different one every hour or every day on my Mac. There were a few obstacles, but most of it was done with Airtable automations, Zapier and Bannerbear. All the backgrounds are free to download!"

Membership Website Guide created by Narek. "I've prepared a guide on creating membership websites and wanted to share it! One of our main priorities was to make it as simple and straightforward as possible, so that it doesn't need a complex setup or relies on multiple paid services to implement a simple site with user accounts. I hope this brief guide will be useful!"
