I can't see how this is one of those 'category defining products'. Health tracking, wireless payments, and the like are all okay, but don't inspire me to buy it. It's also ugly as hell, the 'Edition' version is absolutely garish.

Congrats Ryan and co. Really enjoyed the live chat several weeks ago and good to see things are still going well.

Thanks, bebbs! Which chat was that?

This is a fantastic tool, really well implemented. Will definitely be following along how this develops in the future.

I can't fathom what problem it solves. It looks like some sort of chatroom with a couple of collaboration features but I shouldn't have to try hard to work that out if I'm a band.

How do bands currently solve this problem, and why is this better? Every word on the page should be dedicated to solving this question.

Think about the primary actions you want the user to take and work backwards from them. At the moment I know I can give you my email to 'sign up' but I have no idea what that does.

Logging in is also way too hard.

There's Visual Website Optimizer and it's competitors. I've made good money in the past by setting VWO up on client websites and handling their testing for them. They aren't interested how it's accomplished or whether it's a software or service solution, only that before I started they sold 10x widgets a day and now they sell 15x. When x is worth several hundred dollars it makes them more than happy to pay good money for it to be done.

I suspect this is true for all but the tiniest of companies.

* Junior Engineer / Growth Hacker seeks interesting London Startup *

Location: London, UK / Relocation - Full Time

Stack: Ruby, Rails, Bootstrap, Heroku, LESS, AWS, Postgresql - (More than happy to learn new technologies)

Resume: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_HE0eSeECpDZyFQhVrxOWygo...

Contact: See Resume for email

I'm a young 'technical generalist', looking for an exciting opportunity to make a difference to a startup in London, whether that's in an engineering or growth role. I love to learn, whether that's exploring a new Gem, analysing and optimising a key metric, or wrangling some code from an idea into existence.

I have spent the last 6 months 'deep-diving' in Ruby on Rails, learning to work with APIs, write well organized test-driven code, use front end frameworks, and deploy on cloud services (Heroku, AWS.)

Concurrently, I have been building two project businesses - a traybake subscription service, and a press release service to connect startups with journalists.

Enabling awesome things to grow is what gets me out of bed in the morning.

Steve Jobs managed to be pretty effective as CEO of both Pixar and Apple at the same time for a while. Admittedly, his involvement at Pixar was mainly strategic whilst he was running Apple, but still.

Though Jobs was obviously the exception to so many rules.
