keep with your format just duplicate 'education' or something and rename it ๐
This week

A perk of creating job listings on is that they are distributed in our newsletter every 2 weeks! We have 32K~ readers, a 40% open rate, and a 3% click through rate.
We just pushed a fresh TestFlight build with our new app icon for Posts! We originally messaged our pal

There's a super cool product designer opportunity at
@Replit
. We're constantly in awe of what their team is doing โ the role is fully remote, but they have offices in NY and SF if that's your thing.
Also! If you're solely just a user our latest build is still worth installing for mobile DMs. Posts and share an inbox, and having push notifications makes messaging 10x more useful.
Sharing a new web app I've been working on โ it's a small platform for building mindful professional profiles. More link-in-bio sized than LinkedIn and more interactive than a PDF. Have a look atย , or the link in my bio.
There's been a lot of buzz around the tools
@OpenAI
have been building lately, and for good reason. If you're curious about the design team behind the product give their team profile a peak - they share side projects, their workspace, and some tunes!
A niche Teams editor feature we built is the ability to invert images in dark mode. This is super handy if you have transparent line art you'd like to keep legible in both light and dark mode ๐
Bags and stickers going out to our community in Taiwan, Netherlands, Norway, Japan, Turkey, India, Canada, Spain, Brazil, Russia, Malta, the UK and throughout the United States ๐
