Shipped CSV import today.
Two customers moved 10k+ contacts in under a minute this morning. The old flow was click, click, click, and pray.
We should've built this four months ago. Sorry, Sarah.

OK so today we shipped the CSV import thing. Finally. I've been sitting on this feature request for like four months and it turns out it was a three-day build, not a three-week build, I just kept overthinking it. Which, classic. Anyway we shipped it this morning and I've already had two customers email saying they moved like 10,000 contacts over in under a minute, which is cool because the old way was click, click, click, and you'd want to die. One of them, Sarah from that marketing agency, she told me she'd been waiting for this since she signed up in January. So, sorry Sarah. But also, there's a version of this where I keep saying no to features because they feel big and then they turn out not to be big and I'm leaving money on the table for months. I need to be better at prototyping this stuff in an afternoon before I write it off. Anyway. Tomorrow I want to post about the import thing, and also the whole "three-day vs three-week" thing because I think that's the more interesting lesson. And we're hiring a second engineer now so if anyone knows someone good at Postgres and Elixir…

Turned out to be a three-day build, not a three-week build. I just never prototyped it.
Before you say no to something that feels big, spend an afternoon on it. Most things are smaller than they look.
Hiring a second engineer.
Postgres + Elixir. Early-stage. We ship fast and just had our best product week in months.
If that's you, or you know someone, reply or DM.
Not a chatbot's. Your phrasing, your tone, your jokes.
From thought to post, without the typing interruption.
X today. LinkedIn next.
You should. You don't. The moments worth a post hit when you've got no keyboard and no time.
ChatGPT writes from prompts. Voast writes from how you actually talk. That's where your voice lives.
The ramble is where the specifics live. The names, the numbers, the details that make a post yours. Voast keeps those. It skips the "ums."
