The episode, in writing

Ladies and gents, we're back. I'm doing my first episode here on demonstrating what we call a moment. I totally forgot that I actually include these in the build, but I did mention them a couple of episodes ago.
One cool thing, there's so many cool things with this app, but one cool thing is when you're building, when you're going about your day to day, it's tracking you. It's knowing what you're building, knowing what you're doing, what you've accomplished, and it's tracking milestones. It's tracking little things that you progress on and achieve.
So what it will do is, through Slack, through WhatsApp, through email, it's going to nudge you and say hey, you just got your first customer. And in that moment you can create and add a moment. You can choose two ways of doing it. You can do a video moment, so you can be like hey, just recording this, I'm just documenting, I just got my first customer, how good it feels. It's just a 15 second play. You can also do an audio recording of the same thing.
And then what I've done is just set up now what we call talking over, or talking about, one of those moments. So it's either a moment or a freestyle. A freestyle is just audio. And it's an episode like this where I'm going to talk over it. So it's like a Loom video in a way. I'm small on the screen, and in front of me I've got the moment that I've recorded. I can play it, I can start from the start, I can speed it up. But this is how it's going to look.
That is the moment. It was not a good one, it was just me using the moments. But you can see top right, hopefully, this was recorded two days ago, that moment.
One thing's for sure, when you're building something is you add these things that don't always go through with the testing of it. But the greatest thing about just me using my own product day to day, it is making me not only build new aspects of it but also it makes me test them. It does eventually make me get around to using all of them, and to see if they're really helpful, which I do think this is.
Hopefully in the future I'll be able to speak to you like this talking over the first customer I get. And that's going to be a really good moment.
