BetaBloom is growing fast – we now have 200 published products and 595 improvement suggestions across the community! That’s 35 new published products (21% growth) and 173 new suggestions since the prior newsletter 28 days ago. Live video reviews have worked great for bringing new founders to the community.
Latest Updates
- Locked Feedback - Founders must now provide feedback to other products before seeing more than 2 suggestions on their own. The first 2 suggestions are always visible, but additional feedback is hidden until you’ve contributed back to the community. This currently affects ~10% of products. The goal is stronger reciprocity so the best feedback keeps flowing for everyone. Big thanks to Brent, founder of BuildRunKit, for this recommendation.
- Video Review Tool - I built a tool for creating live video reviews and feedback. It handles recording, transcript to feedback generation, upload to YouTube, thumbnail generation and more. I’ve proactively reviewed products across X, Reddit and Discord. Founders find tremendous value in a live review with honest feedback. 19 new founders have joined BetaBloom from these reviews already. I also opened this up to a select set of users. Eiran Trethowan, founder of SoloBoardroom, posted a live review using this tool.
- Discord Server - We now have a Discord where you can connect with other founders and chat with me directly. Join the conversation.
