more amazing launches and updates for you this week Reader!

first, some upstarts stats for you:

• launched 12 Feb 26 (15 days ago)
• 39 members
• 29 launches
• 3 champions (more on that soon)

upstarts is running at full speed, this week we launched some amazing updates:

• DMs-lite: when you tag someone you can mark it as private
• post replies are now stacked like whatsapp, no nested replies which looks ugly
• add images to posts by copy pasting or dragging in
• … plus LOADS of small UI edits and backend wizardry

in the last 7 days we’ve had 20 product launches alone, here are my faves:

• ​https://www.upstarts.app/p/lead-scraper = scrape business data
• ​https://www.upstarts.app/p/pdf-merge = merge PDFs
• ​https://www.upstarts.app/p/ios-code-lab = master iOS, land the Job
• ​https://www.upstarts.app/p/meetdone = turn meeting notes into follow-up emails
• ​https://www.upstarts.app/p/supp = support automation, for less

on a side note, i love that builders are listing their tech stack, its super interesting to see what code stack and tech people use. like this:

builder of the week goes tov @thom who launched two new products this week and is on a roll with BizDevTools. i love his approach to fixing small specific problems with simple products – keep on building @thom!

we also introduced Upstarts Champions (or ‘champs’), and so far have 3:

champions are like advocates, helping spread the word and give us amazing feedback to make Upstarts better day by day, so a big thank you and shout out to them.
