Don't sell WriteStack short, Orel. Sure, scheduling posts is probably the biggest original feature, but for someone like me that travels a lot, and therefore knew there were going to be lots of time that my laptop would be closed, I missed a lot of opportunities when I would have normally posted. Now I set aside time to batch schedule for a week at a time, and always work to keep plenty of drafts. And there so many other features that I consistently use.

I really appreciate you saying that. I sometimes feel like it's never enough, but I have to keep reminding myself that hundreds of people love it. No reason for me to sell it short.

Thank you man <3

"I prefer being honest over looking good." This hits me. Honesty is what actually creates real connection and trust.

"i prefer being honest over looking good" is the line that stayed with me. i've watched founders go quiet when something breaks and it almost always makes things worse, with users, with themselves. what strikes me here is that the transparency wasn't just the right thing to do, it turned out to be the strategic thing too. that's not always how it goes and i think it's worth saying. thanks for sharing this so openly.

Such a great post!! Focusing on quality code to keep existing and new customers happy really is the best referral metric anyway.
