A Major Milestone: User #1

They say that a product doesn't truly exist until someone other than the creator uses it. If that's the case, then as of this week, this project is officially real. I am thrilled to share that we have onboarded our very first beta tester.

Seeing how a fresh set of eyes interacts with the micro-page builder has already been eye-opening. Within the first few hours, we've identified small UX friction points that I had become blind to during the development process. This is exactly why this phase is so critical.

Why We're Looking for More Voices

While one tester is a great start, the goal for December is to diversify the feedback. Different industries have different needs, and I want to ensure that whether you are a small business owner, a creator, or a marketing professional, the platform feels like it was built specifically for you.

I'm looking for a handful of additional beta testers to join this early cohort. As a tester, you'll get early access to the core features—including the micro-page editor and the integrated QR code generator—in exchange for your honest, unfiltered feedback.

What Makes a Great Beta Tester?

You don't need to be a tech expert to help out. In fact, I'm specifically looking for people who:

  • Value Simplicity: You're tired of over-complicated tools and want something that just works.

  • Are Action-Oriented: You have a project, event, or business that needs a quick, professional digital presence.

  • Are Willing to Break Things: I need people who will push the limits of the editor so we can find the bugs before the general public does.

How to Join

If you've been following this journey since May and want to have a direct hand in shaping the final product, now is the time to jump in. The feedback from this group will directly influence the roadmap for our official launch.

Thank you to everyone who has followed along so far. Let's build something great together.
