Happy Sunday!✌️

Welcome to Ponderer's 22nd edition.

Yes, we’re back.

A bit wiser. Same sexy blue. Now, beyond AI.

Don’t ask. Just roll with it 😉

What’s new at Ponderer:

[1] Launched Pixels—our newsletter (and motion) design agency.

[2] Introduced new pricing for the Beehiiv Design Course.

[3] We do the work and our founder, Ricky, gets all the credit.

Yea, yea, yea… he is alright.

That being said…

Here are 1 idea to ponder, 2 resources to skill up, and 3 tools to try out.

Let’s do it.

CREW PONDERINGS

🤔 SaaS: So many good SaaS startups but we rarely see one building a community for their product. [Why?]

🎯 Pivot: We had a vision. The market had other plans but we resisted the temptation for a little while, and then... [This happened]

🧐 Solo-ish: Would you rather be a solopreneur or a multipreneur? We promise to keep it between you and everyone who… [Tell us here]
