reply guys

My top priority for this week is turning all of your invaluable feedback into a rock-solid product. This entire week is dedicated to shipping the fixes and improvements from the public roadmap.

As I was mapping out the work, I had a realization about how to best help people understand Reply.

My original plan was to write a massive set of docs. But then I thought about the response to that quick video I made for the Telegram notifications. The feedback was clear: a short, visual guide was far more helpful than any wall of text could ever be.

It was a lightbulb moment. Showing is always better than telling.

So, I'm making a strategic shift. Once the core fixes are shipped this week, I'm going all-in on creating a library of short, simple video guides to walk through every part of the app: the secure escrow, the 3-day refund, and the value for both sides.

I'll be creating these official guides myself. But I've already seen some of you creating your own amazing content. I love this. It's the community building the community.

If you're inspired to create your own video walkthrough of a Reply feature, please share it. I'll be watching and will make sure to personally highlight and reward the best community-made guides. You'll be helping new users understand the tool.

So, the plan for this week is simple:

1. BUILD: Ship the roadmap fixes and improvements.
2. CLARIFY: Begin building the video guide playbook, with the community's help.

The goal is to make Reply the most intuitive and trustworthy tool it can be. Time to get to work.

Creating short, simple video guides for app features is a great idea! Visual guides are often more effective than lengthy text explanations. It's fantastic to see the community involved in building guides too. This approach will definitely help new users understand Reply better. Looking forward to the improvements!
