Embarrassed to say this but I feel like we‘re getting closer and closer to „the first day“ that we REALLY launch Kiwi News. Confused?

Two years ago, on here (!!), I launched Kiwi News. Full of hope and within a cohort of founders who now mostly have thrown in the towel.

While it was fun at first turned into a waking nightmare. For a long time after launch we didn‘t have our priorities straight. We thought we could do more, so we explored a huge space of features on our product. We had featuritis. At the same time our main product, the content feed, was bad. And there were many bugs…

The lesson was really painful when ETH crashed to zero (1600 USD) and our badly planned runway evaporated. You cannot build bad products in bad markets…

So we had to admit to ourselves that what we were doing wasn‘t working. That we were doing too much. And none of it well.

I think we‘ve now come around to this. Kiwi is now simpler. It‘s a news feed website with the most relevant crypto content. 

Try it!

Okay so I was thinking how to talk about Kiwi once we did this pivot back to our roots.

I prepared some rough draft. 

Pls don’t tell Tim I shared it on FC because I haven’t sent this draft to him before YOLO publishing it here.

Here’s the v0.1 idea for our story:

Nostalgia hit! This throwback brought back the best memories—thank you for making us smile with a trip down memory lane.
