Each asset carries the moment it came from, so the host can check it, not trust it.

Early adopters are the kind of people who get excited about what you’re building—and they’re also incredibly forgiving when things aren’t totally rounded out yet.

It’s kind of bittersweet for me because it’s beautiful out. It’s just always nostalgia all over the place that are getting hit at this time of year.

Why I’m excited for Meeps—and why you should be too

I’ve never felt more energized about building than I do right now. In this episode, I’m sharing a candid update on Meeps—our product for creative communities—and why it’s such a unique time to be a TALL stack dev.

You’ll hear how working hands-on with early access customers has completely changed my perspective. Their excitement and feedback are shaping the features we’re rolling out, from robust event management to automated browser testing using MagicTest—a tool that’s saving me hours every week.

I talk about why early access is more than just a launch tactic—it’s a way to build alongside real users, discover hidden needs, and deliver something truly valuable. Plus, I reveal what’s coming next: the Events feature, letting you manage and RSVP to events right inside Meeps. If you join before the early access closes, you’ll lock in lifetime access for just $100/year.

If you’re curious about product-building, dev life, or simply want a peek behind the curtain, this episode is for you. Hit play and let’s dig in together.
