People always ask me: What does your setup look like? Just kidding -- nobody has ever once asked me that. But seems like on LinkedIn, the way to share something is to say "Everybody always asks me X, so let me tell you…

Just landed my FIRST customer! text.email now has ONE paying subscriber at $9.95/month. MRR=almost ten dollars. ARR=$120. Woo hoo! Hoping to hit $20/month by the end of tomorrow. If I were in my 20s, I'd be like LFGGG…

Yesterday I got a new car -- a 2026 Nissan Leaf. This is to replace a Tesla Model 3, because the lease was up. The best feature of the Leaf? It's completely devoid of the stink of Elon Musk. The process to get the Leaf…

My OpenAI award finally arrived this weekend... You might see "10 billion tokens" and think "wow, that's a lot". I did too, until I saw a Reddit thread about how McKinsey & Company got the same award for 100 billion tok…

Finally made it to 400,000 Years ago the Chrome Web Store stopped showing exact install counts in favor of rounded numbers. It used to say "26,789 installs" for example. Now it would just say "20,000 installs", until yo…

I spent 20 minutes lying to Chase bank Wanted to pay a new vendor $15,000 through ACH. The transaction was immediately flagged, and I'm told to call an 877 number to speak to a "fraud specialist". Except they should cal…

The restaurant wanted to tack on a 3.5% surcharge This annoys me to no end. At RPM Seafood in Chicago, at the bottom of the menu, it says that a 3.5% surcharge will be added to my bill. If the restauranted wanted to b…

Banks are the dumbest organizations in the world Citi suspected that a few, sporadic OpenAI transactions were fraudulent, put a block on my card, and caused every other transaction to fail until I responded to this ridi…

My favorite way to use Astra is to make subtle tweaks to my website. I've been feeling like the homepage of text-dot-email is too text heavy, and I didn't think the hero section "popped" enough. So, I asked it to gener…

Just passed 10 billion. And only 9.9 billion are internal emails we sent to ourselves for testing.

Who remembers the OLD Stripe checkout popup? As part of the GMass website redesign, we FINALLY, after TEN YEARS, switched from the old old old old first-version Stripe checkout to the modern Stripe checkout flow, and...…

Your Email Service Provider's Email Service Provider The ESP market is pretty saturated these days, but my favorite differentiator is that a whole bunch of ESPs have used GMass instead of their own platform to send thei…

Everyone should use AI to improve their website The new GMass website was 99% built by AI, and it is awesome. One of the best parts of the new site is all the motion graphics on the homepage. And they were amazingly eas…

My favorite part of the new GMass website is our use of humor + AI. Enter a ridiculous question into the box and see what you get. Another preset example you can try: "I want GMass to fly me to Mars, where I’ll becom…

Boring post alert. Yesterday, a text-dot-email customer sent me a Microsoft 365 delivery log. A sensor notification they were trying to turn into a text message wasn’t getting through. Buried in the log was the clue:…

The GMass UI has always been a hot mess... But that's by design. We are not a "step 1, enter your campaign name", "step 2, pick a subject line" type of tool. We give it to you all at once. Still though, as much as that…

I hate paying attorneys for contract review. A potential customer for GMass or my texting service will send over THEIR terms that they want me to sign, and that creates the extra work of having to actually read and unde…
