Today’s Topics Include:

  • Ludicrous Mode: Full-resolution, uncompressed video stream option added to Tuple

  • Tuple’s conversion rate for email list
  • Ben’s “I’m bad at sales” email message and demo video
  • Things to do and features to add in the future for Tuple
  • Tuple achieves semi-milestone of customer renewals
  • Ben’s fear of public availability to post Tuple’s pricing
  • Bandwidth forces AoP podcast back to one episode per week
  • Derrick ships fun and addictive emoji reactions feature in Level
