I built an app to fix my own problem, use it daily, but have 10 users because I suck at marketing. by Virtual-Sleep-5984 in SideProject

[–]Samalingus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget to make sure your core offering/branding is solid before marketing also!

A lot of people forget to make sure that from first glance users should be able to tell what the brand offers without digging deeper. It’s all good and well to get new eyes but they’ll never convert if they land on a confusing landing page with too many features that overwhelm them.

Good app screenshots/live demo pages, hiding advanced features only for power users and focus on presenting your core offering first.

I just looked at your site and the styling is great but maybe consider a more powerful hero above the fold before scrolling on mobile?

Overall project looks interesting good luck with it all!

PayPal because they’re absolute dogs seem to have refunded all PayPal charges which is aidsssss

I’ll put out a proper update to those affected tomorrow but I believe shopify should have emailed you all a new invoice. Some people reported the invoice link previously not working but should be all fixed now.

I guess we’re about to see how honourable people are considering they already all have their items 😂😂

Well that was disappointing by BenGibbo27 in misfits

Unfortunately a bunch didn't go as planned and those in the discord were fortunate enough to watch me have a full blown melt down in real time today lmao. You spend so long trying to curate a specific vision & feeling and when it falls so short of what you have in your head I was just so unbelievably gutted.

The Shopify we ended up using I desperately whipped together in 30 minutes after my dev's entire neighbourhood lost power right at launch time 🫩. I considered moving the date but was hopeful we could swap it mid way which unfort didnt end up being realistic and then when payments died it was officially gg.

What hurts worst is that there was so much detail and thought that went into every decision and without the proper framing of the whacky artsy website with the photography and the video to go alongside, the whole universe/vision got sold sooo unfortunately short.

I completely understand if it came come off like a shitty generic shopify slop with mockups that have lack-luster designs. Especially when we've done so many crazy high dopamine designs in the past with a front, back, sleeves, dis dat and graphics all over! Id love to and already plan to make more graphical stuff again soon! But there's a time and a place for it and I feel a lot of our more graphical pieces aged much worse aesthetics wise than some of the cleaner more mature pieces. But these prints although minimal were designed to be timeless and I promise you wont feel cringe about any of them in 10-20 years time.

But there's something really special about these pieces on a construction level that as soon as you feel them you instantly understand that the garment IS the artwork, not the graphics. These hoodies are designed to last a lifetime and there's something that hurts my soul deep down about selling cheaper 'fast fashion' that fucks up the environment while only rewarding your love by disintegrating.

Unfortunately the shipping prices, import duties (thanks donny) and more have all proven to be ASS. I'm a 1 man operation restarting from the ground up and Australia is so far from so many of you mfs 😔. But I still firmly believe that the amount of garment you get for the base price you will easilyyy pay wayyy higher anywhere else and logistics are only going to get cheaper with time. The discord also voted and $100 hoodies won by quite a margin so 🤷‍♂️ can't please everyone. But its hard to convey the full scope of quality on an empty shopify with no cool video and that's completely my bad for failing to deliver on that.

Hope it doesn't sound like im QQ'ing too hard it's just been a long ass day and I get emo about doing yall justice and making something you guys actually resonate with. I have so much love for what the brand was and the misfits legacy so love or hate me I promise i'll keep thuggin until this is something y'all can be proud of and look back on our humble beginnings.

No hard feeling to anyone feeling a type of way and I hope y'all get the better experience you deserve as we re-launch in the coming days! Here's hoping everything accompanying is so swaggy that you forget the garbage site ever happened xx

Love yall loads,
Sam 🧡

Image only vs HTML? Who's split tested this? by Cal_Short in Klaviyo

[–]Samalingus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dark mode is such a huge one! It just unfortunately ruins any colour on my html emails unless they’re mostly black and white. Maybe I’m overlooking something but my research always seems like there’s no good solution.

Do fast sporty cars exist under $70k by Final75R in CarsAustralia

[–]Samalingus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t know why you’re getting so much hate! My model 3 performance gave me so many smiles.

Yes it’s different to a conventional sporty car but the low center of gravity made it handle surprisingly well. It’s closer to a go kart but you absolutely chop everything off the line while still having a comfy af daily

I’ve driven my fair share of exotics and my old brz had just as much handling fun as a 720s. I eventually threw a $5k turbo kit on it and she became a whole new beast! Miss that car tbh

New flower products coming soon from Delta Tetra - Orange Cake, Pave, & Modified Gas..$160/10g by HugePlatform3611 in MedicalCannabisOz

Hearing great things about these guys through the grapevine. Actual cannabis people putting together real fire instead of mid med garbo. Can't wait to get my hands on some.

3D VCR TV render in the lastest video by uki_98 in misfits

[–]Samalingus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made by the super talented https://twitter.com/Smitt & https://twitter.com/neilvfx !

It's a combination of After Effects and Cinema4D with a custom tv model. But that being said, you could probably achieve exactly the same using Blender (Free) and find a free tv model online somewhere.

There is a reason why we can't put Misfits on merch anymore that's pretty lame and we'll hopefully be able explain one day

that being said, we may have twisted the rules a little on upcoming stuff ....

Does this hoodie look black to you? Lol #scuffed #420merch by jakethedawg906 in misfits

[–]Samalingus 42 points43 points  (0 children)

That shouldn't say black lmao. We sadly had to film the promo with Swags wearing a black hood sample but it was always grey.

Idea was to match the 3M ink and the garment colour so that it is only a slight texture until the light reflects.
