5 playbooks and guides to make building easier
Building is not easy. Fortunately, the maker community is a very resourceful and helpful one. We love when others share their knowledge and we continue seeing that happen all the time over discussions and on launches.
Recently, these makers curated and launched playbooks to make learning from others easier. Let’s take a look. 👇
Wizen Guides covers most topics indie makers will need when they’re just getting started. The makers interviewed founders and distilled their advice into actionable how-to guides for others to learn about marketing, product, and more.
Scaling Research Playbook by Maze x ADPList covers insights and advice from 30+ UX leaders sharing real-life examples and key principles.
“Our goal is to give UX leaders a practical guide on how to scale the impact of research by empowering product teams to run their own research and build a learning muscle in their organizations,” Maze founder shared.
The Science Based Playbook of Pricing provides practical recommendations and examples of price setting, based on research papers from scientific journals such as the Journal of Marketing and Marketing Science.
CXL Playbook Community is a bootstrapped project and offers over 2500 step-by-step marketing guides, ranging from growth to analytics and A/B testing.
Early Stage Founders Playbook is a book for founders who “love building features and struggle with marketing.” It contains 21 sections that will help you figure out what marketing tactics are most suitable for you, a curated list of 35 software tools to help you grow faster, and a planner with 36 marketing activities to take, average budget, and probable conversion rate for every activity.

Your agents stopped answering and started doing
Your agents call tools, write to databases and move money, so a wrong answer is now a wrong action, which is a considerably worse meeting. Arcjet runs policy before every LLM call, tool call, query and API request: prompt injection, sensitive data, bots, rate limits, spend quotas, and your own rules in Rego on top. It reads the OpenTelemetry you already emit, so switching it on is one environment variable, no code changes and nothing to deploy. Each check also reads the earlier steps in the same workflow, so an agent's tenth action gets judged against the first nine and not on its own. JavaScript, Python and Go SDKs all at 1.0, agent framework guards included, free tier to start on.
