We’re launching a series of "Creator Stories" to showcase up-and-coming products & the stories behind them. Creator Stories are interviews with founders/creators in which we ask them questions on the problem they are solving, why, what makes them unique, typical or interesting use cases, what they use to build their product/company, and so on. Through doing these interviews, we want to celebrate creators and also give buyers a better narrative and understanding for why they should use a software product.
We wrote more about our launch on Medium: https://blog.siftery.com/introdu...
@yaekyum Thanks for sharing your story with us!
I also wanted to add that we're adding links to the Creator Stories throughout the site (e.g. on the product cards on siftery.com/trending)
@kwdinc awesome. Is there a particular theme of products you are going to cover or pretty much anything? Are u going to categorize them, if you are going to cover all stories? Thx
@sridhar_kondoji@kwdinc we're largely covering up-and-coming b2b products, especially those who have an interesting take on why they're building what they're building. feel free to tweet us if you'd like to share something interesting that you or your friends built!
@vammok yes, we are working on 2 products. One product is in AR space where the challenge is in CV ML space. We are at least 3 months away for a POC. The other is my own project which I am working to launch ion PH soon. We are in testing and bug fixing mode. Will reach out soon. Thanks.
@kwdinc the one about logo design as it has references to the not popular 'website builder' phrase and I had a similar issue with my startup description, so I'm quite into a topic ;)
Hey @kwdinc, congrats with your launch!
I read some of these stories (found on Twitter). I remember the good one about Applivery.
The idea behind "Creator Stories" is good and useful for startup founders. But I personally love reading about "how famous companies started" or "mistakes\good practises" from fellow startup founders in my industry. The first kind of stories motivates me, the second one provides answers on the specific questions. If I'm looking for some product to try, then I probably will read posts about the product (but it will be some product feedback or listings of features).
Maybe, I'm in the minority group of readers and I honestly wish you luck!
@lisadziuba@kwdinc Thanks for the comment, Lisa. We started creator stories to highlight some of the (SaaS) products that are new and upcoming - we tried to understand the motivation of the creators / founders behind creating these products and chronicled their journey. As we experiment more with genres and formats, the platform will be able to unearth stories highlighting the practitioner side of things - how great companies were started, operated to (and at) scale, their stack and culture that enabled them to grow and succeed. If you have more specific ideas and want us to pursue them, do send them over to hello@siftery.com :)
Thanks to all the awesome creators who have been generous with their time to help us get this project started.
Hope to be publishing many, many more of these in the coming weeks!
Love Siftery's take to advice on software by having companies share their app stacks. Clean and fun design as well, pleasure to use it. The stories make the community-feeling all the more living and breathing.
