Skimm Ahead - Gives you all the info you need for the future

This looks interesting but the website doesn't really get into details - can I choose what kind of events I get notified about? Or is it curated by the editors? You are talking about the community being an integral part of the experience - can I follow people, have them suggest events to add to my calendar? Can I curate events I'd recommend? This seems to be about announcements more than actual events to go to - are you planning to monetise by promoting announcements of partner companies? Can I create my own announcements and share them with the community? I'm intrigued but definitely need more precise information on the app ;)

Love, love this! I'm a total junkie of theSkimm and a Skimmbassador, and as a content marketer I've always wondered how they build the newsletter's editorial calendar (as much as they can with a daily email about breaking news). Testing out the calendar the past few weeks felt like I was seeing inside theSkimm's brain - a calendar of the references and spoilers I'm going to need to understand down the line. Also, this past debate marked the first time I didn't tune in late because I forgot about it until seeing live tweets. The calendar's notification popped up and I remembered to change the channel in time. :) And just the presence of "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" with a red wine emoji on my week last week made me happy every time I looked at it!

A little weak and outdated on UI Design but quite interesting.

I have to say, it took me a good couple of minutes to figure out what you do. I think there might be too much wording and fluff before it gets to the point. I came to the site actively looking to find out more so i stayed but others might not. As the product name suggests, most of us skimm text now and so i missed the point, well because, i was skimming. I know its not the point of the product but i did think it was a news product to send me the news i'm interested in so i don't need to spend time looking. You might want to fix the copy on the homepage so that its more succinct and direct with a nice CTA. Otherwise i like the product, its cool. If its going to organise my brain, me likey!

Really.really.really smart @Danielle. I have been following Skimm for minute now. Even 1% of those 3.5 MAU's is a nice residual income. I do think offering a yearly option (if you haven't already) would be interesting because you're die-hard-Skimmer's would most likely take you up on it. Also, finding ways for people to Share Skimm for a free month credit would be cool too. I know I share it naturally, but give me an incentive and I'm more likely to do it. Lastly doing a promo around Christmas for FREE 1 MONTH of SKIMM on the app if they create an account with you would be successful. Most people won't pay for an app even if it's $.99 unless it's a game. However offering a trial would get you there. Just some thoughts on things we learned from running app business.

Great product! Very useful for me!

I'm a sucker for these kinds of products. Sign me up already! Edit: For a European user, this adds... Well, lacks context. Also the news is already old before it reaches my morning drowsiness, which makes it slightly more annoying than my alarm clock. The tongue-in-cheek naming convention is nicely done though and makes news a bit more fun, but the interface of the app could use some inspiration and a dash of paint!
