I came across Thingtesting in June and have been following since. Great place for discovering new products. I love Jenny's insightful reviews both from consumer and VC's perspective.
Pros:
Great reviews, beautiful design
Cons:
Not posting every day

I wonder if posting every day would come across as somehow shallow or too content driven just for the sake of content?
I think Jenny is really onto something very special with Thingtesting. I met Jenny in LA after connecting with her on IG and shared the Brightland story and vision with her...and a bottle of Brightland as well. She wrote a thoughtful, honest and wonderful post about Brightland and every time I see a post of hers, I am always inspired and excited to read + learn. Thank you for creating Thingtesting, Jenny!
Pros:
Thoughtful, thought-provoking, clean, beautiful imagery and forward-leaning
Loving it, this is awesome! Great idea @gyllanderjenny
I love discovering new products but a lot of "curation" stuff is either aliexpress rebrands or the same old products being recommended everywhere or stuff that's US only 😟
But yoo these picks! ooho! , Sulapac, Curology, Ritual, Brightland, Moonjuice, Acey, Monzo (I prefer Revolut, but still) - they resonate with stuff me, my friends and my uhhhh...my "type of people" use or would use. Also loving the aesthetic, clean and satisfying. Keep up the good work! 💯
Also, I get asked what tools and products I use for Thingtesting: On top of the usual suspects (Photoshop, VSCO and an excessive amount of airdropping between my phone and computer) I use daily:
- 📝Notion: I need products that run flawlessly on desktop and mobile, because 80% of the work for Thingtesting can mainly be done on mobile. Notion helps me organise my post pipeline, write notes, and all the rest, on the go. https://www.producthunt.com/post...

Jenny has created a new model for what VCs should do: She is helping cool companies get exposure in a beautiful way, rather than just promoting their own portfolio companies. More importantly, she is making VC thinking concrete, practical and accessible, rather than keeping the analysis behind closed doors. I wish more people had the courage to start companies, so giving access to this kind of insight is invaluable.
Pros:
Genuine and honest reviews of products I haven't heard of, but I wish I had.
Cons:
Would love old twitter char limited tl;dr version

I find myself looking forward to new posts, as we seem to have similar tastes/curiosities! Very relevant, very helpful, and especially enjoy the VC perspective (as I am also a VC)
Pros:
Visual, concise, clear reviews that provide direction
