Peter's got some big personal news this week that he just shared with his investors and ... Twitter! He's helping the Tailwind CSS team launch a job board for Tailwind CSS related jobs. Him and Matt discuss this move and how it will affect Reform.

Matt and the Summit team have soft launched their big push into letting Summit modellers publish public apps based on their models. The new Summit marketing website is almost caught up to all the big product changes that have shipped lately.

Matt and the Summit team are close to the release date for all the stuff they've been working on with public-facing Summit apps. To show how powerful the new Summit is, Pieter built a proof-of-concept no-code app in Bubble that is powered by a Summit simulation underneath (see links below for tweet).

Covid finally caught up to Peter last week, but he managed to launch Reform's ConvertKit integration before finally giving in to the disease. Him and Bjørn are working on the templates section of Reform.

Matt is back from France and Peter is back from Scotland. They are both eager to get back to work. Reform has soft-launched their ConvertKit integration and are planning to announce it very soon. Summit is getting closer to general admission where users will be able to launch public-facing apps and calculators on top of their Summit models.

Peter launched Reform Free on Product Hunt and became the number two product of the day. A result that is better than he expected! However, the launch has left him exhausted.

Matt is working through how all the latest Summit updates have impacted the positioning of the product. This obviously has a big impact on the new Summit website which is coming soon.

Peter is optimistic about the early results of his SEO efforts and Reform's free plan, which has started to contribute a meaningful amount of traffic to Reform's website.

Matt has had a busy period on the personal front, but the Summit team has been making some solid progress on the product while Matt has been occupied with graduation ceremonies, family visits etc.

Peter is back from London where he went to MicroConf Local and attended the IndieBeers meet-up. Though the largest Reform customer recently churned, Peter has some optimistic news about Reform's churn. On the marketing front, Peter is working on SEO and an upcoming Product Hunt launch, while Bjørn is building a ConvertKit integration for Reform.

Matt recently shared Summit's new presentation mode on Twitter, which made Summit "click" for several people - including Peter. By remixing some of the existing elements of Summit, the preview mode will soon allow Summit users to create apps on the platform that can be consumed by other end users - and they won't even have to know what Summit is.
