I had the privilege to be the guest of @icebearlabs for @codeconquerpod. We had a great chat that touched on a variety of topics: steward-ownership, corporate transparency, and why I believe no-code platforms should prioritize their developer experience. codeandconquer.fm/episode/01…

No-code doesn’t scale. Coding skills are a barrier to entry.
What should a non-technical founder do?
In my recent article on the Entrepreneurship Handbook, I suggest most founders should choose no-code anyway, but choose an API-first no-code tool.

Our CEO is on vacation right now, but before he left, he wrote a post about why other CEOs should be on vacation too. Read @kusti’s five benefits of working less: buff.ly/44DgOBC
Great holiday read from my co-founder @Kusti (And especially important to read if you're not on holiday! 😉) This post describes well one of the important cornerstones of the work culture at Sharetribe. This has allowed also me to so well adapt my work to my lifestyle changes. 💗
In the last 4 years, I've been on holiday on average 9 weeks per year. I've also tracked my working hours on workweeks during those years, and the average has been just below 40 per week. Why do I work so little? I answer the question in this post.

“It’s an Airbnb for pools.”
“It’s an Uber for trucks.”
These are great ways to describe your marketplace at parties. Your developer will need more details. Learn how to specify your requirements effectively. buff.ly/3ZPUrHh

Customer Spotlight 🦸 @LumikhaCosplay
This Sharetribe-powered marketplace is for cosplayers, by cosplayers. Together with a team of volunteers, founder Myleah is helping the cosplay community buy and sell second-hand costumes easily, affordably, and sustainably.
ALT At the top, a picture of Myleah smiling widely, looking off camera. Followed by... Title: Myleah, a cosplayer, built a marketplace for cosplayers! Ingress: Lumikha Cosplay Resale is a community marketplace for cosplayers, from cosplayers, where people can buy and sell pre-owned costumes and items. Then body text. Next to an image of Lumikha's landing page: Why Myleah built Lumikha? Buying second-hand cosplay online isn't easy. Also, cosplays often end up being used only a few times. Myleah wanted to create a platform where selling these cosplays would be simple and fast, while also tackling sustainability issues like fabric waste and fast fashion. Next to an image of Myleah as Karatoga Tenn from IDOLiS7 (photo by Ubevisuals): Why Sharetribe loves Lumikha: Lumikha is a perfect example of a community marketplace, where people come together around a shared passion! It proves the power of an active, pre-existing community as a building block of two-sided platforms.

It's about the importance of slowing down and taking a deep breath when we notice a fear reaction. 😌

A new #GoodLifeMaps video about #fear and #frear! When you notice signs of fear in your body, contraction, shallow breath - Frear! Slow down and breathe deeply. Fully feel the message and you'll be much freer to choose how you act. 💪
