Good morning and welcome to your weekly dose of workspace inspiration!
Candidly speaking… I now have ~50 workspaces in the backlog to share with you! This is both good and bad. Good because there is no end in sight for this amazing newsletter. Bad because some of the featured guests are now waiting in a looong queue before having their space shared.
I’ve been thinking of ways to handle this (maybe it isn’t a problem at all?) but would also love your thoughts! Leave as is and continue to churn out 2 spaces per week? More newsletters per week? More than one space per newsletter?
Reply to this email with any ideas!
Thank you!

I’ve been helping the team at Heyday out with content-related projects for the last few months and their browser extension has made publishing Workspaces SO much easier.
The team just launched out of beta on Product Hunt last week and were the #1 Product of the Day! I’d absolutely love for you to try their product and share feedback so they can continue making a great product!
