Oooo nice! Thanks for the link.

Currently, we pay for a single Slack user (me), but each person who works on Cushion-related things are single-channel guests. I work with one other full-time dev, so he's in the #dev channel. I work with an editor in the #content channel. Growth guy in the #growth channel, etc. It's actually refreshing not having everyone in one channel—a lot less sifting.

Crap—I'm one of those people who didn't scroll. :( I hate when that happens. My b.
Thanks for the info!

We would, but unfortunately, we need their "old" SSL add-on to get SSL to work with the root URL of our invoice url, in.vc. Apparently, the new SSL doesn’t work the same.

I haven't, but I'll check it out. Seems like it's still beta? (says not to use in production)

Fortunately, I was able to find a really great lawyer who is actually affordable (previously interviewed a few law firms who were $700+/hr). Besides incorporating, legal costs haven't been too high. Just the occasional contract here or there, or updating our terms.

Spot on. It's also tougher with individual users where $10-$15/mo is the norm. B2B services have it good.

The name is Cushion.

Oh, okay—I browsed the website and couldn't find anything about a paid tier.

Cushion is a tool for freelancers to manage their schedule, forecast their income, and track invoices. Time tracking is also dropping soon.

Hi! Great question. I love static websites, but we hit a point where we were updating the site constantly and needed dynamic content, like the running costs (which pulls its data from a google spreadsheet). There are certainly ways to do this with a static site, but with the size of the site and frequency that we update it, I really wanted to be able to hit save and it was live, rather than wait for everything to compile and publish. I still use Siteleaf for all of my other websites, but cushionapp.com is a different beast.
Also, lol at "marketing team". I am marketing team. :)

Looks nice, but I'd never not pay for a service because you're paying somehow, or the service won't be around for long.

I noticed them a while back, but I'm happy with Intercom. They're good people.
