This week, like last week, I focused on product dev for ZmURL. During the whole week, I think I left the house only twice — once for a run up Twin Peaks and the other, today, for a short walk.
ZmURL Paid Events — They Happened!
Last week we launched the beta for paid events. This Friday we had our first paid event, a qigong class, and today someone threw a paid group fitness class. Both events went well and will be happening again this week.
Login With Zoom
I’ve been working on integrating Zoom and they approved ZmURL for the Zoom marketplace this week! So as of today, you can log into ZmURL with your Zoom account and we will automatically attach Zoom meetings to your ZmURL events.
With this change, we are working to make ZmURL the default place you go to create a Zoom meeting.
This week we’re going to polish this up (user home page, see all events in one place, etc) and “launch” this feature.
Improved Image Picker
We improved the image selector for events so you can now choose from the large gallery of beautiful images on Unsplash. I made a demo video of this feature.
Goals for the Week
Launch Zoom Integration + Paid Events — Product Hunt, press, etc
Features — custom registration questions, messaging from host to attendees
Work with designer to improve home page
Personal Life
I got my first haircut in lockdown courtesy of my roommate. It was her first haircut but it turned out pretty well! Unfortunately my facial hair still refuses to grow-in in an orderly fashion.
I also wrote a blog post about how I write this update every week. I’m going to share it on the socials this week.
