SPILL’s Post

This time last year, SPILL first went📈 - yet another powerful proof that it’s community > everything. One of the best pieces of advice I received at the time was to, against conventional wisdom, go talk to people who were actually using SPILL on an individual basis to get feedback. While certainly daunting at first (who would care enough to talk? how do you schedule the convos? what do I wear, etc etc), I have been able to speak with over 150 members 1 on 1 in past three months alone. To hear directly about what was working, what was terrible and, most importantly, what this platform already means to a great many people was invaluable (a few clips from those convos are included in the video below). More than anything, these conversations clarified that one of SPILL ‘s most enduring value props is being a place where underserved communities can make connections with each other. I’d be lying if I said that was our original intent (we dont even have DMs yet), but hearing how many offline friendships, collabs, linkups and even a marriage started because of SPILL makes it clear that the need for the original promise of “social” is more vital than ever. We are already experimenting with more feature sets to make finding and connecting with your people even easier on SPILL (new nav, search, spades, etc). Most critically, we are getting better an incorporating user requested features into every new release. And I will continue doing those 1 on 1s (email [email protected] if you want to get down). So congrats to the SPILL community on your 1st Spilliversary - thank you for rocking with us, excited for what Season 2 will bring ☕️
