This is an awesome idea we hadn't thought of. What was the product? We'll reach out to the team!

Thanks! Linkfire is definitely an inspiration for us and our goal is to build a suite of tools for fan identification, monetization, and communication.

We hope that by building for a wide array of creators and continuing to expand the toolset we can differentiate ourselves from some of the established products.

Yep we’re not competing with multiple link tools / presaves. We’re focused on the marketing and notification side. For a creator those tools don’t help your fans actually remember your future content they only link out to the content once it’s available.

Appreciate the advice. We’re working to get to more YouTubers and Gamers for the exact reason you mentioned. If you know anyone in the space send them our way!

Thanks!

After talking to a ton of creators, we found that most of them don’t have or maintain a website so they wanted a simple solution. We’ve also built in the notification, marketing and messaging tools so that there’s very little work on the creator side.

We do have some requests for an embedable widget which is definitely on our list for upcoming features.
