Hi Lars :) could I get on the list?

That's really interesting! How many of your users would you say use your own Auth? I went the complete other way and only added Google oauth. Wondering if I'm missing out.

First snow of the winter this week! ❄️

Not entirely sure how to go about UGC while still growing the user base. What are you thinking?

Hey 👋 emberist.com

Emberist

Spent some time updating Emberist.com 's landing page and going to try paid ads over the weekend. Any tips from paid ads pros?

🔥 Just spent the last few days improving the clarity of Emberist's landing page messaging.

What are your thoughts about what we do?

Just gave Windsurf a try because of your post... It's nice and cool that it's only $10/month, but I feel cursor is still better for the moment.

You won't see it on the pricing page, go to settings (assuming you're subscribed).

Ah my bad, it used to be that you pay 20 for 500 more as a one time, now it's per month. However, they do have usage based pricing for the big models.

They only show you that once you go into your usage page.

I think that's per month and you can pay a one time $20 for 500 more fast requests as the usage based pricing part

I believe you can pay for extra fast premium completions

I think Cursor does.

Before and After of the Emberist Goals feature UI.

I ran into a similar issue while I was designing the UI for Emberist's new goal feature and thought I'd share. Top is what I had initially until I realised that I could remove several redundant elements to make it less busy for the user while directing their attention to the goals directly.

Emberist's goal setting feature let's users attach goals toeach of their accounts.

🚀 Just putting the finishing touches on Emberist's newest feature - Account Goals!

Been working hard to help users track your financial targets. Whether you're saving for a house or building that emergency fund, we've got you covered.

Appreciate you having a look! Have a couple of features i'm closing off now and will turn my attention to reworking the landing page messaging.

Nice! What kind of budget did you put down for the ads?

This makes it difficult to go from a state of no-audience to some relevant audience that might actually be interested in the product. I guess this is what makes paid ads appealing - to go from 0 to 1.

Thanks, that's helpful! What I find difficult is finding my audience in a place where it's ok for me to share, discuss and promote my solution. e.g. For Emberist, I want to help people take control of their finances. Subreddits tend to be anti-promo of any kind. Facebook groups are full of scams.

It's how you organise elements in your design according to direct the user's attention. E.g. It would be wise to have your value proposition as the first thing that users see when they land on your page. How do you make it the first thing?Position it in the middle of their view and make it large.

Do you have a rough outline of how you tackle organic? It's difficult to know where to invest the time.
