(And featuring pollkit.co today!)

PollKit Polls and surveys in any email.

I've been working on this little app for the past month or so.

It's finally ready for launch!

Announcing PollKit, a simple tool for adding polls into *any* email.

Great for collecting feedback or information from your subscribers, or simply asking friends' opinions!

Check it out: pollkit.co

I’ll check it out, thanks!

Definitely is!

Saturdays are for coffee and book shops

Don’t have them local to device. They should be available wherever you log in

I've been busy in recent weeks building out the basics of my poll-in-email product, PollKit.

Here are some screenshots!

Opening this up to everyone v soon.

pollkit.co

My first ever poll with pollkit.co!

Super easy to get feedback or votes from your email recipients.

Will be working more on this! Excited

PollKit Polls and surveys in any email.

The first ever poll from my new little app, PollKit, was sent out!

The second will go out tonight in an email update to the PollKit waitlist.

If you want to catch it, and see what I’m building, you can sign up at pollkit.co

😇

I’ve been doing similar for Django-sent transactional emails. So nice to be able to view them with placeholders or even real data before they get sent out!

I wish my Kindle had a big Push for Audio button too

PollKit Polls and surveys in any email.

I’ve been working on a new little creator tool: add a poll to any email.

Platforms like Kit and Beehiiv have native poll features, but on expensive plans (eg $39/m).

What if anyone could create polls, on any email platform (including Gmail and Apple Mail)?

Launching soon: pollkit.co

Yeh my normal rate is similar. I don’t expect weekly calls for a whole year but obviously I need to be ready for that case 😄
Would be interested to see where you land if you create a similar offer!

Talked with @dvassallo.com who I got inspiration from. Demand isn't one call per week per customer, and I'm flexible enough to add more call hours if demand gets crazy high. But I like talking Ghost and helping people so more calls isn't a bad thing :)

Officially launching my new Ghost support today!

One-on-one support over Zoom for Ghost sites of any size.

$999 = a year of calls

I can help with anything: themes, memberships, strategy, hosting, integrations, etc.

First five customers get $100 off with "JAN100".

In my experience it’s not worth your time building tools for the Ghost ecosystem

First blog post of 2025 is up!

danrowden.com/blog/how-i-h...

I didn't write a single blog post in 2024. I probably should have. I did a lot of learning and definitely had some opportunities to share what I was working on.

Expecting to write a lot more than zero words in 2025!

Big if true

I think I’m addicted to making software.

I do it all day for a living.

Also some evenings each week.

When I have a break from work, most of my thoughts are about making software.

When I have down time, my body’s first itch is to sit at a computer and build.

Could be worse I guess

😆

Damn. Time off work for Christmas means I'm 🤏 this close to starting up a new SaaS project

Thanks! Using Ghost's in-built Header block; might need some custom CSS on larger screens 👍

Dan Rowden – Ghost Expert Personal Ghost support and consultation from Dan Rowden, a Certified Ghost Expert.

Going to try and re-focus side project energy on consulting/freelance in 2025.

Easier revenue compared to SaaS and might even work fewer hours!

My first offering: danrowden.com/ghost-expert/

AirPods 4 sound is a lot different from my 2nd gen ones 👌

Also upgraded my watch to Series 10 from original SE. Love the larger screen but overall not much different. For a lot more money! SE probably OK for most people
