  1. The Long Way HereI build technology companies, work with startups, run and ride bikes, fix old houses, and start more side projects than I need.
  2. Help Needed a HomeThe Goodword help center needed its own address, even though Intercom still hosted the support articles behind it.
  3. Onboarding, AgainGoodword's revised application went live with a new onboarding path that began after the paywall.
  4. Who Am I Missing?The inbox knew people the address book had forgotten, so we tested whether two-way conversations could find the gaps.
  5. IRL ModeThe meetup was over, so the follow-up shared the recording and gave everybody a reason to try Goodword's IRL Mode.
  6. Android, FinallyGoodword finally reached Google Play, giving the Android application a public store listing and download path.
  7. Please List Our MCPGoodword's Claude connection was working. Getting it into the MCP directory meant another submission and review queue.
  8. Your Network, On StageAn April 30 Betaworks event listing put Goodword into a public discussion about networks and startup distribution.
  9. Too Many ToolsA new teammate needed the honest tour of every service Goodword used across product, marketing, and operations.
  10. Claude Found the Right PersonA relationship question inside Claude became a live test of whether Goodword's MCP connection could find the right person.
  11. Meetings Need a DebriefAn AI meeting notetaker could capture the call. Goodword still needed to turn that record into a useful debrief.
  12. Where's the Login?Goodword's public homepage had no obvious way back into the product, even for people who already had accounts.
