A lot of people have no idea they can send invoices and proposals on @contra for free. Our team has spent a ton of time making these features super easy to use + you get paid commission free. Send us a $10 invoice and we will pay it, but only for the first 500 people, so do

@rive_app solves the problem of hardcoded design. @guidorosso shares his perspective on why this is a game changer for designers. 🔥🔥🔥 Excited to launch the full interview this Friday.

6/ Investors in SV are more risk tolerant. Q's I got from NY investors were “how soon can you monetize?” vs “how big can this get?” from investors in SV. This minor detail makes a difference when framing success. No wonder founders like @domm and @yoyo_thomas choose to be here.

Thanks again @AdheebHameed for sharing this feedback 🤝 It started out with @contra dropping the ball, but we were able to fix this issue and now we are off to the races. We want @contra to be the best way to get paid as an independent. More to come!

Some very exciting updates coming. @DannPetty has always been such a visionary in the design community so this is huge for @contra .

I actually think @contra could be the next Dribbble/Behance if they incorporated a design feed of some sort with comments and community. They focused on getting us paid projects first (you should all try it) but next if they do feed + community it could be the next BIG thing.
