Building Jam | Ep. 6 In-Progress Designs

We’re trying something new: hitting record on an unfiltered conversation about building our startup each week. No fluff, just real decisions, moments and challenges.

What’s it like building Jam this week? We’re shipping design updates, making decisions about a new product launching soon & discovering that intuition is a form of data.

This week, Jam’s lead designer, Chris Rodemeyer, joins the podcast to discuss:

• 00:18 Sharing some design iterations to Jam's Slack app
• 5:06 Dogfooding at Jam
• 9:10 Irtefa’s very niche idea for new Jam swag: “Only 1 Network Error”
• 9:58 Future changes we’re making to Jam notifications
• 12:17 Using intuition as a form of data
• 17:34 Getting a new product in beta ready for GA: from Irtefa-led onboarding to self-serve
• 21:56 Thinking about the “why” in Jam’s onboarding
• 26:49 Team challenges of the week
