I know this is a long shot but I’m gonna try asking anyway because it has been eating away at me.
I remember seeing a website with the same concept as what the OP has done but with gorillas. It was during the early HTML5 and web socket days and I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
I tried googling for it but nothing came up. Appreciate if anyone can give me a lead.
Plenty of comments calling out the design as "worse".
Bottomline: "But despite all the missteps and stress, the results might justify all the pain. I expected the new website to increase sales by 10-20%, but it’s been closer to 40%."
Any chance we get to see that book? I constantly trying to improve my company process (we are small, < 10 people) and I like to see how others are handling operation.
- Give more line-height between each bullet point.

I was literally in a rut a few days ago. Super lethargic. Didn't want to reply to email, didn't want to make plans for the business...
Then I started surfing amazon books because, you know, anything to procrastinate working.
I came across one of Tim grover's book (Michael Jordan' trainer) and I downloaded the sample to read.
It's a little OOT but something he said rang a bell. He talk about humans overthinking especially in tough situation and gave a pep talk on being relentless. My takeway was "don't think, just do". Suppress the negative voice and just work on it. Nothing is easy. If you want something bad enough, don't think. Just do it.
I think it triggers my inner motivation on why I started my business and being hyper aware of the negative self talk.
So I put myself in robot mode and just started doing things.
I'm not sure how this is healthy for my mental health but it worked.
Nothing to do with the IDE but I just want to point out that the homepage design is sick. The 3D space in the background did not affect the scroll performance and it adds a really good vibe without affecting the UX. Love it!
Read this book called Profit First by mike michalowicz. This saved me so much time from agonizing on what to do with my money every month.
Since you are based in US, the advice there will fit you better. I'm based in Singapore so advice like taking yearly dividend from the company is not feasible for me.
I think Sahil brought up a great point with talent hiring in a competitive space (tech) that I found to be repeatedly true - flexibility. Autonomy is a helluva drug.
Now that I already have a Step 1 business that I'm surviving on. I'm looking to move up to Step 2 or 3.
I have been reading up a lot on customer acquisition especially from 0 - 100 and also tweeting abt it (https://twitter.com/p0larboy). If anyone has a good resource on this, please let me know.
