Next week is Fillout’s first ever Launch Week. We’ve been building up to this point for several months and our team is very excited to finally share it with you all.
What’s a launch week?
Every day next week, we’ll be announcing a major new capability in Fillout. These will range from features that unlock entirely new use cases to overhauls of core parts of the product.
The idea of a launch week was popularized by developer-tools startups like Supabase and Railway. The Supabase CTO wrote a great article about the what and why behind the idea here.
We’re keeping a high bar for what counts as a launch week capability vs. a normal feature update. If you use Fillout, I can almost guarantee that at least 3 of these will have an immediate impact. If that’s not the case, the launch week is a flop!
What to expect
We don't want to spoil the surprise, but here’s a teaser of what to expect. Come back here each day to see what we launch, or follow us on Twitter or LinkedIn to keep up to date.
