Skim v1.0.16 — "Are You Still There?" 👻

The one where Skim stops impersonating a corpse.

A self-update could relaunch Skim into a window with a titlebar and nothing. Restarts didn't help. Reinstalling didn't help. Then, hours later, it just came back which is somehow more unsettling than staying broken.

Turns out nothing was broken. The whole UI was waiting on the first mailbox query, that query was politely queued behind the catch-up sync, and the app had no way to say "hang on, I'm reading" so it said nothing at all. For hours. In an empty window. Cool.

We built two products for early-stage founders, crossed ~1,000 users, and launched our first ads

Over the past few months, we have been building Causo around two problems almost every early-stage founder runs into:

  1. Finding the right investors and reaching out to them properly

  2. Finding potential customers with a real reason to buy

Our fundraising product helps founders discover relevant VC funds and partners, research them, and run personalized outreach.

Our sales product finds companies that match a specific ICP, identifies why they may be a good fit right now, finds the right people, and drafts personalized outreach.
