I ve spent years working on B2B customer acquisition for products moving from early traction to real scale. We tested every channel, built lightweight systems for volume outreach and partnerships, ran hundreds of experiments, and eventually created repeatable processes that a small team could run without constant firefighting.

Distribution is the #1 bottleneck you ll hit. Features get copied. Messaging gets borrowed. What actually compounds is a clear system for identifying the right accounts, testing quickly, and turning early signals into consistent pipeline.

By the end of this you ll know:

- What each major acquisition channel actually buys you (and why most teams misuse them)

octoscope's Repos tab has had pinned repos for a while now a sticky section up top for the handful you actually live in. This release gives the Issues tab the same treatment.

Press P on any issue (or pick Pin from the space action menu) and it sticks to the top, in the order you pinned it, across refreshes and restarts. It composes with everything else you already do: the sort cycle (s) reorders only the rest, and the / filter narrows both sections at once. The set is saved to your config under pinned_issues, so the next launch brings them right back press P again to unpin, and a pinned issue that gets closed just stops showing.

We launched Honestly on Thursday and I wanted to again say that the support has been absolutely overwhelming. Thank you to everyone that has helped so far.
We placed #2 on Thursday and are now less than 10 upvotes away from securing the #3 spot of the week!
For anyone that wants to see David beat Goliath (aka the bootstrapped smaller startups beat the bigger companies), any support would be greatly appreciated!
