What we shipped after simplifying DROP: paid digital product pages

Earlier, I shared why we removed most of DROP. The next step is now live: DROP is focused on helping creators sell digital files from one buyer-ready page.

The current flow brings together:

  • paid digital product pages;

  • checkout and secure file delivery;

  • search-ready launch pages;

  • revenue tracking.

We are measuring the full acquisition path rather than pageviews alone: external visit product view checkout purchase.

💌 Your BI tool should make the first move

Shipped a lot at Basedash this week.

The big one: Suggestions. Basedash now studies your data, your past chats, and your dashboards, then suggests the questions, dashboards, and automations worth doing next. Click one and it starts working. No more blank page.

Don't force your users to make the first move

Every AI product I've used starts the same way: an empty chat box and a blinking cursor. The tool has all the capability in the world, but it sits there waiting for me to figure out what to ask.

That's a design failure we've all just accepted. The blank page problem killed writing apps for years, and now we've rebuilt it into every AI interface.
