The Squarespace of social media might actually become...Squarespace. đ
The company just announced that itâs acquired
Unfold, a toolkit of templates that people can use to make beautiful (really beautiful) Instagram Stories.
Unfold was founded in 2017 by Alfonso Cobo as an app originally built for designers. It took off when Cobo partnered with Andy McCune, the person behind the Instagram account
Earth (which currently has over one million followers). By 2018, the company was on track to bring in $2.6 million for the year, had 11 million users and garnered about 100,000 app downloads per day.
Some reactions from
their initial PH launch:
âWell, this social media marketer will be using it ..beautiful.â - Jayne
âWould strongly suggest it to anyone looking to âtell a storyâ on instagram, the format is all about storytellingâ - Dina
When Unfold
refreshed itâs app last year, McCune wrote on Product Hunt that the app had grown to nearly 20 million users (including people like Selena Gomez and Kim Kardashian). đ¤ł
Now, Unfold has reportedly been used to create more than 700 million Instagram stories. The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but it does seem like Squarespace has been expanding its suite of products as of late. The company recently acquired an online scheduling tool and launched
an email marketing product last year. It makes sense â landing page creation is becoming an increasingly competitive space, with
Carrd,
Wix and
Webflow as viable alternatives.
In this weekâs edition of
Product Hunt Radio, we talked to Drift co-founder and CEO Elias Torres about his journey to entrepreneurship with longtime collaborator David Cancel. He also talks about how he moved to the United States from Nicaragua and worked at McDonaldâs while simultaneously finishing high school and learning English. You donât want to miss
this story.
In this episode, Elias discusses growing revenue from zero to eight figures in under 24 months, his CTO tips on hiring, and why he spends an hour per month fielding support queries.

Crypto Made Simple with Accointingâs Portfolio Management Tool
Investing in the crypto space has become increasingly complex. With investments spread between so many different exchanges and wallets, keeping up with your own portfolio (which is important in the months outside of tax season!) can take up a ton of time.
Accointing, a portfolio management tool, shows you the development of all your tokens and investments. The platform provides you with detailed statistics and analytics for every investment as well as tax reports for each fiscal year. All of this is done by aggregating your transaction data in one place. You can directly connect your exchanges via APIs, add your wallets through public addresses, or manually upload your transaction data.
Accointing was built by crypto enthusiasts who were dissatisfied with the complexity and inflexibility of existing tools. Now, the team works hard and listens closely to users to create a platform they love to use themselves.
Accointing is available to you anywhere, via the web or our app (Android and iOS). Visit accointing.com for more information.
