Thanks Ben for hunting us! Hey PH community, we are so excited to launch Jam Wand - point, click, and change your website - starting with changing website copy. Jam Wand is the tool Irtefa and I wished we had when we were product managers at Cloudflare. We used to spend too much engineering time changing copy. We felt bad asking engineers for yet another copy change, and engineers felt bad because checking out yet another copy-fixes branch is time consuming and boring. It was a lose-lose. We wished changing copy on a website was as easy as changing copy in a Google Doc. That was the goal for building Jam Wand. With Jam Wand, any non-technical member of the team - without dealing with code or git - can make copy changes to their live website. It opens up pull requests to the codebase, so all engineers have to do is review and merge, and the copy change is live. We think collaborative teams where everyone can contribute what they do best -- where customer support can update in-product help text, marketing can update landing page copy, dev rel can update developer docs, sales can update CTA text, and so on, leads to better products - which makes teams happy, users happy, it is a win-win. Can't wait to hear what you all think.

Looks fantastic! Always thought this should exist, and was going to take a crack at it myself but no need -- this looks absolutely amazing. Well done, and excited to see the success as you launch and to give it a try!

This is super slick. I love the idea of editing copy where it actually lives and having it end up in GitHub. That makes it easy to drop in to my existing workflow and get developer buy in. Plus, I know our whole team would be excited to eliminate all those product requests to change a few words!
Dani Grant
Thanks so much @swiftalphaone !! That makes me so excited and happy to hear 😄

Dani Grant
Thanks so much, @alexandra_m_co_e! As a non-techie, I am definitely happy to be able to self-serve copy changes. I always feel terrible for asking for yet another copy fix!
