@stephanie_bruce @nastia_osche @jornvandijk @jurrehoutkamp @frantzlight @fonsmans Congrats on the launch! How do you guys go about scouting good designers/work? Behance/dribbble? Indibidual portfolios? Something else? Either way your website looks really nice!

Off-Grid began as a simple idea: crafting an inspiring newsletter. Now, after months of putting our trust in the process, we've taken it to incredible new heights. I've genuinely enjoyed every step of this journey, and my excitement is off the charts for what's next 🚀 - because, in reality, we're only just getting started!

Hey, the Off-Grid team, you got my upvote! Quick question: are there any makers from the email design sphere sharing their stories on Off-Grid?
Fons Mans
@darya_antonyuk Not yet, let us know who you have in mind!

I thrive on stories like this, and I find myself telling a lot of stories. What are the kinds of entries you expect to see? I had a look at your Typeform, and I see it asks which agency I'm from. Can individuals share stories? also, I believe you can improve by having a system like Reforge Artificats where the team works with the submitter to redact sensitive data. Also, do you truly believe pricing on day 1 when the library is small is a good idea?
Fons Mans
@viks_rum Hey Vikram, thanks for the feedback! Individuals can absolutely share stories, we'll update the copy to make this more clear. On the pricing, essentially all of our content is for free, except for additional content and resources like live q&a's, deals and community functionality.
Fons Mans
@viks_rum I see, thanks for clarifying! Even though we just launched, we already have a direct audience of over 20k designers and creatives!. So getting your work featured on Off-Grid means guaranteed exposure. Besides that, there's also the option to submit work for free, and join the approval waitlist.

Big congrats on the launch, @fonsmans 🚀! Just wanted to share some quick impressions: 1. Really digging the magazine-style layout for the articles. 2. The "If this project had a soundtrack, which one would it be?" section is such a creative touch! 3. Kudos on rolling out paid plans from the get-go.👏 Looking forward to getting my first newsletter! Best of luck with the venture.
