Matt and the Summit team are close to the release date for all the stuff they've been working on with public-facing Summit apps. To show how powerful the new Summit is, Pieter built a proof-of-concept no-code app in Bubble that is powered by a Summit simulation underneath (see links below for tweet).

Covid finally caught up to Peter last week, but he managed to launch Reform's ConvertKit integration before finally giving in to the disease. Him and Bjørn are working on the templates section of Reform.

Peter launched Reform Free on Product Hunt and became the number two product of the day. A result that is better than he expected! However, the launch has left him exhausted.

Matt is working through how all the latest Summit updates have impacted the positioning of the product. This obviously has a big impact on the new Summit website which is coming soon.

Peter is back from London where he went to MicroConf Local and attended the IndieBeers meet-up. Though the largest Reform customer recently churned, Peter has some optimistic news about Reform's churn. On the marketing front, Peter is working on SEO and an upcoming Product Hunt launch, while Bjørn is building a ConvertKit integration for Reform.

Matt recently shared Summit's new presentation mode on Twitter, which made Summit "click" for several people - including Peter. By remixing some of the existing elements of Summit, the preview mode will soon allow Summit users to create apps on the platform that can be consumed by other end users - and they won't even have to know what Summit is.

After getting slightly derailed by a home construction project, Matt is back in gear working on getting Summit ready for general access. Him and the Summit team has been on a shipping spree and Matt has noticed that more and more "founder-level" conversations are happening within the company without his direct involvement.

Peter is excited about May's SaaS metrics for Reform. He's heads down with marketing and thinking about Jobs-to-be-Done and features that could bring Reform further into the no-code / internal tools space.

Matt and Ryan have been working on their investor update, including their new positioning for Summit. A seemingly simple question from one of his investors got Matt thinking more about the big picture of Summit's launch and go-to-market strategy.

Things are going better for Peter. Trials are slightly up, and he's enjoying his daily routine. He and Bjørn are almost ready to release their highly requested tagging feature for Reform.

He also shares an akwkard bug that one of his Reform customers ran into. With Free out the door, he's ready to double down on marketing for the next couple of months.

Matt has had a big breakthrough with the positioning for Summit and everything is starting to click. The new positioning sets the tone for the new Summit marketing site and the product roadmap ahead. One of the big features that him and the team are working on is versioning of Summit models which ties into some of the most requested features in the product. Matt also shares how he's thinking about using integrations to position Summit in the market.

Sorry for the poor audio quality in this episode - Peter is working on a new mic setup 🙏

Peter has been listening back to old Out of Beta episodes, to hear his original thoughts around launching Reform. Check the links below to find those episodes. Peter and the family finally made it to Oslo and are back again after a great trip. He's now gearing up to announce Reform's new Free product this Thursday. Finally, he's got some thoughts on a friend's SaaS pricing that he wanted to shared with Matt and the listeners.
