Out of Sequence Update
Not Sunday. Yet here we go.
I used Obsidian to craft the content of this newsletter. Powering the jump from an Obsidian note to a Buttondown draft email was accomplished via obsidian-buttondown.
There are a few benefits to this workflow.
- I can stay in markdown.
- I can update my ideas from any device I have handy that Iβve installed Obsidian on already.
- I can sync to GitHub as needed or to Buttondown.
- I can then decide on Netlify (web) first or Buttondown (email) first.
Thatβs my Wednesday evening excitement.
Hereβs some good reading until Sunday:

A quick message from Lida:
With 18 years building, marketing, and scaling products at startups, I work with founders and leaders stuck between where they are and where they need to be. I help you cut through the noise, make sharper decisions, and get your team executing with clarity instead of chaos.
Most founders mistake complexity for strategy. They keep adding when they should be subtracting. When I'm brought in, the team is usually doing a lot right, and the real issue is focus and direction. I diagnose what's actually going wrong across product, positioning, and execution, then reset direction and get everyone aligned around one clear path forward that will lead to growth.
A bit of what I've done: I was the first PM on a fintech product that hit 10,000+ users within months, built a national incubator that supported over $500M in startup funding, and led teams at 23 Design before it was acquired by frog (the design team behind Appleβs first products). I've spoken at Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, etc.
