Hey there, Sumo-ling!

Some interesting things happened last month.

Like, a traffic jam in the Suez Canal, rumors about Nintendo removing Mario games, and Justin Bieber releasing a new album. (All right, the last one isn't that interesting.)

Now, take a few minutes to see what we and our partners were up to in March.

Put 'em to the test

Do you love software? Have you ever wanted to get your hands on our products before anyone else? If you answered yes to those questions, boy, do we have a program for you. Our Beta-ling program is comprised of passionate tool-testers who help us vet products before they launch on our site. (Think: Santa's workshop, but with software. And no weird costumes.) If you'd like to become a Beta-ling, you can apply here.

Tidy senses

In January, we set an ambitious goal of launching a product by the end of the month. We had 20 working days to nail down a product idea, strategy, and approach. The end result was TidyCal, a calendar solution that makes it easier to schedule meetings. Now, see how TidyCal went from concept to $30K product in 20 days.

From Concept to $30k Product in 20 Days: Launching TidyCal

Justin, Business Development Manager

If you could instantly become an expert in something, what would it be? Cooking—especially a fusion of Korean and Mexican cuisines.

When you were younger, what did you wish you could become famous for? Back in the day, I wanted to be a singer!

Links we're lovin'

Decision fatigue is real, and that’s why Untools is so cool—it compiles a collection of problem-solving and decision-making tools to help you approach your challenges from a new point of view. (Now you don't have to switch bodies with someone else Freaky Friday-style.)

Can't seem to remember where you left your crystal ball? Not to worry—The Future Today Institute's 14th Annual Tech Trends Report analyzed nearly 500 tech and science trends so that your strategic plans for the future can be informed, and your business can thrive in an ever-changing world.

Okay, look, stealing is bad, but just this once we’re going to... encourage it. In his article, 12 Things I Stole From People More Successful Than Me, Vincent Carlos shares what he’s learned from icons like Ben Franklin and Kobe Bryant.

If you feel like you’re completely Zoom-ed out and would rather scrub your toilet than hop on another call, you can blame science for that. Researchers at Stanford have been studying the very real phenomenon called “Zoom fatigue” and are giving some solutions to combat it.

Speaking of Zoom fatigue, make sure your mental breaks during the day are genuinely fun and restorative. We like Jazz Keys, the perfect way to get creative and live your Herbie Hancock fantasy. Just promise to invite us to your first performance at Blue Note, okay?

If there’s one thing we’ve all learned this year (besides how to bake sourdough, of course), it’s that the upside to a crisis is increased innovation. These are the 10 most innovative retail companies of 2021, according to Fast Company.

And that's a wrap! See y'all next time.

❤️ and 🌮,
The AppSumo Team
