bellcurve.baby
HELLO VILLAGE!
I’ve been on the edge of my seat waiting to share this with the world.
Keegan and I beta-launched a product that we built together!
Real talk, I don’t know how to write product marketing copy.
I also have no intention to make this thing go viral or for it to make us rich (but, I mean, I guess I’ll leave that possibility open??)
So here’s my authentic excitement in chaotic stream-of-consciousness form.
TIA for reading on. You a real homie.
What the heck is this bellcuve.baby?
It’s a baby registry replacement.
A silly web game where you donate to guess our baby’s birth date + weight (with probability-based guess prices).
Win fun prizes that pimp out our future kid.
We don’t feel bad cuz he’s currently a parasite sucking all my nutrients and energy, and will soon be a parasite that slurps up all our money + free time. And WE ARE STOKED, WE LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!
I did the product design, price modeling, and copywriting. Keegan did all the backend development.
Can you tell our love language is spending time in a shared Github repo and Figma canvas 🥰🥰🥰?
We even filmed a 2 min skit to explain it.
It’s our acting debut, be nice.
The story
Keegan and I have never been “standard path” people.
We took big risks in our careers and swam upstream to explore, prototype, fail, and keep exploring.
We didn’t have a wedding. I wore a $20 Goodwill dress and we signed papers in a civil ceremony, officiated by a purple-haired volunteer commissioner.
Despite being avid ultradistance runners, we don’t really give a shit about what shoes or gear we wear. (Though we care deeply about the community surrounding the sport).
And when we had the great fortune of starting our family, a traditional baby registry didn’t feel like “us”. We wanted it to be more community-driven and nerdy.
And we wanted a chance to give back in a silly way, once baby arrives.
Explore the product and share your thoughts?
The ability for anyone to create a baby pool is coming.
We think our user base will be data nerds and sports betting fans (...and hyper-practical folks). Isn’t that cute?
Zero expectation for you to chip in, but if you do choose to support us in that way, I promise the prizes are good.
You can pretty easily find the link to Finn’s pool if you click around 😉
