WTF is Hey Rebekah?

Wow, can't believe this is our very first message. It's been a long time coming and we're pumped. To be honest, it's been quite a ride getting here.

From googling hip Gen Z slang to working with Rebekah's kids to understand Millennial speak (OMG, Yahoo's still around), what a blast.

It's been an awakening, pun intended. Now we're here, so let's jump right in.

Good question and a long story. We've been drumming up these plans for a little over 2 years now and they've evolved after several iterations. 9 website builds, 3 apps, +1,700 pages of content, +5,200 hours of collaboration, +22,000 miles of travel to be exact, and an infinite supply of Tums.

Ultimately, we realized that to make the most impact and achieve our mission, our stuff needs to be free. We'll figure out monetization later. At least, that's the assumption.

And here we are...

Hey Rebekah is the convergence of 1000's of questions from Rebekah's community and as much procrastination as we could get away with.

Hey Rebekah is a free daily newsletter. It's like Morning Brew for the self-employed. Those are some pretty big shoes to fill so we take this responsibility seriously.

We imagine a world where all self-employed professionals have equitable access to best-practices, knowledge, and tools to build thriving careers, make more money, and find their joy.

Our mission is to upskill the global workforce.

Unless you've been completely ignoring the last 17 tech news cycles, you've already heard about GPT-3, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and maybe even ChatGPT. They're all versions of artificial intelligence models, trained to generate outputs based on user input. In other words, they're AI based generators.

At the forefront, is OpenAI, an AI research and deployment company supported by people like Elon Musk and run by Sam Altman of former Y Combinator glory.

While all of the implications are unclear, one thing we know for sure. The possibilities are endless. The image above was generated using StabilityAI's 2.1 release. Pretty cool right?

Despite all the doom and gloom, we think of these generative tools as just that, tools. New ways to improve productivity and performance. It will make creative people more creative, technical people more technical, and lame people more lame.For instance, Ambreen and Rebekah have no idea that they've been messaging ChatGPT for weeks now on Slack. A true testament to the productivity gains possible with AI.

FlutterFlow finally released its Supabase integration. FlutterFlow is like Webflow for mobile apps. Anyone with basic UX design chops can whip up a pretty slick mobile app for both iOS and Android in a few hours.

Earlier this year, we spit out two robust mobile apps for personal use on a Saturday. Yeah, no kidding! One to privately share updates and family photos amongst our team and another to keep track of spousal demands. We'll be diving in much deeper into both examples soon.

With Supabase, the sky's the limit. Flutter made things better, Firebase easier. FlutterFlow and Supabase give you magical supaflow-ers to build your next client project or MVP in a fraction of the time with enterprise-grade code, security, and extensibility.
