How do you connect a bubble application to AppSumo's infrastructure of. Okay, make sure that you have codes being sent out to customers upon purchase. How do you do that sort of thing with bubble? And it's doable. It is. It is. That was part of the learning process that we went through. And if you need help, please reach out to us. Don't spend 20 hours trying to figure it out, because we've done it before and we can help you out, obviously. Yeah. Now, here's how the actual listing process functions and what we went through. Okay. So the first thing that we did is I was in charge of reaching out to AppSumo and letting them know that, hey, we have this really cool application that I think we can offer as a lifetime deal for some users to try to, you know, help us out, get the apps started and try to get some funding. And of course, the first reaction from one of their sales reps was, no, if it's built with bubble, we just don't want to list it. And I, you know, communicated that to. To the boss here, and he. He had a bit of a. Well, how'd you feel? You know, I felt like they were sending me to the back of the bus. And. And it just didn't send it didn't it? And, okay, so it was clickbaity, the subject line. No, but so what? I don't, you know, it was a little bit. No, I may have used a word like racist in there. You're already talking about the subject line. But what happened is Dennis, trying to deal with that frustration that he was going through at the moment, decided to just reach out to Noah K. And Vi Email. Which, by the way, that was exactly right after we had purchased his Million Dollar Weekend book, which is a fantastic book. Yeah, we loved it. And we implement a lot of the principles that Noah talks about in his book pretty much on every app that we build and every business, a lot of the business decisions that we make.
