I hope you are doing well!

I'm back with another update on Magic Pages and wanted to share some exciting news with you. As a reminder, you are getting these emails, because you bought a lifetime deal in my pre-sale – and I want to keep you updated on what's happening :)


Firstly, I want to start with a big thank you. All 15 lifetime deals have sold out! Your support means the world to me and I am thrilled to see so many people believe in the idea of Magic Pages.

So, what have I been up to since the last update?

Well, I'm happy to report that the first infrastructure challenge has been overcome. Semi-automatic deployment of individual Magic Pages (websites) is now working! Basically it means that I could press a button and put a Ghost instance (what powers Magic Pages) live into the internet for you.

This is a significant milestone and brings us one step closer to launch. However, there are still a few things that need to be ironed out before I can put this live for you.

In addition to the infrastructure update, I've been hard at work on the first theme, Kyiv. It's almost complete, and I'm currently looking for feedback on Twitter. If you have a moment, I'd love for you to check it out and let me know what you think.

Speaking of feedback, I want to remind you that as one of the first customers, your input is invaluable to me. Please don't hesitate to reach out to share your thoughts and ideas. It's essential to me that Magic Pages caters to your needs.

Looking ahead, I have some exciting goals for the next week. I'll be finishing up the Kyiv theme, implementing the email sending functionality into Magic Pages, and developing one more theme.

Once again, thank you for your continued support. It's been super fun getting to interact with those of you who have reached out, and I look forward to hearing from more of you soon. If we haven't connected yet and you'd like to say hi, my email inbox and Twitter DMs are always open 👋​

Cheers,
Jannis
