The problem is simple: You have people who want to help, but the last thing you have is the time or energy to coordinate that assistance. Enter The Village. The Village is now available to Sendet Pro subscribers. Eventually, it will be available to all accounts as a one-time purchase, but during the beta period, it will remain exclusive to Pro pages. Think of it as a digital help-wanted board. Page authors can post anything they need help with, and their readers can volunteer to lend a hand. The three most urgent needs will appear alongside your posts, giving loved ones a practical way to support you. Need someone to watch your kids? Ask your village. Need dinner one night? Ask your village. Need a hand with something unexpected? Ask your village. During a crisis, loved ones often want to help but don’t know how. The Village takes the guesswork out of offering support, giving people a way to show up for you in exactly the ways you need. During the beta period, you’ll see a “Send Feedback” button. Please use it! Whether you’ve encountered an issue or have an idea to make The Village better, I’d love to hear from you. Like all our tools, The Village is privacy-first and entirely opt-in. You decide who can participate. You can open your village to anyone with your page password or personally select members from your existing list of readers. My hope is that The Village makes it a little easier to accept help when you need it most. Whatever life has thrown your way, I hope this is a blessing to you and the people walking alongside you.

I never wanted to be the guy who built an app about hospitals and NICU stays. In the summer of 2023, my wife and I spent 253 days in the NICU with our daughter. She was born early — the result of placental insufficiency at 27 weeks and 1 day. We had fought so hard just to get her here. And then she was here, and she was small, and she was fighting, and we were terrified. One issue we didn't expect, everyone else caring about our situation. Not because people weren't kind. They were overwhelming in their kindness. But every call or text meant telling the story again. Every contact meant finding words we didn't have. We were in survival mode. We were sleeping in shifts and living on hospital cafeteria food and trying to hold each other together, and somewhere in between all of that we were supposed to keep the people who loved us informed. We had a blog. It helped. We directed everyone over there. But it was clunky, and it required more than we had to give some days, and the people reading it had to remember to check it. Until I figured out how to turn on email subscriptions at least! In a world where I had almost no time extra, dealing with tech issues really was the last thing I wanted to do. I'm a data and analytics guy by trade. I fix broken systems for a living. And I remember one night after we left the NICU and I had a moment to breath, I realized I can't be in need of this service. When it comes to moments of crisis, the people who need to communicate the most are the people with the least capacity to do it. So I built something. Sendet is a private update page for moments like that one. You create a page, share a link, post when you can. The people who love you get notified. No accounts. No algorithms. No one asking how you're doing in your DMs at midnight. You've got more important things to do. Just sendet, and get back to more important things. I'm going to use this page to share the journey of building it, the technical stuff, the business stuff, my other Little Warrior labs projects and honestly the personal stuff too. Because you can't really separate them. This product exists because of a little girl who is currently, as I write this, asleep upstairs. That's the whole reason, her.
