Earlier this year, @adamkornfield sent me this email:
4 months later, @adamkornfield and @joeycofone stopped by our office to show us the notebook and snap a few pics. I've been using mine for a while now. The quality's fantastic.
Fun fact #1: It just happened to be sweatpants Thursday at Product Hunt HQ… hashtag super professional.
Fun fact #2: with exception to our Teespring shirts, this is the first Product Hunt branded physical thing. Radical.
So proud of the Baron Fig team. If you want to know what consistently superb product design and material quality look like, look no further. Adam & Joey are on a mission no Moleskine could ever understand.
@james_mazza22@joeycofone hey guys these notebooks look great! One pain point of mine I don't see addressed on your website is the thickness / opacity of the pages. When the pages are too thin it lets the writing show through from the opposite side, making your current page harder to read.
I've found the pages of Leuchtturm notebooks to be too thin...moleskine is a bit better but leaves something to be desired. Can you comment on your page weight in comparison?
@msaint Great question! The pages are 100gsm acid free paper. Just the right thickness that most pens and some ink/nib combos won't bleed or show through!
Make sure to buy with bitcoin :) Team at Baron Fig has been some of the earliest supporters of merchant adoption for bitcoin, even going so far as to push Squarespace and Shopify to accept bitcoin. Amazing team and speed of product advancements at Baron. I've also used the notebooks since the designer at Robinhood introduced me to them. Haven't bought another notebook since!
@realsimonburns Thanks Simon! We are big proponents of bitcoin here at Baron Fig. Want to do our little bit to make the ecosystem grow. Appreciate the good words and glad you're liking the notebooks!!
@phimema I'd love to ship to Germany for free! Right now international shipping (non-US) is a bit extra, but not by much. We're constantly working to improve shipping prices. Hope that helps.
Got my Maker book too today!😍😍😍 Just in time for Thanksgiving😂 but I'm still wish I can get more of PH stickers since I ordered set of 3!!! Hope next time I can get more PH stickers 😅
We're really excited to get this book out there! Was a blast designing the book along with @ryanhoover
Photo shoot was incredible, Ryan came dressed in sweats ready to rock it. My desk is full of PH stickers, the PodCat is the best!
Super psyched to finally put this into the world. This is an East Coast + West Coast *and* Analog + Digital collaboration. Glad we got to make it happen, hope everyone digs it.
Fun fact #3: This is Baron Fig's first startup-to-startup collaboration.
Fun fact #4: My co-founder Adam, formerly finance, taught himself how to do photography from scratch and took all the photos. :D
Edit: PS. First 50 orders get 5 Product Hunt stickers. Giving PH first dibs at them—our BF media doesn't go out until 11a EST. ;)
