Did you know that to create an API key on beehiiv, you have to provide a photo ID? 🙄
Screenshot of a verification prompt from beehiiv, powered by Stripe. The text reads: "beehiiv works with Stripe to verify your identity You'll take a photo of a valid photo ID, then take a selfie to make sure it’s yours. beehiiv will only have access to this verification data. Stripe uses biometric technology on your images to make sure it’s you. You can delete your data at any time." At the bottom, there are two buttons: "Agree and continue" in blue and "Decline" in white. Links to "beehiiv Privacy Policy" and "Stripe Privacy Policy" are also provided, along with a language selector: "English (United States)."

Dbrand did their Ghost 1.0 customers a solid with this one.
A white card on a dark fabric background with the following text: Nearly a year ago, we launched the Ghost Case. It was the most successful failure we ever put into the world. Our goal was to overcome the #1 issue with clear cases: they all turn yellow. The #2 issue with clear cases? The fact that they scratch really, really easily. Being unwilling to compromise on the zero-yellowing guarantee meant that we had to skip over industry-standard anti-scratch coatings (which also turn yellow over time). Once the Ghost was launched, two things happened: 1. The zero-yellowing guarantee brought us way more customers than we ever could have imagined. 2. Many of those customers made it very clear that we’d missed the mark on scratch resistance. For the past year, we’ve been preoccupied with a new goal: developing an innovative anti-scratch solution that would maintain our zero-yellowing guarantee. Engineering this solution was not quick or easy. To say you’ve been remarkably patient during this process would be an understatement. We genuinely appreciate it. Inside this package, you’ll find a brand new Ghost Case. Because this Ghost 2.0 was reimagined from the ground up, we made sure to incorporate over a dozen quality improvements to all aspects of the product, informed by your Ghost 1.0 feedback. Between the more durable construction, reinforced sidewalls, improved button tactility, stronger magnets, more robust camera protection, and enhanced impact resistance, we’re confident that we’ve delivered on the ultimate promise of “the next-gen clear case.” So confident, in fact... The reverse of the card from the previous image, positioned on the same dark fabric background with the following text: …that we think your friend with a yellowed, $10 Amazon clear case would like a Ghost as well. Hand them this card. The QR code will take 10% off their Ghost order. QR code link: https://db.io/ghost-friend Ghost 2.0 phone case, a transparent phone case with black edges, placed on a dark fabric background. A black circular MagSafe-compatible design is printed on the back, and there is a rectangular cutout for the phone’s camera at the top.

What if Charity Shouldn’t Be Optimized? (Gift Article)
The recent trend in philanthropy has been to look for the most bang for your buck. Maybe you don’t have to.

It's never been about the lack of technical/logical solutions. It's always been about solving the human coordination problem.
