I need remote part/full time folks to help with the following:

Marketing / Growth
Write blog posts, email sequences, landing pages, ads, videos, etc. Must be comfortable with Markdown and HTML/CSS.

============
Support & QA
Test the application, respond to customer requests, help triage GitHub. Write automated tests. Opportunities to do other stuff like coding / marketing if interested.
Goal: Help our releases be rock-solid.
