When it comes to design founder stories, Raphael Schaad’s is one of the best. So this episode is the first-ever telling of how Raphael designed and built Cron (which became Notion Calendar). We talk about:

Sketching on paper vs. sketching in code
Why shipping quality software is like camping
How Raphael identified the MVP of the problem
What it was like building Cron in YC during COVID
Why you should design dialogues as first-class citizens
Why Raphael didn’t invest much in the Cron landing page
The differences between a design toolkit and a design system
a lot more lessons from a successful first-time design founder
