What are some must-try dishes from these communities? It could be street food or even home-made dishes, etc. There's no preferences.

Coming up with an idea for marketing is challenging for many founders and business owners and even after having the idea, it just the tip of the iceberg because now you have to turn that idea into a LinkedIn post, Instagram caption, carousel, ad copy, email, etc.

This ist not only time consuming but expensive and inefficient.

So we built simplecx, an AI marketing workspace that turns one idea into a multi-channel campaign.

We're opening our next beta cohort and I'm looking for founders, marketers, creators and small-business owners who are willing to actually use it and tell us what's broken.

If you'd like to test it, comment “beta” and I'll send you the link.

What do you think can be done to remedy this?

I've been trying to update WhatsApp Business Desktop on Windows, but it just won't complete the update no matter what I try.

I've attached a screen recording showing exactly what's happening.

Has anyone run into this before or found a fix? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Imagine spending every day surrounded by fields overflowing with ripe apples, pineapples, oranges, bananas, cashews, sugarcane, and other crops. You're planting, tending, and harvesting them from sunrise to sunset, yet being forbidden from tasting even a single bite. For countless enslaved Africans, this was the cruel reality. The food they cultivated was not theirs to eat, and severe punishments awaited anyone who dared to do so.

The oppression extended far beyond hunger. Slave owners also feared the power of music. African spiritual songs were more than melodies; they carried history, hope, identity, and, at times, messages of resistance. Some songs inspired courage, unity, and the dream of freedom. Because of this, enslavers often tried to silence them, believing that shared songs could strengthen solidarity and even encourage rebellion.

Language, too, became a target. Many enslaved Africans were discouraged or forbidden from teaching their children their native languages and dialects. Instead, they were forced to adopt the language of those who enslaved them, contributing to the gradual erosion of cultural traditions that had been passed down through generations.

Some historical accounts describe the use of iron masks or muzzles as instruments of punishment and control. According to these accounts, an object such as an apple might be placed inside an enslaved person's mouth before the metal mask was locked shut, making speech and sometimes even swallowing extremely difficult. Whether used to prevent eating, speaking, or as a form of punishment, such devices have become enduring symbols of the brutality inflicted on many enslaved people.

These accounts represent only a small glimpse into the countless hardships endured by enslaved Africans over centuries. They speak to systems of slavery, colonialism, and cultural suppression that sought not only to exploit people's laboir but also to weaken their identities, traditions, and connections to their heritage. Many writers and historians argue that colonial rule also reshaped African societies through the introduction of foreign institutions, religions, and systems of governance, leaving lasting social, cultural, and psychological effects that continue to be debated and studied today.

For the last several months, I've been building simplecx, an AI-native marketing platform designed for small businesses that don't have dedicated marketing teams.

The idea came from running a marketing agency and repeatedly seeing how great businesses often fail to market themselves because they can't afford agencies or spend hours creating content.

Instead of juggling multiple AI tools, simplecx helps users generate campaigns, social posts, graphics, videos, and marketing assets from a single prompt.

We're still in beta, and I'm looking for people who are willing to break it, criticize it, and help shape the product.

I'm specifically looking for:

- Small business owners

- Startup founders

- Freelancers and creators

- Marketers

- Potential integration or strategic partners

- Angel investors interested in early AI SaaS

I'm not looking for praise. I'd much rather hear what doesn't work, what feels confusing, and what would make you actually use it.

If you're interested in testing it, partnering, or simply giving brutally honest feedback, leave a comment or send me a DM and I'll share access.

I'd also love feedback on the pitch video itself. Does it clearly explain the problem and solution, or is there anything that should be improved?

Thanks for taking the time to watch
