Tech and industry (Software and SaaS)
Ten posts a software maker, a SaaS company or a developer tool makes, in a bento grid of rounded cards: the product's own screen in a browser or phone frame, one idea per card, chips for what is new, versions and code in a monospace face. Feature launch, Release notes, Pricing plans, Free trial, Case study, Integrations, Uptime report, Webinar, API change and Security advisory.

- Your own data sent to a stream, or posts written by hand in a post list, drawn in every shape and language your channels publish in.
Variants
A variant is this template drawn another way, and it comes in versions: immutable builds, the newest first. A channel follows the newest version of its variant, unless it is pinned to one.
| Variant | What it is | Versions | Newest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Feature launch | A new feature as a product-led launch post in a bento of rounded tiles: the kind of news on a chip, the version, the feature's name, what it does and where it is available on a tile of the brand colour, the product's screen in a browser or a phone, one to three benefits on tiles and a measured result as one big figure with how it was measured, complete on the first frame, the small print throughout. Each benefit is then lit in turn while the screen pushes in, the figure counts up to exactly what was sent, and the button and the brand's presenter close it. 1.8 seconds longer per benefit. | 1 | 1.0.0 |
| Release notes | A release as a software brand's changelog post in a bento of rounded tiles: the version on a chip in the brand's monospace face, the release date written out and the headline on a tile of the brand colour, a tile for each change with its chip (New, Improved, Fixed, drawn by its kind), small tiles counting the changes by chip and an optional screenshot in a browser or a phone, complete on the first frame, the small print throughout. Each change is then lit in turn, turning pages rather than shrinking, and the button and the presenter close it. 1.4 seconds longer per change. | 1 | 1.0.0 |
| Pricing plans | Two to four plans as a pricing table in a bento of rounded tiles: the kind of news on a chip, the headline, a sentence and a note on a tile of the brand colour, then a tile per plan with its name, its price as one heavy figure written the channel's way with its period, who it is for and up to six things it adds with a tick, the recommended one on the brand colour with its chip, complete on the first frame, the small print throughout. Each plan is then lit in turn while its ticks draw on, and the button and the brand's presenter close it. 2.5 seconds longer per plan. | 1 | 1.0.0 |
| Free trial | A free trial in a bento of rounded tiles: the kind of news on a chip, the offer and a sentence on a tile of the brand colour, the trial's days as one heavy figure on a tile of the brand's tint, whether a card is taken (a card crossed through where none is) and what happens when the trial ends, up to five things included with a tick and the product's screen in a browser or a phone where one is sent, complete on the first frame, the small print throughout. The days then count up again, each point is lit in turn, and the button and the brand's presenter close it. 1.2 seconds longer per point. | 1 | 1.0.0 |
| Case study | A customer story in a bento of rounded tiles: the customer's logo (or name) over its sector, the headline on a tile of the brand colour, the challenge in a line, one to three results as big figures with how each was measured, and a quote with its author's portrait, name and role, complete on the first frame where the frame has the room, the small print throughout. The challenge is read first, then each result counts up to exactly what was sent in its turn, then the quote is read, and the button and the brand's presenter close it. 1.8 seconds longer per result. | 1 | 1.0.0 |
| Integrations | The product connecting to its partners in a bento of rounded tiles: the headline on a tile of the brand colour with the marketplace's address, the product in the centre on a tile of the brand colour, wired to two to twelve partners standing either side, each its logo on a plate or its name, and up to three things the connection does, complete on the first frame, the small print throughout. A signal then runs down each wire in turn, lighting its partner, each thing the connection does is lit in turn, and the button and the brand's presenter close it. 0.4 seconds longer per partner. | 1 | 1.0.0 |
| Uptime report | A month's uptime as a status post in a bento of rounded tiles: the period and the headline on a tile of the brand colour with the status page's address, the uptime as one big figure with how it was measured and the commitment it met, a bar per day or week coloured by its status with the status words, and up to three incidents with their minutes and a line each, complete on the first frame, the small print throughout. The figure then counts up to exactly what was sent, the bars light in order, each incident is lit in turn with its bar, and the button closes it. 1.8 seconds longer per incident. | 1 | 1.0.0 |
| Webinar | An invitation to a webinar in a bento of rounded tiles: the kind of event on a chip, the title and a sentence on a tile of the brand colour, the date on a calendar leaf beside the time as one heavy figure with its time zone spelled out and its length, up to three speakers with their portraits (the brand's presenter standing in where none is sent) and up to four things attendees learn, complete on the first frame, the small print throughout. The time, each speaker and each point are then lit in turn, and the seats, the button and the presenter close it. 1.5 seconds longer per point. | 1 | 1.0.0 |
| API change | A change to a public API as a developer platform posts it, in a bento of rounded tiles: the kind of change on a chip, the API version in the brand's monospace face, what changes and the date it applies on a tile of the brand colour, the code before and after as two short blocks in the monospace face, tinted with the brand's down and up colours, lines broken and never cut, then what to do in up to four numbered steps and the documentation's address, the small print throughout. The old and the new code are read in turn, then each step. 1.6 seconds longer per step. | 1 | 1.0.0 |
| Security advisory | A vulnerability and its fix as a software company tells its customers, calm and factual, in a bento of rounded tiles: the identifier (a CVE or the company's own) in the brand's monospace face, the date, what is affected and what happened on a tile of the brand colour, the severity as the content's word with an optional score and a meter in the palette's own tones, the affected and fixed versions in the monospace face, then what to do in up to four numbered steps, the small print throughout. Each part is read in turn. 1.6 seconds longer per step. | 1 | 1.0.0 |
