Hi guys, Sam again.

I’ll admit… I’m a hypocrite.

I made a LinkedIn post this morning about how “At thinair we give each other space and let eachother work in their own lanes”

Well…

I did the opposite for the sake of all of our collective sanity.

As you may know, we released our first version of Thinair last week.

(Reply to this email for an access code if you haven’t got yours!)

But, we’re already shipping new features again!

I sat down with Isaac, one of our founding engineers.

And literally breathed down his neck until we finished a laundry list of daily use features, performance updates and beautification UI stuff. (Sorry, Isaac)

But don’t worry, it’s a bunch of awesome stuff that makes Thinair far more useable and feel complete.

Most startups start as a hack and smash version of what they are destined to become

But we’ve been able to throw together a lot of great things in a short time frame.

This week Isaac and I added a text editing tool, some visual enhancements and updated our onboarding flow while Dan hashes out some back of house server improvements.

We’re also to announce a small shift in the way we do things, specifically in our customer targeting and pricing model.

Customer Targeting

We are now focused on seeking out the biggest Thinair fanatics, power users and alt tabbers on planet Earth and look to put them infront of a Thinair space.

No more casuals, no more building a thing for everything that’s for everybody.

Just straight up power users and super humans.

How Thinair Pricing Works

Most of you, if not all of you have an electricity/utilities bill.

When your lights are on, you pay.

When they’re off, you don’t.

Fair, right?

Thinair will operate the same way, with a metered pricing model based on browser hours.

For instance, open up as many tabs as you want and keep your workspace organized without worrying about usage limits!

Browsers automatically pause counting usage when:

• Not actively being used

• Outside your current view

• Showing static content only pay for what you actively use.

Our Casual plan will include 500 browser hours, Our Standard will include 1,000 and our Advanced will include 2,000 browser hours.

For the average individual, this should give you a strong month of browser usage within your space.

If you want to add team members, you’re welcome to pool your browser hours or collectively upgrade your space to a higher plan.

We are addicted to pushing new features.

We’ve heard a ton of great feature requests from you all, and we have a laundry list piled sky high of things we plan on improving and adding.

Stay tuned for next week and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey again!

We've been busy making moves! This weekend, we brought thinair to HackRPI where over 500 attendees got their hands on our platform. The response was amazing, we got to see how users play with thinair, manage their tabs and build workspaces.

Not to mention, some of our first paying customers joined us right there at the hackathon!

And speaking of big moves – we just submitted our Y-Combinator application on November 12th.

Want your early access code? Just hit reply to this email, and we'll send you details about your unique code to get started with thinair.

Can't wait to see what you build with it!

As Reid Hoffman famously put it, “If you’re not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late.” But let’s be real here—we’re not the least bit embarrassed by thinair’s v0.7.

In fact, we’re pretty damn excited about it.

This is our first “public” release, and it’s loaded with the good stuff:

• A drag-and-drop workspace: Brings all your apps, tools, and browsers into one customizable hub. Say goodbye to scattered tabs and endless switching—just drag, drop, and arrange everything exactly how you want for a streamlined workflow that adapts to you.

• Workspace clusters that you can invite teammates to: Make collaboration easy and organized. Create dedicated spaces for projects, departments, or clients, and bring your team right into the workflow without the mess of multiple windows or logins.

• Built-in AI at Your Fingertips: Thinair comes with a powerful AI assistant (an extension of GPT-4 and Claude Sonnet 3.5.1) ready to go—no need to log in or fuss with API keys. It’s all right here, seamlessly integrated to help you streamline tasks, run smart searches, and automate workflows with ease.

It may be a minimal first version; but we’re bringing something seriously powerful right out of the gate.

Credit where it’s due—our CEO/CTO Dan Lannan has been building thinair for nearly 2 years, so we’re talking about a foundation that’s rock solid and ready to go.

So yeah, thinair is here, and we’re excited to see how you’ll use it to finally get all your stuff in one place.

This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to see where it goes.

We’re excited to connect with each of you, see how you’re using thinair, and find ways to make it even better.

Yo yo!

We’ve got just under a hundred of you on this list now, so it’s time for some teasers and a look at what’s in store for thinair.

We’re putting the final touches on our v0.7 release, scheduled for November 9th—and early access codes are just around the corner!

Today, we were testing thinair ourselves (which is getting polished up over the next week so it’s perfect by launch day) to work together on a merch order for a Hackathon at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on November 9th and 10th.

The power of thinair in action: We all jumped into the same Thinair space to plan and order Hackathon apparel. Dan (CEO/CTO @ Thinair) has some serious merch chops—his first business was a corporate apparel company (still running strong!), so we score deals on merch.

Our thinair space for our apparel order!

Getting four of us in the same workspace to browse potential items, design, and create mockups in real time was super cool—and we can’t wait for you to try it too.

Here are some things you’ll be able to do on November 9th:

• Manage Client Clusters – Seamlessly organize and manage multiple client projects, all from one central hub.

• Create a Multiviewer for Your Stock Watchlist – Keep all your watchlist tabs in view and up-to-date in real time.

• Organize Marketing Campaigns – Plan, track, and adjust campaigns in one place without losing track of assets or data.

• Build an AI-Powered Research Hub – Gather data from various sources, run AI commands, and instantly pull insights from your space without tab overload.

• Streamline Project Timelines – Keep track of project stages, timelines, and tasks for every team member in a unified view.

& tons more.

Stay on the lookout for an email from us on November 9th to get your early access code!

This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to get thinair into your hands. Stay tuned for more teasers, and keep an eye out for those early access codes!

See you soon in the air,

Sam
