    Pressdeck▲311

    As a long time indie developer, I always needed a way to promote our products, talk to influencers, journalists, and share our story. Press kits are essentials to make these communications smoother and more pleasant. However, sharing information via public Google Drive folders and Dropbox folders is outdated and does not leave a lasting impression... So, I've built Pressdeck - an online press kit builder your products! I'd love for your to try it out and let me know how to make it better for your niche!
