Additionally, they worked on the launch of the landing page, detail page tags, image multi-selection for the editing page, and addressed translation issues for the detail page.

We're shifting our focus to the browser extension to create a much easier onboarding experience. Anyone, with or without an account, can connect two webpages, allowing them to be each other's context during web browsing.

This week's weekly report:
https://www.copus.io/work/ea7cf816646942c78280bd5fbfa94831

We are a couple of days away from launching the new browser extension - a big project pivot. We took out the revenue-sharing concept that we've been long working on and gave access to anyone to connect any two webpages through the browser extension.
In the next couple of weeks, we'll test out different hypotheses regarding how the browser extension can be put to use by Tiktok and Rednote to promote it and gather user feedback.

This week’s weekly report: https://www.copus.io/work/e5d6d17372bd4030847924f60a7fbc22

We made an iteration on the browser extension design to refine its experience and that took us an extra week. Now things are on track and it will launch in the next few days!

This week’s updates：
https://www.copus.io/work/b083c261fff3451c8d50f8cb18384a61

We launched the big update for the browser extension. Now it turns every webpage into a discovery - co-curated by AI (Copi) and humans. Copi feeds you relevant webpages based what you are viewing. You can also manually connect webpages for you and others to browse.

Our marketing fellows found a sign of PMF through promoting on Weibo. Chinese fan fiction writers respond very positively to our “anti-censorship & permanent storage” features with 300 newly registered users in two days led by a single post.
We are thinking about focusing on this niche audience for our cold start. 😊

This week's update:
https://www.copus.io/work/c8c637cc2f194c9c8328903311fdcb26

Our marketing team launched a social media campaign on Rednote and Weibo towards Chinese fanfiction writers, and it took off! We've been running our social media and optimizing products based on user feedback this week.

Important numbers:
Website visits grew from around 30/day to 1000+/day
Registered users grew from 1800+ to 2700+ (roughly 6% of visitors register an account)
Rednote followers grew from around 100 to 3000+
Connections formed between URLs grew from 2000+ to 15000+

Please note that these are not users who came for tokens (because we haven't announced anything about token). These are actual users who came for the product's value. Will keep growing 🙂

S31 Labs Weekly Report (Apr 11th)

We used this week to consolidate the initial PMF we found last week. On the product side, we launched publishing function on mobile (H5) which was largely required by our audience last week. We also optimised the browsing experience on mobile. On the marketing side, we retrospected based on our experience from last week and drafted several marketing moves to make next.

The past three weeks were like driving a motorcycle 🏍🐙💦

Here comes our report (May 5th):

https://www.copus.io/work/c35c4b6ba3c14442ac4962455535bb6f

In the past three weeks, we aligned the platform's "Connection" function with the browser extension. Reaching 30k+ platform unique visits every month with around a 6.7% registration rate, grew 2k users organically in April.

We surveyed authors who publish on Copus. Based on the results, we are working on a more advanced Tag and content rating system this week.

We are also running for the upcoming Base and Solana Hackathons.

At the same time, we are exploring a new growth direction around "information exploration". This includes social media posts and SEO for the browser extension Chrome store page.
