Ben (Project Pivot)

If big companies automatically won… startups wouldn’t exist. Yet new winners appear every decade. Because incumbents optimise yesterday’s success. Indies build tomorrow’s behaviour. Join the journey 👋

@DerekCurtis_ Yep :)

@ProjectPivott Is this your first app?

Day 23 (I’m pretty sure) of building ...... in public 🔨 Managed to get my app on Test Flight and working smoothly with a couple testers (my dad). Going to iron out a couple of improvements tomorrow and hopefully send the testing to a larger group (5) Rinse and repeat. Then 10-20 people. The fix (well more so optimise now), Then LAUNCH! ..... coming soon 👀 0/1,000 people helped 🙌 1:58am now, bed time! 🥱

@Tobby_scraper Awesome results

40+ daily notifications 🔥 Trust the process and focus. Keep pushing on your SaaS. I’m doing only my marketing on X. Stick to what works 🚀

@_aashik_s Awesome. I’ll keep an eye out after I make an initial round or 2 of fixes and tweaks based on family and friends input :)

@ProjectPivott I went on Reddit and asked a user who fit my description of the perfect user if they wanted to use the app for free to test and they accepted

@andi_losing Did you think you would have more conversions initially based on your X following? Were you a bit underwhelmed?

this is the reality don’t ever let someone tell you something is “easy” just keep going :)

@did0f Jeez. Now you’re just giving me fomo ahah. Maybe after I launch 😅

@ProjectPivott Ben I'm not an hype guy. I also needed month before deciding to pay these 90euros/month. But after 1 minute I saw it was worth.

It's happening. Let's switch to Claude Max. It's an investment.

Day 24 of building ...... in public 🔨 Today I did 0 work on my app. Feeling a bit under the weather so I took the time to relax, get the body straight. Consumed a wide range of things to try wipe out the cold Don’t want it getting worse. Hopefully easing back into it tomorrow! ..... coming soon 👀 0/1,000 people helped 🙌 11:20pm now, bed time soon! 🥱

@_aashik_s Cheers for the advice. Any recommendations on finding someone willing to?

@ProjectPivott Try and get an actual user of your app to test early too. Sometimes friends and family just sugarcoat things

@did0f Making me tempted

@ProjectPivott It was the best thing I could have done

Builders. I need your help! On appstoreconnect / TestFlight, do you know how you can either > delete > group > or re order beta feedback screenshot submissions for an app? I want to mark the updates / implementations I’ve done off so I it’s more organised. Thank you 🙏

@andi_losing Good city isn’t it

I’m in love with Da Nang 🇻🇳 this is my view while working today

@AtSynct @did0f This is fact

@did0f I'm on the $200/month plan ... I figure it's much less expensive than hiring a Jr Dev ... and it makes me at least that much more productive (probably more).

@irbaazkadri Let’s do it :) thanks mate

@ProjectPivott rooting for you lets connect.

@_aashik_s Yep. More social. Haven’t even to the gym in a few years 😵‍💫 will be back soon though.

@ProjectPivott Nice! Is it more motivating than hitting the gym?

Started playing a squash to get into shape again. anyone else into a sport as a hobby and not just hitting the gym? found that after 30, playing a sport is way better to keep in shape in terms of enjoyment, than dreading to hit the gym every day consistently.

@SharavArora Thank youu

@ProjectPivott very nicee

@DavidStadniczuk That’s smart

@ProjectPivott That’s right, even after that period I’ll be taking care of SEO on it partially so it might be getting some traffic anyways which could convert

If you have a product that no one wants to use even good marketing strategy won’t save you I guess this might be the case for SendState but I’m not ready to let it go. I gave myself two more months before fully switching to my side project.

@VisionaryMrktg Thanks Chris!

@ProjectPivott rooting for you man crushing it more everyday keep it up 👊

@alexcooldev Oh mate how exciting!

One of my posts just went viral today 🚀 179K views in 24 hours (and still climbing) → +700 new users → $435 revenue in a single day (from my apps) Organic distribution is still underrated. 💪

@StevenCravotta Distribution and marketing need to be nailed even more now

The barrier to entry to build apps has never been lower.

@tamimbuilds Keep consistent
