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 👋

@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

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! 🥱

@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
