Macro focus means to discover what is important. Micro focus is to remember it at all times. One without the other can be disastrous. Combining both with consistent effort unlocks a tremendous force. I read this idea in a newsletter the other day, and I thought it was very accurate but also very hard to follow with all the distractions around us. Add to that the necessity to pivot at the right moment, and there's your "mission impossible." Nevertheless, it's one of the most important keys to success.

@amosbastian Congrats, Amos! It’s a whole new chapter 😁

Good job, Ann! It definitely looks cleaner and more professional. One thing that caught my eye on the “before” side is the hand wave icon. I think the intention there was to make it look a bit friendlier and less formal. The new design is more enterprise-like and leaves less room for such things. For some reason, it made me feel a bit sad 🙂 But as long as Tony likes it, then that’s the way to go 👍

Tony (@tdinh_me) asked me to revamp the sidebar for TypingMind Custom. Here's the result. What do you think? 🤓

As I embarked on my mobile app development journey, I had to make the call on which framework I’d use. My curious self always wanted to learn Swift and iOS development. My practical self, with the help of @NikolayStrikhar‘s whispering into my ears 🤣 wanted to cut it to the point. Learning is great, and I might as well do that this year. But my goal is to learn the process of delivering a mobile app vs just developing it. I looked at React Native before, but I wanted to see what’s out there. It turned out that from a practical perspective, I was facing a choice between React Native, Flutter, Swift, and Ionic. As I said, I focused on minimizing my time on development. I’m pretty familiar with React, which leaves me with two choices: React Native and Ionic. I chose Ionic. Why? Because it has pretty much everything I need for a simple app out of the box, including a library of UI components. I just had to add Tailwind support, which wasn’t that critical, to be fair. My app is very simple, so there’s no performance penalty that might come with a hybrid app in some cases. I’m pretty happy with my choice so far. The only annoying thing is the permanent storage implementation, which requires a SQLite plugin. The examples I found are a bit over-engineered, so I had to spend a bit of time integrating this plugin in a more straightforward way. I know I’ll be having quite a bit of fun going through the app publishing process 🙂 So I’ll share it here as I go. And, of course, I’ll share what the app is about when I have a link to AppStore 😉 It’s an additional motivation for me to get there faster.

@kentcdodds @remix_run Indeed! Btw I really like how you have all the ADRs in the repo. I rarely see this approach in the wild 👏

@ArtKrivtsov @remix_run It is epic!

I just learned that there’s now an epic (that’s literally the name) starter stack based on @remix_run by @kentcdodds: epicweb.dev/epic-stack. I haven’t tried it yet, but it looks very promising if you want to ship your SaaS fast 🚀

@NikolayStrikhar Great investment! I enjoy my Humanscale, too. Really helps with my back and neck 💯

Btw Herman Miller Aeron completely solved my lower back pain. I don’t have ANY pain anymore. 100/10. I have a good posture, but I needed a good lumbar support to sit properly. The build quality is great, can’t enjoy aluminum more.

When you get interested in something, you start attracting things related to it even without explicitly looking for it. This works for me every time 😄 I recently started working on my first mobile app. So, I started seeing more people on X who are into mobile development, stumbling across articles on the topic, etc. I guess I can also blame targeting algorithms for that 😆

@aliazimi86 @ThePeterMick @maximgospodinko @linhbuilds @CreateActionLtd @JanTheSaasGuy @juleswritescode @Kmaticu Sounds good! There was a paid one by Nick but it hasn’t gotten any traction really. So I agree 💯

@ArtKrivtsov @ThePeterMick @maximgospodinko @linhbuilds @CreateActionLtd @JanTheSaasGuy @juleswritescode @Kmaticu I am not a fan of these if they are paid and dead. So we should just give it a shot and enter only bootstrappers.

Anyone interested in a closed special bootstrapper community channel? Like A Whatsapp or Slack channel? Supporting, guiding and growing with each other? Also would you consider to share your exp as a bootstrapper in a 1:1 Talk? wdyt?

@aliazimi86 @ThePeterMick @maximgospodinko @linhbuilds @CreateActionLtd @JanTheSaasGuy @juleswritescode @Kmaticu I’d be up for giving it a shot

@valsopi Tbh, the name always flips in my head when I pronounce it to something like “blogtastic” 🙂 Also, rebranding is a good reason for a re-launching campaign. If you have something catchy, I’d say go for it.

I've been going back and forth with the idea of changing blogstatic's name to something more remarkable. I feel the product has outgrown its current name and the new name needs to translate more specifically what the product is and where it's going. Should I?

@atunasashimi Ah, nomad life! This is truly awesome and great for creativity. The “old” ideas are forced out by the new impressions and open up space for the new ones. Also, I was curious when your inner builder shows up 😁

There's a lot that I'd like to accomplish throughout this year. But therein lies an endless number of ambiguous opportunities. I speak a bit on my plans for the year here: tuna.im/where-do-we-go/ All that said, I welcome the chaos that change brings.

@valsopi These are all great questions, Val! The tricky part for me was realizing that doing my best doesn’t mean doing as much as possible. And it also means being aware of others’ expectations, which can be hard sometimes.

Questions I will ask myself this year: —Is what I am doing my very best? —Am I putting my best foot forward? —Are others getting the best version of me? Not just work. Life. Everything. I feel sometimes in the past I wasn’t doing all I can, even though that was my intent.

@s_chiriac I really love well-structured code and apps done “the right way,” for the lack of a better term. But delivering quicker by taking “shortcuts” where necessary to keep the validation cycle shorter is a critical skill that goes hand in hand with marketing.

Indiehackers what is the most essential skill needed to succeed on this journey? I want to learn more about marketing this year. What about you? #buildinpublic

That’s interesting! I can say that I decided to switch to smaller apps (mobile apps, most likely) to keep the development-feedback cycle shorter. Potential profits, on average, would be smaller but probably quicker to get to. On the other hand, some developers are keen on investing in the apps that have shown some traction. So, I think what we see is the market pieces clicking into places 🤔

We've seen a surge of micro-acquisition platforms lately. Shipping and exiting fast are trends too amongst builders. Less risk taking, smaller rewards?😅

@atunasashimi That’s an awesome post you wrote! I really enjoyed reading it 😊 Long-form writing is so tempting 😅 Sometimes, I find it easier to write a longer thread than a short tweet. But I agree, that was a good year after all!

The years ending in a handful of moments. But all in all, its been a good one. Many new challenges (plzsendhelp), new friends (all of you), some ups and downs but a lot of progress. In celebration, I wrote my first blog post! tuna.im/2023 Cheers to the new year 🥂

@norbertjurga Same here, Norbert! Looking forward to seeing where our journey brings us in 2024 🍾

@ArtKrivtsov Great pieces of advice, Art! So grateful that we "met" this year, here is to the next one 🍾 thanks for the shout-out

The end of the year is usually the time when we look back and reflect on what happened for the past twelve months. Even though it’s good to do it way more often than that, it is still good to review the year from a strategic perspective. It helps to summarize the most significant learnings for different aspects of life. Some people like to formalize it by looking at different facets of their lives, like health, family, friends, job, etc. I usually look across all of them and pick the ones that stand out. These are my observations that I’d like to share: - Despite burnout, traveling, and a messed up workout routine in the second half of the year, my immune system is in better shape than the previous year. I think the reason was that I was a bit more proactive in taking a break sooner. Last year, I'd work through burnout probably, and it wouldn't have ended up being good for my immune system. - I should be more conservative with time estimates at my job. This one is obvious. But still, I feel that I may fall into the PM trap of manufactured urgency. Which, in turn, may lead to some not-so-pleasant side effects. - Things that aren't under your control aren't under your control indeed. I must be extra careful around those things since they can change randomly. For instance, my parents' relocation didn't go as expected. And even though everything ended up well, it took more time and money than I expected. - Because of the previous point, I need to pay more attention to building my savings and investments. - I must be extra careful with my time since it's also an asset. Even though I know that I'm rather good at building apps (it's been my day job for more than 20 years after all 🙂)I need to ensure I'm spending my time using this skill efficiently. Looking back at the last year, I started two projects and didn't bring any of them to a state where they'd spark any interest from the users for different reasons. Of course, I've got some experience. So, I aim to use this experience to succeed in my future projects. Last but not least, I'd like to thank the members of this community here for being a source of inspiration and support, with special thanks to: - @NikolayStrikhar for pushing me towards the dark (or light? 🤣) side of the marketing first approach. - @atunasashimi for helping ignite my thought process about Weter. - @norbertjurga for sharing his opinions and suggestions. It's very invaluable, and I really appreciate it. - @ShvZFR for his support in my journey. And the fun time we had at s4 in Dubai 😎 And also @MrNick_Buzz, @heyolivehaus , and @aliazimi86, who make this community supportive, fun, and inspiring.
