Day 43 building in public for Hermes Voice! Officially crossed 100+ users on the app 🥳 Of those - 8 lifetime sales 🔒 - 2 monthly subscription on the board🎯 ($18 MRR) Seems like when users get on the app they like it! Time to keep pushing 💪

Don't have a app demo yet? Do this now Claude Code + Remotion This took 30 minutes to do With a little more work I'll have a beautiful product demo for my landing page

Okay... video editors might REALLY be cooked. I made this video for Hermes Voice in 20 minutes. Took a few prompts with Remotion + Claude Code.

If you have a minute today to spare, an upvote would be appreciated! 🙌

Another great video from @muralibalaraman ! He finds the most practical MacOS applications that you would never know you needed Highly recommend checking him out if you work on the Mac in your day to day youtube.com/watch?v=G6xEFo…

Day 66 building in public for Hermes Voice! My approach to the most helpful "Vibe Mode" you will ever use Track your long running scripts/LLM tasks and redirect back when they are ready Completely local and beautifully integrated with the Hermes Voice bar When released: - Auto pause active video on redirect - Go back button to go back to what you were working on - Support for terminal and commonly used IDEs I have been using it non stop and it is honestly amazing to keep me focused on work Go Bears!! 🐻

@_annakulina @khan_kilo @Jbm_dev @_loganlee @ecomchigga @joncphillips 100% he puts in the work!

@khan_kilo @Jbm_dev @_loganlee @ecomchigga @DomTheDev1 @joncphillips Thats so true!! Joshua is actually always grinding on here!

let’s celebrate the builders on X! Name 3 accounts you follow: 1. most inspiring 2. most interesting 3. most underrated

@Jbm_dev @_loganlee @ecomchigga @_annakulina @joncphillips Thanks Joshua!! It is very much appreciated :) You keep the social circle together so well. just a genuine person on X and it’s been great following your journey!

Hmm good question! I think maybe: 1. @DomTheDev1 because he is doing videos every day and building something cool. Doing videos like that is tough! And @_annakulina because she is a natural at social media and building a bunch of products with great Art. 2. @joncphillips always has something interesting to say. @tylerwares because he is very engaging, has chats in replies that make me think. 3. @khan_kilo the most consistent account in my feed since I started on X and @AlexWinkyFace because he is just a cool guy with a small account and deserves a bigger following! But honestly it’s tough, because there are probably a few dozen people that I would put in these categories. So many great people here on X

Day 65 building in public for Hermes Voice! 3 days of working on migrating the MacOS voice dictation app over to IOS app Already have a fully functioning POC - Onboarding/Auth - Data syncing / wireframe (almost) - Keyboard - Voice transcribing with AI text formatting

Day 64 building for Hermes Voice! Working on the onboarding and wire-framing the functionality for the IOS version of our MacOS app Not everything will be supported but it will open up reach and some potential cool features we have in mind with the Mac app

@TaniaBelldotcom @MaximeMB_ Thank you for the insight! I will look out for this to make sure it is not happening. Very helpful

polar is excellent for killing the VAT/Tax headache (since they act as the Merchant of Record). just keep an eye on your net margins. their base fee is higher (~4-5%), and since they use Stripe Connect for payouts, check if they are actually sending you raw USD or if Stripe is still auto-converting it to GBP before it hits your bank. you might be paying for both. here's how to avoid this 👇 x.com/TaniaBelldotco…

Wait so Stripe is actually taking 6% in fees on my sales!? 😱 Time to switch immediately... What's the best payment provider?

@ThePeterMick Love the retro look

solo startup founder out for a run after making MRR

@quionie 100x this Claude is the silver bullet we have been looking for

Popular take: Claude >> ChatGPT

You have a great product Things are stable and sales have been confirmed What's your next step for 10x growth?

@EHuanglu I've seen stranger things but its up there

you never know who you are video calling

Day 63 building in public for Hermes Voice! Recollecting on where I've started with this project to where it is now I can't be more proud of this one Hermes has really become a productivity machine for me that I can't work without and I know others will think the same

@mdnlabs I just recently switched to Polar for the same reasons. They are a merchant of record so you don't get charged tax fees for a single sale in that country

Genuine question for the builders here. Stripe or Dodo? We want to sell globally + keep taxes simple.

Day 62 building in public for Hermes Voice! Afternoon coffee boost Docs are nearly complete with change logs Working on UI fixes across the app that needed cleanup Got a lot done for a contract job (separate from Hermes) Solid start to the week 💪

You can’t even script it this good Da bears 🐻

@udaysy @mintlify Hallucinating features mainly. Layout and formatting was perfect but some pages went into details that were not relevant or made up

@DomTheDev1 @mintlify mintlify + claude is solid for getting docs up fast. curious tho - is the cleanup mostly fixing hallucinations or restructuring the flow?

Day 61 building in public for Hermes Voice Started working on docs and change logs to be added to the site Didn't take long to get a solid v1 using @mintlify and Claude It assumed a lot though so will need to clean it up page by page for accuracy
