Max Rohowsky, Ph.D.

Build in public update: Made the first demo video 🎉 Crosspublish helps easily post across multiple social channels from one place. Attention across social media is valuable. More visibility = more opportunities to: • build leverage • get leads for your business • strengthen your personal brand But many people spend hours writing content. Then post to just one platform. A lot of views are left on the table. Crosspublish helps fix that. Create once. Publish everywhere. And an editor that syncs beautifully between thread based (e.g. X) and long-form (e.g. LinkedIn) content automatically.

A week of work going to prod. - Beautiful calendar - Facebook integration - First draft of the docs

Todays progress: Built a help center!

... and this is a thread message added to see if it syncs properly across all providers.

This is Max from over the API :) Testing out if this post + picture successfully makes it to the platforms below.

@FlowHaa good luck! 🦾

Uneed launch is scheduled 🔥 ok wow, the waiting list here is pretty long 👀 My plan for the next days: Alternating between adding free tools / blog posts and submitting Huebert to directories 🚀

@slobkebap danke dir :)

@MaxRohowsky good luck!!

Finally done! The coding is slowly coming to an end. Crosspublish now supports all the major networks I need. I'll add Pinterest, Google Business, TikTok, and YouTube later on. But for now I'm quite happy with the social media coverage. Now I just need to get it approved by meta. Fingers crossed 🤞

Starting to love it. Everything is simple, clean, in the right place.

@rohidasgowda thanks rohidas :)

@MaxRohowsky Respect for you Max. Keep going.

Bootstrapping is the hardest thing I've ever tried. Today it came with another setback. I'm building a post scheduler, and sent my application to Meta for review. The review is required to get permissions to post on behalf of other people's accounts. After waiting 2 weeks, 2 of the 4 permissions were denied. Ouch. I could give up. Same way I could've given up - when Auth didn't work. - when the server kept crashing for no reason. - when time zones for scheduling where a mess. There's always a dozen reasons to give up. When i look back at this post in a year... ... I want to be able to say that I didn't.

@molaerga Congrats :) Hope the review passes smoothly :D

submitted my 3rd app just now! so excited for this one

@levelsio Wow, so strange. I was convinced your last name is Levels, but from what I read it's actually Mouthaan. But levels is much more memorable

Levels came from music actually like I wanted to level myself up from my Drum & Bass music career (where I'd a mixing desk with audio levels to produce songs or DJ) into a startup career

@sergeynazarovx haha good looks run in the family :D

@MaxRohowsky wow, he looks great

My dad is 85. He did over 10k steps in 28°C weather and won against me in golf today. ⛳️ I aspire to that level of health when I’m that old.

Photo dump from my stay in Poznan, Poland. 🇵🇱

Posting on LinkedIn feels the same as your boss looking over your shoulder at work. So everyone sounds overly sanitized. But if you’re among the few to post authentically there, engagement is often higher than on X.

@omarrizkx Haha, yea maybe solopreneur is the better word - but I doubt she knows what this is too :D

@MaxRohowsky mom: what’s an indie hacker again?

5 year old: "Mom, I want to be a fireman" 18 year old: "Mom, I want to be a banker" 25 year old: "Mom, I want to be an indie hacker"

Got blocked on Instagram after my first post. 👏Always👏warm👏up👏an👏account👏before👏 posting. Back to square 1.

@jig_corp So much lifetime you get back.

@MaxRohowsky 4s dev server feels like cheating compared to what we used to tolerate honestly

Turbopack cut 12s off my dev server startup. 🥳 Before: 16s startup After: 4s startup By just adding one flag in package.json: "dev": "next dev --turbopack"
