It has been... 7522992 seconds 125383 minutes 2089 hours 87 days 12 weeks 3 months since i start building in public you?

mindset when first building: "we're changing the world" mindset after a few months: "please just one user sign up today"

The difference between employees and founders: Employee Sunday: "Thank god it's the weekend" Founder Sunday: "Finally uninterrupted time to obsess over that feature I've been thinking about all week" We're built different (and maybe slightly unhinged) 🤷‍♂️

FinVI's pick of the day: $LPLA LPL Financial Holdings Inc. - Strong revenue growth of 41.80% year-over-year with healthy profitability metrics (20.86% ROE, ~11–14% range operating margin) What's your pick today?

FinVI's pick of the day: $CVX Chevron Corporation - Defensive energy play: Strong balance sheet + reliable dividend makes CVX a safe harbor if markets stay choppy. What's your pick today?

Your portfolio reflects your self-talk 📈 Stop saying "I always lose money" or "I'm terrible at trading." Start saying "I'm learning" and "I'm improving my strategy." Fellow traders - your words program your brain. Choose them wisely 🧠

Real talk: What's harder? - Sticking to your trading plan when you're up 30% - Cutting losses when you're down 20% - Not checking your portfolio every 5 minutes Which one breaks you first? 🤔

Been away for a week building my product while building other products to try Sometimes you gotta go dark to execute. Zero social media, pure focus mode.

Building your own app is dangerous because there are no deadlines to save you from yourself 😅

Monday vibes: No deadlines, no pressure... just me obsessing over a tiny feature for 6 hours straight 😅

What is one automation you cannot live without now that you build in public?

@alexcooldev The visibility problem is brutal. Most founders spend 90% on building, 10% on getting found.

Only ~1% of App Store apps ever hit $10k/month. And on X, it feels like only winners go viral. For every “$20k MRR” screenshot, there are millions of apps at $0 and thousands of founders posting into the void. Survivorship bias is real. Most apps don’t die because of bad code. They die because nobody ever sees them. Build fast. Ship ugly. Market early. Or stay invisible.

@withkynam Neither. messy roadmap ftw

startup founders and indie builders what are you shipping this week? perfect roadmap? or messy launch? you can only win one way

@origon Clean approach! 🔥

We've heard the feedback. Configuration shouldn't be a barrier. We're creating setup guides for every Origon tool. Starting with the most-used: Chat, Email, and SIP. First—Chat. One node supports four deployment modes. Public URL for instant sharing. Embedded widget for your site. Full-screen app on your domain. Or SDK for custom builds. All voice-enabled by default.

@bluewmist The deep work block is everything. For me, the issue is 6AMs, that's hard.

Normalize this by the age 25-32 • Wake up at 6 Am. • 6-8 hrs of deep work. • Cook your own food. • Keep your life private. • Spend 1 hr in the gym. • Mind your own business.

"Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most." Do you agree?

@ahmadafterhours Most founders overthink this. Start with your network, then iterate based on what worked. The first 100 teach you more than any growth strategy. What specific approach are you testing?

Your product is now live. How are you getting your first 100 users to sign up?

@zuess05 It's crazy how when we work 9-5, weekends are a no no, now weekends are the best time HAHA

@owencollections thats awesome Owen! im hustling on the weekends for sure haha

They say: "Don't deploy on Fridays." 🛑 That rule is for employees. Not for Founders. We ship everyday What are you shipping today? 👇
