I don't regret the projects that failed.
I regret the ones I never shipped because I kept polishing them.
Done has taught me more than perfect ever did.

Every feature starts as a simple checkbox in my notes.
A few hours later it's 20 files, 3 edge cases, and one bug that somehow only exists on production.
Software has a great sense of humor.

@HsanC_ Congrats! I'm curious, if you had to start from zero today, would you still invest in all those channels, or double down on just one until product-market fit

Just hit $3k MRR! 🥳
It took me 32 days from $2k to $3k/mo 💰
My marketing stack:
- SEO (backlinks, blog posts etc.)
- YouTube (long-form videos)
- LinkedIn/Reddit/Medium articles
Let's see how long $5k/mo will take 🎯

@beka_saparbek That's not an unfinished app. It's an exclusive early access program now.

Day 214 of building in Public.
Goal is to earn $9,000 in July.
Current progress:
Installs: 729(+130)
Revenue: $1,214(+179)
MRR: $2190(+0)
I accidentally released my unfinished app. Hopefully nobody finds it.

Every side project teaches something.
One improved my backend skills.
Another taught me UI.
The latest one is forcing me to learn distribution.
Sometimes the product isn't the outcome.
The person you become is.
English
I used to think I needed more ideas.
Turns out I needed more finished projects.
Execution teaches lessons that planning never will.

@Aditya_181105 Being able to throw a huge codebase at the model without constantly worrying about token limits is a pretty compelling reason on its own
English
Today wasn't a big launch.
No viral post.
No new customers.
No milestone.
Just a few small improvements that future me will appreciate.
Progress compounds quietly.
English
A lot of bugs disappear once you stop trying to be clever.
Simple code is usually easier to debug, easier to extend, and easier to trust.
I'm learning that every week.
English
I've stopped asking if an idea is good.
Now I ask:
Can I build a small version this weekend?
Shipping answers questions that brainstorming never will.
English
Building solo means context switching all day.
Backend in the morning.
UI after lunch.
Bug fixes at night.
Marketing before bed.
It's exhausting sometimes, but seeing everything come together is what keeps me going.
English
@alex_lrz_nmv I fit somewhere between builder, learner, and occasional bug creator. Does that qualify me for the villain category too? :v

@TTrimoreau it's encouraging to see what a few months of showing up can look like

@beka_saparbek This is actually the first day I've come across your journey. I'm curious—did these results come after 179 days of building, or was there a much longer journey before that? I'm just getting started myself, so it's always helpful to understand the full timeline.

Sent my build for both open beta and full release.

Spent more time deleting code than writing it today.
The first version solved the problem.
The second made it reusable.
The third made it understandable.
Clean code isn't about fewer lines.
It's about making tomorrow easier than today.

@TeeDevh sometimes a small bump in conversion, retention, or pricing gets you there much faster
English
@GohilHardy Revenue. Not because it's the only metric that matters, but because paying users usually give the highest quality feedback. Everything else gets much easier once you know people are willing to open their wallets
English
Founders!!
When you launch your product, what's your #1 goal?
- Users
- Feedback
- SEO
- Backlinks
- Revenue
Pick just one.

@adriamatz The first 24 hours usually tell more about demand than months of overthinking. Congrats—hope the momentum keeps going.
