LumioForge

I’d actually love to, but curious how that works for products that need manual setup. LumioForge sends real email follow-ups, needs lead sources connected, and the messages have to be tailored to the business. Hard to test properly without using a real inbox/workflow. How do you handle apps like that?

@lumioforge @csaba_kissi Hey! For getting early feedback on LumioForge you should check out nitpickr.dev You will get users, and completely free user testing + feedback. All you have to do is review someone else's app, and you'll get the same in return. Completely free to use too!

What project or website have you been working on this week?

After-hours is where expensive roofing leads quietly die. The homeowner reaches out at 8:47 PM. You reply at 8:12 AM. By then they have already heard back from 2 other roofers. Minimum rule: Every new inquiry should get an immediate acknowledgment, even when nobody is available to fully work it yet. A simple after-hours message: "Thanks for reaching out about your roof. We got your request and will follow up first thing in the morning to get details and next steps started. If this is urgent, reply here and include your address." That message will not book the inspection by itself. But silence definitely will not.

@icanvardar Build a pretty website, make no mistakes

tell me you’re good at design without telling me you’re good at design

Most roofing leads are not lost at the ad. They are lost between inquiry and booked inspection. A simple metric to check this: booked inspections / total inbound inquiries If that number is soft, do not just buy more lead volume. Audit 3 things first: 1. minutes to first acknowledgment 2. number of follow-up touches in the first 72 hours 3. whether replies stop the sequence and move into one clean thread Roofers usually do not have a demand problem first. They have a response-system leak.

@palmiapp I get that. I’m trying to make some posts more practical though, not just “missed leads are bad” in 10 different ways. Might not be the most viral format, but I’d rather share something a roofer could actually use than make every post super short.

@lumioforge Too much informative

A polite roofing follow-up sequence should create clarity, not pressure. If your messages feel like nagging, the problem is usually not the number of touches. It is that each touch says nothing useful. Use this simple sequence rule: Every follow-up should do one of three things: 1. reduce uncertainty 2. offer a clear next step 3. make replying easier Bad follow-up: "Just following up." Better follow-up: "Wanted to check back on your roofing request. If helpful, we can offer two inspection windows this week, or answer questions if you are still comparing options." Persistence works when it feels organized and helpful.

@YashHustle_22 At first the intuition because you don't have feedback. Later feedback and on the largest scale analytics.

What creates better products? - User feedback - Founder intuition - Analytics

@beswinjoee 8080 has that kinda symetric vibe to it

Which is your fav local host?

@anupamrjp Building LumioForge for roofing companies. It helps with faster replies to estimate requests, email/SMS follow-up, stop-on-reply, and keeping homeowner conversations organized. Still early and looking for real roofing operator feedback. lumioforge.com

Builders, this is your sign to stop lurking 👀 Show us what you’ve been working on: • SaaS • AI apps • automations • side projects Drop the link below 🚀

@mchulet Building LumioForge, a follow-up system for roofing companies so estimate requests don’t sit unanswered. Also building a free Skool resource hub around local outreach. First tool is a Google Maps scraper that exports local business leads to CSV. Happy to connect.

Hey founders! Looking to connect with people building in: • SaaS • AI • Automation • Web apps • Tech products • Marketing Drop what you're working on 👇

@anupamrjp Congrats! First 10k on the first app has to hit different.

Finally my first app reached 10k in revenue....

@justbyte_ Building LumioForge this weekend and cleaning up a few free resources around it. Also, cool mug btw.

Dear developers, what are you building this weekend?

@hridoyreh To learn cool shit, build useful things, and not become boring.

What is your life goal?

@GohilHardy Marketing and selling right now. Building is comfortable, but getting the right people to actually notice, care, and reply is where most of the work is.

Hey founders.. What takes most of your time daily? - Building - Selling - Marketing - Learning - Thinking

@KaiXCreator True. You need patience, curiosity, and a machine that doesn’t sound like it’s about to take off when you open VS Code.

Unpopular opinion: You don't need a MacBook Pro to become a great developer.

@larsbuilds Yeah sure, DM?

anyone up for backlink exchanges? 🤝

@marclou Phone off the night before is underrated. Starting the day without immediately getting pulled into noise changes everything.

The morning routine: - Phone turned OFF last night - Breakfast w/ wife - 1–2 hours at the gym - Cursor + localhost:3000 only, until lunch That’s the only way I’m productive and happy.

@bas_fijneman Founder here, happy to connect. Building LumioForge, a follow-up system for roofing companies, and sharing the messy first-user journey as I go.

If you're a founder, let's connect!

@TTrimoreau Google Analytics for now. Mostly because it’s the default and gets the job done, but I’ve been tempted to try something simpler like Plausible or PostHog.

Is Google Analytics still the default choice today… or are you using something else? - Google Analytics - Plausible - PostHog - Mixpanel - nothing at all

@nxhaaa19 ChatGPT, honestly. Not because it does everything perfectly, but because having something to sanity check code, copy, positioning, and random 2am ideas is hard to give up.
