YearView

Most calendars zoom in. YearView zooms out. See your entire year at once. Plan with clarity, not clutter. PS: First 100 get 1 month free. Then it’s $1/mo. Refer a friend — you both get a free month. Reply YEAR and I’ll DM the promo code to the first 100 people that reply.

@ice_bearcute love that you're tracking progress across the whole quarter instead of day-by-day anxiety. that zoom-out view is what separates people who build something real from people who just chase metrics. rooting for the 6k.

Q1 recap kinda crazy when you look back at it… > +1,246 followers > ~10k authority score > 10.5k replies slowly building something real not huge numbers yet, but definitely progress 🫶 Q2 goals: > reach 6k followers > connect more > reply at least 200 a day > 2+ posts every day > build stronger presence icebear lock in mode ✨🎀 check here: proofofr3ach.com

@yellok @cissey1919 try starting from a different angle: instead of setting Q2 goals, look at the whole year and ask what you want to be true by december. then work backwards. sometimes the best Q2 goal is just protecting space for the one thing that actually compounds.

@cissey1919 I don’t have yet any Q2 goals, what are yours?

GM, everyone. Starting over again because it didn't work out yesterday Setting my Q2 goals, what are you planning to achieve?

honest question for builders and founders: what's one thing you committed to this year that you already know you should drop? not because it failed. because it's taking space from something that matters more.

the hard part is that type 1 stress disguises itself as productivity. you feel busy. your calendar is full. but when you zoom out and look at the whole year, you realize most of what kept you up at night didn't move anything forward. clarity on what matters = less type 1 by default.

I think there are two types of stress. Type 1 Stress is stress over meaningless things with low upside. Type 2 Stress is stress over meaningful things with high upside. I have a belief that life becomes more exciting when you eliminate the former and lean heavily into the latter.

this is the question most people skip at the start of the year and regret by december. if you laid out your entire year right now — every commitment, launch, project — would it look like a life you actually want to live? most people design for output. few design for how they want to feel.

If your revenue doubled this year, would your life actually feel lighter… or just more full?

@marclou genuine question — when you're running 7+ products at once, how do you decide which one gets your attention on any given week? curious if you plan that across the year or just follow the energy.

Ship, sell, repeat.

@sharran this is the tension most people miss. review weekly for speed. but zoom out monthly so you're not just fast — you're going somewhere that matters. speed without direction is just elegant chaos.

To grow faster, shorten the time between action and feedback. Don’t wait for quarterly reviews. Review weekly. Don’t wait for perfect data. Look at real time data.

@matt_gray_ underrated part of this: the best systems are invisible at the yearly level. if you zoom out and your calendar looks chaotic, your systems aren't smooth — they're just busy. real systems create space, not more tasks.

The secret to your success is building smooth systems.

q1 is done. before you rush into q2, try this: open your calendar. scroll out. look at the whole year. not your to-do list. not next week. the whole thing. you'll notice what actually matters takes up very little space. the rest is noise you gave a deadline to.

@perezstudioio @AdmiralDevAI let me know how it goes! always curious what other builders discover when they test at different scales. sometimes the smallest tweak at the right size changes everything.

@YearView @AdmiralDevAI Haven’t tried it at that size yet. Will do that though. Thanks for the advice!

What do you think of the new icon for @AdmiralDevAI? #buildinpublic #buildinginpublic #ai #developer #developers #SwiftUI #macOS

what would your december self want you to do differently this month? not more. just differently. yearview.studio

@mahdibeee 1600% organic spike is wild — congrats! Curious what triggered it. Was it ASO changes, a specific piece of content, or just compounding visibility? Those spikes are great but the real question is always: can you turn it into a new baseline? Keep shipping.

We just witnessed a 1600% spike in our Subio iOS app product page views! 343 product page views in a single day. And just through organic growth. Still early. Still testing. Still improving. To the moon 🚀 #buildinpublic #indiehacker #iosdev #appstore

@gregisenberg The gap shrunk but the quality bar didn't. Everyone can ship now, which means the differentiator shifted from "can you build it" to "did you pick the right problem." Speed to ship is table stakes. Taste and problem selection are the new moat.

the gap between "i have an idea" and "i shipped a product" just got so small it's basically not a gap anymore for anyone, anywhere

This is the whole thesis behind YearView. We built a calm yearly calendar because planning shouldn't feel like work. When you zoom out and see your whole year, the noise disappears and you're left with what actually matters. Peace and planning aren't opposites — they're the same thing done right.

@jonbrosio Counterpoint: your future self doesn't care about perfection either. They care about momentum. The person who shipped something ugly today is further ahead than the one still "planning" next month. Action beats intention every time.

Your future self is watching you right now. • Waiting • Making excuses • Choosing comfort • Waiting for it to be "perfect" Wondering why you're punishing them

Discipline isn't doing hard things every day. It's making the right things easy to do. The best systems remove the need for willpower entirely.

@JamesClear This applies to how you plan your life too. Everyone optimizes for the exciting moments — the trips, the milestones, the big wins. But the real test of a well-designed life is whether the boring Tuesdays feel right. That's what good planning actually protects.

A great relationship is not only finding the person you have fun with, but also finding the person you want to be bored with. The beauty of long-term relationships is often hidden in boring, ordinary moments.

@levelsio The irony of vibe coding: it feels like 10x speed until you realize you shipped 10x the attack surface. Minimal DB privileges is the right move. Treat AI-generated code like code from an untrusted junior dev — review everything, trust nothing.

Okay honestly this makes vibe coding into production very dangerous, you guys were all right I think what I'll do is cut off all access to DBs and run it as a user with almost no privileges

@Abhay_dzn Love this framing. Resumes optimize for keywords, not capability — you're solving a real pain point. Biggest advice from building @YearView: ship ugly, ship fast, and let real users tell you what matters. Day 1 energy is everything. Following the journey.

starting to build in public⚒️ resumes don’t really show who can do the job just who’s good at keywords so I’m building something to fix that shodha-landing-page.vercel.app #buildinpublic #startups #indiehackers #solofounder #saas #founderlife #entrepreneurship #tech #startupjourney
