Itโ€™s been a few days now since I managed to sit down at my computer to work on anything.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

#NoCode #BuildInPublic
Flexing my blogging muscles again.

No Code exits and new perspectives ๐Ÿ‘‰ nicheless.blog/post/no-code-eโ€ฆ

#buildinpublic
Itโ€™s busy in #nocode #buildinpublic land today!

First up was a @bipf_ session from @thisiskp_ on finding your niche ๐Ÿ”Ž

Then itโ€™s @100daysnocodeโ€™s Bootcamp Demo Day ๐Ÿš€

Ending with @hdkstr @nocodesale garage sale where @tobibm_ @byhazellim are repping the paper clip challenge ๐Ÿ“Ž
โœ… Plus I've tidied up the app in general and added my new MidJourney-designed logo ๐Ÿค“

There's still lots to be done but I can't express how good it feels to have shipped something ahead of demo day.

It has been a long time since I considered myself a blogger, but sometimes you need more than 280 charactersโ€ฆ

UPDATE: once again Iโ€™ve realised thereโ€™s an even simpler version of my #100DaysOfNocode MVP.

Going to *try* and just complete the map + add swim function and switch off all log in/user settings.

So, honest #buildinpublic post.

This weekend, I planned to participate in the #100DaysOfNoCode MVP Bootcamp #BuildWeekend and started working on a PWA for open water swimmers. My goal was to help them find places to swim wherever they travel. twitter.com/iam_laurad/staโ€ฆ

Right, back to #100DaysOfNoCode #BuildWeekend.

๐Ÿ“ Updates:
I've been thinking about how users will use the app. To encourage the crowdsourcing of swim locations, I've decided to add a 'my swims' section to the app.

๐Ÿ”ง Updated database
๐Ÿ“Œ Added new tab twitter.com/Iam_LauraD/staโ€ฆ
Day 27 of #100DaysOfAI continues ๐Ÿ‘‰

Been developing a series of brand images for Idea Junkies, using MidJourney. Getting the prompt right - and imagery consistent- took some time, but I โค๏ธ the results so hard.

#buildinpublic
Right, off to watch the @nocodemba videos on building a Tinder-style app in Glide. I'm not wedded to the swipe function, but the search/ filtering function is definitely needed.

#buildinpublic #100daysofnocode #buildweekend
Added some fake user profiles to make it easier to build out the app's interface. Shout out to @wrenmeinberg @callmeed @ysphotomedia and Kevin Erdvig for their photography on @unsplash ๐ŸŽ

#buildinpublic #100daysofnocode
Getting a jump start on #buildweekend for #100DaysOfNoCode MVP Bootcamp.

Asked a wild swimming group on FB what info they want to know about a new swim spot, then used ChatGPT to pull together sample data.

See what I'm building at ๐Ÿ‘‰ yep.so/p/swimspotapp #buildinpublic
Srsly thoโ€ฆ

Last year I helped clients:

- Go viral on TikTok
- Be featured in national press
- Fundraise almost 250k
- Achieve a 43.77% YOY increase in income
- Achieve a 140% ROI on their campaign fees

It felt good to reflect on the successes.

Spent today finalising a couple of awards submissions for campaigns I ran last year.

Itโ€™s hard, knowing youโ€™re going up against big agencies with their own in-house marketing teams. But also made me realise just how proud I am of the work Iโ€™ve done.

Absolutely phenomenal first call with the #BIPF2 today. I can't believe the calibre and energy of the people I'm spending the next 5 weeks with ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Hats off to @thisiskp_ for bringing together a really inspiring group.

#buildinpublic
My #buildinpublic journey has only been going for a couple of months and I'm now 2 for 2 on exciting opportunities that have come off the back of it.

I've also never had so much fun online ๐Ÿ˜‚
Took @byhazellimโ€™s advice and switched to @GlideAppโ€™s OpenAI integration and have managed to get it working for my dream interpreter app. Also got an image generator set up with @zapier and DALLE.

Worked way too late thoughโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜ฌ#buildinpublic
Using ChatGPT4 browsing to try and identify the errors in my ThreadBuilder.carrd.co setup.

Wish me luck ๐Ÿคž

#buildinpublic
This actually surprises me - I anticipated at least a small % to pay for - or would pay for in future - #marketing support.

Especially when I see questions about this from the #indiehacker #nocode #buildinpublic community pretty frequently ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Food for thought ๐Ÿ’ญ
If youโ€™re an indie maker, creator or #indiehacker (and you have a product thatโ€™s in revenue) do youโ€ฆ
1/7 ๐Ÿงต More building today on โ€˜DreamifyAIโ€™. Itโ€™s a just-for-fun project really, but I wanted something that lets me learn #nocode x #AI, that doesnโ€™t require dev support and that I can build quickly.

If it works I might make it my Paperclip Challenge build. #buildinpublic
But hey, trying new things and building in public requires some risks!๐Ÿ˜…

Catch me for the #nocode, #buildinpublic, #100daysofnocode, #100daysofAI, and #indiehackers conversations soon โ€“ I'll keep you posted on my newest experiment.๐Ÿคž
