In line with my recent rediscovery of an old site of mine, not only did I do the 12 in 12 some years before Peter Levels, I was doing #buildinpublic when most of you lot were still in nappies

Bloody hell, I'm enjoying this blast from the past.

I've just made my next product live. Very low-key, as I've done zero #buildinpublic (bad Andy!). I've reasons for that, which I'll write about shortly.

What is the (free for now) service?

Not a 24-hour build, but still a quick #buildinpublic of a mobile app:

Recently came across a series of #buildinpublic posts about creating an IOS app.

Marketing week for @getsponsorshq didn't go too well last week. Got about 1/2 the planned things done, and very little interest other than a bit of cheerleading, which is nice but less than I hoped, given that I'd seen a few people ask for a similar solution.

#buildinpublic

@daniel_nguyenx @IndieHackers 2 definitely, Daniel. That's why I've whittled my list down to only 24 (only!) that I reckon I can build in 2 weeks, and have started building.

I've started documenting things as I #buildinpublic

Had a busy weekend so very little time to work (it's been sunny here in Scotland - that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it).

Back to @getsponsorshq tomorrow for the first real day of marketing (although I did a tiny bit on Friday last week).

#buildinpublic

@ThePeterMick So with that, I'm calling it a night (quitting whilst I'm ahead).

Tomorrow: Marketing day:

- Update landing page
- Open up for public beta
- Post to indie hackers
- Add 3 posts/tutorials to the sites
- Share on reddit
- Twiddle thumbs waiting for Paddle

#buildinpublic

@marckohlbrugge I've got an RSS feed of #buildinpublic at up.

You'll be fairly busy 😁

And 10 days later, 211.

Which isn't a massive increase, but is a fast rate of increase than I'd had for a while before.

What's changed?

I'm doing more #buildinpublic

@ThePeterMick PPS. Might as well add a #buildinpublic into the thread as well.

For anyone just finding this tweet, scroll up for the live walkthrough!

Progress on @getsponsorshq

* UI finessing basically complete
* Automated testing framework deployed
* Staging environment deployed for testing

This is day 11 of 14 in the #buildinpublic period, so I'm gearing up for marketing week.

Things are going so well with my 2-week build of newsletter sponsor management app @getsponsorshq that I actually took yesterday to put in a testing framework.

Mainly so I can test the all-important register/login/subscribe/upgrade subscription processes.

#buildinpublic

Pretty much got the full flow working for Sponsors HQ:

- Newsletter publisher can define their sponsor slots
- Advertisers can see available slots, reserve them, and make payment
- Publisher can make final approval.

#buildinpublic

Good news. With a fresh pair of eyes this morning. I've got it sorted!

If you're just getting into laravel, check out all of Spatie's packages. They rock!

#buildinpublic

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.

Yesterday in my #buildinpublic journey, I started out delivering some core functionality for my Sponsors HQ app.

Boom! Bang! Mic drop! I was on a roll.

Then...

I'm getting my "delivery mojo" back on.

I've recently been pruning my list of ideas, and am committing to a two-week #buildinpublic, 2-week marketing cycle for a while.

This is just to get some momentum.

I'm on day 3 of the first project already. Details below...

Sam Thompson has done a great walkthrough as he spent a couple of days and built a tool to connect marketers with social media influencers.

Jack Culpan (a fellow Brit - yeah!) has detailed his bank-holiday creation of a Shopify App:

Just discovered Laravel 's $model->firstOrCreate()

That's cut the number of lines in my code by at least 50%
