Good morning

What is your plan this week?

I will focus fully on content creation (/marketing) and sales outreach this week
Let’s do this!

Have a great start today

#buildinpublic

I mainly want to know the exec summary when reading long from news pieces, so I built a little blog crawler and summariser over the past few days (I am on vacation🥳) to save me some time.

Would love to get some feedback, some of you want to try it?

I am trying to code some projects using gpt4 as my code-sensei


- I am a beginner still at python
- I tried not to tell it when I think something is wrong
- I never used @replit or the other tools before



Here's how that is going so far:

I have to say, you need a lot of followers to make a page with a stripe link work like levelsio.

It was interesting tho, yet, not worth the time for a sub10k follower account.

My usual go to quick test using ads has been much more successful for such tests.

I am opposed to using design to make people addicted on purpose to apps, so we don’t do it with our stuff - maybe we loose some interaction?
So be it.
Yet, gamifying elements is also fun.

What is your opinion?

We launched our investor syndicate webpage I built over the weekend (first time wordpress, a pain)

Kapslyangels.org

Now: finalising Incorporation & go.

first investors we talked to showed interest, first startups in DD as well

Thoughts?

Before you buy the domain, do a quick availability check of handles or names across platforms.

there are tools like
brandsnag.com/social-media-h…
namecheckr.com

that save you a ton! of time and frustration.

Do you folks offer consulting as a sort of sidehustle as part of your business ?

E.g onboarding to your product is free, but if you want specific help it‘s with a fee?

How does that work for you?

#buildinpublic peeps, how do you manage tension in your relationships?

My s.o said she signed up for me but not my startup stuff

- work hours are too long
- still don’t earn proper income
- no time/ money that we can do trips on weekends

What’d you do?
Take a step back?

Tuesday morning

domain down, app down, mail down

Can‘t log in to solve domain issue bc 2fa
Support calls since 1hr to try and fix it

How‘s your morning going?

#buildinpublic

Just had our cofounder alignment chat to figure out how to continue with our startup, including dissecting all data, talking about weaknesses we realised we have to and lots of personal stuff.

Its the only repeating meeting we have.

How do you do it?

#buildinpublic

Happy Friday morning all you builders, what are you working on today?

We do a strategic marketing workshop today and try to figure out how to move on from here, going yo be fun.

#buildinpublic

What’s a good seo and a good technical seo course to do on off hours that is straight to the point?

I got a good grasp of organic seo but man, I need to up my game, anyone has a recommendation?

One thing I underestimated when bootstrapping is to stick to a system until you have enough data and know Why&What to change.

We sometimes replaced a guess with another guess without realising it.

Matt Mochary, CEO coach to th guys at openai, naval and so on, open-sourced his method and resources on startup/entrepreneurship; some great content here.

All in all, my personal takeaway is

- self education
- trying things fast to get a lot of experience and
- networking

I analysed our entire company model and outreach, we then dug through all analysis today for hours and discussed all data we have to figure out why the hell our model is not taking off like it should.

We concluded that we might potentially be just absolut morons.
