The ups and downs of building your own applications are insane sometimes...

Yesterday:

Completely overwhelmed 😫
Wanted to give up 😥
Hated everything 😭

Today:

Built a cool workflow 😯
App UI is looking freshhh 😎
Dog is sat next to me at my laptop 🥰

#buildinpublic

I'm dreaming up a pretty ambitious @bubble project right now, and I keep getting anxious that I won't be able to pull it off because my skills aren't that well developed yet.

And then I remind myself of this...

#buildinpublic

Thanks for everyone who helped me find a new host!

I chose @SiteGround 🙂

Let's get this show on the road!

Since building my last @bubble project as a dashboard web app, I seem only capable of dreaming up new dashboard web apps...

It's like I'm allergic to ideas about anything else!

Someone remind me how the heck other web apps actually work? 😂

#buildinpublic #nocode

I'd have to build it in PRIVATE.

Despite my love for #buildinpublic, I can't see a good enough reason to reveal all the underlying strategy, finance, build process, etc.

The space is just too hot and my core audience here wouldn't be my main user (though some of you would be!)

Basic Parameters 🧱

1. SaaS - I like the model.
2. #NoCode - I like the speed/ease.
3. Entrepreneurs - I like the audience.
4. #buildinpublic - I like YOU, my friends!

As indie hackers, it can be hard to believe people pay $$$ for "business in a box" projects.

💻 Nice MVP
💰 Few paying users
👥 Initial social following

BUT THEY DO!

Why?

🟥 Can't build themselves
🟧 Lower risk
🟨 Head start

Go build something for them!

#buildinpublic

Indie hackers, bootstrappers, #womenintech, #buildinpublic crew, and #nocode fam... it's time we rallied for our girl, @LaceyKesler!

Lacey gives out so much to this community, the least we can do is pay it back with an upvote and a comment on PH! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Been working on something HUGE these past couple of months, and today I FINALLY get to tell you about it! 🎉

In February, I teamed up with @LeviBrackman to transform securities crowdfunding.

Meet the new and improved Invown (@invown1) 👇

Goooood morning, folks!

It's the magic hours before 9am where my only responsibilities are to walk the dogs, feed the birds, and drink tea.

Oh, and work on Many Many Prompts, of course!

Here's my progress this morning 👇

#buildinpublic

Want to follow along? 🫶

I'm going to #buildinpublic to try to spread the word about the project.

Follow @barkerdestefano so you don't miss anything!

Holy shit. I just updated the generative AI features in @tabithadotai from GPT-3 to GPT-3.5 Turbo AND IT IS INSANELY GOOD.

So much faster. And way better responses.

I LOVE THIS!

#buildinpublic #OpenAI

I worked really hard on getting this update live in the evenings this week!

Added a whole new generative AI feature and introduced a freemium pricing model! 😄

Proud of this one!

Let's hope it doesn't break... 👀

#buildinpublic #nocode

This is the most terrifying thing in my life right now 😂

#nocode #buildinpublic

Friday 5pm means my second workday is about to begin 💪

Tonight's tasks:

☐ Finish new AI assistant feature for @tabithadotai
☐ Adjust sign up flow to allow for freemium users
☐ Fix everything I inevitably break
☐ Email users to tell them about updates

#buildinpublic

I'm working on some BIG upgrades for @tabithadotai today, requiring:

🔧 Sidebar nav updates
🔧 Option set restructuring
🔧 New tabs in the single page app

Anddd...

🔧 min. 3 new @OpenAI API implementations

Trying hard to future proof with each change 😂

#buildinpublic

Ah, I've missed these tiny joyful pings arriving on my phone 😂

New SaaS launching soon and tonight I got my first sale for the closed betaaaa 🤙🤙

#buildinpublic #nocode

Absolutely stoked to see heylexi on the first page of @starter_story! Our feature got published today 🎉

Can you help me spread the word, please? Likes/RTs massively appreciated!

@TylerWDreher You're more than welcome! Really like what you're building and happy to provide feedback. And you're right - this is definitely one of the huge benefits of #buildinpublic!
