#buildinpublic

Yesterday I got everything done that I needed to get done.

Today is much lighter. It's Saturday aka Balance Day.

1. Workout
2. Do year-end review for my employer
3. A little light coding for my employer
4. Maybe go get a shave? And a beer?

#Balance

#buildinpublic

I am so happy I built my website paulineslist.org for me because this morning I woke up and went to my site, checked out YESTERDAY's financial news, and saw all sorts of news I would never see.

#buildinpublic

Sometimes I get down on myself b/c I'm not perfect.

I've been trying to be consistent in building my audience but I love hyperfocus. I love focusing on one thing till it's done.

That leads me to not tweet as much as I'd like to but I'm working on it. #honesty

Good Morning Builders --

So what am I building today?

1. Build an aggregation query in Elasticsearch
2. Integrate that query into Looker
3. Workout
4. Finish second half of aggregating a publisher for Pauline's List

What are you building today? #tech

... it as of now is not my ICP. So what will I do with this account and how will it affect paulineslist.org.

1. Use this account to #buildinpublic and talk about my journey, both, tech, marketing, and decision making/strategy to talk about my indie hacking journey.

#buildinpublic

So I was thinking about my marketing strategy. While paulineslist.org is a product that I want to be wildly successful I think every product relies on building a community. And while the #indiehacker community is a potential market ...

#buildinpublic

Good Morning Doers --

What I'm doing today:

1. Working through some testing in Elasticsearch
2. Working out
3. Finishing the initial test for adding a new publisher for paulineslist.org (watch this space)

#buildinpublic #indiehacker

Good morning people --

Over the last couple of days I've began pivoting paulineslist.org toward the financial community.

It will be a supermarket of publicly available financial news: a one stop shop for every reliable financial news source.

#buildinpublic #indiehackers

Good morning IHs--

Major announcement.

Now you can register at paulineslist.org, can see every article for three days, and now you can save articles to your own personal account.

That's right. You can save individual articles to read l8r.

#buildinpublic

So I just released a feature on paulineslist.org and now I'm having an issue because Amazon won't approve something I need in time.

But they surely approve those increases in AWS fees RIGHT AWAY.

#buildinpublic #indiehackers

So I just finished working at the office.

Now time to work on my dreams.

Here's the plan:

1. Build scss + display saved articles correctly
2. Add saved link to menu pages
3. Update main page to paulineslist.org 2.0

#buildinpublic

Good Morning --

For the next 14 days I have no social obligations so I'll be building aggressively.

But make sure you take some time for people. They keep you connected and are a font of new product ideas (after you execute on your current ideas of course).

#buildinpublic

This is why remote work is so powerful. Today I'm WFH and I just finished my work for the day.

But instead of commuting for an hour I get to take a quick break and then work on paulineslist.org.

WFH + Greater Productivity = WFO + Commute ~ Waste

#buildinpublic

Good Morning --

Off of vacation/build-a-thon, back to the day job, and then making my dreams come true.

Shout outs to my fellow Builder-Dreamers.

#buildinpublic

You know it's easy to think that everyone works everyday all day but it can't be true. I went out last night and I'm hung over.

I'm resting. At 5 or 6 I'll probably put in some effort but now I'm not.

It's important to know that people do rest.

GM Builders —

Today I’m going to do a bit of #scss programming. Hopefully i finish. But the priority is a haircut and the gym.

Today is about a little self care.

I worked six days on paulinelisr.org. Today is about me.

#balance

#buildinpublic

Here are my plans:

What's left ...

3. Workout (light)
4. Implement Front End Data Ingestion
5. Hopefully beer and maybe a haircut.

... we'll see ... 😅

@PierreDeWulf This is a very mature point of view. Now that you've built a business maybe build in public no longer works for you. Maybe you have to protect what you've built and share less.

This ironically may be one of the final lessons of BIP ... knowing when to stop.

#buildinpublic

#buildinpublic

I like to say, don’t have a business. Have a mission. Why? Because you can quit a business. But a mission you can’t quit.

So what defines a mission? What’s the difference between a business and a mission?

#buildinpublic

Good Morning. Whether it'll be a good day is up to you.

Here are my plans:

1. Finish back end script
2. Debug back end script
3. Workout (light)
4. Implement Front End Data Ingestion
5. Hopefully beer and maybe a haircut.
