Added some ui improvements to tweetweaver.com to make it super usable on mobile. The quick popup menu is perfect for fast navigation and streaming your ideas for tweets fast as well as a quick search for all challenges/drafts/scheduled. #buildinpublic#indiehackers
d29 #buildinpublic Spent the day rebuilding the editor and it’s very close to being done. I can’t wait to release it! Spent some time away from Twitter as well which has dialled in my focus 🧘♂️ .
Finally had a big breakthrough on a problem I was having on tweet weaver. Unfortunately sometimes these things take time and you just have to grind things out. Hopefully a big change will get pushed in tomorrow. #buildinpublic
...got ...nearly....a week off work.... WOOO 🥳 time to make some progress on tweet weaver! I’ve got big goals for this time off and I’ll be doing it all in public! #buildinpublic
Some feedback I'm going to be working on when I get some spare time this week. courtesy of @tomfallowfield and @ModestMitkus. It hurts to hear the truth sometimes but it's extremely helpful.
I ended up paying for tiptap but who would have thought the world of text editors are so complicated and in depth. I underestimated how long media upload features would take on the editor. Buidl in the long run will be better. Must. Finish.
Spent the day experimenting with new text editors for buidl. I wasted a fair bit of time going with tiptap and went to implement emoji support 😢, turns out you have to pay.
Abstracted and refactored a whole of routes to accomodate for media uploads. I'll get the whole day to get media support into the routes on top of this.
I slapped things together when I first started and don't feel bad about only refactoring now.
In a large market if you cover the shortfalls of your competitors there is room for everyone at the table.
A hot tip I heard recently is reading the reviews/forums of similar products and target the customers problems that they can't move fast enough to serve.
Got the walkthrough down today so now I have an onboarding process! Checkout the video out below. Now onto a bunch of small little tasks, then media support which should take a couple days.
