Refactored the UI for the translation and pronunciation buttons on Gliglish.com. Motivation:

1. Make them more visible so people use them πŸ‘€
2. Make room for new features coming soon ✨

Gliglish is now getting popular in Italy, thanks to a TikTok video again.

I could have spent more of time doing (annoying) cold outreach.

Instead: spent it making the product better ➑️ Which should hopefully make it worth covering by more people on TikTok! πŸ”₯

Spent hours contacting TikTokers the other day… Only 1 replied, asking for $500.

I wonder if it makes sense to do outreach.

If people find and like my product, they end up talking about it.
But if I contact them about it, they try to get paid.

New Pronunciation Feedback feature…

I could blame my slight French accent, but I'll just blame the background noise πŸ˜…

🚒 Releasing the feature later today on Gliglish.com

πŸ“• Finally ordered these 😁

Read Refactoring last year and it helped me pay more attention to writing proper code.

🎯 Goal: to write cleaner code to help me ship faster 🚒

In the process of adding pronunciation feedback to Gliglish.com Maybe it'll be a stand-alone product.

Here is "Wednesday"… pronounced with a French accent πŸ˜…

@SimpleAnalytic makes it super easy to compare traffic for several sites. Good luck getting this easily in GA.

Gliglish.com is outdoing my other sites (but for way less revenue for now):

The same 8 months of traffic data viewed monthly, daily and hourly…

(My finances followed the inverse curve πŸ˜‚)

Nice to see traction :)

202K views for a TikTok video covering Gliglish πŸ‘‰ viral in Brazil πŸ‘‰ 6.5K visitors for 28K visits

This is Bruno's most viewed video of all time on his channel (his 2nd video is at 49.7K views)

Didn't make any sale out of it yet.

Tempted to go the VC way with Gliglish… but I feel I'm already spending too little time on the product itself.

With a team you get more done…
…but raising funds, hiring, managing also suck your time.

Anyone who went down both paths?

Didn't post much lately: got my first business customer and our shared project is going live next week!

Anyone know how to find out which Instagram posts are sending traffic?

I tried googling and searching Instagram for 'gliglish' but no results.
