My vision for Goblin is to help you manage and improve your life with positive reinforcement and community support. Other apps want you to do more tasks per hour like a robot but we want you to be happier, feel progress, and gain resilience. ✨#buildinpublic

I’m going to add this Reddit post to my pitch deck—I couldn’t have said it better myself. I’m building Goblin App because modern life is overwhelming. #buildinpublic

Update: I generated 400 one sentence greetings and created a ton of images. It cost $1.10. The @OpenAI API is extremely easy to use. I made a bunch of variations on my Hype Goblin (now she can wear streetwear clothes 🥹). #buildinpublic twitter.com/goblin_tech_/s…

I'm working on using @OpenAI to create fresh Hype Goblin greetings every day and it's so 🔥🔥🔥 #buildinpublic

#BuildInPublic update (after ~3 months in private beta):
- 5 paid subscribers / $25 MRR
- 100 users
- 806 sidequests (tasks) created
- finally letting people in off the waitlist! (~300) 🪅
- on target to release public beta in January!
- 95 🐌s awarded
Thanks for your support 🙏

👂 Thoughts? Starting 1 week cycles inspired by the lean startup:
* Monday: interview users, set hypotheses for 1-2 experiments w metrics, code
* Tues-Thurs: build/code proof of concept(s)
* Friday: measure and evaluate results, share via #buildinpublic, prep ideas for next week

I just did my first "official" user interview for the Goblin app and I'm feeling so lucky that it was with @patricegorissen of @curbnit! She's a personal coach for entrepreneurs that emphasizes self-care/balance 🙌. Thanks Patrice! #buildinpublic

I can't find the tweet where @MillyTamati requested this but I am working on a @zapier integration where you get notifications in Goblin when you make money on @stripe and it is SO hilarious. app.usebubbles.com/ugtBVXSQ5PZZZs… @Snakecharmer #buildinpublic

I posted a quick #buildinpublic update (complete with a soundtrack ftring 2pac and Local Natives) re: how I feel guilty about charging customers.

When you finish your mission in Goblin, you see a mad libs-style story about yourself… now I get texts like this 😂 #buildinpublic

New Goblin App feature: add a dreamy goal and it'll show at the top of the page all the time. You can also associate Sidequests with the goal so you can monitor your progress on it. Not a goal person? Try putting words of affirmation there. #buildinpublic
