@mistermeenr @dagorenouf @randomshenans I've been meaning to mention, #buildinpublic HR hit me up and said they need to have a talk with you 😬

taking this opportunity during a pivot to go from planetscale / prisma back to mongo

Nothing wrong with those services but I just find myself spending too much time trying to figure things out

Just wanna move fast with something I know well 🚀

#buildinpublic

starting to contract for my previous employer a couple days a week to keep the dream alive

#buildinpublic

Figma question for my designer friends, when would you use a Frame over a Component, and vice versa?

#buildinpublic

After some good feedback, experimenting with credits based pricing

#buildinpublic

not sure why, but I consistently get more engagement on indiehackers than here on twitter...

I'm assuming its because I have little to no audience at this point, just something I've noticed

Anyone else have this experience?

#buildinpublic

Welp...couldn't put it off forever! 😂

Check out the beta of what I've been working on at iconwell.io

#buildinpublic

Welp...couldn't put it off forever 😅

Check out the beta over at app.iconwell.io

#buildinpublic

not...not the product...
we talking about marketing???

#buildinpublic

when your elevator pitch needs some work

@well_icon in the early days 😂

#buildinpublic #icons

celebrating the small wins today! 😂 baby steps

#buildinpublic

my ultimate vision is users being able to craft their own unique icon style and letting @well_icon handle everything else

how round or sharp
how simple or complex etc.

starting with something much simpler, but the building blocks are getting there😊

#buildinpublic

anyone launched on any of those beta platforms? are they worth the effort?

Betalist etc.

Only seems like products are getting ~5 votes etc.

#buildinpublic

Last feature needed before heading into fine tuning mode for @well_icon!

Matching a users icon set to one of our pre-built ML models

Was extra hyped to get this running in a web worker...
was basically crashing the browser tab when I had it in the main thread

#buildinpublic

any other #buildinpublic folk doing their own ML training?

#machinelearning

For the marketers / sales folk asking if they could use IconWell to change the color

Should've just launched an icon color tool MVP like 7 months ago 😂

#buildinpublic

quickly view (auto-generated) variations of your icon

Really excited about the potential of offset configs -- more to come on those later

#buildinpublic

my mindset right now

simplify

#buildinpublic

I find startup advice like parenting advice

Its helpful, but every child / startup is different, every founder / parent is different, every environment is different

Its often not til you’re in it, that you start to see whats working or not

#buildinpublic

upgrading my mvp status to "days away"

2 weeks away -> many months
1 week away -> ~month
days away -> 🤷‍♂️😂
