500 followers! 🪩 wham, bam, thank you fam 🥹

fun fact ✱ orcas are my favorite aminal despite being boat-scuttling ruffians ⛵🐬

not-so-fun fact ✱ I went whale-watching in Seattle just to see them and they were discourteous no-shows 😭

this (short) week's action plan ↓

#buildinpublic day 139 ✱ rest 🎮

I spent most of the long weekend playing nonstop Diablo, but also came across #HallsofTorment by @Chasing_Carrots 💀🏹

I'm a huge sucker for survivor roguelites, not to mention the old-school art style is 🔥

#buildinpublic day 138

it's so surreal to see something I created being used by the community 🙈

on the one hand it's validating & very encouraging ✨

but on the other, I almost feel undeserving? if that makes sense? 🫠

is this pretty standard fare or is my brain a putz? 🧠🫵

Bawk Box's workflow from order to template delivery was a bit cuckoo 🐔

I nixed some superfluous steps & linked directly to the form, making orders more intuitive 🦤

Still room for improvement, especially with image generation delay, but it's molting! 🪶

I used After Effects for the first time to make an animation on the mobile website to give it more oomph 💥

It's also a solution to not having a foolproof way to include high-quality images on mobile 🖼️

My flatlining MRR is moving from the boonies to the bigtime 🎬 twitter.com/d4m1n/status/1…

#buildinpublic day 133

I discovered a super neat tool recently for #design → vectorizer.ai 🎨

It's especially great at upscaling images and smoothing artifacts 🖼️

Definitely feels like one-click magic! ✨

#buildinpublic day 131 ✱ rest 📼

I just finished the final season of Barry & can't cope 🥺

I'm partial to dark comedies & it's easily among my all-time favorites 🖤

others include Better Call Saul, Patriot, Succession & Fleabag 😍

I'm curious if you have any recommendations?

I spent all dang day playing #DiabloIV and it was ✨glorious✨

thanks so much for the encouraging words and supportive vibes 💛

#buildinpublic day 129

I really wanted to launch my side project tonight for my own sanity.

but it has been masterfully sabotaging my every effort.

I need to take the weekend to recuperate.

I'm beyond burnt out and am just an ashy pile 💀

#buildinpublic day 128

May growth ↓

Late to the party since analytics are on the fritz 🙄

Luckily there's @sidebird_io to verify new followers 🐤 but I had to dust off the ol' brainzo to add up number of tweets 🧠

Who heckin knows about the rest 😤

#buildinpublic day 127

I may have bit off a tad more than I can chew with this side project 😬

It has a gazillion moving parts sandwiched between a time constraint 🥪

I'm nearly done, but jeez louise is the learning curve steep.

Rising and grinding sure ain't sustainable 🫠

#buildinpublic day 126

So #DiabloIV just released yesterday 🎮

It's been a STRUGGLE to spurn playing while I finish this side project 🥴

How do you resist *really* tempting distractions? 🆘

*trumpets* 🎺 The esteemed @domng_me has returned!

I'm super excited to see him in the community again as he was one of my very first #buildinpublic frens 🥹✨

Really intrigued to see how @feder_ai has changed 👀

Below he shares how he's grown his SaaS to $800 MRR 💪↓ twitter.com/domng_me/statu…

My submission for @TheWeb3Cat's #cookinpublic challenge! ↓

Carne asada street tacos with mango salsa 🌮

A client gifted me a box of Manila mangoes earlier this week 🥭 Plus flank steak from my local butcher's a household staple 🥩

So good 🤤 twitter.com/TheWeb3Cat/sta…

I've always found this quote helpful, though I'm terrible at practicing it 🙈

I'm a longtime, world-class ruminator 🫠🥇

complex, project-related problems are like a bear trap for my brain 🪤

how do you work out conundrums without obsessing?
