Tweet Tribe’s new list page (on mobile).

I made the lists much more compact and added added a new context menu, ready for fun things to come!

#BuildInPublic
I've thought of a cool idea to rocket engagement and reach for your Tweets.

Building it into @TweetTribeApp

Here's a hint: What if Tweet Tribe, had Tribes?

I got the idea while watching @dagorenouf's Twitter course, so cheers Dago!

#BuildInPublic
I need to start running jobs periodically across all subscribed users...

I'm thinking of creating a cron-triggered lambda that queues up a bunch of user IDs in SQS and then another lambda that pulls from that queue and runs the job for that user.

Thoughts?

#BuildInPublic
And this is what we've ended up with.

There are some tweaks needed to improve the UX, and no doubt a bug or two to be found, but I'm happy with the result!

#BuildInPublic
I made it easy to add new commands (like mentions) to the tweet box and used it to add emojis when you type a colon!

A feature that I love in slack, and miss on Twitter.

UX needs some improvements, but I can polish this all later.

Onto the next feature.

#BuildInPublic
Good morning #BuildInPublic folks!

Carrying on where I left off last night, building a new tweet box from scratch for @TweetTribeApp!

I spent some time upgrading the counter to include a progress ring.
Let's try something new in #BuildInPublic land.

Over the next day or two, I'll live-tweet building a new feature for @TweetTribeApp.

I will make a tweet box from scratch with all the bells and whistles. Not a simple task, but should be fun!

All in this 🧵
How's marketing week going?

Monday: IndieHackers post + Twitter things
Tuesday: Reddit post + Twitter things

I'm on a roll!

What should I do on Wednesday?

#BuildInPublic
I made sure that @TweetTribeApp works great on mobile too 😊

The network page needs some love, but actions, lists, and feeds work a charm!

One more thing on the list to improve!

#BuildInPublic
🚀I'm getting back on the marketing game this week.

So, this lunchtime, risotto🍲 in hand, I whipped up a pricing section for tweettribe.com.

Very simple, but hopefully it provides the information people need.

#BuildInPublic
This morning's release for @TweetTribeApp

🔥User-defined lists
🔥Faster feed pages
🔥Fixed feed page filters on mobile
🔥Fixed network tab not showing all list users

Not a bad pre-work hacking session.

#BuildInPublic
My project this weekend.

User-defined lists for @TweetTribeApp

This is something that a few of the first MVP cohort were keen on having, so I'm glad to have this in.

I'm going to do a bit more testing and then 🚢 it.

#BuildInPublic
The sun is shining, and the skies are blue.

It's the perfect day to stay inside and #BuildInPublic.

Starting with improving the user-defined lists feature that I whipped up yesterday for @TweetTribeApp.
Rode my bike up to a cafe to bang out a new feature.

Switching up my setting sometimes helps accelerate the process.

I also need a reason to get out of the house 😂

#BuildInPublic
I need help getting Twitter to pick up tweettribe.com's card image, which it isn't for some reason.

The image is there and can be crawled, the "twitter:image" meta is set...

Other platforms pick up the "og:image"... It's just Twitter.

Any ideas?

#BuildInPublic
There are a few features that I want to add to @TweetTribeApp before I do a marketing push.

These features are needed, trust me gov' 😂

- Page signup instructing to confirm email
- Cron jobs to auto-import tweets
- User-defined lists
- Better email templates

#BuildInPublic
A small update to @TweetTribe to ensure the page always scrolls so that the success message is at the top.

Small change, big improvement in UX.

#BuildInPublic
My serverless functions are now fully migrated to AWS lambda and are live.

The app is feeling snappier!

My app also got approved for the $1000 free credits from AWS Activate.

It's a good day.

#BuildInPublic
AWS lambda cold startup for my serverless functions is much faster than it was on GCP cloud functions.
