A day of filming onboarding/tutorial videos for ordaloca.com. Although it has taken days to find software that suits my needs. Was surprised, but have gone with @reincubate and @ScreenFlow in the end.

Thoughts?

#buildinpublic

I think I might accidentally have created a component library for @OrdalocaHQ ! What started as a few components has grown in production 😳

You can find me on 🧵 too posting mainly about my #buildinginpublic #buildinpublic journey. 😘

Procrastination time... software for demos and tutorials. Looking for great, screen demo / presenter mix + quality editing. I have tried:

detail.co
screen.studio
loom.com
tella.tv

Any others I should try?

#buildinpublic

Spent a day building invoice PDFs system for Ordaloca.com and it's just been too much fun. With/without sales tax, discounts, refunds... ✋Stop it! It's just tooooo good.

(Especially when the sun has been out all day and the sea is warm)

It’s a privilege to have been fortunate enough to find a town we now call home. This is Exmouth, U.K. This spot is magical all year but especially on nights like tonight with my family.

For serenity this feels like a crucial yet slightly unspoken side of #buildinpublic

Just waiting for the QR code stickers now to customise the first 200 counter top table tents.

Building software for local businesses requires working on a lot of in-person media - which is a nice change 😀

It's quite fun being back doing a spot of print design. These are point of sale marketing for each Ordaloca business to promote their store at the counter.

Reverse is a referral code they can give to customers who may also want a store.

Great throwback day. I forgot just how much I love Nirvana 😍 #buildinpublic

Having built this #onboarding flow twice now for both Ordaloca and Datafiltr, I'm wondering who else could do with this as a #SaaS? 🤔

It's a simple in-app onboarding flow of step-by-step articles and tutorials with recorded progress.

4 orders processed in under 24 hours through Ordaloca 🙀

That's £2 platform revenue today 🤑

#buildinpublic

Our first testimonial for Ordaloca without asking for one!!! 😍☺️

#buildinpublic #shoplocal

We launched @OrdalocaHQ in #exmouth just a few weeks ago.

🤩 16 local businesses have registered
🏪 7 have actually launched a store
💶 we've processed over £130 in sales
🤑 we now have actual platform revenue (£1.40)

🎯 The aim is 50 businesses by May...

⚖️ The eternal balance of parenting and running a startup.

#buildinpublic

Customers are building their local stores. 🚀 It’s so great to watch, listen and learn from them. 👂👀

We’re moving into a nice flow of daily meet, tweak, fix etc.

Penny seems to be dropping too that this is to RUN a local biz not just sell stuff. #buildinpublic #nearcommerce

It's been a great week of speaking to customers. One of the fav bits is the simple order verification for customer pickups and deliveries. 🔐

A QR scanner in the web business app. Just saves some time and pain. Thanks to npmjs.com/package/react-… 🙏

#buildinpublic #shoplocal

📣 Don’t mean to brag but after a shitload of work for a long time we’ve done it…

Our first local business went live on Ordaloca.com and got its first £35 sell the same day.

Our first £0.20 ($0.24) revenue!🥹😊

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

#buildinpublic #startups

5 minutes before our Ordaloca.com launch event - as people were arriving - this happened 😅😂

#startups #buildinpublic #indiehackers #shoplocal

Are there privacy focussed analytics companies like Plausible, Fathom, GoSquared etc that are designed for platforms?

We need analytics for our whole platform, but want each business customer to have access to their own subset of data…

#indiehackers #buildinpublic #SaaS

📣 #BuildInPublic update.

Our first 5 local businesses launching Ordaloca stores in #Exmouth. All with mixed needs which is great. Subscriptions, bookings, product variants, mix and match products, POS, geo and address delivery, collection and more! 🤯🔥
