The mental game of #buildinpublic is the hardest for me, but...

I'd rather try and fail than to not try at all.

Maybe I'll continue to fail but at least I can look back and be happy with myself for giving things a go. 🫠
@_adam_barker @nicolasadamini It's not like I'm producing something totally unique in the market but there are some cool bits that differentiate the product.

Thing is, right now no one knows what I'm doing so I'm completely failing the whole #buildinpublic approach. πŸ€ͺ
Your opinions please. #buildinpublic πŸ™‚πŸ‘‡

I decided early on to NOT share all the details of the job board I've been working on.

It's not a niche product and I feel sharing all my good ideas could be easily copied by those already established in the sector.

What do you think?
VERY excited to be building a new project to start the year - a jobs board... with a twist. πŸ₯³

Despite being an extremely saturated market I hope that there's room for me. 🀞🏻

More details to follow😊

@nullroot69 Eep 🫠

Has that changed your outlook on #buildinpublic?
@elonmusk's #buildinpublic approach would be great if the tweets made sense to people outside of Twitter's technical circle πŸ˜…
To keep my gaming addiction at bay (🫣) I'll often watch Twitch whilst coding. 😊

I'm not as productive but it adds a chill vibe to the day if I'm not quite feeling it. πŸ’ͺ🏻

How about you?

#buildinpublic
Candidate profiles v. nearly complete inc. search and filtering.

Going to rustle up a simple message system between recruiters and candidates.

It's a bummer reinventing the wheel with something that's been done a mill. times but nec. for privacy (+ trust). πŸ˜…

#buildinpublic
When a customer messages you with a silly support query you're given an opportunity to impress them.

Blow them away with your response so that they're sure to tell their friends how great you and your product are.

😊

Am I the only one who doesn't like the constant zooming in and out animations on #buildinpublic vids.?

I want to see how your product works so don't clip off half the UI. 🫣

It is a really nice effect when done right but eep!
It's more difficult as a backend dev. to #buildinpublic IMO.

People like seeing things.

If you're like me and start building the behind the scenes magic then you don't have a lot to share to begin with. 🫠

Build a pretty UI with nothing behind it and people get excited. πŸ€ͺ
Agency work finished for the week - time to build πŸ₯³

Working on candidate profiles + CV uploads and cont. jobs filtering over the next couple of days.

What are you working on? πŸ™‚

Hope you're having a productive week so far!

@MarkusEicher70 Oh! I am always surprised by the diversity of backstories and lifestyles in the #buildinpublic community.

Ooo, I'm a big Ansible fan. I do keep my app deployments separate/decoupled from Ansible though. I use it solely to configure server software.

AMAZING bit of kit though 😊
Whether you're an Indie or you work remotely, it's a lonely ol' world sometimes. 🫣

I hope at least one of my tweets this year helps you through a tough time. πŸ€—

We need far more mental health posts and support in the developer world. πŸ₯ΉπŸ‘‡πŸ»

I'm parking this idea for now and taking this weekend to think about my other ideas and plan out my work over Christmas.

Sorry for the heartfelt tweets. I'm sure these feelings are shared by many of us at one time or another.

Hope everyone has a great/productive weekend! πŸ™‚4/4

If you didn’t achieve everything this year then there’s always next year. 😊

Here’s to an exciting year ahead. πŸ₯³

I hope we all achieve our aspirations. πŸ€—

As part of my #buildinpublic journey I'm going to try and focus more on my personal presence.

I'm genuinely curious to know how people divide their time and approach between marketing themselves vs their products?

For ex. @tdinh_me ~63k vs @blackmagic_so ~6.5k followers.
I've been coding up a newsletter signup flow in Laravel this arvo. It's super basic but customisable. I hope to get it packaged up and shared to save others some time πŸ‘πŸ»

No unnecessary 3rd party services will be touching my customer's data...πŸ€ͺ

Lost a couple of days to house chores last week πŸ€ͺ so a slow week/no updates from me. 🫣

Looking forward to some busy me/Indie building days.

What are you working on this week? #buildinpublic
