Lil’ Hoppers (@lil_hoppers) crossed Rs. 1,01,595 in booking 🥳🥳🥳

Thats ~ 1,200 USD

#buildinpublic

🕵️ Backoffice shipped

Now it shows the total paid bookings and total amount

Also lists all 🎟️bookings in a table

#buildinpublic

Slowly getting back to my side projects @tawsum :)

Using @wip as that's what helped me in the past to ship my side projects 🚀

#buildinpublic

I thought of going out today but the excitement after shipping something yesterday made me continue work on it something today as well:

--> Back office

This would lay a foundation of "admin" stuff, manage post, see revenue, semi-automate payouts, etc

#buildinpublic

🚀 Shipped today:

👶 Child’s age is required for booking.

This helps event organisers understand who is coming to their event.

This is the most requested item from organisers and feels good to have it shipped :)

#buildinpublic

🚀 Shipped in onesimpleblog.com

✉️ Added "Sign up for beta access" link which takes to account the registration form.

Used registration form instead of "waitlist" because:
✅ Email can be used to notify the customer
⛔️ No need for signup when it's ready

#buildinpublic

✉️ Just got a feedback about which fonts to use.

Noted. I'll add ability to select fonts for your blog.

Bloggers, Writers, Newsletter people, anything else you have as a "must haves" for your blog/newsletter?

#buildinpublic

🎨Noticed that About us page was not responsive and super hard to understand. So made it responsive: lilhoppers.in/about

#buildinpublic

It's live now -- onesimpleblog.com📝

Here is the pitch:
"Get a minimalist blog that works very well."

I'll try build it such a way that every single feature adheres to the above pitch.

Let's see how it evolves over years.

#buildinpublic

✅ Made ticket fee required if "min required ticket" is set by provider

#buildinpublic

🔗 Added a new link lilhoppers.in/fees which redirects to our Notion page notion.so/Lil-Hoppers-Ti…

link is shown in below places:

⇢ While creating/editing a post - with text Learn more about our ticketing platform

⇢ In the footer with text Fees

#buildinpublic

This week I'm working on @onesimpleblog 📝

- Starting from scratch with a new rails app
- Will be using it to power the @lil_hoppers blog

#buildinpublic

☑️Added the checkbox to accept TOS in lilhoppers.in/users/sign_up

Note: Its not handled for existing users. We could show a banner with accept tos for existing users once they login.

(one of the things that should have been there since day 1)

#buildinpublic

Also created a #whatsnew channel in Slack so @ahilapillai and @singhal_shruti knows what I'm shipping 😎

(will have a public page at some point using whatsnew.co)

#buildinpublic

@lil_hoppers 🚀 Shipped:

Providers ask for parent's phone number but we don't collect phone number yet

So here is the quick solution:

- pull the phone from payment gateway
- update users table with phone
- include phone in the booking details email sent to provider 🎉

#buildinpublic

🚀 Shipped in lilhoppers.in:

💳 —> Booking system and accepting payments using @Razorpay. It was waaay simpler compared to @gocashfree since they have official ruby gem

🎨 —> Some design improvements to cards in homepage and post details page

#buildinpublic

I feel like working (and launching) a new side project this weekend.

Any suggestion on what to build?

Few thoughts:
1 — a super simple blogging platform ($10/year/blog)

2 — a platform to follow your favourite companies and their product announcements 📣

#buildinpublic

✅ Added "Service Providers" section to dashboard so that user see the profiles they created

🏦 Providers can now update their payout details.

💳 Also started working on creating a "Vendor" in @gocashfree when adds payout details. (unfortunately no Ruby gem 😭)

#buildinpublic

✅ Added a Dashboard section with
- Account (to update email, password)
- Logout

⏳ Next:
- Add "Provider Services" to Dashboard.

#buildinpublic

@tryhifive Rest of the Saturday I'll be working on @lil_hoppers

💳 Goal is to the integrate payment gateway @gocashfree

We are using @linear for this project

(long time Basecamp user here 👋 and still using it for other projects and at work)
