for those of you doing #buildinpublic:

is twitter dying or due for a revival?

🚀🚀🚀
Let this be a good sign for what's to come
#buildinpublic

A close competitor raised 4.3M 🤯

We independently came to the same product conclusions as them, without even knowing. 🧠<->🧠

Huge confidence boost but also increased sense of urgency 🎢

Heyhey! Do you use Google Ads and want to volunteer some data? (shared privately with only me)

In exchange I'll provide you with expert-backed AI insights on how to increase clicks and conversions.

Holy wow!

Today I did my first-ever startup pitch (for an incubator).

"I'm not convinced, but I'll err on the side of optimism and invite you to the next round"

A reluctant yes is still a yes!!! 💪🎉

#buildinpublic

free drag and drop landing page for a startup > a month building it from scratch🙃 esp. BEFORE validation!

I've can highly recommend ycode, it's a bit glitchy but has a generous free tier and better than webflow!

#buildinpublic

Do you ever flip between promoting your project, and keeping it hush-hush?

Decided to keep things low-key until I bring an MVP out

#buildinpublic

Heyo twitter! Is there an accelerator/bootcamp/seed funding community here? 💸

I've been enjoying the bootstrap community but looking to expand my horizons 🔎

#saas

I just spent 2h in NPM dependency hell, but at least I finally updated my site 🆕

People that
#buildinpublic (or do secret side projects):

What are the KPIs you actually care about? Is there something missing from this list?

📈 MRR
♻️ Churn
🎯 Content hits
🪤 CTR
👉 Ad clicks

Recently I've gotten super hyped up about some startup ideas but then they sound lame the next day 😅

Maybe I got better at validating?
#buildinpublic

What do y'all host your projects on?

🚪Server in your closet?
🐳 Self hosted docker spaghetti?
🗄️ Managed service (firebase/supabase?)

#buildinpublic

Trying to weight the options. Firebase is nice but gets $$$ as it scales, and I don't want to make my own backend

Day 1 of my self-learning journey "reboot"

done:
✅ binge watched / read all of @levelsio content
✅ made a rough learning plan
✅ found 3 interesting courses

todo:
🔲 re-read MAKE book
🔲 pick a course and start it

will post updates to stay accountable
#buildinpublic

There are so many resources to learn entrepreneurship -- is there one that stood out to you?

📚books
💻 online courses
🧑‍🎓online degrees?

Along the lines of MAKE and Mom Test?

#buildinpublic

Guess who was #1 on the HN front page today? 😏

That's right, Frobocode!!! 🎉
(for about an hour, before getting flagged to oblivion 🥲)
#buildinpublic

A couple people signed up to my app, gave their email, and then just.. didn't even try it for 1s?

What's the point lol
#buildinpublic

Behind the scenes:

How I'm deciding which features to build next
#buildinpublic

I did something I should've done much sooner: user personas!

Which one are you?
#buildinpublic

Thanks so much for your support today on Product Hunt!

🎉

Frobocode is technically a course, so wasn't approved for the featured page (TIL). But I'm still very happy at the level of support from the #buildinpublic community
