Roast My Site might fail, but I have learned so many things in 1 month that I’m so grateful I took the leap.

So many things I didn’t know about, and still do. It’s humbling and equally energizing. I’m better prepared for what’s next!

Let’s see what happens 👀

#buildinpublic

Quick question… should I launch?! #buildinpublic

Also, here’s the coworking space I visited today. Will come back :D

What’s your SEO checklist to help get better results from the go?

For me, it looks like:
✅ robots.txt + sitemap
✅ link previews (at least for landing)
✅ site metadata
✅ content (blog posts etc)

But I’m just a newbie. I want to learn more about SEO!

Happy #buildinpublic saturday!

What are you up to today?

Just added a caching layer to my queries and my app is loading a lot faster now! Few more checks and I'll share it around here 🔥

Don't want to do it yet as I think the DB will get quite stressed haha

Got lots of nice websites to roast, thanks for sharing them peeps!

I’ve got a bit of a backlog but will make it my task for the next few days.

I love the #buildinpublic community!

Here’s a photo of the Eiffel Tower, our main adventure today. Walked almost 20k steps 💀

👋🏼 If you have a public landing page, I’d love to roast it — give you honest feedback 🔥

Share your landing’s URL here!

@MrNick_Buzz you’re a roast pro. What are some landing pages I should check out?

(Preferably makers with smaller audiences)

@SamNewby_ Hopefully me :)

Making good progress for a launch with basic MVP. Was working on 1 app but pivoted to something I think will resonate well with the #buildinpublic audience.

Are there indies who had full-time / 9-5 jobs but went part-time to support their own products?

Seems like it would be a neat idea: Have a stable cash flow at reduced work hours, and you can focus more deeply on your own work.

#buildinpublic #indiehackers

Sup indies! Sun's out and it's my last day in the Netherlands, so I'm going to explore some museums and walk lots more.

Will be back this evening to explore integrating @northflank with my products; hoping to find that deploy tool that has most of what I need.

#buildinpublic

@Jaan Join us in #buildinpublic :D

Also working on my 1st startup. The only way to find out is to ship 🚢

May update 🌞

🌱 Started indie hacking
👋 Met nice people on Twitter
💻 Began prototyping my own ideas
✨ Learned the concepts of biz dev

#indiehackers #buildinpublic

Indies, what are hobbies you’re starting to pick up? 🌱

Personally, I got into film photography last year. Yesterday I got this small film camera built in 1972, a true relic!

I love old tech, 2nd photo is the viewfinder. Wicked UI!

#buildinpublic #indiehackers

The cast of Ted Lasso roasted my (upcoming) landing page!

I think I agree with their thoughts...

#buildinpublic

Did some work + indie dev from the public library today!

The best part: found a way to simplify my development and reduce cognitive overload, allowing me to iterate faster.

Very important when working 9-5. Our limitation welcomes creativity!

#buildinpublic

A few people have signed up for my waitlist. I want to email them a video of my progress and ask for feedback.

What email messaging/marketing platforms should I look for? Looking for something with a free tier to try before I buy 😄

#buildinpublic

I like the idea of having 2+ projects to work on at the same time. Stuck with one? Hop on to the next!

I might do the same after finalizing the demo I’m working on. Could be a fun way to pick a simpler stack to stick with for the long term as well.

#buildinpublic

@jimmyk2084 I feel it's quite easy to feel behind by the number of talented people you find in the #buildinpublic space. They're shipping super fast, I'm going slow like a snail.

One day at a time though 🌱

@jimmyk2084 I’ve got a partner too, and work full time. I definitely feel we have to make time for everything and everyone we care about, so that might mean taking it slow with the #buildinpublic work, one day at a time.

At least that’s what I’m trying to do :)

I've been tweaking my site copy and talking to potential clients. A few people have joined the waitlist, so I'm pushing the demo further 🌱

Had some trouble with the auth steps and trying to hide non-public pages from the crowd, but nothing that can't be fixed!

#buildinpublic

Domain = acquired
Analytics = connected
Site = launched
DNS = sorted
SEO thumbnails = not loading yet

Waiting for a bit more web propagation before sharing it here :)

Off to sleep!
