Anyone who has bootstrapped a startup knows that the job isn't done when you launch.

Here is our post-launch roadmap: bit.ly/3xVhMsx

The focus has shifted from development of the product/service to getting paying customers.

#buildinpublic #startuplife

twitMate is go 🚀🚀🚀

There is an early-bird discount in place for our first customers - it is a whopping 70% off for life!

#startup #launching #buildinpublic

A few more invites to waitlist members sent out today - more going soon!

#buildinpublic #startup

First paying customer 🎉🎉🎉

Sent an invite to the first waitlist member this morning and they signed up for a yearly subscription to our 'essential plan' which is audience management only.

Really pleased with this - more invites going out soon.

#buildinpublic #startup

Last night's job - switching payments over from test mode to live mode.

Getting close 🏁

#buildinpublic #indiedev

The audience management service is up and running for our first beta tester.

One small bug found and fixed during the process: beta testing is a good idea 🧠

#webdeveloper #buildinpublic

Our first public beta tester has successfully completed sign-up and onboarding 👏

#buildinpublic #startup

We reached a major milestone today: all major development completed!

Just sent out invites to some pre-arranged beta testers who are testing sign-up and onboarding.

Getting close to 🚀

#buildinpublic #SocialMediaManagement

Today we're working on image uploads...

Part of the twitMate service involves us sourcing images for customer's tweets but we're aware some customers will want to use their own images.

Therefore upload functionality as part of customer onboarding.

#buildinpublic #webdev

Made good progress on 'customer onboarding' today.

Completed the section where new users pass us the information needed for us to tweet for them and the URLs of their landing pages so we can include them in tweets.

#buildinpublic #twitterManagementService

Today's #webdevelopment was productive 🧑‍💻

Built the entire 'audience management' section of customer onboarding. This is where we get the information needed to target the correct audience for the customer.

#buildinpublic #coding

More progress made on customer onboarding today.

Nearly through all options for getting the customer connected to the Twitter API. In most cases this will be completed within 3 clicks!

#buildinpublic #userexperience

Today's job: start developing customer onboarding. Good progress made but still a lot to do.

#buildinpublic #webdevelopment

This afternoon I completed the plan for 'customer onboarding', where we will get the info we need from new customers to set up their accounts.

I prefer my flow-charts old-school 🎨

#buildinpublic #webdesigner

Today's job: plan customer onboarding.

Specifically draft questions to get the information we need to connect a customer's account with the Twitter API.

#buildinpublic #webapp

Big milestone reached on the path to launch - payments & subscriptions system complete!

Next up customer onboarding, check out our roadmap: twitmate.com/blog/developme…

#buildinpublic

This afternoon: battle with Stripe docs to integrate discount coupons🧑‍💻

This will save time down the road: we can just change the coupon to update prices of all plans

We're starting with 75% off for waitlist joiners but this goes up post launch

#buildinpublic #payments #webdev

Here's the flow chart for new user sign-ups: from plan choice, to payment, through on-boarding to dashboard access.

I'm old-school when it comes to this kind of planning and prefer pen and paper✍️

#buildinpublic #webdeveloper #startuplife

We reached a milestone today: the dashboard and login system went live 🚀

Check out our development roadmap to see how far we've come and what's left to do twitmate.com/blog/developme…

#buildinpublic #websitedevelopment

Today's job: develop the main dashboard page.

i.e. where you view, edit & delete your scheduled tweets before they are posted to Twitter.

It was a pretty quick job because a lot of it was already developed for the demo: bit.ly/3h6Fz3z
