#buildinpublic - need your inputs on something neat I saw on blog.yossarian.net.

This blog also has a subreddit followed by a handful of people. Blogposts are also shared in the sub and discussion is encouraged.

If you write blogs, does this workflow interest you?
I think another pivot in PretzelBox's positioning is needed.

While it IS
- an email inbox for your domain✅
- and like Hey.com lets you blog from your email✅
- and acts as a file store✅
the current positioning is not working.

#buildinpublic
Onboarding the first group of users of PretzelBox's shared inbox. Hope they like it.

#buildinpublic
@PretzelBoxcc is back in beta ß while we work on a few things.

Plus, I may have a someone joining the team soon
☝️🏽===>✌️🏽. Will make the intros soon, #buildinpublic fam.
Whatever happened to the build in public bot which used to retweet everything tagged #buildinpublic?
🚀Feature alert🚀
You know how you can use Imgur without an account to share images but if you lose the link, your upload is basically unrecoverable?
@PretzelBoxcc neatly solves that-
1. Email your images to [email protected]
2. We'll reply with shareable links
#buildinpublic
OMG OMG OMG, I have an MRR...someone liked @PretzelBoxcc enough to want to pay me to use it! How wacky is that?!?

I'm not sure I'm adequately conveying the Oh mY GoOdNesS of it but yeah...

#buildinpublic
I’m in that stage of my project where I have my main Tw account and a Tw account for the project but neither of them have much engagement so I RT and ♥️ from one account to the other without shame 💪🏽

How about you, #buildinpublic crew?
#buildinpublic redid the @PretzelBoxcc website content based on invaluable feedback from @vitobotta and @mrdandanaka.

For now, focusing on a very specific niche of YouTubers and Instagrammers who're looking to build their own website

pretzelbox.cc
Sent my first emails inviting people on our beta list to a chat to discuss how @PretzelBoxcc can help them
🤞🏽

#buildinpublic
Time to migrate my Moogle email to @PretzelBoxcc. #dogfooding #buildinpublic

I hate to be that guy BUT PRETZELBOX LOOKS 🔥
You *could* listen to the audio but be warned that it's super late here and I'm half asleep so it's mostly mumble, mumble but I didn't want to close the day without sharing an update with #buildinpublic, so here goes 👇🏽
Here's a first look at PretzelBox at the end of day 1.

I am building it using @sveltejs and Bulma. Gotto say that Svelte really has been smooth, much smoother than my first few days with React!

(What's PretzelBox? Pretzelbox is an inbox for your domain.)

#buildinpublic
#buildInPublic a first look at PretzelBox - the inbox for your domain.
1. Buckets - the strip on top lists buckets. Incoming emails sit in buckets defined by the TO email address
2. CDN: all your public facing images/files
3. Bookmarks: shareable emails
4. Blog/Fwd rules: 👇🏽
Alright, time for the morning coding session while the wife and Bebe sleep.

Need to design the PretzelBox itself and figure out admin interface. I’m leaning towards an admin panel free UX. Let’s see.

#buildinpublic
Had a loooooong sales call yesterday about @pretzelbox w/ another small club which wants an online presence to push info to members. I think that’s going to be Pb’s sweet spot => clubs, instructor led classes, restaurants

#buildinpublic #marketingstrategy #sales
The morning coding session is over. The backend logic to power email forwarding is done.
Off to bed so I’m not a zombie during the day

#buildinpublic
Midday report:
1. From 5-7AM - coding
2. 11AM - 1PM - wrote a high level, technical overview of PretzelBox @ pretzelbox.notion.site/How-PretzelBox…

Still neglecting cold outreach 😅 BUT this tweet by @benbarbersmith gave me wings because pb can do this!

#buildinpublic
Indie hackers! Help!

Does your product allow users to upload images (e.g. for profile pics or banners)?

If so, what do you use for processing, storage, and serving? A cloud storage bucket? A CDN? A special image CDN?

What do you recommend?
I really need to do a lot of writing and cold outreach today. Coding and feature development is my safe space but that won't pay the bills, having paying customers will!

Plus, writing down/about everything as I'm coding will be the de facto docs for future me

#buildinpublic
Looks like going all in on Twitter to talk about PretzelBox (@PretzelBoxcc) is working. Traffic to the site is up 150% thought on a small base.

Thanks #buildinpublic team for taking a look!
I'm so chuffed about how we are handling sorting of incoming emails in LIFO order for @PretzelBoxcc.
It's downright elegant and uses core S3 features to guarantee consistency with a little app level pixie dust to make it even better. Will share details soon!
