We finally got our customer support issues organized 🥳.

I feel so much better now. Tomorrow, I can do deep work to make progress on core issues 💪

🏞️ GIF Fills

The video below shows a decomposing a gif into individual frames, to later be combined into our GIF export.

That's right, a GIF inside of a GIF. Inception style... take that Leo! 🤣

Happy Friday! > $100MRR 🤩

What a nice way to "ease into" the weekend.

Thank you, everyone 🙏🍻.

First, pass above the fold idea.

What do you think?

I'm going to try to flush out more content and product pages, and come back and do more tweaks.

#buildinpublic

Landing Page building time 😱

Does it always feels scary, like building a resume, or is it just me?

#buildinpublic

The fun part about #buildinpublic is looking back and seeing how far you have come. 🤩

Naming any business is hard.

Maybe it's time to try it in public #buildinpublic.

We are building tools to make product designers' lives amazing.

This is one option we were throwing around 👇

Designer friends, time for another Figma Plugin 🤩

Export prototype to video/gif 🎞

My friend @sohei1L & I, invite you to join us on this live 48-hour build thread 🧵

🛠 Day 366-373 - Contract + Events

Been busy with contract work and events:
2x Student Talks 📣
1x Organizing Startup drinks 🍻
1x Organizing Halloween party 🎃

Been able to tame the contract work a little now the platform has been launched.

🛠 Day 365 - Figma Design 👩‍🎨

Had a fun day designing the flow for Conceptual in Figma (gosh, I love that product).

Why not just code?

I do have a lot of the technical pieces in a POC state. Now I need to bring them all together.

Design helps achieve clarity.

🛠 Day 364 - Research

Spent the day researching what problems designers face & what they ask for.

Used that knowledge to brainstorm ideas with @sohei1L to work on a fun project together 😁.

Found a few exciting golden nuggets 🥇

Psst, designers 🤙

🛠 Day 357-363 - Cashflow 💰

Oct 1 was my trigger for 6-months runway.
Given we are in recession for the next 12-18 months, I decided to focus on cashflow.

Thus, I started a contract 3-days week. The scope turned out to be larger than I expected.

🛠 Day 352-356 - Figma Gradients Plugin 🌈

Last week, I built a tool for developers to make it easier to work with Figma files.

It was a test of Open Source as a distribution strategy.

This week, I wanted to help designers and try Figma plugin publishing.

#buildinpublic

🛠 Day 351 - People 👩🧑

Started a co-founder search and had a few great conversations.

Went to a few networking events and talked to founders & designers 😁.

This will be my post-indie hacker life. The team ❤️.

Appreciate intros if you know someone.

🛠 Day 345-347 - Figma News 😱

Finally, I figured out how to import and modify Figma content.

As I was celebrating, tragedy. Our beloved design tool was bought by Adobe 😭.

After 24 hours of shock, I decided to act and help designers prepare for the worst.

#buildinpublic

🛠 Day 343-344 - Post Vacation 🌴

System shock between 12-2am. All my todos entered my head at once, and with it all the worry.

When I woke up, I decided to focus my YC application. Yes, not fun, but impactful.

#buildinpublic

Completed my YC Application draft and video 🥳.

Time to go for a walk + snack and review it later. 4 more hours to go...

Love to hear what you think of the video. Share your below 😁

🛠 341-342 Day - Rendering Engines ⚙️

Tested out several approaches to get Figma to render and modify content outside of the official editor.

I found a way to balance accuracy, stability and performance 🤩. I can't wait for you to try it.

🛠 Day 340 - PM Breakdown

Sometimes a task that seems simple grows much larger.

In this case, users were confused when they first started using the app. I thought a simple tutorial would help.

2-weeks later and it is clear it is not yet done.

@conceptual_so #buildinpublic

📢 Day 336-339 - People 💜

Went to a 2-day conference @TractionConf_io and talked to 50 incredible people. It was a blast.

Met CMOs, CEOs, CTOs, VCs, Founders and more.

Then it took two days to follow up with everyone 🤣.

Was it worth it?
