Just waiting for the QR code stickers now to customise the first 200 counter top table tents.

Building software for local businesses requires working on a lot of in-person media - which is a nice change πŸ˜€

Our first testimonial for Ordaloca without asking for one!!! 😍☺️

#buildinpublic #shoplocal
It's been a great week of speaking to customers. One of the fav bits is the simple order verification for customer pickups and deliveries. πŸ”

A QR scanner in the web business app. Just saves some time and pain. Thanks to npmjs.com/package/react-… πŸ™

5 minutes before our Ordaloca.com launch event - as people were arriving - this happened πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚

#startups #buildinpublic #indiehackers #shoplocal
We want it to be incredibly easy and intuitive to find and buy/book from any local business. Whether they are coffee shop, plumber, experience or hair stylist.

Both in-store and online.

Just been rapidly building a POS interface based on our store APIs. This is running as a web app but feels pretty responsive.

So local businesses can have a simple POS alongside everything else in ⁦@OrdalocaHQ⁩

😴3 days clearing down 50+ bugs on Ordaloca after just 2 user testing sessions.

It's really pulling together and making it faster and easier each time to get a local business up and running. πŸ”₯

Next user test incoming... 🧨

#shoplocal #buildinpublic #exmouth #nearcommerce
Sooooooo many test stores on my dev machine 🀣

But we are currently in beta testing right now (wahooo!) and things are moving along fastπŸ’¨ - crunching through bugsπŸ›

Feels like @louisgillies and I have been like this for years now trying to build @OrdalocaHQ πŸ˜…

But we are crossing the (first) finish line 🏁

Nice one mate! It’s hard juggling family, health, work and earning money!! πŸ‘

πŸ”₯ Today's update (I love updates like this one)

❀️We are auto-generating images that our business customers can instantly share on social media.

Each day taking some of the pain out of being a small local business! πŸ’ͺ

That didn't take long before we had to cater for users with more than 1 local company!!!

(And yep 2nd logo width is a bug 🐞)

πŸ””Today's update

Ordaloca launch page for businesses is almost live! Just been screen grabbing every device!

#buildinpublic #shoplocal #startups @OrdalocaHQ
πŸ”” Today's #shipping update

We are finalising the steps for customers to create "coming soon" pages, whilst they build a store. This tells local customers they are launching, who can then follow for updates + rewards.

The "onboarding complete" confetti drop πŸŽŠπŸŽ‰πŸ₯³

πŸ“²πŸ’³πŸŽ‰ Todays update.

Created a personal WiFi hotspot and connected a payment terminal on a phone.

Enables local businesses to use our web ePOS on desktop or mobile before the native apps are available.

😱Just another reason why we are working so hard on building a better system for local businesses and customers (at Ordaloca.com).

- will be an input field: user can review info before submitting;

#buildinpublic #indiehackers #nocode #buylocal #shoplocal @bubble
I’m getting traction in other regions than Berlin πŸ“

Problems:
- Few shops & only near me;
- Lost opportunities - users are interested but I have no idea where they are - can’t add stores near them

I’ll check-in every other day.

piqup.io can now be translated into any locale.

I want Piqup to be available to everyone, everywhere - so:

Comment if:
- You’d like to support & translate Piqup to your native language
- mention where you’re from

Let’s do this!
