I am officially the marketing goat with this render

hi

You're learning to code.

If someone could tell you exactly what you need to know next, cut your learning time in half, and become your friend, would that be a good deal?

We can't be your friend, but your new instructor might.

Learn web development | Skillbright Interactive, project-based learning that will make building professional web apps second nature. Foundational web dev taught without the boring videos.

Say hi

skillbright.org > Try the course > Send feedback (bottom right)

You can just do things.

Like, for example, giving away your phone number to anyone who uses your app.

What could possibly go wrong?

#buildinpublic #indiedev

P.S: Skillbright makes learning web development faster and less boring. It's Brilliant (the app) but for web dev:

Am I cooking on this rebrand?
#buildinpublic #indiedev

We all expect the obstacle to success to be failure and pain.

It's actually boredom. The leading indicator of success is your ability to show up even when it looks like nothing is happening, and do it over, and over, and over, and over, and over again.

Why have 1 headline instead of 10?

Generate a page for each one and let Google pick the best one based on what people searched for.

After all, everyone has a slightly different goal. Here's the one I'm betting on with this post 😅

Just checked out an old build and it's striking how much Skillbright's landing page has improved in just a month

Small iterations add up 👇

The greatest excuse you can have when you're still young is that nobody expects you to be successful yet.

And, so what?

Excuses boil down to permission slips for failure.

Just win. If not today, then when?

#buildinpublic #indiedev

This is on Twitter/X, I post to both platforms 😁

Kinda crazy how well this tracks

#buildinpublic #indiedev

If you had to make a sale today, how would you do it?

#startups

Spent a few hours today trying to get my emails out of the "Promotions" tab in Gmail.

But this particular email wasn't even selling anything. It was just a free value drop for a mailing list that knowingly signed up for it.🤔

Let's hope this works🤞

Social media marketing for skillbright.org 😁

Just hopped on Instagram & Tiktok

Are short-form videos higher leverage than X/LinkedIn/etc?

#buildinpublic #indiedev

Been trying to get back into web dev ^-^

Learning using this website called Skillbright and it's been helping me get used to frontend stuff again :p

Here's what I've made so far ! (And the code in case you wanna look at that)

Wall of Love🙏

Should I put all these up on skillbright.org/testimonials?

If you're building in public, remember:

You’re not trying to go viral. You’re trying to earn trust at scale over time.

Most people stop too early because they think they’ve tried enough.

They haven’t.

Build your first project in 10 minutes | Skillbright Mini 5 beautifully designed UI cards that can each be completed in less than 15 minutes. Learn CSS flexbox by building increasingly difficult layouts.

Learning web dev through tutorials is broken.
You follow along, and the second you're on your own, you're stuck.

I built a better way to practice:
- Real designs you have to implement
- 15 mins each
- 100% free
- A mini Frontend Mentor

Just had my first 'aha' moment with hotjar 🤯

All analytics platforms are helpful in general, but being able to see your users/prospects interact with your website as if you were standing behind their shoulder makes it possible to finally stop guessing

#buildinpublic #indiedev

My top 2 favorite things in the universe:

1. Stripe payment notifications
2. Positive feedback😇

Although practice is very important, most projects take multiple hours to complete, and not all that time is spent learning new things 😬

Just launched 5 UI card designs you can build in < 15 mins each. Watch me build one 👉 youtu.be/dehCE5BDk90

Whenever your funnel doesn't work, it could mean 10 different things and you just keep guessing until it works.

But it hasn't worked yet and I'm just eating glass💀
