Wild to see it actually accelerating. Still can't believe this is working

I really hope so 🙏🏻

Someone reached out saying the rotating ad in the bottom corner is super distracting for people with ADHD

Which sucks because it's also my best performing ad spot

Gotta figure out how to make this work for everyone 🤔

POV: you're dying but still want to look good in the coffin

Kind of wild that we're unlearning years of grammar education just to sound human again

One of the quirks of the AI age I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

Same here, but it's only February so you never know what the day brings 😅 Thanks!

Thank you 🙏🏻

Just got an email from a customer who wants to send me an extra $1000 because they think my product is underpriced 🤯

This made my whole week

Huge shoutout for @dub.co for making this process as smooth as possible 💪🏻

Affiliate marketing feels like a full time job sometimes

You have to apply for all those programs and you can't know if it's gonna work

But when it works... it works

Just got my first referral for @papermark.io 🎉

Family is growing 🥰

Yeah, you're probably right. But with a steady income, I can take it easy and not stress too much about it.

Plus, I always liked the building part of SaaS where I can work with users to make the product better over time.

Can't get that with directories, unfortunately.

Happy to hear! Thanks.

build it and they will come

Yup, same here. This gives me FOMO every time, but I find it easier to just ignore it.

Appreciate it 🙏🏻

Thanks Tom!

Thanks!

Being featured on @indiehackers.com podcast was always a dream, but I'll also take a written article 🎉
