Reviving Bsky here for some neat app reveals. Stay tuned. I think I'll do a 30days/30apps challenge

Considering to use this tool for very very regular build in public updates.

Just for visibility with nerds that want to follow along with a deep dive. What do you think?

I do like bsky and I'm investigating in its future this way.

X stays marketsy

Doesn't matter. Pick one! Commit

Yay 1k followers / thanks y'all - bsky is the place to be. I'm experimenting currently with the algos on X and will be back once I'm smarter. This here has more potential in my opinion. There is no algo in place (at least not a weirdly sentiment-configured one). Hope it stays this way

Finally got my company account back from X. What a mess. Back to marketing and fixing bazillion bugs in production. I need a deadline again... let's define it at the end of the month = seo, bugfix and marketing date.

Not seeing myself in there though :(... no worries xmas busy anyway

Thank you. Just reposted

Hey, 👋 pls add me. My project is shown in my profile (releasing/unlocking domain this year). Thanks

Correct. But, sometimes a little yes is good for the soul. It's like a diet - don't burn yourself out, leave a little room for some fun things too.

Web3 crypto apps directory progress update (probably one of the last ones):

✅ Content display & search
✅ Content growing mode started
✳️ Bugfixes & tweaks ongoing
➡️ User submit form next
➡️ (optional) scraper next
⬛️ Unlock website & release - after Xmas

It's the curse of unfair advantages - if you have the skills you don't notice how valuable and powerful they are. Regardless of industry.

True it is not. But you need to "establish" your target audience first, you need to network. You can reach out directly (if you have the network) or indirectly (communities). The engagement is just a way to advertise and find possible clients. I might use bad expressions, hence the confusion

X? This is bsky. But anyway... any kind of network / outreach. If you have a decent following and engaging people validation gets trivial. You can use ads to do the same but randomizes audience (problem?). Validation isn't just posting a link somewhere, it's having a base of community to begin with.

I feel that the validation part is in of itself a problem. How do you actually validate without a network? chicken vs egg problem

Disagree. I'm looking for feedback and some form of accountability. Having a small amount of "oh... I should be sharing my progress... let's make this neat" is enough give me "some" motivation

Web3 app directory for vetted projects with safe links/airdrop pages

Oh nice. I like your take on it. It feels more directory-focused than app-feel-y. "View details" seems repetitive, could be an icon? All in all - a decent take. Thanks for taking the time in experimenting around

OK is totally fine for a first app. Thanks

Experimenting with a new look & reduced functionality to meet the deadline. What do you think? Roast me (mocked content - don't get distracted with the details view)

Also. If you are okay, can you share a project you made? Can I take one over to test for myself? I'd like to learn from it too + tweak and analyze what I can do differently

Did you start it 9 days ago and count it as failed again? I don't see any marketing either. If you do this loop again and again what do you expect to change?

What's considered failing. And how did you learn from them? 6x failing means 6x super valuable lessons

Doesn't this apply to 100% of founders? Where is the news? 😄

I'm curious, why don't you use a free DB at first and then scale up to selfhost? Especially since dsql from aws is around the corner.

Achievement unlocked to use this meme now: "I'm an architect"

I will not build for builders... I will not build for builders... I will not build for builders...

business pleb, fast shipper, yolo saas, boiler nerd... want me to continue? I have more. Indie hacker just sounds most casual. Pick your poison kinda thing

nextquote++ % quote.length. Otherwise I'm stuck at the last quote "Peace comes from within". Is it quote.pop()?
