I can do an a/b test next week. Same content on both platforms and see where the best conversations happen

I don't really care about making sales though bsky. I just want to have good conversations

Yeah bsky has become a ghost town recently

#buildinpublic Day 74 - It's time to be bolder with our positioning.

#buildinpiblic Day 73 - no vid today. We're not hitting the conversion rates we want. It's time to reposition again into something people are actually interested in.

#buildinpublic Day 72 - It was too spooky to do a real build in public so I talked about fog.

Maybe if it's wildly innovative in some way?

Lol Eli farming us for content.

Haha you're crazy for doing that. You might be onto something though. I'm pretty tempted to follow in your footsteps.

I worry that I'll offend people unfollowing them honestly.

Show me what you got

It's that time again #buildinpublic

Link me your project. I'll try it out and give you feedback.

Fair point. I think values are great when there is heavy founder involvement to drive them. Once companies become professionally managed, that passion dies, and the values become appropriated for internal politics.

#buildinpublic Day 72 - LinkedIn will be our main source of leads going forward...but lawdy do I hate the algorithm.

#marketing

Your values are what your values are I'm not a fan of company values. They are often only created as a box ticking exercise by leadership, and are frequently employed as a handy virtue signal to mask deeper organizational issues.

Don't you think the opposite is the more common error? Stagnant, diluted values that are never reassessed.

I wrote a post on it a while back.

How?!

I feel well suited to weigh in here, since we're trying to replace Gantt charts with a top 10.

Getting companies to move from parallel prioritisation (five number one priorities) to any sort of real prioritisation (5 things in order) is extremely difficult.

The number itself isn't a huge issue.

Great advice. Many huge companies grew quickly because they were able to focus on a single channel

The users being dogs, the vision being tinder for dogs

The users just don't understand my brilliant vision

Chasing that wagon lifestyle

Why there are so many men indie hackers and very few women out there? Is it just because we tend to be more stupid brave?

I have studied mechanical engineering then worked in aerospace jet engine manufacturing. My entire life was around men dominated groups. Maybe it's me. #buildinpublic

This feels like a good product idea. It's a big unknown for a lot of people.

Nice one!

Some ideas need time.

Haha you've posted enough that I finally gave it a go.

You should add a LinkedIn field btw

Succeedn't

#buildinpublic Day 71 - Within a year PMs went from retracting at the mention of AI, to basically requesting it replace them.

What changed?

#product

#buildinpublic Day 70 - Dont listen to wannabe influencers. You're allowed to raise capital.

#buildinpublic Day 69 - It took a year, but people aren't comparing us to notion as much now.

#product

I think we're overdue for a chat either way!

#buildinpublic Day 68 - In most small tech companies, product decisions are made by the CTO.

They often don't have product people.

LinkedIn is great!
