Video 2 of 7 stats posting on @manifeset_loop TikTok account.

Wow. This one performed significantly worse.

The good news is I just found a bug and need to go fix that now.... so, would have been a bad thing if the video went viral and got lots of users. Reframe!

Better analytics. More informed decisions.

•UTMs are set up
•Events are tracking

Now I’m ready to batch-create 7 videos for TikTok and Instagram Reels.

All the things that some might argue are more important than the build. (Me included)

LFG!

#buildinpublic #indiedev

Let's take a breath.

Time to tighten up analytics so I can actually learn from them.

Next steps:
➡️Filter out my own traffic
➡️UTM-tag every link
➡️Track key events in the flow (record → save → signup)

Why didn't I do this already?!

#BuildInPublic #indiedev

Thanks! That initial sign-up came from posting on X.

I'll be posting updates with what I'm doing and what does and does not work. 😀

Thank you!

Good eye!

Starting fresh. Ready to launch.

But first, I'm going to work on a few things for the app's social media accounts.

Follow along on the user acquisition journey!

I'll post weekly updates on what's working and what's not.

Don't forget about security.

I'm making sure everything is locked tight before launch.

Build trust with the fine people who use your app.

😂

Thanks! I did! Something new always popped up after fixing something else. Think all the major issues are resolved now.

After about a 10-hour sesh of testing and bug whac-a-mole, it's time to step away for a bit.

Super productive Saturday, though!

LFG!

Good stuff. Good stuff.

I planned to launch on Feb 1st. I think Sunday, Feb 8th could actually be a go.

Only a week behind my self-imposed timeline!

It was more about finding the best way to pinpoint where the problem was happening. So, instead of continuing to try potential fixes that weren't working, I thought about how to better isolate and diagnose the issue. I mean, if you don't know the problem, how can you solve it?!
