Protonmail. Very solid software

Have you ever thought open-spaces are just modern panopticons (prison architecture where you never know if you're watched or not)?

• No guards—just peers.
• No bars—just desks.
• No rules—just eyes.

I feel more and more comfortable with #marketing

It’s all about being consistent and experiencing

#buildinpublic #solodev #indiedev

For now it is mocked. Planned to connect minihabits.co and other popular habit trackers

I built a tool about it karmalaun.ch
Never pushed the marketing part though

1 post on Reddit. I targeted the right subreddit at the right time and the traffic came by itself 🤞

It’s coming, still a proof of concept for now!

Very proud of this launch ➡️ quietdash.com

Now, about the fact it is a screen that is always on:

- I use eink for that purpose, less notifications, more focused on one think, no dopamine rollercoaster
- You will have the possibility to customise what you see on the dashboard

I have this on my desk and now my phone is always off.

Thanks for the feedback. If you're talking about the dashboard carousel in the hero section, it is now fix

4. Bounce rate: 30%

70% of people stayed on the page.
Average session: 1min 53s.
Long enough to read the value prop and decide.
Good signal.

What's next:

- Email the 12 people. Ask what dashboard they want most.
- Post to more subreddits
- Iterate on landing page copy based on session recordings

3. Geographic mismatch is real
Top traffic sources:

- US: 25.6%
- UK: 9.6%
- Germany: 7.7%

I was trying to build a European alternative to TRMNL... and most interest is coming from the US.
Either I'm solving the wrong problem, or I need to reframe for the US market too.

2. Validation ≠ Sales

703 upvotes feels amazing. But upvotes don't pay bills.
What matters: 12 people gave me their email.
That's 12 humans I can talk to. 12 people who might actually buy.

1. The framing matters more than the product

Same dashboard. Different subreddits. 100x difference in engagement.

r/ProductivityApps: 582 views, 3 upvotes
r/digitalminimalism: 59k views, 703 upvotes

The product didn't change. The narrative did.

Could I get feedbacks on this landing page? ⬇️

#buildinpublic #ui #ux #eink #marketing #solodev #indiedev

Love eink

Thanks I appreciate that. I’m building the landing page to catch some emails for a waiting list

I’m a grown-up

- I pay my bills
- I work 9-5
- I validate my ideas before building them

I track my fitness journey with this dashboard I just built

#buildinpublic #indiedev #solodev #fitness #gym #eink #epaper

What’s the best time of the day for marketing your side project(s)?

For me I like to do it all day long, a bit randomly, and try to see a pattern 🕵️‍♂️

Contrats 👏

With ai I feel like it is to clone this kind of things now?

Very cool dock. Did you build it yourself?

Earlier this week I posted about another dashboard I made on this screen. It was my most liked post ever.

Now it is the second one, after this one ⬇️

#buildinpublic #eink #epaper #indiedev #solodev

How was it to connect the screen to the esp8266? I thought about using an esp32 (for energy efficiency) but I have no knowledge in how to connect an e-Paper hat to it

Heard also that raspberry zero w is also good for that

The e-paper hat I have ⬇️
