Building OhMyCustomer.com ๐ Get leads from social media posts on autopilot... Follow my journey ๐ฑ
Damned if coded with AI.
Damned if you donโt.
Welcome to 2025 ๐
Debugging โ โ
Brainstorming โ โ
Daily planning (tried Sunsama) โ โ halfway drop-off ๐
Small wins still count. Onward to tomorrow. ๐
Scheduled jobs after reboot: ๐ซฅ gone
Me: deep sigh, rebuilds them all
Tech gods must be bored today.
Sunsama just convinced me that โplan tomorrow, todayโ is the productivity cheat code.
Feels like therapy for my calendar.
Family member sick ๐ค + lead calls ๐ + tomorrow to-dos ๐๏ธ
Today = juggling chainsaws. Somehow, nothing exploded.
The real founder skill set:
Crash recovery engineer โ
Security architect โ
Marketing intern โ
Lead wrangler โ
All in one day. ๐
#buildinpublic
Prod went ๐จ๐ฅ โ came back stronger upgraded.
Created a shiny new pro account.
Even chatted with leads.
Some days it feels like Iโm juggling chainsaws. Today, none dropped. ๐
#buildinpublic
Is Threads dead or is it just me? ๐
For all his perceived faults, I think Elon Musk seems to know what heโs doing.
First 1:1 user interview today ๐
Learned a ton from their feedback โ nothing beats hearing it firsthand.
Also got to play โinvestorโ for their mini pitch.
Super fun perspective shift. ๐ฏ
Thanks Francesco for your time! #buildinpublic
Weโre now live on Threads! ๐งตโจ
Now you can find, qualify, and engage leads directly on Threads with OhMyCustomer.
More platforms โ more conversations โ more customers. ๐
Happiness is... when your product works for your customer.
Today a user messaged me: โSomeone actually checked out my product thanks to your tool.โ
Not vanity metrics. Not hype.
Just real traction- and thatโs the fuel that keeps me building. ๐
#buildinpublic
AI keeps spitting out junk code.
Time to put it on a leash- and pull it tight. ๐ฆฎ
๐ OhMyCustomer is soon getting a new platform: Threads! ๐งตโจ
Every platform comes with quirks- took some wrestling to get it right.
Thatโs 5 supported nowโฆ and weโre just getting started. #buildinpublic
Not every problem needs AI.
Today I swapped fancy extraction models for some smart regex.
What used to take 40 secs now takes 5 secs ๐
Small wins โ big compounding. #buildinpublic
Just clicked Buy Now on a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 + lighting gear ๐ฅ
Scared out of my mind if Iโll ever record, edit, or post my first video.
But if I donโt show up โ I wonโt sell.
No choice but to face the lens. #buildinpublic
SaaS update:
Product: built โ
Leads: engaged โ
MRR: $0 ๐จ
At this rate Iโll be ramen-profitable in 2075. #buildinpublic
Reddit is brutal for growth.
Self-promo = Instant ban
The only real play?
Patience + genuine value โ let others mention your product.
I learned this the hard way on a past account.
Wasnโt even pushing that much, but the algo wasnโt happy anyway.
๐ Whatโs your Reddit play? #buildinpublic
Engaged with 50+ social leads today using my own app.
AI did the heavy lifting ๐ but the magic came from the human touch ๐ค
AI templates helped me scale, yet the best convos came when I added my own finishing touch. Slower- but more real.
Whatโs better: full autopilot โ๏ธ or human touch โ? #leads
Itโs messy. Itโs hard.
But itโs deeply satisfying to watch an idea transform into something real. ๐
More to come!
Iโm slowly seeing OhMyCustomer click into place.
Itโs still rough, but every fix brings it closer to the tool I wish I had from the start.
Frustrating? Yes.
But hereโs the thing: every pain point turns into fuel.
Each bug teaches me something. Each model tweak makes the product sharper.
Second: fetching posts across social media is a never-ending cat & mouse game. ๐ฑ๐ญ
Fix one issue โ another pops up.
It keeps you humble.
First realization: the AI model wasnโt always qualifying leads at the level I expected.
When you rely on it daily, you feel every weak spot.
Dogfooding my own product is both brutal & rewarding. ๐พ
Every flaw shows up in your face, and you canโt hide.
Hereโs what Iโve been learning while building OhMyCustomer ๐
Whatโs a small tool or guardrail you created to keep chaos at bay?
Share your favorites- Iโm collecting ideas ๐
Itโs nothing fancy- just a few rules wrapped into a script that runs before every commit.
But wowโฆ those 'how did I miss that?!' moments are hopefully gone โจ
Sometimes the best productivity hack is the one you build for you.
Spent the whole day figuring out how to structure myself with the right tools so I donโt drown in tasks ๐
One big win: I kept hitting silly errors, so I built a custom linter to catch them before they sneak in.
Already feels lighter ๐
#buildinpublic
Next up: more feature drops and polish.
If you love geeking out on performance wins (or just want faster leads), follow along.
Feedback always welcome- bugs keep me humble ๐
The payoff is worth it:
โก๏ธ Lightning-fast lead updates
โ
Cleaner, more reliable backend
๐ A smoother experience for everyone using OhMyCustomer
Of course, every bug I fix seems to invite two more.
But hey- thatโs the builder life. ๐ชฒโก๏ธ๐ชฒ๐ชฒ
