Getting ready to share my app with 5–10 friends and colleagues for a week of testing and feedback. Feels like I'm about to step on stage. Is it normal to be this nervous? 😬
#buildinpublic

Build in public update:
Core problem — solved ✅
Initial landing page — live (but bad) ✅
Analytics — integrated ✅

Next up:
❌ Monetisation
❌ A landing page that doesn’t make me cringe
❌ Marketing strategy (B2C app, but built for pros w/ constant ad hoc requests — PMs, execs, founders)
#buildinpublic

We go again tomorrow. #buildinpublic

Yeah I was going to use license key too but looks like paddle recently deprecated that as an option

🚀 Startup earnings so far:

Domain: -$9
Email: -$7
OpenAI API: -$15
Revenue: -$31

Officially profitable… if emotional investment counts.

Anyone else monetised a Mac Menu Bar app before and happy to share their monetisation strategy? Its the last thing on my to-do list, im leaning towards using paddle but would be great to get others thoughts.

Hard Agree! I built a very simple counter app because every single habit tracker comes with so much bloat and negative stuff when you miss a habit.

Same opinion but for to-do lists! the worst thing about them.. you have to add your tasks + the context to them 💀.

This is cool! What was the inspiration behind the idea? You just wanted a unique experience when typing docs?

I decided to just build something for me and now I have used it and solved my own problem im going to find others with the same problem. Its completely took the worrying out of it.

Are waitlists worth it? Been getting steady traction using it but unsure how many will actually convert to real users. How far away from launch is the optimal time to start getting people to join them?

Thanks! Is there anyone you recommend personally to follow?

Reddit told me BlueSky is the best place to #buildinpublic. Is that true?
