#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.
#buildinpublic Day 72 - LinkedIn will be our main source of leads going forward...but lawdy do I hate the algorithm. #marketing
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
#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
#buildinpublic Day 68 - In most small tech companies, product decisions are made by the CTO. They often don't have product people. #product
It's that time again #buildinpublic. Link me your project. I'll try it out and give you feedback.
#buildinpublic Day 68 - The month long outbound experiment comes to a close. Thus starts the next month - SEO
Audio was corrupted for todays vlog. Let's try something new #buildinpublic. - Link your project - I will try it out and give you positive feedback It's a not-roast. A roastn't #roastnt
Has anyone gone through any sort of AI transformation at their work (30+ staff)? I'd be keen to chat. #ai
#buildinpublic Day 63 - PMs seem quite interested in AI features, but we're not really sure on our end how to add real value with them. Magic RICE scoring? #product
#buildinpublic Day 62 - PMs don't love Gantt charts, they're just expected to use them for everything. #product
What have you got for me this week #buildinpublic? Link me your startup. I'll try it out and give you feedback.
#buildinpublic Day 61 - "this will make you look good to your boss". Is that the only selling point that really matters?
#buildinpublic Day 60 - Is there any data on whether data-driven decisions beat emotion driven ones? #productsky
#buildinpublic Day 59 - I don't have a #grindset mindset. Today's focus is on not working.
#buildinpublic Day 58 - My initial response rate of 30% has dropped to 5. Is outbound worth it?
#buildinpublic Day 57 - A few months ago I explored the idea of selling to gamedevs. It wasn't a success...
#buildinpublic Day 56 - Lots of people out there will never admit they have any problems. It's true for life, and it's true for discovery interviews. #product
#buildinpublic Day 55 - Looking for a good problem to solve? It exists, but you won't find it doomscrolling.
Ok #buildinpublic. It's that time again. Link your startup below. I'll give you constructive feedback.
#buildinpublic Day 54 - Linear's estimated burndowns are really useful. We want to do something similar for planning. #product
