I made $0 from BoltAI v2 so far 😁 A few months ago, I decided to rebuild the product. It was at the stage where it’s hard to make any meaningful change. It would be impossible to fulfill my product vision with the old codebase. New users were churning because of performance…
My grandmother just passed away this morning. She was 85. We weren’t really close but she was always kind to me. I’m grateful for the time we had. Rest in peace, Grandma.

Here's how I used 2 of these tactics from my @MicroConf talk about AI-CITE to get 143 ChatGPT visits last month to a site with ZERO authority...
How to rank in LLMs: use AI-CITE 1) Answer first 2) Intend-matched headings 3) Clear Structure 4) Indexed Schema 5) Trusted Sources 6) Exclusive POV Absolutely awesome talk by @JesseSchoberg of @DropInBlog at #MicroConf
I occasionally share the progress on here. But I mostly iterate with folks on r-ddit. There are a lot of power users on r/macapps. Many of them are kind enough to offer page-long valuable feedback. So far I gathered about 2k beta testers. If 5% of them convert, it would be…

I use @getsentry mostly because I heard about it first. It gets the job done, at a reasonable price and never gets in the way (no obnoxious random marketing emails) I didn’t even check other alternatives. This makes me think if I could grow my indie business by solely focusing…
Working with price sensitive customers makes me a better marketer. I’m better at communicating price changes etc. But it also fucked my psychology. I’m afraid of charging more, even with business customers. Still trying to improve this. Does this ever happen to you?
Some of my customers are asking for linux support because they’re using Omarchy. They are all long-time Mac users. What have you done @dhh 😭 Joke aside, I gotta give it a real shot this weekend. I hope app development is straightforward enough. First time building for Linux.
Removing live chat widget was the smartest decision I've made. Happy founders → Better business. Also, mad respect to frontline support reps who have to deal with this every day.
I implemented a completely new licensing system for BoltAI v2 ✨ This time I integrated with @stripe directly. The DX is superb! I’m not sure why I thought it would be challenging to integrate. It’s actually quite straightforward (and intuitive). Why Stripe? As I started…
Best 1-star review I’ve seen so far 🤣
One good thing about "building in public" is that everyone can see your progress. You may fake the revenue once or twice, it's easy. But it's very hard to fake it in a long period of time, when your product in public. People can reverse-engineer the growth and somewhat verify…
There's so many fake MRR screenshots on here, but you can't really prove it, except that generally it takes people years to even make a successful project and then many more years to build up substantial revenue It took me years to get to $10K/mo revenue! Seeing people join X,…
Claude is like a software consultant. For the same feature, Codex estimates it would take 1-2 days. Claude gives a "conservative" estimate of 3-5 weeks lol. Both can implement it in a couple of hours.
Kids are amazing. It’s the “iykyk” between fathers. It’s hard to describe, but once you become a parent, you feel it immediately. Having kids is a personal choice. I’d never judge. For me, it’s made my life richer in ways I never expected.
I have a single friend in his late 30s right now. Mega-millionaire. Doing whatever he wants. He's happy! He always asks me "where are you going next" and I always respond "nowhere, I just want to be home with my kid." And he looks at me like I'm CRAZY. He tries to empathize, but…

The 3-2-1 strategy in backup: — 3 data copies — 2 media types — 1 offsite copy Although using a different media type is not practical now, it's important to have at least 1 offsite copy 👉 If you're using Render, set up a cron to backup PostgreSQL → S3 (link below)
My wife was teaching our 6yo that we need to work hard to get what we want in life. Then he asked: “But why do I never see daddy working?” I always try to stop working and play with my kids when they get home. And now they think I don’t work at all 😅
