i'm creating short horror films based on urban legends from small towns in colombia! for the 2nd iteration, i've included the feedback received + new scenes! feel free to join me at tiktok.com/@ghostsxhistory cc: @_buildspace @_nightsweekends #buildspace #buildingpublic


Day 32✅ - fixed minor bug about the cloning of recurring informal loans to next months - family and friends are still voting for the best name - need to learn about company/app name registration/copyright, is this needed when first launching? validating free names?

I want to connect with solopreneurs. If you're building a one-person business… Comment with what you’re building.


Today I handed in my first resignation letter. I've been fired before, but deciding to leave a job that represents 5 years of my life is a weird feeling.


Day 32 ✅ - choosing a name so i can create and get the landing page up + the domain - learn how to use zapier + google sheets (probably an overkill to automate this since i don't have an audience, but it's good to learn)


Guys, what's the best "UI builder" for ts? Context: my current MVP is fully functional, but I don't like the UI, looks like a toy app since I'm not that good, so I want suggestions on where I can find the best-looking UI components (could be libraries, frameworks, etc)


Day 31 ✅ - adding scroll to the popup since it's like going out of the view and can't press the save button - now users can select the period cycle (my paycheck starts around 27th until the next 26th of the month) - started creating the landing page to collect emails waitlist


Day 30 ✅ I'm not sure what day i'm in since i just discovered this format, let's say is a month. -added support to pay salaries in advance to my inhouse employees -added a payoff button (money lent to others) for those who paid all of it, now those are hidden under a button

Unpopular opinion: Most people WON’T follow your journey until it starts working. Build anyway. Document anyway. Win anyway. You can’t lose if you don’t quit.

If your product requires a tutorial, it’s not ready.

The longer I'm on X, the more I realize: small accounts are the most interesting ones. - Still in the trenches. - Humble as hell. - Inspired. - Authentic. - Trying to make their way. If you're a small account, don't hesitate to reach out and connect.

There's a lot of "dropping out" or "resign" harmful advice on #buildinpublic. I'm no expert but I know most of time side projects fail. I respect people who do it but if you dont have traction and haven't even launched yet, why are you leaving your 9-5 job that funds your hustle?

Can anyone tell me where I can learn about app marketing? I have a mvp that would like to set up for validation, but im not sure about hosting and marketing in general. im devops, what im looking is for easy setup options, i think infra right now adds complexity #buildinpublic
