@Smackems818 Bro maybe he had to shit

@GazzyB1233 Strong start 💪

🤷‍♂️

100 LTD is not time-bound. It's just the number of lifetime subs I am willing to sell at the current price.

I'm still learning about how to get the word out and am still pretty clueless about marketing.

I'm not trying to speedrun this thing. Just built a cool thing I wanted to build and doing what I can to get people to try it out.

🎉 My #SaaS project IdealDay now has monthly and annual subscriptions active!

We did a brief lifetime deal only launch, and now subs are active. The early bird lifetime deal option is also still available - but only until 100 people sign up for a lifetime account.

@berkey11 They have the right to dig their own grave.

@CrownUpGuy Cool story bro

@ClimStefan Definitely OnlyFans. And it's not close.

@RobKuhn_ @CMONEYMAKER Might be the most underrated tournament poker player of all time. Absurd results over an even more absurd period of time. I think he's trolling us all

@dankness3 Bro stop.

@dankness3 GOAT Shill

For a while I was doing a dead simple routine:

100 push ups
100 sit ups
100 squats
3 planks

Every day. It’s super easy to do in very short chunks of time, no equipment, and is a great MVP routine.

I’ve since graduated to a more detailed workout schedule using equipment, but this is an excellent way to start!

Yeah him and Gosling IMO! Saw a separate reply and totally agree Gosling is heavily underrated. Insane range and an incredible comedic actor too. He and pattinson have the range thing in common, but Gosling has that plus incredible comedic timing, so I might put gosling ahead of Pattinson.

@Web3Kristel Uhh - you can convert USDC to fiat (USD) for free via Coinbase with no fees.

I think there needs to be more ways to do that - and agree with your sentiment, but there is an easy fiat offramp with no fees on Base.

[Doug Lyford @DougLyford]

The most valuable lesson I have learned so far in my #indiehacking journey:

Start the morning with a focus block - localhost only, building stuff. No social media, no research, etc. this advice is golden.

Thanks to @marclou 😀

@pavelhegler LTD is seed funding without investors*

Agree MRR is the goal though. Recurring subs coming in a few weeks

#buildinpublic update for my #SaaS IdealDay:

Kind of a big day today. App got launched on two LTD platforms (22k and 16k members each). It got a lot of engagement in one of them - around 20-30 questions and comments. Got 4 great feature requests!

I answered each one, and then built one of the requested features: a day-of-week performance report. I really like this and it's something I will personally get value out of since I use the app myself every day. I actually implemented the feature, stared at it for a while, and then thought "ah - some Excel-style conditional formatting would look great on these numbers!" I think it makes the data much easier to consume.
