First internet money after nearly 15 years.
https://t.co/fjxlNpXECt got its first sale within 24 hours of launch via @creem_io, with still so much to fix.
I think if I had not signed up for @shipordie_ (thanks @marclou and @jackfriks), Iβd still be wasting time building this before burning out and quitting.
Celebrated by buying my wife milk tea π
Sent emails, no replies received,
Asked the questions (on X and all platforms), the op didn't reply to,
Looking for volunteers to help manage site, they asked for traffics and revenue first.
Sometimes I'm like a terrible, bs guy βΊοΈ
Keep working alone seems only and best choice.
Long post alert π
This week started really well.
Trigv got approved on the App Store, I finished the Play Store submission, and somehow came 3rd on TinyLaunch https://t.co/DIuP5lhaOb
Thank you to everyone who voted and supported it.
I didnβt build it because I had some grand SaaS roadmap. Itβd be nice if it makes money, of course, but mostly I wanted to build something useful, learn, and stop wasting time overthinking everything.
The tools we have now are too good. At some point, βI need more timeβ becomes a bad excuse.
I quit client work in 2015. It paid well, and I worked with some good clients and companies, but the stress was slowly running me into the ground.
Working with @dannyvankooten, then @flowdee, and briefly with @barry_kooij helped me break away from that grind. It gave me a calmer life, more freedom, and eventually brought me to Vietnam in 2017.
I'm still here in Da Nang, and still happy with that choice.
Coming back to X after almost 7 years away has been surprisingly nice too. A lot has changed, but the best part still feels the same: people building things, sharing progress, getting stuck, launching, failing, and trying again.
This was a good reminder that finishing something, even a small thing, feels much better than endlessly polishing it.
Now, back to building as there are 4 days left for the @shipordie_ challenge π
