UserTake is at $50 MRR, finally got my first paying customer! We're on the board 🎉 #buildinpublic

[James Reilly @JamesReillyOG]

Back to marketing for the first time in a couple of months. Now to decide whether to focus on cold outreach or double down on SEO. I know which one I'd rather be doing

[James Reilly @JamesReillyOG]

@dsabar The answer is always everything 😅

[James Reilly @JamesReillyOG]

Trying to fix Google oAuth allowed origins with custom domains / subdomains in 1 hour blocks each evening was painful. The perks of not having large chunks of time. It's done though, Usertake now has Google auth. Now back to marketing #buildinpublic

[James Reilly @JamesReillyOG]

@lewisvrobinson Yeah I'm just gonna serve the assets from the app domain and should trick it. Annoying that Google hasn't solved it yet

[James Reilly @JamesReillyOG]

I've gotten Google auth up and running only to find out there is no API to add trusted javascript origins for vanity domains and no way to add wildcards for each customer subdomains? Is there any other way around this apart from serving assets from the app domain?

[James Reilly @JamesReillyOG]

@gouthamjay8 Congratulations! How did you find your customers?

[James Reilly @JamesReillyOG]

What's the one thing indie hackers know you should be doing that you can't motivate yourself to do?

[James Reilly @JamesReillyOG]

@MasroorEjaz I'm probably not the right audience right now but I'm happy to see a demo and give feedback if you need

[James Reilly @JamesReillyOG]

@robertodigital_ Yes, its only the start isn't it? It's never really finished

[James Reilly @JamesReillyOG]

@ivnklm Gotta stick to what you know 😄

[James Reilly @JamesReillyOG]

What do people use for UI components these days? I came really close to buying Tailwind UI in the early days but resorted back to my go to library, Ant Design

[James Reilly @JamesReillyOG]

@tahajiru I like it. Quite a few have recommended it I see

[James Reilly @JamesReillyOG]

@lewisvrobinson @radix_ui @getReshaped Reshaped looks quite nice, will have to check it out

[James Reilly @JamesReillyOG]

@robertodigital_ I came close myself. If my business was making money at the time I was deciding I probably would have went with it

[James Reilly @JamesReillyOG]

@BrianSaetre It looks quite powerful when you know how to put together a nice looking UI. I'd like to check it out eventually

[James Reilly @JamesReillyOG]

@sunglassesface Looks nice, I like the composition

[James Reilly @JamesReillyOG]

@ImaginateWayne Its so easy to forget. Congrats btw 😁

[James Reilly @JamesReillyOG]

For anyone doing sales demos, reminder to focus on selling the desired outcome, not the features. Same goes for landing pages actually

[James Reilly @JamesReillyOG]

@mq_p Depends on the pricing. With low pricing I couldn't afford to do demos later on with lots of customers but early on it's great for gathering objections and finding out the motivation for using your product (for landing page copy)

[James Reilly @JamesReillyOG]

What's the most important thing founders want to improve on this year apart from the obvious MRR?
