@Divs_King Super banque ! Félicitations pour le lombard

@tony_fbr_invest Dans le cas numéro 2 je conseillerai aux gens de prendre une debit différée, ça a l’avantage de ne regarder qu’une seul fois dans le mois avant l’échéance

[Louis Augry @LouisDev_]

@tony_fbr_invest Pour moi la limitation est le prêt de max 15 ans car + grosse mensualité/mois = + gros taux d’endettement = - de capacité d’emprunt. Donc au final j’ai l’impression de perdre un peu en faisait valoir les droits PEL sur un gros projet de premiere RP. Est-ce que je me trompe ?

@tony_fbr_invest @benjamincallet Si on est marié sans contrat de mariage, les salaires sont considérés comme commun. Après chacun est libre de gérer ses finances comme il le souhaite, j’aime bien aussi l’option d’avoir ses propres comptes notamment si 1 seul des 2 s’intéresse à l’investissement.

[Louis Augry @LouisDev_]

@tony_fbr_invest Je sais que certains employeurs payent 2 fois dans le mois. A la quinzaine et à la fin du mois. Tu peux peut être essayer de voir si cela est possible pour toi

@louisgrasset Même stack aussi, sur mon serveur, le tout dockerisé. Juste une petite diff j’utilise Petio à la place d’Overseerr

I just sold https://t.co/culXGjg8HN for $65,000 🤩🚀

Launched it 3 months ago, with 0 budget and less than 600 followers. I learned to code only 9 months ago.

Big thanks @agazdecki & @acquiredotcom to have made it possible!

If you're curious, here is the whole story:

December 2022, 20:40. I had a sudden idea. What if I made an app to generate logos using AI?

I was making AI logos already for my other projects, so I knew how to do it. However, I needed to validate 2 hypotheses:

🤔 Can I make logos in an automated way?
🤔 Would people pay for it?

I decided to make an MVP in 48 hours, as deadlines are the way to go when launching anything: https://t.co/XLbPOgAD7Q

48 hours, 1 earthquake and 2 power outages later, I had my crappy MVP ready 🥳

By crappy I mean a static HTML page linked to a Typeform to collect payment. The back end was literally me generating the logos and sending them by email.
No framework, no fancy stuff, just text and pictures.

I made a few posts on Twitter and generated a couple of sales from it: https://t.co/oJWmZapfJ4

Sales = Validation. The next step was to make an automated version, so I made another challenge of making an automated version in 48h and launching it on @ProductHunt 🚀🚀

And oh boy, things went crazy! I launched on December 11 and generated +$1000 of sales, ended up Product of the Day, and got tons of followers on Twitter, so I knew I was into something 🤩

However, it was far from perfect. Lots of logos needed additional editing or ended up weird because the customer inputs/prompts weren't good.

So, I started from scratch again and made a brand new version in January.
The new version offered way more options, and better results overall ✨

Then, I added the app to every startup directory I could put my hand on. And that's how most of my traffic came.

I also kept posting on Twitter, every time someone asked "what are you working on?" I replied with the name of the app, and the same when someone asked for AI-generated logos 🤓

And... That's pretty much it. I tried to run some ads on Twitter & Reddit but it didn't work that much, as it's not targeted enough.

Now, I don't have much interest in logo/design, and I don't have the technical skills to improve the app further, so, I decided to sell it in February.

@acquiredotcom made the process pretty easy, I received a few offers, and ended up choosing the best offer. Then I did the transfer and here we are 🥳

In total, the app made +$23,000 in sales and $15,000 in profit. So, that's around $80,000 in total (profit + sale), which is equivalent to at least 5 years of safety net where I live 😱

If you want a more detailed post, I wrote everything I was doing in real-time back then: https://t.co/iEpUio2pDs

Now, keep in mind that it's not my first shot at entrepreneurship.
In the last 5 years, I launched around 35 projects and most were total failures. Just between October and December 2022, I released 7 different apps.

I never gave up. I kept showing up. It's a number game.

The odds are against you, but at some point, you'll get something that sticks 😉

So... What's next? 🤔

I hate customer service. So I hired an assistant to do it on https://t.co/culXGjg8HN. But in most cases, it's the same questions over and over. So I made an app to help my assistant works 2x faster.

Last weekend, I made a post to show it and some people asked for a public app, so I made it.

If you want to join the beta, you can go to https://t.co/iO5YcpP4I2.

For testers, it's $15/month forever instead of +$30 later.

It's also a crappy MVP, there is not even a Stripe integration, I’ll DM users to give them the payment link 😁

And again, thanks to everyone for the massive support I got with MakeLogo along the way. Couldn't have done it without you 🥰

@Gravenilvec Si c’est du CRUD basique, tu peux utiliser Strapi, très simple à prendre en main, et en plus tu as un backoffice déjà intégré

@anat_in_a_hat @liran_tal Try to use traces, it's very cool and you can see all requests https://t.co/zhcAmEnvMs

Can't wait to update our application to Angular 14 !

[Charlie Gerard @devdevcharlie]

I've been experimenting with ultrasonic data transmission in JavaScript, as a potential payment method 💳. Here's an example of sending a payment link from an offline device via inaudible sounds.

If you're interested, I wrote about it ✍️

When you start a new big corporate project that involves @angular v14 with #modulefederation, a ng library of standalones and an Angular Elements wrapper the very same day that Angular v14 is released.

@ManfredSteyer I will keep you posted.

[Michael Bromley @michlbrmly]

👊 Respect to Angular.

A rock-solid platform that serves its niche (enterprise / admin apps) better than any other solution out there.

- Very stable + a reliable, predictable release cadence
- Successfully survived the departure of the author & early core team members.
