Building in tech & proptech

Building Crafter — a platform that connects homeowners with trusted contractors and manages the entire construction process in one place.

From hiring to project tracking, with AI that matches the right people and helps prevent scams.

@harry_ngala10 This was me the first few months building my app.

I’d be super busy all day, ticking things off, feeling like I got a lot done… then go to bed thinking I made real progress.

Looking back, most of it was just motion, not actual progress.

@bendikdev From what I’ve seen building my own stuff,

B2C is harder to get consistent users and attention.

B2B is harder to sell, but once it clicks, it tends to be more stable.

@pmitu Solo founder life is the pits.

Some days it feels like you’re doing ten jobs at once and none of them well.

But you keep moving anyway.

[Prince Nktlo @Reign_Builds]

@aryanlabde Yeah I was honestly blindsided going into this.

We all kinda thought vibe coding would be quick wins and overnight success, but nah… it’s way more work than it looks from the outside.

Wish I knew that before starting, I definitely wasn’t ready for it.

@FashWrites This is something I've been learning lately.

It's easy to compare your journey to people online, but not everyone is trying to build the same life.

@rashiumapathi Build in public has probably been the biggest lesson for me.

People can't support something they don't know exists.

[Prince Nktlo @Reign_Builds]

@parkerworth Really needed to hear this.

Sometimes it feels like I'm not making any progress at all, so this was a good reminder that showing up every day and continuing to build is progress.

[Prince Nktlo @Reign_Builds]

@laurencebuilds That phase where only you can see the vision is both exciting and exhausting. Building something nobody understands yet can be a weird feeling for sure.

[Prince Nktlo @Reign_Builds]

@AndrejVidinevic boring is where the money usually is, unfortunately

[Prince Nktlo @Reign_Builds]

@Audrey7866 starting messy and adjusting on the go is basically the whole game

[Prince Nktlo @Reign_Builds]

@santoshstack It's funny how the advice never changes, but everyone keeps looking for a secret formula.

[Prince Nktlo @Reign_Builds]

@MalayRaval11 Getting users is definitely the hardest

[Prince Nktlo @Reign_Builds]

@Sherifdeenolat2 A lot of founders fall in love with building and forget they need customers too.

[Prince Nktlo @Reign_Builds]

@siddharthwv the irony is most people call entrepreneurship risky while staying in something that can also disappear overnight

[Prince Nktlo @Reign_Builds]

@pmitu Great breakdown. I definitely learned this the hard way lol

[Prince Nktlo @Reign_Builds]

@Jeremy___a Thanks 🙏 that’s exactly the angle I’m going for. Would be great to connect.

[Prince Nktlo @Reign_Builds]

@RyanTNotes Half the battle is just opening the laptop and touching the thing you've been avoiding

[Prince Nktlo @Reign_Builds]

@harry_ngala10 Needed this reminder. It's surprisingly hard to tell the difference between urgency and anxiety sometimes.

@Anoyroyc sleeping 8 hours is the most underrated one on this list tbh
