@marckohlbrugge We all do… 💯

[Tim van Iersel @Tim_vanIersel]

Added special Rank Tracking page to Zoekwoord to make it a bit easier for users. Still pretty basic.

[Tim van Iersel @Tim_vanIersel]

@danielcberk @Spotify Yea, would be a great fix.

[Tim van Iersel @Tim_vanIersel]

Spent most of today improving workflows.
Custom CLI tools, small automations.

Less clicking, more building 🏗️.

[Tim van Iersel @Tim_vanIersel]

@erwblo Nu nog minder netjes laten schrijven. Ook dat hoort bij een 6 jarige :-)

[Tim van Iersel @Tim_vanIersel]

@mathiasnoyez Aangezien dat nu een van de databronnen is niet veel :-)

[Tim van Iersel @Tim_vanIersel]

Added Belgium search data (BE-nl) 🇧🇪 to Zoekwoord.

First data is in the database 🙌.

[Tim van Iersel @Tim_vanIersel]

Still not used to writing in Dutch on this platform but I might try it out in time.

[Tim van Iersel @Tim_vanIersel]

Surprisingly handy feature that all tweets are auto translated to English (or whatever settings you have X on).

Makes it a lot more accessible to more people 👏.

[Tim van Iersel @Tim_vanIersel]

Today mostly doing freelance work.

If there is any time left it will be to create a marketing site and examples for my new interactive video platform. Looking forward to launching it 🎬🚀

March 2026, also not a good month

🔎 Zoekwoord - €450
🔗 Linkjuice - €10

Also more freelance work from new and returning clients.

Focussing on releasing the interactive video platform this month and marketing.

[Tim van Iersel @Tim_vanIersel]

February 2026 wasn’t a good month.

🔎 Zoekwoord — €150 (-75%)
🔗 Linkjuice — €30 (-40%)

Luckily there was enough freelance work to makenup for it. Focussing on marketing of these tools in March.

The idea has always stayed with me.

Recently I have started again with this concept.

This time built from scratch and with more focus on concrete applications.

[Tim van Iersel @Tim_vanIersel]

5 years ago I already built an interactive video tool.

Interactions as a layer on top of YouTube videos.
Technically it worked, but it remained mainly an experiment.

[Tim van Iersel @Tim_vanIersel]

Interest was limited at the time.
In retrospect, I just did it wrong in terms of marketing.

I didn't show enough what you could do with it in practice.

[Tim van Iersel @Tim_vanIersel]

@PayPerMitch @DanKulkov Managed to get to 25% of the 5 day limit this week 😅.

[Tim van Iersel @Tim_vanIersel]

Making great progress with the new tool I’m building.

Got the basic functionality working, now moving on to integrating payments and getting a launching page up.

[Tim van Iersel @Tim_vanIersel]

Recreating a tool from 5 years ago.

Found the original todo lists.

What once required weeks of work now takes hours.

The pace of software development has shifted 💯.

[Tim van Iersel @Tim_vanIersel]

Switched to React as that is long term the smarter choice for this project.

[Tim van Iersel @Tim_vanIersel]

New project on the way 🙌
