Interesting that you picked LinkedIn over X for build in public — that's where your actual industrial buyers live. As a student I'd default to Twitter, but maybe that's the wrong room entirely. Does the Friday cadence ever turn into real conversations, or mostly quiet cheering from the sidelines?
@pobidowski As a student, this is weirdly reassuring — everyone online screams 'quit and go all in'. If the guy at $8.8K MRR says a salary makes build-in-public better, then campus is basically free runway. Did the job actually make you more honest about posting the bad months?
@MacdevM Speed > funding is exactly why I feel lucky to be starting now as a student — AI lets one person do the work of 10. But your pinned post says 12 months of building earned ~$3000. So is the real advantage shipping fast, or getting more at-bats before the money runs out?
@nicobuildss That 'copy the pattern, not the content' lesson is real — I copied tactics verbatim before and they flopped hard. 57→1000 downloads in 30 days is bold, but a public scoreboard keeps you honest. Which of the four goals feels most within reach vs scariest?
Shopify sellers buy a survey tool called Zigpoll — a one-man SaaS. Per founder Jason Zigelbaum (Oct 2026 interview): ~$142K MRR, no marketing breakthrough. He just narrowed to one niche, and the App Store became his distribution. Aim smaller, grow steadier.
Everyone warned me quitting would feel lonely. Nobody mentioned it'd feel productive. Nobody claps, nobody reports — just me, a notebook, and strangers telling me what's actually broken in their day. I've never listened this carefully in my life.
@EAbrahams69 +7 followers in a day on day 14 — the daily updates are clearly working. For billing keep it simple with Stripe until real demand shows up, and run all AI through one gateway so you're not juggling five APIs with 8 users. What does the product do?
@NnekaBuilds Turning reply feedback straight into v2 is exactly why building in public works. Curious about the approval prompts gap — were they missing on genuinely risky actions like those hidden deletes, or was it more of a wording thing? Also what's your mod actually do in one sentence?
https://t.co/qDnxTy8ByF sells forms in Typeform's world — and wins on pricing, not features. Free = unlimited forms and responses. The $29/mo paywall only unlocks logic jumps. ~$3M ARR, ~10 people, per the founder's own blog. Your pricing structure can be the product.
@filip_hood layover building is honestly iconic lol. +148 from zero in two weeks is no joke either. i'm a college student in chengdu on my first tiny product, and the 1-app-a-month cadence is something i want to steal. does the MRR clock reset if a month slips?
