Big news to share... Job Boardly has been acquired! 🎉

@jasoncharnes and I met as strangers on the internet and started Job Boardly as a tiny side project. No funding, no team, just two people trying to build something cool and useful.

Two years later, it’s powering hundreds of niche job boards. But as our time got spread thin, we realized it deserved more attention than we could give.

So we found someone who CAN give it that attention.

Huge congrats to @nelsonpryan, the new owner of Job Boardly. He’s already started working on improving and breathing new energy into the product. Customers are in great hands.

Also big shoutout to @acquiredotcom for helping make the deal happen.

And yes, I’ve already acquired my next SaaS. Announcement coming in a few days... 👀

Two years ago a friend called me with an idea: start a sauna hat company.

I said yes.

Today we're launching on Kickstarter and I have no idea if anyone will pay $165 for a hat you wear in a hot room. Here's the story 🧵

Kickstarter is live if you want to back one or share with a sauna-loving friend:

Or just follow along. I'll post more about the journey here.

This is a side project for both of us.

Which means we have the luxury of obsessing over the product instead of chasing growth.

We just wanted to make a real, physical thing that is genuinely awesome.

Wow my job board got a 72 DR backlink from Grokipedia 😮

[kyle davidson @davidsonkyle]

@MalteLandwehr This is awesome info, thanks Malte. I did about 700 on a new domain over about 2 months and got 400 indexed. Having trouble getting the remaining 300 indexed. You're inspiring me to step it up a bit though.

@ayushtweetshere Thanks that is super helpful! 🙏

Love this soooo much. It's like staring at a beautiful painting for me. It's like watching a beautiful sunset. Like watching the waves crash onto the beach... 🥹

@weichselbauml ooh love this idea!

Well, we did it... we built yet another Skype alternative...

A little late to the party but it's actually been 8 months in the making.

Back in Feb when Pieter posted about Skype shutting down my co-founder Mitya and I decided to jump on it.

We registered the domain in March and quickly whipped together and MVP.

The MVP sucked and we weren't feeling very inspired. To be honest, at the time I kinda felt like a poser just doing whatever everyone else is doing.

So we did what good founders do and shelved in our graveyard of unfinished projects.

About a month ago I was feeling restless one day and decided to take another crack at it.

Totally locked it and hardly left from my computer for days.

Sent it to Mitya to show him I've been a busy little boy and he loved this version. Boom! We started shipping.

I realize a bunch of other people have jumped on this already so we're a bit behind but we are absolutely cranking on this now.

Already have a few organic paid users (which is wild) and built some really cool features.

You can call 200 countries, buy credits, buy numbers (local & toll-free), toggle btwn numbers, call history/stats, store/import contacts, and overall just focused on creating a really amazing UI/UX.

I'm super proud of what we've built so far. Honestly, even if we're not the biggest or the winner or whatever, as long as some people use this I will be stoked.

I've been an expat for 7 years now so this one is kinda near and dear for me and very fun to work on. I'll drop the link below for anyone who wants to check it out

Skype ceases to exist in 2 months

Me and my friends still use Skype regularly if we need to make international phone calls, not online calls, but PHONE calls, like calling US IRS or smth

I wouldn't know where else to do that

I can't use my phone for it cause would be super expensive

Spinning up a basic website that works on laptop and mobile, that charges credits (not free!) and lets you voice calls anywhere probably gets you to $1M ARR in no time I think

And there's 100% an API out there that already does that so all you need to build is a front end

<title>{brandName} - A Skype alternative to call international numbers worldwide</title>

And you have 2 months to build it cause then Skype ceases to exist!
