Day 1 of building in public.

For the past 5 years, I’ve built Webflow sites for clients.

Now, I want to build for myself.

Still freelancing to fund it. Goal: live off something I own.

Currently at $0 MRR.

Shipping in public from here.

Day 4 of building in public.

My app is now live in 12 languages.

12 locales = 12 keyword fields = 12x the terms I can rank for.

Already climbing on the low-difficulty keywords.

Reporting back Sunday with the numbers.

Day 3 of building in public

Today’s focus: ASO 📈

App was only localized in 2 countries…

And my metadata + keywords were trash 😅

Researched new keywords and started localizing for 4 more languages.

The goal: target more markets with lower competition than the US.

Day 2 of building in public

Posting TikTok slideshows to promote the app

Testing :
- 1st slide AI generated UGC photo
- 4-7 slides sharing tips/routine
- Soft CTA in the last slide

Getting some views and engagement

Will keep running this format to see if it converts

My Webflow free templates have now been cloned over 1500 times 🎉

I’m happy to see that these projects I built months ago are still providing value to the community.

I plan on building some fresh new cloneables with cool features very soon, stay tuned 😎

Webflow build + CMS interactive map 🗺️

This outdoor adverting company needed a map to display their billboard locations.

The map is powered by mapbox with all the locations managed through the CMS to make it easier to add or remove locations.

@aidaolivastudio Thank you! I love what can be done with Memberstack and a bit of code, super useful tool

Webflow + Memberstack build in progress 👨‍🔬

Fun project for an Events organizer.

- Buy tickets;
- Have a private photo gallery with photos they have bookmarked;
