Marketing and distribution have been the hardest parts for me. I’m an engineer by trade, so talking about myself or my projects in public has never come naturally. It’s something I’ve struggled with for a long time, and honestly, I haven’t really learned how to market or distribute any of the products above properly.

My goal this year is to learn the art and craft of marketing, distribution, and storytelling.

Thanks to @jackfriks, @levelsio and @sergeynazarovx for the inspiration for this post.

Let’s see where this goes.

This is the way

[Termius @TermiusHQ]

Termius + Tailscale + tmux

You don't need your laptop to build with Claude Code, Codex, or any other AI coding agent:

→ Run your agent inside tmux to keep the session alive
→ Use @Tailscale for secure access to your laptop
→ Connect with Termius over SSH from iPhone, iPad, or Android

Start coding at your desk. Continue on the go.
