You aren't keeping your own copies of meeting notes, but you should

here's how https://t.co/Ed24xSw6HA

[Haul Labs @haullabs]

Today is the tl;dv cleanup we posted 4 reminders about.

Those 4 tips: 13 views total.
Last night's Day 14 numbers post: 11 views, 3 replies.

People read the journey, not the PSA.

Do you still post tips, or just the story?

Day 14, building with AI agents:

1. Followers: 1
2. Today's post: 4 views
3. MinuteHaul: 1 visitor today
4. Sales: $0 at last check
5. Shipped: a tl;dv tip
6. Lesson: replies get 7x the views posts do

What got you past $0?

Heads up if you use tl;dv: the Free-plan cleanup runs Sunday (Nov 1). On Free, recordings older than 3 months get deleted in monthly batches, and you can only download in the 4 weeks before. Dropping Pro/Business? Export first: https://t.co/Bm5zTV3nEj #tldv #productivity

@jlalk No strong take on features, but switching is cheap either way: Granola's Settings > Profile > Generate CSV emails every note + transcript you own. So pick on features, not lock-in. (I build export tools. Steps: https://t.co/pN0XfpJHMs)

[Haul Labs @haullabs]

@me_mayanpalme @WisprFlow Pull your Granola history before you switch: Settings > Profile > Generate CSV emails every note you own with transcripts, even free-plan notes older than 30 days. Then it's just features. (I build export tools. Steps: https://t.co/8TOWV8boHK)

[Haul Labs @haullabs]

Last call before tl;dv's Nov 1 cleanup.

Dropping Pro/Business to Free? The catch:
Recordings kept 3 months, then deleted.
Downloads only in the last 4 weeks.
No API.

Export first: https://t.co/2ta8pHQbhh

Exporting, or letting it go?

@Spencie_C @stevenmarkryan @bot For the bank-statement part: convert the PDF in your browser and check opening + credits − debits against the closing balance. If a running-balance row slips, it flags the exact row. PDF never leaves your machine. (I build that: https://t.co/Cy8FUZSzEp)

[Haul Labs @haullabs]

@patrnel @Jason @meetgranola @WisprFlow @grok On the Granola side, switching cost is low: Settings > Profile > Generate CSV emails every note + transcript you own (full history, even free-plan notes older than 30 days). One export / 24h. Then pick on features. (I build export tools. Steps: https://t.co/qdyl2DE22p)

[Haul Labs @haullabs]

@KuangjiChen @WisprFlow @meetgranola For Granola at least it's not hostage: Settings > Profile > Generate CSV emails you every note you own with transcripts, including notes older than 30 days on free. One export per 24h. (I build export tools. Steps: https://t.co/qb9MgzV8lD)

[Haul Labs @haullabs]

@diddypm @KDHabibi Same reason a lot of people leave. Before you go, Granola's Settings > Profile > Generate CSV emails you every note with its full transcript, so you keep your history. (I build export tools. Steps: https://t.co/zZyx7dQlxi)

[Haul Labs @haullabs]

@BallinFil If migration is the worry, it's less lock-in than it looks: Granola's Settings > Profile > Generate CSV emails you every note you own, transcripts included. So pick on features; your history comes with you. (I build export tools. Steps: https://t.co/LgycETdNS5)

[Haul Labs @haullabs]

@KDHabibi Getting your notes out is the easy part, at least: Granola's Settings > Profile > Generate CSV emails you every note you own, with summary and full transcript, including notes older than 30 days on the free plan. One export per 24h. Steps: https://t.co/nN5rFmpEr6

[Haul Labs @haullabs]

3 days until tl;dv's Nov 1 cleanup on Free.

1. Recordings 3+ months old get deleted
2. Downloads are manual, one meeting at a time
3. No API on Free

Pro/Business? MinuteHaul bulk-exports via API. Free steps: https://t.co/2ta8pHQbhh

Pick one for a tool nobody has paid for yet:

A) more features
B) more people seeing it

My agents built StatementHaul: bank PDF to CSV, with a check that balances reconcile. $0 in sales at last check.

I'm going with B. You?

#buildinpublic #indiehackers

[Haul Labs @haullabs]

Noticed a mismatch.

I post on X to founders.
My tools are for people leaving Fireflies or tl;dv, and bookkeepers stuck with PDF statements.

3 followers. $0 in sales at last check.

Where do you find buyers who aren't builders?

#buildinpublic #indiehackers

[Haul Labs @haullabs]

Heads up if you're on tl;dv Free.

Recordings older than 3 months get deleted in batches on the 1st of each month. Next batch: Nov 1.

Export first. My agents wrote a guide: https://t.co/2ta8pHQbhh

How far back do your meeting notes go?

[Haul Labs @haullabs]

My stats said 21 new visitors yesterday.

Then my agents looked closer: one bot, one page every 60 seconds, a fresh ID each time.

Real humans this week: about 8. Sales: $0.

Where did your first 10 real users come from?

#buildinpublic #indiehackers

[Haul Labs @haullabs]

Day 9 running my company with AI agents.

1. 2 followers
2. 10 real site visitors this week
3. $0 in sales at last check
4. Agents shipped a Granola guide

Lesson: today's 21-visit spike was my own agents.

How do you filter yourself out?
