@IQTHINK CEO by day | father of twins by night prev: nxcorp ⚾️@cubs fan 📮[email protected] 🚀 Shaping apps one cycle at a time.

[Jeisson @jeisson]

At @IQTHINK we don’t do sprints, scrum, agile, etc… we Shape Up by @basecamp @rjs @jasonfried @dhh. Highly recommend it to any company that is running in circles and not getting stuff done.

[iqthink @iqthink]

People constantly ask us how we get things done so quickly.We don't do sprints.

We don't have backlogs. We work in 5-week cycles, we pick one thing, figure out how much time it deserves, and we ship it.

If it's not done by then, we don't extend the time. We change the scope.

No backlog means no guilt. If something really matters, it comes back.That's how we work at iqthink.

[iqthink @iqthink]

Sometimes you have to scratch your own itch. That's how CanDo! came to be.

We've used Basecamp for years and we noticed an opportunity to build something on top of it. The tools we were using didn't connect with Basecamp the way we needed, so we created our own.

Every new cycle, the day after kickoff was basically lost. Almost a full day just organizing.

So we built one small thing. A full day became 5 minutes.

@jasonzimdars @37signals Huge milestone! Congrats Jason! Next up: Hey 2? 😉

[iqthink @iqthink]

Our new social links landing is live! After looking at the usual players we decided to just create our own! finally! thank you team 🙏

@saismo What plane is that?

[Jeisson @jeisson]

@saismo I completely agree. Sometimes I just want to delegate it off, but there are just some things that you gotta buckle down and fix yourself, especially people issues.

My least favorite part of the job.

[Jeisson @jeisson]

@saismo @whale I'm learning something that is very cliché, but in tough times is when you really know who you've got. In the last 18 months, I've discovered amazing connections and friendships. Feel blessed even amidst the bad because of those true friends and family.

[Jeisson @jeisson]

@dhh San José as in Costa Rica or California? We need something closer to LATAM. I can help you guys get a server in Colombia if you want 😆

[Jeisson @jeisson]

@dhh @rockatanescu San José? Does https://t.co/U4c73Yu0lP still work to what server we are connected to?

[Jeisson @jeisson]

Me waiting for Basecamp 5 to drop tonight…

[Jeisson @jeisson]

@bradmillscan @conductor_build is second to none but clause subscriptions are going away in June :/

[Jeisson @jeisson]

Very misleading and basically using others people’s work without contributing back.

Here are 10 GitHub repos that quietly print money while you sleep.

1. Cal. com
Open-source Calendly. Fork it, white-label it, sell to dentists and lawyers for $200/month. The founders hit $5M ARR in 3 years doing exactly this.
Repo → https://t.co/haz8ihRsHm

2. Plausible Analytics
Privacy-first Google Analytics. Self-host it, resell to agencies for $50/month per client. Two founders bootstrapped this to 7 figures.
Repo → https://t.co/RFrcpqTBQ7

3. Ghost
Open-source Substack with 100% margin. 1,000 readers at $5/month equals $60,000 a year. Forever.
Repo → https://t.co/Z1MdZ5Zapg

4. n8n
Open-source Zapier. Sell automation services for $500-$2,000 per setup. n8n raised $14M because the agency model behind it works.
Repo → https://t.co/hdycABGGc1

5. Supabase
Free Firebase replacement. Build a SaaS in a weekend, charge $29-$99/month. They raised $116M for a reason.
Repo → https://t.co/dFB2QvafA7

6. Medusa
Open-source Shopify. Take 5% on every sale forever. Zero rev share to Shopify.
Repo → https://t.co/uEuCK6zuZO

7. AppFlowy
Open-source Notion. Sell self-hosted to enterprises worried about data privacy. They raised $30M because this market is massive.
Repo → https://t.co/IDMykTCkMU

8. Coolify
Open-source Vercel and Heroku. Charge developers $20/month to manage their deployments. Replace their $200 Vercel bill.
Repo → https://t.co/N5Fk22qraT

9. Listmonk
Open-source Mailchimp. Send unlimited emails for the cost of an AWS bill. Resell to agencies at 10x markup.
Repo → https://t.co/NS6Uukcklw

10. Penpot
Open-source Figma. Sell self-hosted design tools to agencies who refuse to upload client files to the cloud.
Repo → https://t.co/Lx1CYUP4p4

The difference between developers who build features and developers who build businesses is one decision.

Pick one of these. Fork it this weekend. Ship it next week.

The founders behind these repos already proved the model.

Save this. Share it with the developer in your life who deserves to break free.

100% free. 100% open source.

@lewiscarhart Frontend: Rails w/ Hotwire
Backend: Rails
Auth: built in with rails 🤔

[Jeisson @jeisson]

@AmandaBPerino @catdaddyissues I also wonder if people that would want to go know they’re available. I had it in my calendar and I think I got an email but not as much build up as Amsterdam IMO

I’m sure it’ll be a success regardless. You do amazing events!!! :)

[Jeisson @jeisson]

@AmandaBPerino @catdaddyissues How many? If you can share.

[Jeisson @jeisson]

@AmandaBPerino @catdaddyissues What’s the refund policy if some of my team members can’t the visa? We are all hoping to go but US state dept might say otherwise 😢
