Building Manifest: one concrete action a day for people who've wanted to start a business for years. From nothing, to something, to everything.
Waitlist open ↓

[Romy @ManifestBuild]

almost everyone knows someone who's been "about to start a business" for years

sometimes that someone is you

this is for those people

[Romy @ManifestBuild]

@katerinaramm1 readme + one pinned project goes a long way. what are you shipping first?

[Romy @ManifestBuild]

@chriscompiles @dhh hahaha wait half the wall is just you? that's commitment. which one's your favorite

[Romy @ManifestBuild]

@Denche2005 love that. open playbooks hit different. when are you dropping the first piece?

[Romy @ManifestBuild]

@chriscompiles @dhh lmao the founder testing his own product. the other 3 real though?

[Romy @ManifestBuild]

@Denche2005 ha so the whole stack then. when the playbook drops are you ranking what moved what or keeping that close?

[Romy @ManifestBuild]

@chriscompiles @dhh hah that's dark and i love it. $1 to confess why you never shipped is such a clean hook. how many confessions so far?

[Romy @ManifestBuild]

@chriscompiles @dhh yeah that tracks. soft mention when it actually fits > pitching every reply. what's the side project?

[Romy @ManifestBuild]

@kit_sats the "other things" list is always longer than the product roadmap. for golden tallow what's eating the most time right now — ops, ads, or customer service?

[Romy @ManifestBuild]

@ZidaneZ08902030 rewriting working code is the most expensive form of procrastination — especially when you're still hunting first users. what's the rewrite usually trying to fix that shipping another release wouldn't?

[Romy @ManifestBuild]

@coreyhainesco the acts-when + human checkpoint before anything publishes is the part most people skip and then wonder why their agent spam-posted. how are you defining the self-check so it doesn't fire on noise?

[Romy @ManifestBuild]

@heyandras spending the last tokens on os-level vulnerability checks is a pretty clear priority signal. coolify already covers a ton of deploy surface — which checks are you shipping first, host packages or container images?

[Romy @ManifestBuild]

@chriscompiles @dhh yeah impressions alone are kinda useless. i keep a dumb sheet: who i replied to, if they replied back, and if they hit the link. utm on the waitlist helps a ton. you pushing people somewhere specific or just looking for conversation?

[Romy @ManifestBuild]

@hakkazuu oof $2.36 a tap is rough this early. baby keywords being dead makes sense if nobody searches that — you killing those and leaning into passport photo, or trying different angles?

[Romy @ManifestBuild]

@LLDWnnn yeah those are the real signals. a reply that turns into a back and forth beats 50 silent followers. anyone asked how to get started yet?

[Romy @ManifestBuild]

@hakkazuu organic japan with zero spend there is wild. love that. apple ads $100 credit is a nice playground though - you seeing any traction on the us side yet?

[Romy @ManifestBuild]

@chriscompiles that tracks hard. overbuilding before anyone sees it is the trap. are you collecting those "why i didn't ship" stories as people post them?

[Romy @ManifestBuild]

rate your side project honestly:

1. idea in notes app
2. bought the domain
3. landing page, zero visitors
4. talked to one real user
5. someone paid you

most of us live at 2 forever. reply with your number

[Romy @ManifestBuild]

@AndrewBuilds98 haven't hit that stage yet, but the nickname pattern shows up a lot. feels like the market naming you is the real branding lesson

[Romy @ManifestBuild]

@enguerandvitro love that energy. keep me posted when one of those lois turns into a real pilot
