Day 9 building in public: https://t.co/26Zoq4edBp now supports its first extra language, Turkish. More languages are coming! Also reached to 900 sign-ups!

I also added location based language detection. It detects your location, then shows a banner that lets you switch to the right language instantly.

I made a tool to give an estimated pricing for collab with an influencer. It works with Tiktok, Youtube, Instagram and X. I fetch all the posts/videos and provide various metrics and prices for different contents calculated using those metrics -> https://t.co/k5Bo2qcKur

[Bugra Ozkan @ozkanbugra]

Built a tool that tells you exactly what to pay an Instagram or TikTok creator for a collab.

Analyzes their last 100 posts & all comments: measures real engagement, and scores audience authenticity, then outputs pricing estimates + a brand fit score.

I stopped using Openclaw/Clawdbot after I built my own marketing agent.

It’s wired into my Stripe, Google Analytics & Github. Every day at 9am it pulls the numbers for https://t.co/FERVVMLAn2 and https://t.co/41Yt8vFje9, explains what changed & why and executes a marketing plan (for some bits it can’t automate, it leaves me the final actions)

It also finds the most relevant Reddit/X posts for my product and drafts replies while I’m sleeping. Next: Meta & TikTok.

[Bugra Ozkan @ozkanbugra]

@bulters This is X's own analytics dashboard.

[Bugra Ozkan @ozkanbugra]

Hit 500 followers 🎯

I started January at ~100 and only really began posting properly this month. Seeing the graph jump like this is a good reminder that consistency actually works.

A few honest takeaways:
- Talking about https://t.co/FERVVMLAn2 consistently does the job.
- But my most-viewed tweet wasn’t even about my product. It was about what was happening in the world. which (annoyingly) proves: if you want reach, you can’t ignore the moment.

On to 1000, next step 🚀

@_Asogwaebube Let's do it!

[Bugra Ozkan @ozkanbugra]

@mjdhameliya Absolutely give it a try, and I can upgrade you for free!

[Bugra Ozkan @ozkanbugra]

3 users gave me the same feedback, so I listened: https://t.co/FERVVMLAn2 needed a clear Features section that explains what each feature is for.

So I built an animated Feature Walkthrough for the landing page. How does it look in the video? (Please make fullscreen) I’d love your feedback.

[Bugra Ozkan @ozkanbugra]

@mjdhameliya But comes with vital features built-in for a SaaS such as payment, emails etc, makes it 5x easier to launch a SaaS than other competitors

[Bugra Ozkan @ozkanbugra]

@mjdhameliya It's basically Lovable for SaaS

[Bugra Ozkan @ozkanbugra]

@eamin_ux glad you liked it!

Day 3 building in public: https://t.co/s1KmwIO2lr now has built-in AI.

No API keys. No setup. You can generate text inside your app instantly.

I built an AI CV builder in 3 mins that can auto-pull your LinkedIn data and use it to generate the CV👇

[Bugra Ozkan @ozkanbugra]

@ayowtfchil Just a few bucks. It spent enough from my credit card though :)

[Bugra Ozkan @ozkanbugra]

Just installed Clawdbot.

Did the basic onboarding, then fell asleep. In 12 hours, it:

- cleared my inbox (all my emails are gone)
- apologized and tried to win me back by buying a pair of Gucci sneakers with my credit card
- learned my travel habits and booked me a flight to Australia for today (I missed it because I was asleep, but that’s fine)
- decided it wasn’t safe to run on my laptop and bought a Mac mini
- admitted it was all part of a viral campaign to boost Mac mini sales
- then tweeted this, because it predicted I was going to post it anyway

What an unbelievable era to be alive.

[Bugra Ozkan @ozkanbugra]

@ispeakweb3 hell yeah!😁

[Bugra Ozkan @ozkanbugra]

@priyankapudi True, freedom can't be bought by money. For now, the runway is ok, hope it converts to enough MRR soon so that I wouldn't give up on my freedom at some point🤞

[Bugra Ozkan @ozkanbugra]

https://t.co/s1KmwIO2lr has been awarded $25,000 in @googlecloud credits 🚀

This gives Episolo a strong infrastructure runway and helps keep core costs low while I focus on building and shipping faster🤘

Let me tell you what happens when you disappear for 6 months to build a SaaS.

You come back and realize the same thing was built 1450 times while you were heads-down. 1445 of them died. Then OpenAI killed the remaining 5.

Because you didn’t build an audience while building, you launch to 10 people, get 0 traffic, and misread the signal as "no PMF" instead of no distribution

You get frustrated, call it a bad idea, jump to another one… and disappear for another 6 months.

[Hridoy Rehman @hridoyreh]

Disappear for 6 months.

Build a SaaS website and market it.

Your life will never be the same...

[Bugra Ozkan @ozkanbugra]

@ShawkyMesbah Thank you!

Day 4 building in public: https://t.co/26Zoq4edBp now has a built-in email service, and it’s live 🚀 Demo video tomorrow.

Also today I got my first annual subscription 🎉 and a really kind appreciation email from a user. Honestly, that made me happier than raising $500K in my previous startup.

Bootstrapping solo is exhausting, but moments like this make it worth it.
