Stoked, level unlocked.
Someone I don't know requested an invite to @pingerdotsocial, logged in and published a Ping.
Hoping this is the first step towards Product-market fit.
Don't give up.
Quick everyone my twitter is buggy and not working properly.
You should all go and try Pinger: an invite-only and respectful social network just for people.
I’ll see you there!
Days 16-20 of posting about building Pinger.
Trying to reduce the number of features my MVP has.
More features, more problems.
There is a tension between Minimum and Viable in my MVP.
I need to get it in front of peope sooner rather than later.
Day 10 of posting about building Pinger didn’t happen as my family and I were traveling from South Africa to the United Kingdom.
Traveling with a baby and a toddler is not for the faint of heart. Rest is very much needed.
So here is Day 11 of posting about building Pinger.
Some days there will be no progress. It may feel like going backwards.
It’s ok.
Not every day needs to be a home run.
Day 4 of posting about Pinger.
One of the first things I did before starting to build Pinger was to sit down and write a manifesto.
It has gone through a load of iterations but I read it every day and it fuels the building.
You can read it below, let me know what you think?
Here they are:
1. Be kind.
2. Follow the spirit.
3. Assume the best.
4. Respect Everyone.
5. Protect people's privacy.
6. Keep it real and authentic.
7. Share honestly and truthfully.
8. No ads, bots, scams or spam.
Does your product have guidelines?
May is here and I need to start sharing more about Pinger and how I'm building it differently. Stealth mode is over.
Putting together and refining the Pinger Community Guidelines has been so rewarding.
My MVP checklist for Pinger:
• built in a few months ✅
• very limited functionality ✅
• appeals to a small set of users (so far me 😅) ✅
• making sure I don’t get attached to it ❌
@PLBompard This month I’ll be building Pinger in Public.
Pinger is the social network I’ve always wanted to create.
This is a screenshot of the top of the Pings page.
BEAST GAME EPISODE 3 IS OUT NOW!
To celebrate, I'm giving away $100,000 total to 10 random people who like and retweet this post!

🎙️ Run it back to my favourite post-match interview ever..
Watford’s Ken Sema scored two, including the winner against West Brom and he bravely came out to conduct his interview even though he suffers from a stammer.
Inspirational stuff. 🇸🇪❤️
I’m not quite sure how to explain what’s happened tonight, because it’s still happening - but here goes…
At 4:40pm I jumped on a train from London to Edinburgh..
It was comfy, it was quiet
In hindsight, too good to last…
