Founder @ Rove Setups. 3 extra screens for your laptop, office in a backpack. Built it because I work from 3 countries. 🇨🇭🇮🇹🇦🇪

POV: your whole office fits in a bag.

Looks harmless. Then it unfolds and your laptop screen stops being your entire world. Where are you working from this weekend? #remotework

@EcomSucker Rule that saved me: no kills before 48h unless spend is way past target CPA. Do you judge on 1-day or 7-day click now?

@qwntas Comedians work the same way, punchline first, then build the setup backwards. Best one I've got: nobody on my calls knows I'm in a hotel room.

@Bjoern_Hev Rockies would be epic. I grew up in Switzerland, so honestly I'd end up back in the Alps with a lake view. Full year or just the winters?

@mannatgupta146 Idempotency key per email fixes that for good. Generate it when the draft is created and have the server reject a second send with the same key, a disabled button alone still lets retries slip through. How are you queueing the sends?

@RijnHartman Best way to do it honestly. Enjoy it, and send a pic of your desk view once you're there.

@parisbayarea Swiss-born with an Italian dad and a Portuguese mom here, so moving around felt normal growing up too. Did that Miami school year stick with you?

@jamdraper Fair, a café table is a terrible office anyway. The six hours on one latte crowd ruined it for everyone. Would a two hour limit be the better middle ground?

[Ruben | Rove Setups @rubncalabrese]

@RijnHartman I'd start with Vietnam, the south is dry in January while Bali is still in rainy season. Are you working the whole time or half holiday?

[Ruben | Rove Setups @rubncalabrese]

@InclusivelyR Six months is the length that actually changes how you work. It's long enough to rent a place with a real desk instead of living off hotel tables. Curious what the income requirement looks like.

@harundotdev Underrated check. The forgotten cert is usually harmless, it's the forgotten DNS record still pointing at a dead host that gets taken over. Do you clean up DNS in the same pass?

@PhantomStays Makes sense, with ecom ad spend the points pay for a few flights a year. The harder part is opening one as a non-US founder. Does he run it through a US LLC?

[Ruben | Rove Setups @rubncalabrese]

@EcomSucker Cart pairs over gut feeling, makes sense. The hero pays for the ads, the pair pays for the margin. Do you price the bundle off the cheaper item or off the total?

A second screen that lives in my laptop bag. Click it on and get to work, wherever you are. Where's the weirdest place you've worked from?

[Ruben | Rove Setups @rubncalabrese]

Pulled it out of the bag, click, second screen. The hotel lobby is my office now.

[Ruben | Rove Setups @rubncalabrese]

Monday. Empty meeting room, one bag. A few seconds later it's a full office. What's the first thing you set up when you sit down to work?

[Ruben | Rove Setups @rubncalabrese]

@krunalbuilds Async job, progress bar, email the file when it's done. "Feels instant" means the click responds instantly, not that 2 million rows show up instantly. The real fight is "partners" though. Same columns as admins?

[Ruben | Rove Setups @rubncalabrese]

@qwntas Hardware, the hard way 😄 What are you changing on the desk? If you mostly work off a laptop, this is what we make: https://t.co/nCE0gGesTC

@EcomSucker Bundles keep the price anchor intact too, nobody learns to wait for the 30% drop. Do you build them around the hero product or around what people already buy together?
