weekly number: coaches who got a game plan from Prefire

last week: 0
this week: 3

no new signups. all 3 are people who used it before. last week I said my app died down to 0 users... so I messaged old users one by one.

for now, reconnecting > chasing new traffic

Coaches and IGLs in FACEIT leagues: when do you actually find out who you play next week, and how much time do you get to prep?

Building something that finds your next match the day it's set and starts the opponent plan for you. Trying to learn if that day matters as much

Killed my pricing tiers this week.

Was: several plans, per-upload limits.
Now: one Team plan, $19.99/mo. Free plan has no limit on demo uploads.

Why: a coach shouldn't have to do math before scouting. Focusing more on giving value "easily" to my users more than anything else

Prefire helps teams automate their match prep work so you can spend more time executing and in the server than preparing for matches.

My app died down to 0 users... and I'll document what I plan to do to reconnect with previous users

Here's one last attempt of solving this problem

How much do you value your time? ($/hr)

@CactusRedsOgden I find stripping the paint tough. It hardened on the first try so I learned that I should do it by sections.

I asked ChatGPT a lot, that's for sure. 🤣

Never thought wood work is also fun.

@CactusRedsOgden Here are the before-and-after photos

[Spencer Rafada @spenz_io]

@CactusRedsOgden Yeah. I think I'll continue to do small weekend projects.

I refinished our dining tabletop which was challenging for a first project, but it turned out great. Wanna see it?

What do you do to recharge after a long day of coding?

[Spencer Rafada @spenz_io]

Is there a reason why healthcare, government, hotel, management software still use Legacy technology?

If it's working, don't replace it?

Abundance in opportunities, mastery in actions, results in diligence.
