Gid

Building things:

[Gid @thaddeusmake]

Hi! I’m Gid, a software engineer who wants to be a maker.

I wanted to build the things in my imagination, not someone else’s.

I’ve decided to share my journey. Follow along and hopefully we’ll both learn something.

[Gid @thaddeusmake]

Struggling to work on important stuff and not on adding a dark mode 🤣

[Gid @thaddeusmake]

But despite the above, I actually spent most of the day hunting down issues with the on-boarding process and auth state management.

[Gid @thaddeusmake]

Just added a limited free tier to https://t.co/PC3YB91fgw. I also rebuilt the user signin/signup flow because it was a mess.

[Gid @thaddeusmake]

The free tier should be live sometime tomorrow. There is always a wait on publishing with the chrome store.

@dannypostma Sense of humour and keeping you humble? Lock that down 🤣

[Gid @thaddeusmake]

@jordansamz Damn dude. You’ve been busy. That’s an impressive portfolio of apps you’ve built. Congrats on the revenue. It looks to me like you’ve made your own luck.

[Gid @thaddeusmake]

@OngDevLab But that’s barely anyone 😜

[Gid @thaddeusmake]

I just discovered https://t.co/tM0oH8aPql on a reddit thread. This is by far the best way to browse coliving locations I've found.

@catchiestname 44 followers away from 50 🤣

@TheJackForge That is totally unnecessary… and so sexy 🔥

[Gid @thaddeusmake]

@JanuBuilds I’ve never worked on X 😭

I share everything I learn as a solopreneur every Saturday morning:

How to find startup ideas, launch fast, and get profitable ↓

[Gid @thaddeusmake]

@marclou Boilerplate vs familiar stack? Both is ideal. But how much overlap do you think there needs to be for the boiler plate to be an advantage?

[Gid @thaddeusmake]

Just think of the crazy percentage gains when I launch next time 🤣

[Gid @thaddeusmake]

But one upvote was still brutal. Especially after staying up until 4am for the launch. I’d have rather been roasted than unnoticed.

[Gid @thaddeusmake]

I definitely learned things. If nothing else, I know not to put too much time into that project. It’s not a total loss.

[Gid @thaddeusmake]

It wasn’t a serious project. Unfortunately, I think that showed. I was mainly publishing to get a feel for how the process works for future projects.

[Gid @thaddeusmake]

Solo making is hard. I launched a side project last night on product hunt and hacker news. I got a grand total of one upvote.

[Gid @thaddeusmake]

https://t.co/DlOPfpZ8d4 is now up on product hunt

[Gid @thaddeusmake]

Don't you hate it when you get to the co-work and the one other person there is in your usual spot. The disrespect 🤣
