Building 👨🏾‍💻 carenote.app - prayetic.com - directee.app - mobilize.dev | Pastoring through the intersections of Race, Faith, Abolition, & Technology | Ann Arbor City Planning Commissioner | Biking 🚴🏾‍♂️
Looking for solopreneurs between $1k–$9k MRR to connect with. It can be lonely building @carenote.app. I’d love a regular connection point with others at or just past this stage of business growth. DM me if interested. #buildinpublic

I spent 40 minutes in a future 11-year-old me could only dream about: an autonomous robot writing code using only my voice. I built a way to talk to Claude Code while out on a walk. Since starting to use CC over the past month, I was worried I'd always be tethered to a desk. That fear is gone. Wow!

I did something hard today. I announced CareNote v6 and emailed 400+ users a sneak peek of what’s next. A lot of anxiety released. v6 is a ground-up rebuild—faster, more secure, more capable. One timeline. One place. One system. Built to hold care better. #buildinpublic
CareNote v6: One Timeline, One Place, One System
CareNote v6 unifies notes, updates, and reports into one interaction timeline. Rebuilt privacy, email intake, and SMS-first care coordination.

Three new customers today in 2026. May this happen everyday this year! #buildinpublic

Lost a customer this morning at 11:45am. Reached out, figured out what they needed, won them back after dinner, about an hour ago. 🙌🏾 #buildinpublic

I've wanted to use more animations to explain features in CareNote today I built one with Claude. It's so freaking cool.

Hey 🏗️, I'm on schedule for my Advent calendar of posts for @carenote.app. 11 days in, and my engagement on FB is up 133%, it has resulted in anything but it's nice to say I'm trying. #buildinpublic.

How are you sharing content with potential customers? I'm posting daily on four social media sites.
December 11, 2025 at 7:43 PM
Hey 🏗️, Just finished an onboarding call, it was recorded and is being transcribed, mined for insights, and accessed by AI sales coach for next steps. This is the world I've wanted to make sure I stay on top customer onboarding and engagement. So nice! #buildinpublic

Hey 🏗️,

Finally, have my internal CRM up and running with daily tasks. I just completed the first task generated by my CRM. It’s nice to see all my trials and leads in one place and to know exactly where they are in the sales funnel—and what my next step is to close them. 🙌🏾 #buildinpublic

Hey 🏗️, Playing around with agentic coding tonight. I created something really beautiful. We processed 171 customer calls—transcribed, classified, extracted pain points and promised features. And then the agent refreshed and wiped the database without a backup. $115 and hours gone. #buildinpublic 😤

This took entirely too long to develop, but I finally finished my @carenote.app advent calendar of content.

I'm committing myself to posting content daily in four places. I'm using Advent to launch this content campaign. #buildinpublic

I'm enjoying this discussion in the Ann Arbor Politics fb group where they are attacking me for stating something factual, but I can't reply because I'm being moderated. #a2council

Hey 🏗️,

It’s been a wild 24 hours. I lost a sizable new customer yesterday, which stings even though you understand it. Then today, I gained a customer worth more than 3x that amount.

Building a SaaS is an emotional ride🎢. The swings are real. #buildinpublic

I’m feeling grateful today. I’m finalizing the terms for our church to receive an interest-free loan to pay off our mortgage.

It’s the result of a lot of behind-the-scenes work, relationship-building, and persistence. I created the conditions that made this possible and I’m extremely proud of that.

Once again, I’m so happy that I can upgrade my computer to the latest OS without worrying that my development environment will get f*ck’d. Thanks to the Laravel Herd team and @marcelpociot.bsky.social #muchgratitude

Hey 🏗️,

I built a command today to auto-generate my CareNote release notes. Since I use commit messages as my release log, AI can read and summarize them into a blog entry. And it worked—I can now automatically create the content I used to do manually. 🙌🏾 #buildinpublic

Hey 🏗️,

My sales dashboards are up and running, and I’m now ingesting my email, calendar, trials, intent surveys, and interactions so I have a clearer picture of my funnel. Tomorrow, I start contacting the 92 trialing leads who are ready to subscribe to CareNote. #buildinpublic
November 24, 2025 at 3:05 AM
So I'm capturing leads from all sources (web, email, phone, trials, sms) feeding them into dashboards to move them through my sales funnel to see if I can convert them into paying customers. First step: collecting and aggregating the data. Next step: taking action based on that data. #buildinpublic
November 22, 2025 at 5:39 PM
Hey 🏗️, I’m learning so much this morning now that my lead, intent survey, and interactions dashboards are up. I found a prospect who started a trial with their personal email and then emailed me today from their church email—I would have missed that it was the same person. #buildinpublic
November 22, 2025 at 5:34 PM
I’m so excited, my internal CRM is coming together. I now have a central place for my emails, calendar, texts, demo recordings, so I can ensure I’m following up with potential trial teams. My daily dashboard now guides me on who to call, who to send a follow-up to, and more. 🙌🏾 #buildinpublic
November 20, 2025 at 8:00 PM
Hey 🏗️,

Up early handling sales emails before work and building out my internal CRM to help me close more teams. I need to shift from building to sales to convert more of my funnel. Next up is connecting my email to my CRM to track interactions and flag those awaiting a response.

Hey 🏗️,

I figured out how to handle my trialing users. I have a flow now: a 14-day trial, a 21-day reactivation nudge, at 45 days the account is deleted if they haven’t subscribed. I just built the dashboards to help me manage all of this. Today, three teams reactivated their trials. #buildinpublic
November 20, 2025 at 12:43 AM
Hey 🏗️,

I just manually sent 175 individual emails to customers who started a trial but didn’t convert and didn’t delete their trial account, even after linking their church management systems.

If all of them subscribed, I’d meet my financial goals with CareNote. #buildinpublic

Hey 🏗️, I have to remember that when Git operations on GitHub don’t work, it’s usually an outage, not that someone has hacked into my account and deleted my repository. I must remember this. 😂 #buildinpublic
