Just broke $20k ARR. My current goal is to 5x by the end of the year, and I can finally see a real path to self-sufficiency!

data.poach.vc is starting to get some interest!

Rough start with Mechanical Turk. 80% of responses were complete garbage.

This might be preventable with additional form validations + upping requirements on worker rejection rates, but at the end of they day it doesn't seem like a great fit for Poach compared to LLMs + data providers.

It's kind of crazy that shelved.domains has made $500 with only 50 visitors so far!

Looking forward to the Product Hunt launch tomorrow: www.producthunt.com/products/she...

Just launched www.shelved.domains

My idea is that it'd be good if there was a directory where founders/makers can list their cheap but high quality domains and find interesting domains from other founders.

Let me know if you want to list (for free)

I made a tool to generate favicons from any React Icon: favicon.to

Substack has a great component for building composite filters, so I made my own version for keywordgems.com

Here's an initial version of an AI title generator for keywordgems.com that rates the titles on various criteria and shows both SERPs and generated titles!

I'm trying out AI generated short form content for mealbymeal.com on TikTok. I'll run 5 shorts per day and report back in a week with how many total views they get, and whether it impacted signups on the site.

KeywordGems.com app page is starting to come together!

Added usage tracking for KeywordGems

It turns out sheet music for a niche instrument is very seasonal. Over December, otamatunes.com made $133.85 (versus $81.90 total since launch) from people getting an Otamatone as a gift and searching for sheet music!

Keyword brainstorming tool is coming along! You start with a root keyword before expanding via Google's related searches/questions/autocomplete, or a set of semantically related keywords. You can export your session to CSV.

Soon this'll have volume/difficulty data and filtering.

This week I'm working on a tool to do keyword generation and research. It will use LLMs to explore generating a wide range of potential keywords.

More importantly, it will interpret existing results for keywords to find keywords that have unhelpful results which could be improved.

My Bluesky followers just passed my Twitter followers in just a couple weeks thanks to starter packs!

It's kind of crazy how much Threads failed to stick the landing and keep users engaged. Hopefully Bluesky holds out.

The highest domain rating I have for any domain I own is entirely due to a dofollow link from a typo in Airtable's docs...
