Trying to decide which of my ideas is next on the list.
Not if you use Python 😁

Not everyone uses Google or GitHub, so I would say definitely still relevant. I've walked away from a few products without registering because of the lack of an email option that isn't tied to Google.

For me personally: lack of time & focus and the fact that dev is only a part of what it takes to run a business

I don't have a clear cut answer for you, I do think this is a valuable resource. I used it when I was still working in digital analytics. Hope it helps www.freshegg.co.uk/blog/analyti...

It helps to know more about your app and what your goals are. An app focused on content will benefit from a different tracking setup than an app focused on ecommerce, just to give an example.

Working on not touching my IDE and spending some time on additional idea validation instead. I'm failing at the first part 😅

I struggled with this with pip and switched to uv a few months ago. It's a way smoother experience, can highly recommend having a look

I did some minor tweaks to mailly.fly.dev Nothing AI related, just a simple link shortener meets mailto button to create prewritten email templates that you can have as a draft in your email client with one click.

Now that I tried it on /r/saas I see the difference. On /r/seo the results are nearly identical. Fyi the ideas page loads perpetually when using Firefox with enhanced tracking protection turned on.

I tried it out because it sounded interesting. The result seems to be the posts from a subreddit, minus the comments. How is this more insightful than scrolling a subreddit directly?

Sounds like you should get #failedinpublic trending to hit people with a dose of reality.

12?! What were you even building/selling?

Maybe don't focus on getting them to really care as they're in it for reasons that don't align with you and focus more on finding the subset of people who do care about community?
January 16, 2025 at 7:43 PM
Sounds like you have your answer 🙂 With regard to being part of a community, that's a tricky one. I think - non-validated opinion incoming - that a lot of people start building in public because they've read the success stories, so they start from a self-centred place.

Do you still believe it has potential? And more importantly, are you still excited about continuing with it?
January 16, 2025 at 6:28 PM
It would be great if you could demo your product on your own site. Maybe that's already on your roadmap though

Make a plan before you start coding. With a close second piece of advice: read the docs.

Love the red panda! Did you make it yourself?
