Building https://stagetimer.io & https://rundownstudio.app ⋆ Bootstrapping to $1M ARR → Then $100M ARR → Then Moonshot Project ⋆ Daydreamer
(Previously @_lhermann on the old place)
What? 😲

The CEO of Huel just made a LinkedIn post about Stagetimer!

The $280M revenue/year Huel!

I can assure you we didn't pay him to do this 🤞😅

I made $29,059 in February and worked exactly 4 hours.

Not 4h/week. 4 hours during the entire month!

This is the power of a SaaS product. Once the flywheel is spinning, it just keeps going.

Developers: I use two screens for coding!
Meanwhile Rundown Studio users:

Here's a $1M B2B niche: Digital signage solution for Hospital waiting rooms.

They use this pitiful zoomed-in SAP screen, half the space is taken up by scaled up UI elements.

(Ignore the baby seal)

Just backed up all my old tweets in case Eoln messes this up even more.

They're all hosted and accessible under my own domain now.

Growth before and after solving churn.

It was very much worth it to fix churn in exchange for slower but more steady growth.

I think this is part of building a good product 👌

Do you know the password game?
I'm tempted to build "The Timezone Game" 😂

This is so cool!

A BTS of my tool Rundown Studio used in action at a wrestling event:

In my first partnership one co-founder paid themselves a higher salary and claimed more equity, left all the work to me and another guy, then when the investment failed kicked out the other guy, left the country and let the cleanup work fall on my.

So now I always sign this...

People think good product design is taking the question most people ask,
And then answering it.

But it really is taking one question and refining it so much,
just like a jeweler cuts a diamond,
until the answer is obvious!

Has anyone used Replit before? Is it an actually good experience?

This streak feature is amazing, really keeps me motivated to keep logging my meals!

Thanks to everyone who suggested it.

Anyone ever used a calorie tracker? What's one thing it did really well? I'm trying to give my lazy self the best possible chance to loose those pounds.

We're doing 3 zoom calls with customers this week to learn what they really need. This is for Rundown Studio.

And we learned that our real competitor is…
…not Shoflo (the leading rundown tool)
…not even Google
…but Excel and Paper!

So 👏 Paper 👏 we're coming for you!

Started with $0 MRR and 10x it in one month
January 9, 2025 at 4:16 PM
Thanks for the feedback everyone!

I've added some GitHub-style streak tracking now to keep me motivated 💪

I'm building a chatbot to help me loose weight. It works like a friend who knows a lot about nutrition and holds me accountable.

It's not done yet, but the daily calorie meter already works and is super helpful.

Any suggestions for good ways to form habits?

What keeps you from working like this?

Hot showers are an underrated productivity hack. It easily has the highest rate of creativity-per-liter. I've prototyped entire startups in my head during just a single shower session.

Pro tip: Apply shampoo last so you have a few more minutes after the spouse comes checking.

It took 7 engineers 3 years of bug fixing to get this right.

Trust me, I'm an expert 😭
Time zones are fun to code :)

Me and Claude after finishing a hard task 🫶
December 31, 2024 at 3:50 PM
Today I found out how to make Claude3.5 work through larger coding tasks.

It's always been a problem, with long threads the AI answers degrade.

Solution:
1. Ask it to reason through the problem first
2. Let it generate a markdown file as docs
3. Provide docs file to each new thread

You don't need to build AI tools to succeed. Even the most innovative AI people still need normal tools.

The AI Founders Demo Day just posted these pictures on LinkedIn and I spotted a familiar sight.

They are using Stagetimer, a tool i've been working on for 3 years. 🎉🎉🎉

I've been very productive with Claude using this method:

1. Create a Project
2. Describe the project + tech stack
3. Add services and type definitions (project knowledge)
4. Start a new chat for every feature

No. 4 is crucial, chats with lots of code deteriorate quickly!
