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!

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)

Interesting. Did they just clone my posts?

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 👌

And at Stagetimer the usage pattern is either yearly (using it over and over) or just one month for a single event, so we made it a 30-day one-off payment. Saves us a ton of headache from reimbursements of people who forgot to cancel.

Here's two successful examples (Leave me alone & Rundown Studio). The 10-day event price for $25 has been rather popular. I think anchoring it against the $600/y makes it look affordable.

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

Rundown Studio is used by the showcaller to keep everyone in sync. You can hear them calling in the video. Everyone on set can see a live timetable of the event.

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...

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.

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?

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!

Interesting stats from our Paddle dashboard, customers who pay more are more active!

Goof-Around-December update:

In this project I'm building a Telegram Bot to help me loose weight.

Everything going splendid! I'm down to 3 bugs/hour and the over-engineered onboarding process is done!

Next week: Calorie counting!

Goof-Around-December update:

It took a whole Hans-Zimmer-powered gym session to wrap my mind around Claude's tool use today. But I finally figured it out.

My goal is an onboarding flow w/o pre-typed questions, but letting Claude look at the database and ask questions itself.

And it works! 💪
