ΙΧΘΥΣ. Had a great time with sales tax, and now I have a small project in the smb bookkeeping space.

Married w/5 kids, coach of youth sports, Software product developer, MLB Cardinals, and occasional golfer
Yes. That is a fun book and movie

this is the only reason my laptop is open on my desk setup. I have the apple keyboard and mouse but not with the touch

I agree. Do you care about tracking Stripe detail or other accounts receivables? Or you just track that as a deposit into the bank account?

What’s your must have list of features?

L for Lightweight

The most lightweight is Ledger-cli

Maybe 2025 will be the year I can revive another L one you’ve probably heard of, Less Accounting

The last book I read in 2025 was Armada by Ernest Cline. Not winning any writing awards but a fun video game concept story

wild to see that this happened. I am a minority partner in a bootstrapped bookkeeping firm Less Accounting, trying to find a growth channel. Maybe this will help.

So many TODO notes. Easier to write a todo than to build the feature

There are all kinds of motivations that vary across developers. Some are driven by hard tech problems. Others revenue, others using creative patterns in code. Some like finding and fixing bugs. Spotting this in your developers allows you to put them in positions for success

Refactoring can be fun (just go in with eyes wide open)

If you need a cofounder you don’t need a full product. But it does help if you have leads and maybe proven demand for the general thing you want built to get them excited to partner on your idea.

Probably the same for a developer to attract a sales cofounder.

Have to make it their idea too

I hadn’t played it until I sat next to a guy on the plane who watched a 45 minute YouTube stream of what appeared to be a single game. Lots of mechanics to learn as a beginner

I promise you have time for family and friends. That’s what is left when the SaaS is gone. Letting too much of your self identity be in the SaaS is something I probably messed up.

Two partner companies like appsumo during the moment but the people who buy and hang around are usually low value customers. Just don’t give away lifetime deals
