Building my next product to $1M ARR. I'm giving myself until 40 to hit this goal. which is roughly 3.25 years. I'm taking everything I learned from a moderate success with Hypertxt and going all in. First goal: $5k MRR by EOY. #buildinpublic.

I just purchased Claude Max for $200/mo and it's literally difficult to stop building now. Alas, sleep beckons.

Build in Public has been almost entirely corrupted by clickbait nonsense, oxymoronic follower-chasers and blatantly incorrect advice. But, there's still a subset of us who actually care. Not expecting much, I posted about whether adding credit cards upfront was a dead pattern.

Is credit card up-front dead?. I’ve had 10 users go through onboarding and drop at the trial activation step because it requires a CC.

At some point I want to get back to my true passion, generative art. Until then, I’m going to keeping grinding through the trough of disillusionment. But, to stay motivated, I’m going to create a new piece for each $1k MRR added.

Relaunching an overhauled version of my product tomorrow. The original product used a freemium model that converted at an abysmal 1.6%—yet it still hit $3k MRR. The new version offers a 7-day free trial but requires a credit card. I’m done messing around with casual users and.

Anyone else have this nagging anxiety that they have a few more years to secure their saas wealth before the software business model is fundamentally broken?.

I canceled auto-renewal on two domains yesterday and shuttered their emails accounts. The world feels lighter already.

I was feeling a little lost today so I decided to dabble in generative art, something I haven't done in a while. That dabbling inspired me to update my landing page. This is the result 👇
