#buildinpublic Day 74 - It's time to be bolder with our positioning.

#buildinpiblic Day 73 - no vid today. We're not hitting the conversion rates we want. It's time to reposition again into something people are actually interested in.

#buildinpublic Day 72 - It was too spooky to do a real build in public so I talked about fog.

It's that time again #buildinpublic Link me your project. I'll try it out and give you feedback.

#buildinpublic Day 72 - LinkedIn will be our main source of leads going forward...but lawdy do I hate the algorithm. #marketing

Chasing that wagon lifestyle

Why there are so many men indie hackers and very few women out there? Is it just because we tend to be more stupid brave? I have studied mechanical engineering then worked in aerospace jet engine manufacturing. My entire life was around men dominated groups. Maybe it's me. #buildinpublic

#buildinpublic Day 71 - Within a year PMs went from retracting at the mention of AI, to basically requesting it replace them. What changed? #product

#buildinpublic Day 70 - Dont listen to wannabe influencers. You're allowed to raise capital.

#buildinpublic Day 69 - It took a year, but people aren't comparing us to notion as much now. #product

#buildinpublic Day 68 - In most small tech companies, product decisions are made by the CTO. They often don't have product people. #product

Has anyone gone through any sort of AI transformation at their work (30+ staff)? I'd be keen to chat. #ai

#buildinpublic Day 63 - PMs seem quite interested in AI features, but we're not really sure on our end how to add real value with them. Magic RICE scoring? #product

#buildinpublic Day 62 - PMs don't love Gantt charts, they're just expected to use them for everything. #product

What have you got for me this week #buildinpublic? Link me your startup. I'll try it out and give you feedback.

#buildinpublic Day 61 - "this will make you look good to your boss". Is that the only selling point that really matters?

#buildinpublic Day 60 - Is there any data on whether data-driven decisions beat emotion driven ones? #productsky

#buildinpublic Day 59 - I don't have a #grindset mindset. Today's focus is on not working.

#buildinpublic Day 58 - My initial response rate of 30% has dropped to 5. Is outbound worth it?

#buildinpublic Day 57 - A few months ago I explored the idea of selling to gamedevs. It wasn't a success...

#buildinpublic Day 56 - Lots of people out there will never admit they have any problems. It's true for life, and it's true for discovery interviews. #product

#buildinpublic Day 55 - Looking for a good problem to solve? It exists, but you won't find it doomscrolling.

This week's #buildinpublic is up on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/posts/jladuv...

#buildinpublic Day 52 - The number one complaint I hear about product teams is that they are a black box. #product

#buildinpublic Day 51 - good positioning makes everything else a little easier. #product

Anyone on #buildinpublic making a crossposter to X? Id love to put my daily vlogs on it to compare engagement, but I can't be bothered doing the upload twice.

#buildinpublic Day 50 - Cold outreach over DMs sucks. I'm trying to find a way to get more value from it. #sales

This weeks #buildinpublic summary is on linkedin www.linkedin.com/posts/jladuv...

I finally figured out that the cause of my intense gut pains was coffee - my favourite drink. I'm desperate for alternatives now.

I'm testing out brandcraft

It's that time again #buldinpublic! Link me your product. I'll try it out and give you feedback.

#buildinpublic Day 49 - Shit happens. You shouldn't feel guilty for changing your roadmap. #product

Velocity is a vector measurement, which means it consists of a magnitude and a direction. Velocity without a direction is just speed. Think about that next time you use this word in the context of productivity. #productsky

#buildinpublic Day 48 - "Plan like a founder" was a little too aggressive, so I changed it. Also, much love to the sdrs out there. ♥️

#buildinpublic Day 47 - Turns out doing a heap of discovery calls is an extremely transferable sales skill.

Post a link to your product #buildinpublic. I'll try it out and give you feedback.

#buildinpublic Day 46 - I've moved from Apollo to Sales navigator but I feel like I'm moving at a snails pace. Any tips #sales?

#buildinpublic Day 45 - linear is successful because of their positioning, not their features. #product

#buildinpublic Day 44 - Does anyone remember a product called Threads? It's gone now, and it looks like Campsite is too. #product

What's your experience with sales navigator? I'm thinking of switching from apollo since most of my outreach is done over Linkedin. I don't really care about emails and phone numbers. #sales

#buildinpublic Day 43 - Is UX really that important? I used to think so but now I'm not so sure. #product
