It’s too much work to manually schedule posts, I just want to come up with ideas and have it just work on autopilot. Building a solution for this, nearly there for beta sign ups 👀

Sundays are my guilt free rest days, coffee, F1 and meal prepping with a sprinkle of cleaning - also building features for fun! No business value needed

Moving forward: launching as early as possible and relaunching with new sets of features to test the traction & measure the engagement with each launch 📊

With both tiny launch and product hunt I learned at how frequently people launch + relaunch. I used to think it’s a massive step with large repercussions, but honestly it’s the best way to get new users and allows you to pivot and reposition yourself to.

100%, besides the description, it’s part of the onboarding flow for new users & it’s part of the app screens. Of course, an outdated description confuses the users when comparing against the screens on the product page. Luckily the turn around here is quick 👌

George Dimitrov 🚀 @gndimitro.bsky.social · 21d

I released a customer requested feature but forgot to update the app’s description to highlight this 🤦‍♂️

Obvious but important lesson learned this week…
Time and energy are limited and it’s okay to let go of things no longer serving the mission 🙏

George Dimitrov 🚀 @gndimitro.bsky.social · 25d

Thanks! I appreciate the support 🙏

George Dimitrov 🚀 @gndimitro.bsky.social · 25d

Ah sorry - I limited the availability after I enabled IAPs. For me it was having to support and maintain different currencies which was why I limited availability. I appreciate the support though to try it out. Where are you looking to download the app from? I’m looking to expand in the future
