I've been developing online products for a few years, but I've done it wrong (as a solopreneur):
- markets too crowded
- too difficult to make people pay
- too many features to build to be competitive
- market too vast
I want to try something new to fix this.

I don't know what's going on
I've built a tool to automate i18n files translation
People (~15) create accounts, some create a project but don't use the tool, most just quit without even creating one
Asked them, nobody answered
Sth must be wrong, don't know what

People on LinkedIn: how do you DM? You have to be connected to the person or to have a Primium account, right?
I'm a LinkedIn noob, i'd like to do some cold outreach

Haven't posted a lot lately
I've been busy implementing features for my product before a demo with a prospect happening in a few hours!
It's very exciting and stressful in the mean time, I hope everything goes well 😊

Made some huge improvements to Polygot (i18n automation solution) lately:
- create multiple workspaces
- invite members to join a workspace
- view changes on a given date (history)
- compare changes between a date and now
- search for text content
Now let's focus on marketing 💪

Just did a phone call with a former colleague to talk about my new app Polygot
Asked him if he had any problems with his translation process: turned out he has, and he's interested in such a solution (need to make some tweaks though)
Hopefully that's the beginning of something great!

Do you guys translate your app into multiple languages? 🌍
If so, why? If not, why? 🤔
I need to understand what's stopping people from doing it, vs what makes others doing it, in order to better target my marketing strategy for my new product.
Please share your experience! 🤗

I just added the glossaries feature to Polygot ✨
It took me longer than expected, but I'm very happy to have added this much-needed feature, allowing users to use terms specific to their application and market, in order to generate high-quality, consistent translations 🌍🚀

I took a 2 week break for the end of 2024, and I needed it.
I had a lot of fun in 2024, but without any real results my motivation was decreasing. I also know my motivation works in cycles, and I'm OK with that now.
Now let's get those results for 2025! 🚀 #buildinpublic

I've started writing guides on the @PolygotHQ blog.
The goal: to attract users by integrating Polygot as a necessary element for effective internationalization.
Next steps:
- write other integration guides
- make YT tutorial videos from the blog posts

Day by day I haven't felt like I've been moving fast enough, but looking back I realise just how much work I've put in.
