something I learned building OpenQR:
users don't care about your tech stack
they care about:
→ does it work?
→ is it fast?
→ does it solve my problem?
I spent months perfecting the code
users just wanted it to work reliably
stop optimizing for developers
start optimizing for users

unpopular opinion:
you don't need more hours.
you need better focus.
I have 2-3 hours per evening or night.
that's it.
but in those hours:
→ zero distractions
→ clear goals
→ one task at a time
it's not about time.
it's about what you do with it.
focus > hours.

most don't know there are 2 types of QR codes:
static:
→link is encoded in the QR
→can't change it after printing
→can't track
→basically useless for business
dynamic:
→QR points to redirect link
→change destination
→track scan
→reuse forever
if you're printing QR codes make sure they're dynamic

Question for builders:
what's your MRR goal?
I'm at $60 right now
my goal: $4,000
why $4k?
→covers my current expenses
→gives me safety to take risks
→buys time to build more
not chasing $10k or $100k (for now 🤣)
just chasing freedom
what's your number?
why that specific amount?

New week.
New focus.
Last week: traveled to Belgium, OpenQR ran itself
This week: back to building
Goals:
→ finish QR landing page features
→ be visible on the Bsky :)
→ write a blog post
→ 9-5 job
Not chasing viral.
Just consistent progress.
What are you plans for this week?

I scanned maybe 20 QR codes while I traveled in Belgium:
→restaurant menus
→museum info
→tour bookings
you know what worked?
the ones that:
→loaded fast
→mobile-optimized
→had clear steps
what failed?
→desktop websites on mobile
→links that went nowhere

One more day of working on OpenQR. This Sunday I worked because next week I am traveling.
✅ Worked on critical bugs
✅ Getting closer to launch with a QR code pages
Ended the day with a indoor cycling session

Been juggling a 9-to-5, family time, and building OpenQRCode for months now.
The secret? Stop treating it like a sprint.
Build slow, share everything, let opportunities find you.
Your timeline becomes your resume.

Monday started with a 51 Eur payout.
not much on paper.
but it hits different when it comes from something you build at night while everyone sleeps
OpenQR isn’t blowing up
1–2 hours a day
after the 9–5
after kids sleep
slow money > fake momentum.
51 today.
more later.

Almost 2 years of building OpenQR.
things worked:
→ building in public
→ listening to every piece of user feedback
→ being honest about the slow progress
things didn't work:
→ overthinking features
→ staying quiet
lesson learned:
progress isn't always visible.
but consistency always compounds.
