The best career advice I ever received was: "Don't be afraid to ask for opportunities and put yourself out there. The worst that can happen is that someone says no."
I'll start... this week I'm focussed on UX improvements to Makers, particularly focussing on updates to the main feed and discovery of discussions ( watch this space)! But what about you? What do you want to get done? What's holding you back? Do you need help or advice? Looking forward to hearing all about your week ahead
Hey PH! We all know how crucial and beneficial and at the same time hard it could be to find early adopters of your product! Share how and where you found those people.
Building something, maybe also on your own sometimes makes it hard to celebrate and enjoy the things we've achieved along the way. How do you celebrate these things?
Hi Makers! I'm working on finding podcasts with a similar audience to ours to arrange promo ad swaps, and also focusing on finding great guests for online discussions in the Makers community. What are you working on this week?
Mine is Simple Habit. I keep my phone on DND and airplane mode when I sleep and then turn on wi-fi so I can meditate before anything else. What's the first app you open on your phone in the morning?
Hi Makers! If you are: (1) launching soon or recently launched (2) looking for beta users (3) asking for feedback on a landing page First, start by helping out another maker (check out their launch, give a review or share a comment on their post), then share your product link here and BE SPECIFIC about who your target audience is and how we can help.
I was pretty pumped when iOS introduced screen time limits, and immediately set myself 30 minute daily limits for apps I tend to waste time on like Instagram. Unfortunately, I now find myself ignoring the notifications when they pop up. Curious to see what your experiences are limiting screen time, makers!
I remember just a few years ago the typical answer would have been Ruby on Rails or PHP for web apps, sprinkled with some jQuery and that's about it. Today depending on the platform (web, android, ios, ) there are tons of frameworks, programming languages, no-code and SaaS platforms to mix and match. It is difficult to keep an overview. Would love to learn more about what _your_ tech stack looks like at the moment + anything you find noteworthy about it (e.g. I heard Swift UI is great for solo-devs/designers), bonus points for sharing what you've recently built with your stack.
