I built 5 projects in a year. The smallest one just got me my first 3 sales.

I've been using Claude Code almost every day, and my problem was that I kept forgetting to answer my agents when they needed me. I'd be doing other work or scrolling on social media, and my sessions would just sit there waiting for input. That was wasting time and tokens, because I could have been getting way more output from them.

So I built a CrewTower app that lives in the notch area of your screen. It shows all your active agent sessions at a glance: which ones are working, which ones are waiting for your answer, and which ones are done. The moment an agent needs you, you see it right at eye level, no matter what app you're in. No more forgotten sessions, no more dead time between prompts.

It worked so well for me that I launched it publicly last week. No SEO, no ads, no marketing. I've only shared it on X and demoed it at a local tech event.

The first sale came way faster than I expected. Then two more followed within 3 days.

Here's the part that surprised me: this is by far the smallest and simplest thing I've built. Over the past year I've made much more complicated projects, full SaaS products with auth, payments, dashboards, the whole thing. None of them got a single sale.

What I'm starting to understand is that the size of the project doesn't matter. What matters is how many people have the exact problem you're solving. I built this for myself, and it turns out a lot of other people had the same annoyance.

The other thing is that none of those "failed" projects were wasted. Every one of them taught me something, and this app only took days to build because of everything I learned from the previous ones. If I had tried to build this as my first project, it probably wouldn't have worked.

More motivated than ever. Let's see where this goes.
