Just a big thanks to this community

Hey IH, yesterday has been a big milestone for me (Squadlytics is generally available) and I wanted to say a formal thank you to the community. I only joined IndieHackers a month ago but it's been an amazing trove of knowledge in that short timeframe - I'm really impressed by how people are genuinely willing to help each other here.

Building a business is a marathon and I'm probably only at the 3rd or 4th km but it's great to take time to appreciate how I got there. Thanks @csallen and @channingallen for building such a great place to find advice and support!

    probably only at the 3rd or 4th km

    We can only wish we are that far in the marathon 😃 (as makers collectively). Indeed it's a long road, but good job on making it to those 3/4 and good luck with going forward!

    What's the plan for the next 6 months? 👍

      Thanks Julian! With regards to the plan, I like to use the AARRR funnel model to decide where to focus. From a product perspective the next quarter will be focused on Acquisition, Activation and Retention (50%, 25%, 25%).

      If I manage to hit my goals at the of this quarter I'll start looking for someone to join me on the journey. I really miss having someone that I can bounce ideas off, and that can also be critical of the strategy, vision and execution. It's really easy to create an echo chamber otherwise.

        I can relate to this. Having a SOLID co-founder you can trust is a huge benefit, especially considering how long it takes and how hard it is to build a successful business.

      I just added the link :) Didn't want to look too opportunistic as I really wanted to thank the people here. I work remotely far from the tech community that I'm familiar with, so finding some support online is amazing.
