  • ๐ŸŒ Learnt new things like GoLang, VueJS, NodeJS, Swift and SEO
  • ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ Travelled to 8 countries ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ผ

    Hey you should put covid updates on visalist. I want to know where I can fly(read: escape) to other countries.

    Congrats! How is visalist.io doing?

    1. 2

      Same as the travel industry! Not so good.

    Do you still have the same wild enthusiasm or do you follow a more pragmatic approach now? :)

    1. 1

      I would say its between these two!

      1. 2

        A perfect mix ๐Ÿ‘

    Awesome, what an inspiration!

    The is a typo on visalist modal popup for your new product - "Never loose" should be "Never lose".

    1. 1

      Thanks, will fix it

  8. 2

    what did you learn about SEO? curious to hear!

    1. 3

      I was able to grow SEO from 0 to 400K users per month

      1. 2

        This is awesome. Do you have any posts or articles on how you did this? If not, you should write about it!

        1. 1

          I usually tweet these and other tips on twitter from time to time

    Congratulations on your milestone.

    I notice both Acrypto & Visalist have ads. With adblockers getting more popular, have you noticed any of its effects on your revenue?

    1. 2

      Actually not a lot. Most of the user's are not tech savvy.

  10. 2

    Congrats ๐Ÿš€
    Impressive skill list! Which of them have you found most useful?

    1. 2

      I think the skills were just a means to the end. I try to learn the tech required to build a product and not the other way around.

  11. 2

    Have you traveled because of Indiehacking? Or it was in your leisure time?

    1. 1

      I actually love traveling, I would have still travelled even if I was not a indie hacker.
