Inspired by @yehuda's post about building in public, I thought it would be good to start sharing your learnings every 2 weeks.
Information that you share could be extremely valuable to someone down the road.
Tell us:
- What you're working on.
- What went well.
- What didn't go well.
- What you're going to do next.
- Any questions you have.
👋 I'll go first.
Ironically, I'm building Retro - agile retrospectives made easy.
What went well
- 9 newsletter signups! 🎉
- Got a lot of marketing work done.
- Fixed the site's description
- Switched off of MailJet to Mailchimp
- Posted my first blog post on Medium & Dev
- Sent my first email newsletter
- Lots of posting on IndieHackers :)
What didn't go well
- I'm not sleeping enough, I think I need to take a day off soon.
- The post on Medium & Dev BOMBED. Barely any traffic.
- Didn't get much product work done. I'm migrating from GraphQL to Firebase which has been time consuming.
What I'm going to do next
- Take more breaks!
- Stop posting on Medium & Dev. Twitter and IndieHackers is doing well for me.
- Block off some time to finish the API migration from GraphQL to Firebase. This will allow me to get more features done.
Questions I have
- Should I host my own blog at blog.retro.app? Will this increase my acquisition numbers?
