Dashboard improvements for MRRSaver after taking my first rest day in weeks
Just got back to work after taking yesterday completely off. First real break I've had in weeks and honestly, I needed it.
What I'm building today
Spent the morning improving MRRSaver's dashboard with insights that actually matter:
- New users vs churned users: Side by side comparison
- MRR and ARPU tracking: Real-time updates
- Voluntary vs involuntary churn breakdown: Most founders don't realize these need different solutions
- MRR waterfall chart: Starting MRR → new revenue → expansion → reactivation → contraction → churned → ending MRR
The waterfall is taking forever to get right, but it tells your entire revenue story in one visual.
Outreach reality check
Daily outreach: 15 DMs on X + 15 on LinkedIn
Response rate: Decent, but wrong audience
Problem: Everyone responding is pre-revenue or just starting out
It's like selling umbrellas when it's sunny. The churn problem is real, but timing matters. Need to find founders who are actually feeling the pain.
SEO struggles
Google impressions: 2,500 (1 week)
Clicks: 0
Ouch. SEO is a marathon, not a sprint, but zero clicks stings when you're used to social media feedback loops.
Physical state
Did a Hyrox race in Nice over the weekend. Can barely walk today, but mentally I'm the sharpest I've been in weeks. Sometimes you need to step away completely to see clearly.
Key learning
Rest isn't lazy. It's strategic. That day off reset my focus and gave me clarity on what actually matters for the product.
How do you handle rest days as a solo founder? Do you actually take them, or do you feel guilty like I usually do?
