Goals for August - Giving a new look to Remote Letter and working on increasing subscribers :D
Subscribed!
Thanks man. Make sure you confirm the susbcription too, sometimes email land in promotion or spam folder
Working to get my first 100 subs (currently at 55) to my free weekly Project Management newsletter The Stakeholder Report by the end of the month.
I announced yesterday on my Reddit sub that I started the newsletter, that got a few subs. Today I’m working in the newsletter content.
I got 84 paying customers for my SaaS last month, I'd like to hit 100 this month. Although so far it's not looking so good lol
84 is great!
Who are your customers? I love seeing stuff that I have no idea about!
Mostly military members
Focus on my intent. Work to clearly articulate what my content stands for. To ramble less. To be clear about my goals. To trim down. To be concise. To keep reiterating until I get it right. To keep publishing my blog posts, work on my newsletter, and record more episodes of the podcast. To impose discipline on my creativity. To express my endless gratitude to those who believe that my content is worth their time and attention. To keep building something bigger than myself, by committing myself completely.
✅ My goals for August are all focus to https://cashout.games :
👩💻 Yesterday:
I spent all day creating a marketing plan and studying new ways to create engagement and creating experimental shareable content.
🥰 Today:
Hiking with my boyfriend while talking about business.
Goals for August:
Yesterday:
Today
Yesterday I released b6 of Deck for Reddit. It improves how subs can be browsed and searched. As well as few performance optimizations.
Today I plan to improve the sidebar navigation for touch devices. And I also want to improve subs exploration and discovery.
August stetch goal - reach 500 views per day.
I spent this week building experimental versions of the analytics workers I plan to have on the platform, super glad considering it's the meat of the application.
itching to get started on building the actual app very soon as well, I spent some time making a logo and landing page and I'm really happy with how they turned out.
happy hacking everyone!

Goals for August
While a bit up in the air at the moment, there's a podcast on the horizon that could drop in for August, but I need to research more interviewees and then reach out to them.
I need to write more articles, and begin doing some guest writing stints.
Plan out a comparative analysis, build it, record it, create a video for YouTube, and then wrap the whole thing up in an article.
Yesterday…
Reading through the articles I've saved while doing research via the Under Cloud, into each candidate interviewee, and compiling questions to ask them, should they accept.
Also, I began enhancements to the linking within assets:
Today…
I've been working on the linking again since this morning, and reading more of the research.
Yesterday: finally squashed a bug that I've been trying to fix for two days. Yay! Turned out to be a bug in a library I was using that was breaking my build.
Today:
August: no specific goals. Just trying to make as much progress as I can.
I keep ignoring those dependabot messages, but at some point I've got to sort that lot out!
What made my bug tricky was two things:
Lessons for me:
Do you have a staging environment, to run production code?
I need to take time out and do an update…
I'm pre-launch but I plan to have separate dev and/or test environments. I'm using Firebase so I can just set up a separate project for this.

https://firebase.googleblog.com/2016/07/deploy-to-multiple-environments-with.html
Today I've been fixing little bugs and doing some refactoring on https://midnight.pub. I'll keep on doing so for the weekend.
My goals are launching on HN and PH.
Yesterday I started writing an article for HN.
Today I've finished and made my post. Though without much success, but I'll try on the next weekends.
But the article itself might be interesting for most solo founders!
Goal for august - Add more features to Helppie and work on SEO
August goals: Launch free version of markfolder.com this coming week, and then premium version before the end of the month.
Yesterday: Completed the terms and conditions pages, privacy pages, and signup flow.
Today: a much needed break and family time :)
Tomorrow: Add the required cookie acceptance popup, and final tweaks before going live!
📙 Today I'm playing with the formatting of my book. I've got great result I'll share in my next newsletter on Monday 🥰
I'm learning Latex at the same time, which is pretty cool.
🛤 My goal for August is to be as consistent as I am now.
📝 I wrote yesterday. I wrote the day before. I will write on Monday. Writing.
Yeah, the writing thing is big, time consuming, but essential.
My main aim is to scale the monitoring engine for Downtime Monkey - we're up to just under 3000 free monitors and 1000 pro monitors and the monitoring scripts need to complete in under 3 minutes and 1 minute respectively. They do that at the minute with some time to spare but usage is growing fast now.
It's easy to process the scripts faster but it uses more server resources which are expensive. The aim is to get the correct balance between server resources and speed to let us double capacity without extra costs.
Also I want to build a new logs section where users can view all Downtimes individually with all the details they need to help diagnose the cause. UX will be important here as well as downloadable reports.
