      That is hilarious. Thanks you!

    Congrats! Noah Kagan just reminded us on Twitter that every billion dollar company started with 1 customer. Obvious, but easy to lose in the weeds.

    Out of curiosity, what CSS template did you use and where did you get the vector graphics for you site?

    I'm looking for ideas as I will be re branding fabform.io soon.

      No css template. I am using tailwind for css and everything is designed by me.

    Congrats! It would be great to hear more about what exactly you're building, how you're going about it and how you got your first paying customer

      I am writing and journaling my build on dev.to. I probably can cross post on here. Check it out on dev.to.

      Carta is a no code platform that aims to make creating, customizing and sharing digital maps easier and more accessible.

      I haven't done any traditional marketing yet. I have been doing cold outreach on LinkedIn and trying to contact older network connections from previous jobs that I feel would be interested in Carta.

      My first customer was an old connection from my dev agency days.
