What are you working on this month? (September 2019)
With every new month comes a new chance to talk about what you're working on and meet other founders. Here's how you can join the discussion:
- First, respond to someone else who's commented, just to say hello or leave them some feedback!
- Next, leave your own comment describing what you're working on (or aspiring to work on), and your biggest goal for September.
That's it!
Excited to hear from everyone and see what you're working on!
Hi,
Plans for this month
What a good idea @volkandkaya. There's many people looking for this. This is going to rock. I feel it.
Thanks!
you welcome mate !
interesting premise - as someone getting started building product, would definitely be great if I could get a head start on the product web page / subscriptions once going to market.
2 immediate questions:
100% agree with having a headset, I see a lot of IHs with terrible sites that drive the initial visitors away.
Do you mean an integration where their customer can pay on a Versoly site? If so not at the moment. Normally SaaS apps take payment inside of the app. If there was a use case that fitted our roadmap we would add it quickly.
Versoly was built with it and https://brandlistening.net/. Currently have sites being built in it and waiting for them to launch :), then we can have a showcase page with them all on it.
yeah - In-App purchases are typical - but generally as a product owner you would want to offer subs via the web as well to bypass the 30% fee from stores, so any sales generated there would save some $$$.
Interesting, I wonder if there is any company trying to solve that problem.
Sounds like a nice JS widget to add to your site.
Would be a great integration for Versoly.
Hi,
This month I should finally get a first private beta version out for the MVP of Remotime - an app for contractors to manage their time, tasks and invoicing.
If you're a (remote) contractor invoicing clients for your time / tasks, drop me an email (find it on my profile) with your preferred OS (Android / iOS), and I'd be happy to include you in the private beta program.

What's the difference between your timer and others?
That depends on what timers you're referring to, as there are many out there.
The main premise of remotime is that it marries time tracking and tasks with invoice generation, and it doesn't do the intrusive time tracking that a lot of other time tracking apps do (screen captures etc.)
As a contractor myself - I was having to maintain my tasks in trello, my time in excel, and my invoicing in ZipBooks. Now it's all in one app (or soon will be)
The features haven't been added yet, but looking to be a little more niche to developers and designers by supporting github / dribbble links on tasks etc.
If there are any existing tools out there that you think do a great job of the above, then please send them on.
Have you checked out https://www.getharvest.com/features
I haven't used it, I use to do project based payments.
Found it here https://www.shopify.com/partners/blog/best-time-tracking-apps
Thanks. Harvest is definitely right up there ito feature set - I am aware of them, but honestly haven't been keeping close tabs on competition as I perhaps should - although not to the point of being distracted by them ;)
Hi all!
This month, I'm working on my SalesForFounders.com course. It's going to be a lot of work.
After a really successful prelaunch, earlybird enrollment closes on Monday the 9th and the course begins!
I'm really looking forward to producing more content and helping participants learn how to do sales, find their first customers, and grow profitable businesses.
Looks great! I'm going to start doing cold emailing so might need this.
Why isn't there any pricing on your page?
What is this course price by the way?
Thanks Kevin!
Anything you're struggling with right now?
Because I'm prelaunch and hadn't decided the pricing until recently. Will update soon.
The pricing is $99 for the self-serve course and $970 for the coaching track.
There's a generous earlybird discount if you sign up before next Monday (the 9th).
Happy to answer any questions (and feel free to shoot me an email if you're stuck with cold outreach).
This is cool! I've been needing to learn how to sell better, thanks!
Going to bookmark this for later. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks!
Not sure about signups, but in terms of traffic it's roughly 1/3rd from IH, 1/3rd from Twitter/HN/Social, and 1/3rd from everything else (podcast appearances, newsletter, guest posts, organic).
Not yet.
Did it myself with a Bootstrap template to work off. Just a static site for now.
I'm working on https://twitter.com/chooseyourplant which is a webapp to find your next houseplant via super user-friendly tags. The idea is to allow people buy those with affiliate websites.
I will ask people for the images of the plants and then create a community
I'm collecting all the data manually so, it takes time.
If anyone has cool ideas for features, hit me up!
This is a great thread!
Here are my plans this month for https://pigeonsms.com
We will be working on refining the landing page for SmartWasher , a service to connect any washer with the internet to see in real time whether it is running or not. Our target audience are people living in apartments with shared washers that have to go outside their homes to wash clothes. It happened to us a lot that no washer is free and the trip to the laundry room was a waste of time .
Besides improving the landing page, we will advertise with flyers in laundry rooms in the bay area and see whether people might be willing to pay for such a service.
Check it out and if you thoughts how to improve or what you would change, please let us know :

Hi everyone! Love this thread.
This month I'm focusing on:
Trying to validate a product (https://www.peempoint.com). It will either go well or bad. Any feedback is welcome.
I don't understand the aim of the site. When I launched it it showed me a lot of PS4 videogames, so I thought I was on a videogames webstore!
Basically, it shows products on sale from stores you have subscribed to. If you're not subscribed (or sign in), it will show random products on sale. I think I might change the landing page and then people are required to log in. Would that be better?
Yes, I think that showing up more of a landing page that requires you to put your email info will make it easier to understand
Hi!
I'm working on "Grapph - Every GraphQL endpoint is an app waiting to happen". Grapph allows you to utilize the worlds APIs to build your app in minutes.
Plans for this month
For September, there are lots of things going on.
I'm adding working on making Group Leads (https://groupleads.net) better while also adding more features based on the suggestions of our paying customers.
I'm making improvements to Chatsilo (https://chatsilo.com) based on suggestions of current paying customers. I also plan to add some automation to the extension before the end of this month.
I'm starting a new software. I have bought the domain name (http://shotmockr.com) and also started working today. The first version should be out before the end of this month hopefully.
That's all for now.
Plans for September:
Hi,
Got a lot of product work to do on plausible.io
Hopefully this is not too optimistic :) I'm really struggling with focus. I often jump between product and growth during the day without being able to properly focus on either one. Need to work on that.
Awesome, looks like a great project. I feel overlwhelmed with Analytics sometimes as a non-marketing guy. Will follow!
Having finally launched Kick, I'm figuring out my next project to keep on shipping. Have a really exciting idea that I'll be fleshing out over the next week before building an MVP.
Hi everybody!
This month I'm working on marketing for my animations and digital arts website https://www.prisimanimations.com
I started coding 2 months ago and so proud of what I made with it.
If your into animations and art check it out!
Hi I love the idea but I think the landing page could be a little cleaner. The header does not fully fit into the large on my phone using firefox and the spacing between headers and text seems inconsistent.
Especially since the product is arts and design related , I would take a landing page as reference for the quality of the service. I think your message is very clear and I cut a good idea what the product will be , which I would have a need for for SmartWasher.
I think I fixed the issue, please let me know if there's still a problem with it.
Yes It now fits but it still is non-intuitive that you have to scroll to see the full menu. But that is just an individual impression.
