Experimenting with new onboarding copy for App2Pro
Clearer messaging = less confusion = higher retention
Copywriting is product design

Some days come with more pressure than others.

When the answers aren’t clear yet, I focus on the levers I can pull.

Today that means:
• refill propane
• wait on Amazon review
• start the next coloring book (dark fantasy)

One step at a time.

The App2Pro database is slowly growing
Now tracking over 100 pro-level tools
Next step: add smarter tagging and personal recommendations
This could be powerful at scale

Sixbytes milestone
3 years in, still fully bootstrapped
Still growing, still profitable
Proof that you don’t always need VC to build something meaningful

Mini-thread: What this year taught me
• Momentum is fragile, protect it
• Small improvements compound
• Listening beats guessing
• Building is a long game
No shortcuts, just consistency

Day 489 of building in public and users are actually sticking around

✅ New signups rolling in
✅ SEO impressions rising
✅ Active users growing

What's the next hurdle to overcome?

There was a time I released an app, refreshed analytics 50 times a day, and saw… nothing
No users, no downloads
But that silence taught me more than any success
It forced me to focus on solving real problems, not chasing metrics

Every indie dev has that one feature they built just for themselves
For me, it was offline access
No one asked for it
But I needed it
Turns out thousands of users did too
Build what you need, and you’ll find others who do as well

Started the week by removing a feature
Fewer options
Clearer flow
Sometimes progress is knowing what to let go

Mini-thread: What most indie days look like
• Reading user messages
• Fixing something slightly broken
• Improving something slightly slow
Not exciting
But incredibly effective

Mini-thread: How I measure a good week
• Something shipped
• Something learned
• Something simplified
That’s enough

Mini-thread: Why I still enjoy building software
• You create something from nothing
• It improves with care
• It lives in other people’s daily routines
That feeling never gets old

Spent today reducing edge cases
Most users will never notice
But reliability builds trust quietly over time

Today’s win wasn’t technical
It was saying no to a feature request that didn’t align with the product vision
Focus is growth
Even when it feels uncomfortable

Some mornings start with coffee and code
Others start with user feedback that breaks your entire roadmap
Adaptability is the only constant when you’re building alone

One email from a happy user can fuel a whole week of work
Today someone wrote: “This app replaced 3 others for me”
That’s why I build

Product feedback that hits different
Someone said:
“This feels like an app made by someone who actually uses it”
That’s because I do
Everything I build is something I needed

Hot take: most side hustles don’t die from lack of ideas. They die from skipped Saturdays.
