The trailing weeks after a traffic spike are hard to endure. Most new users don't stay on long, meaning metrics slowly decline until a new baseline. Yet another reason why analytics are pretty much useless. Just listen to users and keep going.

Growth of @yaak.app is too low to reach profitability before end of runway 👎🏼 ✅ Pageview → Download conversion is super high (27%) ✅ Feedback is extremely positive ✅ Over 100 licenses sold 🟥 Traffic has plateaued Time to focus on marketing. Any tips?

What's your tool of choice for scheduling social posts in advance?

Still a long way to go but 100 customers feels like a huge milestone

So proud to be part of this pack 😆 go.bsky.app/NVzmrv1

Performance matters 🚀

Churn messages are invaluable

Hey @sentimentbot.bsky.social

It took me two years learning Rust to be able to write generic types of this complexity 😧S

I love fixing bugs from my phone 📱

Touching on 2000 🏒

Things are happening... But really, I just added a GitHub link to the website hero.

If only it were that easy

I started using HTMX yesterday and am already in love. A little bit of AJAX goes a long way, and this makes it super easy to spice up my server rendered components.

Any founder will say "never lower your prices." But I did it anyway. I love being an indie dev 🤗

I don't understand why the Stripe dashboard charts take multiple days to update.

What's your favorite chart library for use outside a frontend framework like React? I just need to server render a nice dashboard.

I made @yaak.app open source a while back but ONLY for bug fixes. This is why. All those Linux users with old/niche setups can fix the things that are impossible for me to reproduce 🤗

To the moon! 🌙
