Depends on which definitions you're using, but I suppose both.
What are your thoughts on the matter?

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll give them a try. I was hoping to use Sentry but their Nuxt integration is on beta and not really working yet.

Running a fairly complex Nuxt app, even with NuxtHub, gave a lot of headaches. From libs with native implementations that wouldn't work, to hard to debug random errors, and lack of compatibility with APM services, and even just pushing the logs somewhere so they can be reviewed other than realtime.

🔨 MVP is almost there but it always feels like it won't be impressive enough without adding more features 😅
I also have to update the website to reflect the customer segment pivot.

It's true so far, but I was thinking that actually in developed economies the population is aging a lot, skewing towards a lot of old people and fewer young ones.
This means most of the purchasing power will belong to the elderly so we'll have to design products for them!

All of them! Especially if all those kinds are abstracted away behind a nice API

He also said my profile pic looks cartoony 😅
I had to remind him that branding and style also change across generations.

I've been delaying the choice actually, and focused on other things in the meantime.
I'm maybe gonna go with Resend. I looked into Bento which sounded nice but I'm not very satisfied with their UX and their emails also were giving me alerts on Gmail (hiding the images and such).

Business model innovations happening here live on Bluesky. Loving it.

Sounds awesome, thanks for the details.
Btw I tried Brevo a while back and when creating my account, their own confirmation email landed in my spam folder (in Gmail). I assumed my deliverability using them would be even worse so I decided against them.
Is there something I didn't consider maybe?

Haha indeed, but I have mentored others and one by one I've learned things that work for specific types of people, situations, mental patterns, challenges, etc.
I try to extract the most reusable tools and put that into the app in some way.

I guess I could monitor their retention rate to see if they continue to use it after I stop bugging them.
Or should I continue bugging them so they give me feedback? 😂

Interesting. So what email provider are you using? Doesn't it support automated mail sequences by itself? And to trigger the transactional emails what do you do? Call some endpoint in n8n? I'm just not familiar with how it works.
Syncing newsletter subs and CRM data and such sounds great 👍

3. That translates into developing awareness and researching and figuring out what works for myself and each other person. Then putting all that into practice through an app that first helps me and then hopefully helps others.
Things build on top of each other for maximizing the impact.

2. Only if we take care of ourselves can we then have a positive impact on the world around us. Indie hacking for me is about creating value and making a positive impact in people's lives. I can only do it if I take care of my needs responsibly and strive to grow every day.

1. Living well (a good, healthy, and satisfying life) is no easy feat, but I believe we do have a moral responsibility to be well and to be the best version of ourselves, to minimize unnecessary suffering. Ours and of those around us.

Hey Guido. Nice to meet you too. I'll try to explain a bit my view here:
comment in response to
post
Mine is very similar, but I decided to build my own custom backend instead of using Supabase, with:
- tRPC from within Nuxt
- Prisma and postgres
- Lucia auth
What exactly are you using n8n for? I'm very curious about it but I haven't found exactly what it could help me with.

Super useful! I especially agree with mindset and psychology being the biggest differentiator of success.
I would love to see more discussion on those topics in #indiehackers and #buildinpublic

I'm not sure how I would run my own mastermind group before I join one. Joining one is what would teach me how to do it, no?
comment in response to
post
+1, I wanted to ask about your mastermind group in general. Is it helping? How does it work? How did you find it? Etc.
Maybe this is good material for a standalone thread @colhountech.com 🤔
If you write it I'll be sure to repost it.

Thanks @colhountech.com for the amazing rundown! I have noticed some of these points for myself as well.
I will definitely pick your brain some more about this kind of thing in the future if you're open to it 🧠

When I'm in the zone I usually finish at 6 am and sleep until 2pm. Now that it's winter I'm trying to shift it to earlier to get some sunlight 😅

Would love to be included. Building koisense.io in public and sharing the journey and lessons learned.

I envy morning people sometimes, but on the flipside, being a night owl allows me to stay in flow for hours until 6 or 7 am 🦉

That's a nice intention, but yeah this post brings back bad memories of X. I hope it won't get like that here.

They used to have a free trial and it was nice. They're very recognized now so they don't need trials to sell. It's well worth the small expense if you are generating images for other purposes as well.
comment in response to
post
The other usual tactic is asking for card details to start the trial. You get fewer users but they're real and more sold on the product, and the trial to paid conversion rate is better.
It might not be the best way to go for your product though, but worth considering.

Cool, thanks for sharing. For the Koisense logo I used Midjourney to generate ideas and then edited it myself.

What AI are you using btw?

Nice! I like the one with vector graphics style better (the cartoony one). Maybe play with the sizes of each thing to find the right balance, but it's already quite cool 😎
