Am I hallucinating, or is there really no "𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲" (based on system settings) in 𝗚𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹? Are we really in 2025, or is this all just a simulation? 🤔

No hockeystick yet - our premium tier launched in September, and it’s taken us 5 months to get to 1k - but the steady, linear growth is incredibly encouraging. Every rating, review, trial, and subscription means the world to us. Thank you to everyone who’s supported us on this journey!

Superbowl 2025 summarized in 5 seconds. #NFL

Every once in a while, we receive a very thoughtful post that warms our hearts. Woke up to one of those today.

Is bootstrapping all rose and gold? What about the greys and blues? We summarize our year 2024 and share our plans for 2025:

Apple “intelligence” 😅😂 #AI

hey @justinjackson.ca - what conferences would you recommended for people working on #podcast #tech (like me and @ilya.metacast.app ) in 2025?

to recap: — Trump was *for* the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

It’s nowhere near sustainable yet, but the MRR growth has been pleasantly surprising and very encouraging! Heartfelt thanks to everyone using Metacast! ❤️ Keep those feature requests, comments (and complaints) coming! #buildinpublic

This is the funniest spam we have received at Metacast till date. It’s from #ElonMusk, starts with #Achtung 😅😂 and offers $4.1 million!

If you've been thinking about trying Shorebird but haven't had the time, this workshop is for you. Spots are limited so be sure to reserve your spot as soon as you can.

Gotta say, the view from my favorite “work place” is spectacular on this last day of 2024! That’s the Golden Ears mountains (about an hour east of Vancouver, BC). Happy new years everyone! 🎊🎉

I’m only a casual #Android user (primarily to test my app, see what other apps for Android-y UX), but isn’t this an insane screen to show a user on boot??!?!? And to the best of my knowledge, the phone was just fine. I just rebooted! I’d never expect that on #iOS.

I know I listen to a lot of podcasts, but the number surprised even me :) (And we started keeping track of numbers around Feb or so)!

Tracking a very elusive bug! 🐞 And having all the changes in data recorded in BigQuery is turning to be invaluable to trace what exactly happened (in addition to logs from backend). If you use #Firebase #Firestore, enable the #BigQuery sync: extensions.dev/extensions/f...

💯 It’s 1:23am after a crazy productive day. And planning another one tomorrow.

Mine is that they mixed podcasts and music into one app. And then my teenager started using it too. So I stopped using it.

My life right now (2 of the 3 people in our indie/startup are out this week) 😎

The thing I like about #indiehackers is how quickly they pick up something and run. The thing I don’t like is the mentality of shallow, fast copycats; in the hopes of making a quick buck. Right now, it feels like everybody & their dog is building a directory (trying to emulate ProductHunt or HN).

A short and sweet insight into why sales/discounts (like #BlackFriday, #CyberMonday) work. I already know the principles but still get into discounts 😬! You too? It’s because the discount itself is a “reward”!

... and the day ends with a gorgeous clear starry sky, with hints of the #NorthernLights #Vancouver

Telling a machine I am not one of them so that it, the machine, will permit me access to the things that are mine

Gorgeous start to a winter day, fog shrouding the valley bottom, with Mt. Baker rising tall above. #Vancouver

before I close the laptop I always leave future-me a lil' note so I immediately know what's up tomorrow morning
