I did it for 5 years (had been together 7 years when we started). Overall it was good but once we started losing momentum and failing, it was a big challenge to our relationship. She lost trust in me leading the biz and it impacted our personal lives as well. Eventually we divorced.

I just think once you replace basic dev and marketing with a.i, the only differentiator remaining will be personal brand and that’s a marketing skill

it's only for indie makers by the way that's why i want to keep it affordable, no vc backed startups for now. I might feature vc-startups in dedicated launchdays

thanks Matt 🔥
I'm still figuring it out but so far I sold 50 spots at $29 during an early sale. Once i re-open submission it will be $50 + affiliate rev. but will need to experiment with this

I feel there’s a big push from vc backed business to make everyone believe a.i is gonna change everything, but it seems to me that it’s plateauing and still not solved the problem of reliability. It will mess up a lot of industries, but not necessarily make it better

Yes exactly

You’re building the ultimate growth tool 🔥

Well just go with gumroad. They are really bad at communicating announcements, but very reliable as a product in my experience ($100k+ rev)

“you could do this with a.i” -> but It’s important to do things we love and that take us to a happy / calm place, even if it’s not the most absolutely productive, just to keep our mental health in check

I wish there was one platform to rule them all but sadly it’s still quite split

I’m afraid of:
- annoying people
- getting marked as spam
- killing my reputation
- being ignored

Yes. Also when the system becomes more complex and something goes wrong, you might not have the knowledge to fix it 🫨

You also have a disadvantage: you over engineer everything instead of keeping it simple and ship fast 🥲
