3 years building Zencal. Spoiler: no magic wand, just our team's relentless consistency. Tired of the corporate script? Build your own. It's a marathon, not a fairy tale. What's your non-negotiable daily action? #SaaS #FounderJourney #Zencal

✅ 3 years spent on customer success. 🚀 Now it's time to focus on processes and scaling.

Building a SaaS isn't just shiny features. It's the daily grind: debugging, docs, support, process fixes with the team. This "unsexy" work is where real products (like Zencal) get built. It's about owning your time by mastering the essentials. What's your daily "unsexy" win? #SaaS #BuildingInPublic

Idea → 1st Zencal user in 3 months? Was terrified. The team shipped imperfectly. Fear kills dreams; action builds products. Stop thinking, start doing. Small steps daily win. What's ONE step you can take TODAY despite fear? #BuildInPublic #SaaS #Startup

From coding syntax to user problems. Building #Zencal taught me: Code is *how*, Product is *why*. Owner thinks value, not just tech perfection. What was your biggest mindset shift? #buildinpublic #saas

Dev. Sales. Support. That's the founder hat-trick. Running Zencal with the team means building OUR way. 1000+ users didn't come from just code. It's the full hustle towards "Your time, your rules." Ready to wear all the hats? #SaaS #Founder #BuildInPublic

10 years coding, built Zencal (with an amazing team). The best investment wasn't a course, but shipping a product. Doing beats learning on paper. What are you *actually* building right now? #Tech #Entrepreneurship #SaaS #BuildInPublic

Building Zencal taught us: Simplicity wins in SaaS. It's not laziness, it's strategic. It saves*our dev time & unlocks value for users. A big win for the team. Where could YOU simplify your product development? #SaaS #BuildInPublic

Forget the unicorn chase. Zencal started by building a solution to a real problem. No magic, just focused work behind the scenes. What problem are you building a solution for today? #buildinpublic #saas #startup #problemsolving

Builder.ai is dead. 💸 $445M funding 📉 $1B+ valuation 👥 1500+ jobs Gone.

From Corp to SaaS: Early mistake? Coded for months w/o showing anyone. Built what I thought was needed. Big fail. Fix: Talk to potential users first. Validate. Quickly. Saves pain & time. What was YOUR biggest early builder mistake? #SaaS #BuildingInPublic #Founder #LessonLearned

Chaos? Not here. Our systems & automation at Zencal are the shield. They streamline everything, giving our team space to innovate & grow. Forget corporate mess – build on *your* terms. What's your #1 chaos killer? #saas #automation #buildinpublic #developer

Instead of building new Zencal features, my team and I focus on: talking to users, optimizing existing flows, strategic planning. Building right > building more. It's about leverage & impact. My time, our rules. What high-leverage tasks are on your plate today? #SaaS #BuildingInPublic #Productivity

That "perfect moment" to build your product? Doesn't exist. Waiting costs you time, learning, and building the life *you* want. Stop waiting. Start building, even small, maybe with others. What's your first step? #buildinpublic #saas #maker

Earn from day 1 w/ SaaS? Skip 'build & pray'. Validate *fast*. Pre-sell, offer related services. Our Zencal team learned this firsthand. Your time, your rules start now. How do you plan for early revenue? #SaaS #Startup #BuildInPublic

33yo dev. 10 yrs corporate vs 3 yrs building my #SaaS (Zencal). Time & money comparison? Corp: Steady $$$, but time wasn't mine. SaaS: Volatile $$$, but time is fully under MY control. $$$ potential is uncapped. Which path feels right for YOU? #buildinpublic #entrepreneurship

Building a SaaS isn't always sexy. It's daily fixes, docs, tiny steps. That 'unimpressive' consistency (with the team!) builds Zencal & Your Time, Your Rules freedom. What small step today? #buildinpublic #saas #startup #developer #Zencal

Work-Life Balance? Bullshit. It's Work-Life Integration. Building Zencal w/ the team isn't 9-5, it's a life I chose. Your time, your rules. Building = living. Stop chasing balance, build. Do you integrate or try to balance? #buildinpublic #saas #entrepreneurship

New in Zencal: Events 🚀 Sell access to your online or offline event with automatic: ✅ registration page ✅ reminders (email & SMS) ✅ calendar sync ✅ invoices Simple. Fast. Profitable.

Started Zencal when many didn't get it. My biggest lesson: Doubt fuels building. Don't wait for external validation. Build for yourself first. You'll learn more than anyone else. What's your "against all odds" project? #buildinpublic #saas #founder #maker #startup

Generating code is awesome – I love it, as long as I have internet access 😅 #buildinpublic #ai

While the competition copies features from Calendly 😅 We at zencal.io are looking to the future. On Monday, the first AI-supported feature will arrive in our app. There will be a lot happening this year - stay tuned!

Kaizen is the most influential philosophy in the World.

This is the solution for spacing in your app #buildinpublic designforducks.com/ui-spacing-c...

Is there a new trend? Build X "startups" in Y days? 😅 #buildinpublic
