I’ve been quiet lately… …quietly building a new product that got to 135$ MRR just in pre-orders 🤫 And what does it actually do? Simple: 1 - Agencies struggle to find new clients; 2 - So they try outbound, only to find out they have no buying signals to use; meaning they

Above 40% reply rates for LinkedIn DMs. Most are negative but still quite a decent % of positive replies! Cold email/DMs really work well for simple B2B. Good to validate audiences and initial value propositions.

I'm now building Meeting schedulers SUCK because they assume every hour of your week is worth the same. Supercal knows some hours are worth more than others. Assign rules and show people what's the best time to meet. Let's do this!

My next steps for Supercal are simple: - Focus on marketing, marketing, marketing. The more eyeballs, the more feedback I get, the more I can improve product // homepage. And this is what I need if I want to show Supercal to colder audiences who've never heard about me.

@mich_kanka I used @marc_louvion ship fast boilerplate but found it too advanced for me. Still it allowed me for some reverse engineering. Then I went to php because it felt more “readable”. And I used gpt4 to help with architecture, structure, coding, etc. it’s really amazing.

Last week I opened Supercal to the world. Yes, people are using it. Got on a call with the users already on the waiting list. They seem excited! No extra sales though, stuck at €104 in revenue. Still want a few more sales to make sure I'm heading in the right direction 🤞

@vascoabm @tonyconsults I think you're asking the wrong question. Try to bring more people to a service page and see the results. IMO it seems more like people signup because they go to a service page. If they go to signup, they haven't seen the value yet.

I started presenting Supercal to waiting list users even with bugs. My goal was to get feedback. Period. I don't want to get stuck in development forever. I think indie hackers forget the goal is to solve a problem. If the app is not solving the problem, bugs are irrelevant.
