I got this for my previous company but through the Apple Developer route in Dec 2022. It was an easier process since they are somehow connected. So i think we could essentially use the DUNS made through the iOS process on Google.

My friend is currently struggling with this too. So they are going through the Google Play route I'm in KE 🇰🇪.

Thanks, that's interesting to know. Unfortunately, I do not have an Apple Developper account and the fee to create an Apple Developer is much higher than what they request to get a D-U-N-S but it's good to know. Hope Google will provide a better flow in a near future.

What a racket from DUN & BRADSTREET. They assign a private number based on public government numbers, and request a fee to get this number from customer of their clients. Free money falling from the sky, continuously and encouraged by the giants.

Discovered this and its all i needed. Thanks for the suggestion Carl !

This is a good strategy. I fear however it forces me to launch in stealth. Someone could easily grab the [.com] domain at that high price before you're able to buy it :( .

Current situation - juicy [.com] domain is available at $3,495 !

I've struggled on this for a long while. If i don't get the .com and its taken by a separate owner whose doing something different and wont be confused for mine. I'll pick

  • .app
  • .so but only if i can get a direct short word for it.

Fair comment, maybe I've been worrying about it too much

My standard dock setup is Screen Studio, Raycast , TablePlus , iTerm2

Thanks! I think I will have to try TablePlus myself when I will have to dig into mysql to follow some advice to create separate tables in WordPress but for now it is too much with the code alone haha.

Haha its quite fixed. But i optimize to get into the rhythm of that sequence :)

Its also tough on my end. But found a balance.
- Wake up at 5 AM
- Day job from 6-2 PM
- Gym from 2-5 PM
- Side projects from 5-10 PM

Day job tasks get mostly done uninterrupted before 10 AM. So probably 1/2 meetings during the day. Get uninterrupted focus on side projects after heading to the gym.

Sounds like a pretty good (but hard) schedule tbh

Haha its quite fixed. But i optimize to get into the rhythm of that sequence :)

That's tough man...
My original plan was to wake up 5:30-6:00 AM and work on my side projects but it was really difficult to turn my attention to my work because I was too focused and willing to spend all day.
I'm thinking about approaching the same way you're doing, taking 1-2 hours of work every day.
