Welcome. Best place to keep yourself accountable.

What made you from vc to building solo?

I had a look at the landing page and I don't get it. Who is it for?

can't tell if it is for cooks, content creators or the regular joe

Thanks for pointing this out! Totally correct, I need to hone the message a little bit better.

agreed, even though pinging jrfarr on x seems to work

i only use LS in one of my products (#ubidrop) for the license situation i mentioned.

for anything else I use stripe

Got it. Thanks Alex for sharing, appreciate it. :)

the good:
- great for setting up simple checkout pages
- great for selling digital products (courses, books, etc)
- great for apps that need licenses (u dont need backend)
- nice design w/o effort

the bad:
- api/docs is confusing
- creating discounts is too complex for some reason
- people do not see the final price when they land on the checkout; could be problematic depending on your strategy

That's good to know, Alex :) Are you still using LS these days? I heard some people had problems with their payouts, but not sure either.

Building something from scratch takes tons of time and energy. Maintainance is easy

Marc, you can even use this as an opportunity for people to share around their 'achievements' of the week.

I genuinely like this idea

What do you mean by friendly to post?

All subreddits are unless you are trying to do promotional stuff/spam.

Are you looking for founder communities or a way to promote products?

as u aware that there are other ways of submitting apps other than the bot?

there's the website, mac os app and i think some sort of raycast extension.

i havent had any issues with the bot so it might be a method issue than ux

Mac OS app? 😮

i tried it this year, it's very buggy. so i just use the website

The bot is the one who the reminder each time i forgot to log on website i click on the notif and answer.
