Thanks for kind words! I hope this year will be dazzlin’ 😅

Can you please explain what do you mean by “some pics are not visible” — like they didn’t load for you because I see them just fine in the post?

A bit shy that the post is so long — not sure if it’s fine to make such intro posts on WIP. Let me know if I need to change it! 🫠

I just created an account today, and I hope I’ll be a productive monster like all of you because of the hardcore streak system, lol.

However, as many others like @nilsw and @shashank pointed out — there might be days/situations when we cannot add a to-do due to legit circumstances: no internet while travelling or living in a developing country, sickness that impacts one’s health and mental state (no time to worry about streaks), and so on.

Personally, I want to be way more productive than I am right now, but at the same time, I want to live a life and enjoy it — keeping the hardcore streak is a tough one since it means that I need to check in every day. Literally every day. Or like @ragingfart said: “‘Sick on day 7 #life’ to-do does not feel genuine”.

So my two cents suggestion-wise:

1. Keep the current system, but add a way to “live a life”, e.g., skip/rest days — not sure what’s the “way” can be, though.

2. Add another streak system, maybe call it “Lifetime Streaks” (and the existing one will be “Hardcore Streaks”, dunno). This new streak system will account all streaks since an account was created. People will be less annoyed when their streak was broken like @nilsw (can relate) since their streaks were added to the overall counter. Doesn’t solve an issue, though.

Sounds dope, but what do you think about opening a company in the US via, maybe, Firstbase or Stripe Atlas?

I would suggest you to half-compete with agencies and make a turnover into a platform.

Since you are using a lot of the codebase that you’ve made before, I think the best solution is to present your service as a seemingly automated platform where clients can request an app/features/etc, and you’ll build it for a certain fee — even on a subscription basis.

I agree with @alvivanco on this — eventually this can become a “no-code” platform, but right now (kinda) it’ll be a service only. A similar approach can be found in Bravo Studio — no-code mobile app design-first development platform (basically, build an app in Figma). However, the owners also sell their own development services.

Also, as I’ve mentioned above, subscription model can become quite viable in this regard. Personally, I build an unlimited design/development subscription — clients can add their request via a simple form and see the progress in their dashboard. Unlimited requests per month — average request turnaround is about 3–5 days.

Hope my experience can be somehow helpful to you!
