Very cool. Just installed it.
I noticed that unfortunately there still seems to be a bug with listing the projects. For me it shows "No projects found".
@mentions are unique across WIP. There can be only one @marc. This makes them useful to mention users.
#hashtags are not unique. This allows both you and I to use #life.
So they serve quite different purposes and I don’t think it makes sense to merge them.
X is a very different platform that uses #hashtags for a different purpose. They initially were introduced to make it easier to find tweets around a shared interest. Which now is being abused and no longer serves that purpose well. For WIP #hashtags are a way to link them to your project using text-only input. (Most services would use a dropdown menu for this, but WIP was born on Telegram where we can’t add UI elements like that)
Cool! I was jealous because I thought @levelsio had #life haha
Then It all makes sense, you really thought well about this!
I personally don't think EITHER hyphen or .net are worth the trouble. Better to go back to the drawing board and come up with an available .com
Add a prefix or suffix if necessary.
My initial reaction was that it's the wrong question to ask and that I already have other ways to make calculations.
But after checking the website roamcalc.com I realize it's like a web-based version of Soulver/Numi, two apps I really like. The fact you can offer this as a webpage is really cool.
Now, personally I'd still use Numi since I already have it anyway and I prefer native apps over web-based apps. But I think that you have an advantage in that web-based is more easily shareable.
So I'd focus on that advantage. Try to make it like GitHub Gists, for calculations. Promote to accountants, procurement departments, real estate agents, etc. Basically anyone working with calculations and needing to share them with others.
Also promote it in sub-Reddits like FIRE, etc. Create templates for them (retirement calculators, etc) that they can customize. Also do SEO keyword research for "calculator" and make templates for all of them. Try to get them ranking in Google.
Search for "how to calculate X" posts, turn those into templates, and share them with the author. They might be willing to link to them. Credit them on the template as well.
I think if you're able to find a specific demographic that gets (business) value from it, then you'll automatically start receiving feature requests. Some which you could charge for.
Some guesses would be team support, privacy controls, SSO, etc. But those are just GUESSES and you shouldn't build anything until people actually ask for it and seem willing to pay for it.
That's a huge milestone. Congrats!
Are you doing anything to help people build a habit of using it? Would be great if you can get a percentage of those 54 users (and growing) to return daily.
So cute!
