We have something like this already: wip.chat/@emerson/stats

I'm actually in the process of improving it as the current implementation is a bit rough around the edges.

Which version are you using? The one downloaded from GitHub or the Mac App Store version?

I haven't noticed that. I guess you're using Chrome? I'll need to test it a bit more.

Sometimes the motivation and flow only comes after you start. I find this the case for shipping as well.

If I don’t feel like working or notice myself procrastinating, then just shipping something small usually gets the ball rolling. The key is to keep it small. Something you can ship before your self discipline is depleted.

As you ship more and more you build more motivation and start to get into the flow.

Side note: if you’re not able to get into a good flow, maybe it’s just not a good time. It’s important to take care of ourselves mentally and physically. So try not to be too hard on yourself if you’re not feeling productive. Take a walk. Prepare some food. Blow off some steam. Of course keep it within reason (for me watching TV during work time is a no-no, but a walk or reading is fine).

I gave you a few more 😁

Thanks for spreading the word 🙌

Yeah I agree it should be faster. Not sure why it's this slow but will have a look.

I really enjoyed SideProject Book when it came out 8 years ago. There's a few dozen interviews with indie solo founders.

That said, I wouldn't recommend it buying it now. You can get the same type of content for free on Indie Hackers these days.

Getting Real by Basecamp was very insightful when it came out as well. It's even older (14 years!) but it's a free download and I think it aged well. So worth a look.

You might like Basecamp's other books as well.

Whoops! We fixed some of the z-index issues but apparently messed up this in the process. Will fix.

I wonder if a personal streak makes much sense though?

I think at that point product-specific streaks are more useful. So you can earn a streak for going to the gym regularly. But of course, having to do so daily would probably be too much for most people.

We could make those product-specific streaks customisable as they are more personal by definition anyway. You could just set your own goal (e.g. every other day). But then it's starting to sound quite convoluted.

Anyway. Adding a way to mark products as personal and not have them count towards the streak might get us most of the way there.

I just left a reply above. Not sure you got notified about it, so writing you this reply 😁
