I mute a lot of words and sentences.

I’m interested in American politics, climate change, etc. But I read that on my own terms, so I’ve muted all related words.

I also mute sentences like “the European mind”, posts like that are just a waste of brain cycles.

My feed is fairly clean. If I want to dip my toes in today’s mayhem I look at the trending page.

🧗 I've picked up Bouldering and I love it!

I never "liked" sports, did enjoy snowboarding, ping pong, etc, but hate going to the gym or running, but Bouldering is amazing.

There's a puzzle aspect to it, to solve the route, how to climb, how to move your feet. And there's strength aspect to it. I'm just a weak programmer so there's lots of room for growth. The boulder gym renews all routes every 5 weeks so there's always new puzzles to solve and routes to explore.

So now I go to the Boulder gym on Tuesday and Friday morning and climb till my arms are empty (around 1 hour). Plan to make that Mo / We / Fr in a couple weeks when my hands get less blisters 😅

I've also noticed it's a reason to start training muscles do push-ups etc as it'll allow me to climb more difficult routes and climb longer.

About paying/free. Maybe you can look into a pay-once for lifetime access model.

It has the added advantage that it might keep members around after they "figured things out", as-in WIP for me is still a valuable community but it was a lot more valuable when I just joined and had not yet quit my fulltime job.

2 and 3 are excellent ideas. I think influx of more members is nice. I do wonder how that would work with telegram, it seems slack / discord are just more suitable for larger numbers of people but that might just be me.

Simple Analytics, just works, and no need for cookie popups 🚀

As TailwindCSS targets devs that code, why would it be relevant that TailwindCSS is used to create websites in this no code tool?

Start small. The more time till your first release the more risk you take on board. Plenty of time to build more if and when the ball starts rolling.

Use the tools you know. No need to use the latest popular framework. Anything goes. Use what works for you.

Thanks Klim! I'm currently working on a new product page, I'll send over a screenshot next week!

Thanks Marc, good idea to say it out loud, that's often a very good way to find out if a presentation flows so will probably also work for marketing text.
Going to give it a try!

As a EU resident, I investigated this and eventually decided to go with Gumroad (also looked at Paddle and similar services).

Building my own tax system and keeping an eye on tax rates and rules across the globe would cost way too much time and draw my focus away from building an awesome product.

You could also look at an in-between solution like Quaderno they integrate with popular payment services and add tax to your invoice and give you the paperwork to send to various tax agencies.

I'm quite happy with Gumroad, it's not perfect (far from it), for example they don't do bank payment to NL at the moment (apparently they're working on it). My customers purchase through Gumroad and then register their purchase in my customer portal, that way they're my customers and no matter what Gumroad does I have their contact information.

Gumroad: Customer creates Gumroad account and pays to Gumroad via Gumroad payment flow. Gumroad adds tax and pays tax to tax agencies. Paddle takes cut (3% when on 10 dollar plan). Gumroad pays to you.

Paddle: You create a customer portal to manage payments. Customer pays to Paddle via Paddle payment flow. Paddle adds tax and pays tax to tax agencies. Paddle takes cut (I believe 5%). Paddle pays to you.

Quaderno: You create a customer portal and set up (for example) Stripe and everything you normally would. Customer pays through Stripe. Quaderno adds tax. Customer pays to you. You pay tax to tax agencies.
