Need some polish man :) I would remove the dotted underline and keep width the same from start to finish.

Thanks for that! I definitely need to polish

People post so much updates here, including the smallest life updates so it's impossible to like everything (i usually leave a couple likes in a day)

It's actually kind of nice not to worry about engagement. On X you want your post to do well to beat an algorithm. Here you just post whatever. It's mostly for you, but it's also interesting to see what people are doing.

Wouldn't you be more motivated if somebody left a comment on your update or just left a like?
I think the meaning of engagement is polluted with what people are trying to achieve on X or other platforms. What I mean by engagement on WIP is just that people see and acknowledge what you do, but also kind of push you to become better.

People do see your posts. There is no algorithm AFAIK.

I personally get motivation from posting. If people like or comment on my stuff great but not required.

But, if somehow people stopped posting then it would feel like I post stuff on the void so it wouldn't be motivating any more.

All I can say is that basing your motivation or happiness on if someone is liking your posts is a shitty way to live regardless of which platform you’re on

Yes, I am building them since basic school!

No, no 😂 I meant to make money instead of books.

Haha yeah, above all it's way too easy as I heard anyway.

Yes, by cash flow I actually mean having money to live your life not just not be in debt :) I also care about cash flow right now.

Me too, I want cash flow now so I am comfortable to create more, but I do usually imagine in my mind what's a possible total revenue (since it's mostly niche books now)

Do you plan to build any products?

I am now rewriting Kamal Handbook for Kamal 2 so there's your answer! If you want PaaS I would look at Render.
