Now that we have Product Updates on WIP, I figured I'd share a monthly report. Here it goes… Metrics Numbers are a little down compared to March. This was to be expected as we launched last month leading to a lot of new members and increased activity. Overall though, the numbers look really go...

Today I'm introducing the beta of Product Updates, a better way to share your most important product changes, milestones, and other changes. Todos are a great way to share incremental updates on your product. Whether it's a bug fix or small feature. However, some changes deserve more attention t...

I really like to see we all have a life. Sometimes it even remembers me I should go out. But where I'm productive and want to be, I think it's better to hide it to only get motivated by people working on they own things too. Also, generalize it would help people understand they can have a life to...

What books and/or long-form articles are you reading? What do you like and dislike about them?

When I first started WIP about four years ago I never thought it would turn into what it is today. It was a just a Telegram chatgroup, free for anyone to join. Pretty soon though, some very kind people (many still active members today!) asked if they could donate some $$$ to WIP in the hope to i...

WIP's streaks are always a decisive topic. Some people claim it's what finally made them a productive maker while others dislike the unhealthy incentive to work every single day. For the people that do like streaks, it can be very demotivating when they eventually lose them and have to start fro...

When you join an accelerator like Y Combinator you not only getting funding and mentorship, but I believe they also offer various services like legal advice, setting up payroll, etc. Their goal is let you focus on your core business, and they take care of all the secondary stuff. VC firms do the...

I wanted to let you know about some changes to WIP membership that will help us maintain the quality of our community and ensure the long-term sustainability of our platform. Starting today, we will be moving to a paid membership model for all new members. Existing members will be grandfathered ...

WIP currently shows you their daily tasks and occasional milestones. What other things would you like to see? I'll list some ideas below, but I'd love to get your suggestions too! • Revenue / MRR for each project • Other metrics like user growth, engagement, etc • Weekly/monthly recap of their ...

We’re going to try something new. Have a specific topic for some of our weekly hangouts.  Which topics would you like to discuss? We might try and invite an expert to answer your questions. Thanks @ben for the suggestion!

When I initially added the #hashtag feature to WIP the idea was to group all your product's todos together in one place. That's still what most people use them for. However, more and more people have started using them for other creative usecases like #life (non-work related todos), tracking the...

Just wanted to give you all a quick explanation on WIP being down today and earlier this week. I've been in process of switching many of my smaller apps from Render to Digital Ocean, deployed through Kamal. While I'm still a big fan of Render and I think it's great for hosting profitable sites, ...

I recently finished reading Poor Charlie's Almanack, which is a collection of Charlie Munger's talks. One of his most well known phrases is "Invert, always invert." which is a technique to come up with non-obvious insights when working on a goal. For example, if you goal is to decrease churn, y...

There's a new WIP feature I've been contemplating. Would love your feedback! The idea is to pick a topic each month and we all work on todos related to that topic. For example, one month the topic might be "SEO". At the start of the month we share our SEO-related goals, throughout the month we s...

With over 1,000 products on WIP it can be hard to stay up-to-date on your favorite ones. So starting today you can follow products. By following a product you will get notified of their Product Updates. You also get a handy list of all the products you follow. 

I was thinking about the Idea because you see "build in public" projects do very well. But they are all about building online, right? I am about to acquire a piece of land in the mountains, and my goal is to build a nice hideaway, cabin/tiny house style. Would you follow this journey? All from ...

Which great software have you discovered which makes your life or work much easier?

If you have any feedback for me, post it here. Of course you can also share it in the chat or email me personally. People occasionally ask me what the best place is to share their ideas, so I figured I'd create a post for it. 😁
