@twigpress Yeah, it’s ridiculous! Totally destructive for family life, and terrible for that person’s mental health (being stuck in the car all day)

100% this.

Flexible work gives families more margin. https://twitter.com/alphacolin/status/1401204146959650826

@RohanKochhar I would say the market should have “enough” demand.

There should be enough pull there for you to grow a healthy company.

@Codie_Sanchez Where’s this stat from? (“98% have defaulted…”)

@adamwathan @TwitterBlue Totally. 💯

I've been asking for a "premium version of Twitter" for a long time, so I signed up for @TwitterBlue.

I *really* wanted to like it, but...

I'm going to cancel. Currently, it misses the mark for avid Twitter users.

@GeoffTRoberts Thanks!

@spencerfry @alphacolin @TransistorFM I’m still not convinced that every company needs to grow beyond 5-10 people. 🙏

@lesley_pizza Mostly the ones that are overly complex, and have no simple answers. 😅

@alphacolin Dang; and here I am struggling with the idea of @TransistorFM being over 5 people. 😅

@MartinHN @TwitterBlue Here’s a quick demo.

Trying out @TwitterBlue!

@StephenWilson @adlandiapodcast Listening now; great episode!

@PodcastindexOrg You’ve got yourself a beauty there.

@StephenAfamO @jessethanley @ProseMirror Yes, we’ve been looking to switch ProseMirror. 👍

@jessethanley @boaticus @froala Yeah, we’re using Trix right now.

It’s not good if you want to sanitize HTML, especially for email and podcast apps (need to replace <divs> with <p>)

@seanwes @gabesumner I need a solution like this that just *works* for Transistor customers. 😅

I think the only way to do it is to sanitize people's HTML after they've entered text in the WYSIWYG editor.

Users *should* be able to write where they normally write, and then be able to copy and paste with minimal friction.

Word (in particular) adds terrible HTML/styling to their formatted text.

The problem is that Word has its own (shitty) rendering engine:

https://www.hteumeuleu.com/2020/outlook-rendering-engine/

@jessethanley Which WYSIWYG editor are you using for Bento?

@brianoflondon @JamesCridland Haha. Sorry, what? What does learning to code have to do with users using WYSIWG editors?

(Or are you advocating that all internet users learn to code?)

@JamesCridland @gabesumner It makes sense for a user to want to write where they normally write, and then be able to copy and paste with minimal friction.

Also, Microsoft Word adds terrible HTML/styling to their formatted text.

https://www.hteumeuleu.com/2020/outlook-rendering-engine/

@volkandkaya Which editor are you using?

@arukomp hahahaha. 🤣 I can imagine the confusion!

Copying and pasting from Word/Google Docs into another WYSIWYG editor is still a nightmare! 🙈

@noahwbragg @potion_so Nice work! 🙌

@GentScientist Lol. Good case study

When I say "polished" I'm referring to the "sheen of professionalism."

Doing a presentation the "polished, professional" way (where everything is scripted, and delivered with fake enthusiasm) isn't engaging.

Be real. Show some humanity!

"How did you get the idea for @TransistorFM?"

Had a really nice chat with @GetTheAudience about how business ideas are discovered.

@lepikhinb @JackEllis @reelvideo Nice! Just added you! 🙌

@whatifi_io Yup. 💯 this.

Authentic > Polished

@codespairams A good baseline principle:

https://youtu.be/rHTr17jfTCk

@codespairams Not too late! The key is to start where you are. 👍

@oktuned Thanks!

@leahatloop Yes, but (often) the earlier you get that momentum going, the better.

You can get years of “practice” in in your 20s, which can certainly be a benefit.

https://youtu.be/rHTr17jfTCk

@thepatwalls @mynameis_davis @jonbuda 👋 it’s honestly super weird to be able to look back on some of these old episodes.

We had no idea how things would turn out!

https://share.transistor.fm/s/a36d03eb

@ArlanWasHere 100% agree.

@Yourfahee Good luck! 🙌

@chadkoh 😱

It’s a great time to be in your 20s now. Indie SaaS is an established “thing.” It’s way more accessible.

There’s a whole culture of young people starting companies. There’s a movement; it’s a pretty special time.

(When I turned 20, MailChimp hadn’t even been founded yet)

@sicktastic She just finished her first year of college! 😮

@fortysevenfx I can’t imagine!!!

@Merott Hahaha. Love it!

Shout out to all the 22 year olds with newborns and no money. I’ve been there! 😅

For me, my indie SaaS (@TransistorFM) has given me the most financial margin, the most free time, and the least amount of stress.

Again, I’m thankful, but I could have really used this about 11 years ago when I had 2 kids in diapers. 😅

@gimenete For me, my SaaS has given me the most money and the most free time.

The irony is: the stage of life where you could really use the flexibility + financial margin of an established indie SaaS is when you’re 25 with a newborn. 😜

(But that’s the hardest time to do anything extra, much less start a business!)

@iampliny Totally. It’s why this quote from Clear has continued to resonate with me: https://twitter.com/JamesClear/status/1212366465678151680

No matter your stage of life, the best advice is still: “do what you can, with what you have,” and “start now, start small.”

I didn’t really start building indie projects until I was 33 (and had 4 kids aged 3-11).

At the time I felt like I was behind; but I’m glad I started. ❤️

@chddaniel Hard to answer that, because I was a completely different person back then.

I got married young and had kids young, which dramatically effected the trajectory of my life.

I’ll always have a soft spot for young parents who are trying to start a business.

Starting a business when you have kids (especially infants!), and very little capital, is a whole other level.

It’s the “hardest hard mode;” especially for bootstrappers.

@smlpth 💯

Thankful for where I am, but still occasionally jealous of all the folks in their 20s and 30s building indie SaaS companies so young. ✌️

@imkialikethecar @iiiitsandrea @nbashaw @danshipper Came here to say this (👋 true geriatric millennial here)

@charliprangley @sara_brunettini @CorbettBarr @jayclouse You should!
