@rails @laravelphp I got this idea while listening to @stympy & @heyjoshwood describe the launch of their new @honeybadgerapp "Insights" feature (on their podcast).

I thought: "Man, @TransistorFM just did a launch too. It would be cool for us to compare notes."

Just had a fun idea for an event:

"SaaS Demo Camp"

Get a handful of @rails/@laravelphp SaaS teams together.

AM: Dev teams demo a new feature and describe how they built it. Q&A from other teams.

PM: marketing teams explain the launch & the results (revenue, trials, etc). Q&A

@joetannenbaum Yup! That’s one of @TransistorFM’s podcast website themes that @joshuaanderton built. 💯

@joetannenbaum I agree!

@CasJam Just what I needed!

(Was starting to get that "sleepy Friday feeling")

@mattwensing @bryce I met him at XOXO. He is surprisingly tall!

@levelsio Google announced all of this 4 years ago… and then canned the project. 😩

@kfinn 🙏

@PodKatt A few Canadian indie podcasts in the tech industry had/have sponsors:

- @wesbos’ http://Syntax.fm
- @adamwathan’s Full Stack Radio

@earthlingworks I believe @ianlandsman was just looking into this.

@stympy Congrats on the launch! 🎉

@ianlandsman Did he like it better than the Fisker? 😬

@cathrynlavery @emilyrcolman Cheers! 🍸

Brian is super talented at taking new SaaS products/features from concept to launch.

If you have something you need to ship, call Brian! https://twitter.com/CasJam/status/1765759395072250278

@TransistorFM @ApplePodcasts Kudos to @stephenrobles and @JasonAten for doing this on their podcast first so I could follow their example! 🙌

@redman His DMs are open. 👍

@shrutibalasa Yup! My co-founder @jonbuda uses it and likes it.

“Being focused is good, [as long as you can] stop at will and rest.

Hyperfocus, on the other hand, means you’re not able to stop.

Sometimes I see someone just crushing it on Twitter and then months later see the same person writing about burnout. That’s hyperfocus.” https://twitter.com/typeoneerror/status/1765513198680371220

@typeoneerror @mariepoulin 💯💯💯

“Being focused is good, and I think the measure of it is being able to stop at will and rest.”

@CasJam @ianlandsman Brian, when are you and @JordanGal going to stop messing around and build the next Great Company™ together?

You two would be unstoppable!!!

@steve_tenuto @PlanetScale Your work is killer!

Whoever hires you next will be lucky to have you.

@r00k We did this with @TransistorFM!

No pricing page, no onboarding, no self-serve.

We manually invited our first 100 paying customers.

💯 what you're saying - you learn SO MUCH by doing it this way.

An example of the top-tier dev content @aarondfrancis has been producing.

WHAT.

Aaron is one of the most talented video creators on the web right now.

Hiring him will be a HUGE win for whoever is lucky enough to get him.

(especially if your company is looking to grow a YouTube channel on dev/database-related topics) https://twitter.com/aarondfrancis/status/1765430177746575367

@aarondfrancis WHAT!

You're literally one of the most talented content creators on the web right now.

Hiring you will be a big win for whoever is lucky enough to get you!!!

@nbashaw I’ve written about this!

I like your framing of “creative tools.” 👍

@MostlyTechPod Alternate titles:

“Aaron’s Phishing Scheme”
“Ian’s Weed Delivery Service”
“Are you an Alcohol Man?”

@MostlyTechPod @aarondfrancis @ianlandsman Loved this story.

🤔 If I'm going to replace this, is there a simple, functional keyboard you would recommend that isn't Apple?

(Or should I just get another Apple Magic keyboard?) https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1765158779816186157

@jxzunino Yeah. “ASD” are all worn out.

@mitchdav @Apple I think it’s the way I curl my fingers on my left hand when typing.

Clearly, I've typed "SaaS" too many times.

I’ve worn through my @Apple keyboard’s “A” key, to the point where it no longer works. 😳

I highly recommend you read @GeoffTRoberts’ whole piece:

https://www.outseta.com/posts/the-case-for-the-7-day-credit-card-required-free-trial

🎯

“I’ve seen more companies using a 7-day free trial with a credit card required. I’ll cut to the chase—this model is not always loved by potential customers, but it’s often the best model. Especially for small, bootstrapped companies.”
– @GeoffTRoberts

@tylertringas We’ve done something similar for independent podcast services:

@jslackey @iamjeremyenns Yessssss. Love this!

Real humans are listening!! ❤️

@mjwhansen 👏👏👏

@asmartbear @george__mack I’m not sure I agree with George’s assertion that we are in “peak envy” right now.

There’s a good argument to be made that envy peaked in the 1980s!

Last chance to sign this letter and send a strong message to the US Senate:

“Stop fucking around and repeal Section 174!!!” https://twitter.com/mjwhansen/status/1763930357739442652

@asmartbear Whether it’s a traditional search engine, scanning Reddit, or asking an LLM a question, I think “intent based queries” is still going be a significant acquisition channel.

@p_millerd ❤️❤️❤️

Noah is famous for giving people “their first dollar” during his talk at SumoCon.

This box from @noahkagan has got me intrigued.

I’m going to open it later today! 👀

@levelsio @aarondfrancis @andrewculver Haha. @andrewculver and I do look alike.

We’re both Canadian; maybe we’re related? 🤔 https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/717099759236833280

😅

It's interesting.

I used to log in to Product Hunt at least every week (but rarely do now).

I don't visit Indie Hackers as much as I used to.

My Hacker News usage is also down (used to be daily, but now I visit maybe every month).

Do you regularly engage on any of these sites?

@peterakkies @TransistorFM @stephenrobles Yup, it should! As long as they're formatting them properly.

@p_millerd @ApplePodcasts @Spotify @OvercastFM It auto-finds Spotify and Apple but I had to manually add the others.

@AndrewWarner @TransistorFM Accessibility is a big one.

One of my favorite features is the ability to browse a text transcript on the podcast website and jump to they part of the audio:

I had a great conversation with @p_millerd about how bootstrapping helped Jon and me create a "calm company" where the product improves the customer's lives, and the company improves the lives of our team.

Listen on @ApplePodcasts, @Spotify, @OvercastFM:

On the Pathless Path podcast, @p_millerd asked me:

"What is a calm company?"

@saasmakermac @TransistorFM Thanks! 😊

@mikerugnetta @TransistorFM Thank you Mike!

I’ve got your newest episode queued up for my walk to the office tomorrow!

Today the @TransistorFM team launched a big new feature: AI podcast transcription.

Upload your episode, click "Transcribe with AI," and it automatically transcribes, does speaker identification, and generates SRT, VTT, TXT, JSON, and HTML transcripts!

We're excited about it!

@JackRhysider Well done!

(@iamjeremyenns and I have mentioned you a few times on our new show!)

@adamwathan You just gotta hire someone who’s been a founder. 💪

@ItMeansFaith @stauffermatt Love these! The photo of you and Matt dancing together is my favorite.
