I've been wanting something like this for blogging!

@iChris @TransistorFM lol! it’s a virus

RT @megamaker: Check out this video intro made by @mijustin's son. 👾

Love this 👉 http://buns.life/

(made by @ibogost)

@chrislema 😮 I'm jealous!

My 13 year-old is saving up for one too. 👌

RT @daraghoshea: @mijustin @marketingdevs Love this. Coding is incredibly rewarding. It’s great to look at the result and think “I did that…

@patrickbjohnson It just seems reasonable that I would take my own medicine. 😁

@pkanaley Agreed!

I'd love to have this in @OvercastFM or @breaker.

With @marketingdevs I asked developers to go from "the code side to the business side."

It's only fair that I push myself to go from "the biz side to the dev side."

@m1guelpf I'll need @jonbuda to give me a good outline into what I can show in a live-coding session.

I don't want to accidentally expose something I shouldn't.

1. Contributing to the app's development in small ways is meaningful for me.
2. Exploring the back-end gives me a better sense of how @TransistorFM works.
3. Learning new skills is fun. 😎

Yes, @jonbuda is a better developer (and could do it quicker).

Yes, I'm supposed to be the "business guy."

Yes, it means Jon has to take time to help me.

BUT...

🤓 Doing some Rails dev!

I'm building this into @TransistorFM myself today:

@gioismeyo Have you used it?

@CaseyNeistat Nice work! 🏃💨

@sperte @shawnblanc @BenjaminBrooks Haha. Yup!

@jonbuda is coming too!

"Would you like us to automatically save your account statements to a Dropbox folder?"

☝️ I want this for all of my bank accounts, and every SaaS I pay for.

(Every quarter, I have to manually save PDFs to Dropbox for my bookkeeper.)

@tomcreighton When Basecamp launched in 2004, it was unique and notable. It came at the right time.

Taylor Otwell's Laravel is currently the most desirable PHP framework - for 2018 its perfectly timed.

The Zune was well-made, but the iPod was more desired in its time.

The more I hang out with successful founders, the more I see this commonality in their products:

"Useful, well-made, and desirable for its time."

@troypavlek @TransistorFM That's an interesting idea!

Why is the daily view there interesting to you?

@sethdrebitko nice!

@murrayratzlaff very true!

RT @dthorson: How would you live your life if the future of the planet depended on your behavior?

Good news! It does.

RT @codinghorror: If you get tired of explaining rationales for things over and over a million times you're gonna suuuuuper hate being a ma…

@murrayratzlaff Well...

There are about 100,000 Foxconn employees that make about $2.50 / hour.

Apple's hourly revenue is probably around $16,344,000.

@bulentm It really shows you how much money that is!!

The power of digital is it’s infinitely scalable:

Google: $615.96 makes profit / second
Microsoft: $531.21 profit / second
Facebook: $329.09 profit / second

@rrhoover This is true in many niches.

This shows you the power of leverage when it comes to creating wealth:

- You have 100,000 workers.
- You earn $1 for every second they work.
- In 2.78 hours they help you earn $1 billion.
- If you pay them $20 / hr, your profit is $994,440,000.

Imagine if you made $1 every time you snapped your fingers.

If you snap your fingers every second for 11 days you’ll earn a million dollars.

To get a billion? You’d have to snap your fingers every second for 31.5 years.

🎙️ Murphy's Law of podcast interviews:

"The best tape always happens after the formal interview is done and you've stopped recording." 😖

@curtismchale @TransistorFM Yes!

@DanielZarick @joelgascoigne 👍

@kylefox lol.

@nbashaw +1

@joelgascoigne @HannesJohnson @officialstation @buffer @kieranmoolchan @KateKendall WHAT WE SAY ON THE INTERNET LASTS FOREVER 🎉

Here it is on @Breaker:
https://www.breaker.audio/build-your-saas/e/36580873

@MattGiovanisci @TransistorFM I think you'd really benefit from this approach:

"Create multiple formats for different listeners! Some folks like 2-hours interviews, others like 30-minute commuter shows, and most folks will check out a 5-minute highlight episode."

If you've been waiting to hear about the results from our @TransistorFM launch, we just published our "launch week hangover" phone call here:

@adamwathan Nice

Still true 👉

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/435523777905324032

@Ruben_Wolff Initially, YouTube was growing really fast for me. But it turns out most of that growth was from my existing audience (podcasts, newsletter, blog).

I'd say that podcast + blog + twitter is my sweet spot.

@joeworkman Nice!!! Happy birthday! 🎉

@jmcharnes @southeastruby that venue looks rad!

Yes! This 👉

@earthlingworks @Patticus Ruben: are you still on the "cc upfront" side of that debate?

@iamashley @vic_bell @TransistorFM THANK YOU! 🙌

agreed.

https://twitter.com/adamstac/status/1025200590169751557

@patrickbjohnson WHAAAT.

btw - have you heard the Billy Corgan interview on Joe Rogan? So good.

@incredimike thanks!

🎧 Listened to this interview between @robwalling and @avclark on the flight home from Chicago.

"What do you want as a founder and human being?"

"Freedom, purpose, and relationships."

Really enjoyed it:
https://overcast.fm/+D65gQ9WwY

@_danielmeade NICE!

Both @MattGiovanisci and @avclark host with @TransistorFM!

💃🕺

@_danielmeade @TransistorFM @givewithella Do it! 👍

Of everything I've done, I've found podcasting to be the best way to earn trust with an audience.

@MrAntShelton hey! Did you ask me about RSS feeds on the Transistor site? I was busy answering other chats, but I'm available now. 👍

@chase_reeves @jonbuda Thanks!!! 💃

🚀 Big day!

My long-time friend @kylefox launched Rewardful on @producthunt today:
https://www.producthunt.com/posts/rewardful

☝️ go show him some ❤️!

C'mon Microsoft!

This is like asking the DJ to play AC/DC but they play Nickelback instead.

Awesome photos from #laracon Chicago! 📸

Thanks @ninjaparade! 🙌

@TheCraigHewitt Thanks Craig! 🙌

My most upvoted product ever on @ProductHunt is @marketingdevs (1080).

@TransistorFM is currently at 742. Will it beat my old score? 👀

@WayneLambright @TransistorFM Writing an article on this soon!

In the meantime:

"64% of my customers came from hearing me on a podcast." – @CasJam

Edison Research:

"42% are more likely to consider a new product or service after hearing about it on a podcast."

@tylertringas @TransistorFM Thank you!

(And yes, you should start a podcast 🎙️)

I really like @iamashley's format, where she reads her blog posts:

Hoping to record a @TransistorFM "launch episode" today.

In the meantime, here's our latest episode (and an example of our embedded player):

@callahkate Thank you!

Really proud of my partner @jonbuda.

He was up SUPER LATE last night building this new signup page for @TransistorFM.

I ❤️ what he did with it:
https://dashboard.transistor.fm/signup

😍 It looks so good!

@shobhitic Thanks! @jonbuda and I worked really hard; proud of what we've accomplished so far!

@yongfook I've been working on @TransistorFM with my friend @jonbuda. 👍

@pdziedzicz Thanks for sharing it!

If anyone here is awake, @TransistorFM is officially launched! 🎉

Also on @ProductHunt here 👉
https://www.producthunt.com/posts/transistor-fm

@adamwathan @tailwindcss "The internet" is overrated.

@bradenkeith Her and Taylor did all the heavy lifting.

I was just there to throw socks off stage.

@avosalmon Haha. So awesome.

WE NEED #LARACON JAPAN! 🇯🇵

@SamanthaGeitz Dang. Hope things start looking up.

You did an awesome job on your talk! 🙌

@bradenkeith @LaraconUS Adeline did an awesome job!!! 🙌

There is so much last-minute stuff to do before a launch!

At the Toronto airport finishing up the final details ahead of tomorrow's @TransistorFM launch.

Can't wait to show you what @jonbuda and I have been building. 🙌

(Look for us on @ProductHunt!)

@SIXLIV3 Thanks TJ! 🙌

Chicago! I ❤️ your city.

Amazing people.
Beautiful architecture.
Incredible food.

Back to 🇨🇦 now, but I'll be back.

(And launching @TransistorFM tomorrow!)

@tylertringas So, there's hope that I could still:

1. Learn programming?
2. Be accepted as a one of the "tough guys" in the eastern states?

🙌

@abigailotwell THE BEST

@kylefox This is exactly why I was so desperate to go remote (and later to build an indie business).

Wasting 2 hours a day in a car is the worst.

@chase_reeves That one hits a little too close to home 😳

@chase_reeves @YouTube 😂 so good. YOU NAILED IT

@chase_reeves @YouTube I used to watch for bag reviews.

Now I just watch to see your hairdos 💇‍♂️

@ninjaparade @LaraconUS @jeffrey_way OK this made me spit out my beer at the bar

@ninjaparade 😂

@Shpigford 3rd!

Also: you should mock it up in iTunes to see if it stands out.

@raddevon DDR! YES! 🕺💃

@MichaelJNovotny Yup! Plus: you get it into the hands of real users and get real feedback.

Have a business idea?

This is what starting small looks like 👉

@carljbusch YESSSSS! 🔥

Seriously: I'd buy this t-shirt @MicrosoftStore!

OMG. Microsoft in ‘80-81 has so much in common with @megamaker. 🤘

(bring that logo back and I'll wear it on a t-shirt)

@wilw_writes Thanks so much for recording this thread. Really helpful!

@iChris 4 for sure

⚡ Tip: see how your site's preview will look in iMessage, Twitter, FB, Slack, etc.. by using a tool like http://www.heymeta.com/

@dylanrwells I'm leaving on Tuesday! 😞

Would have loved to have met you toooooooo

Still in Chicago, hacking on @TransistorFM with @jonbuda.

We launch on August 1st! 🎉

@sethlouey Yup, it's this:

@siddharthkp @jonbuda Yup!
