HOT DAMN! 🔥

Happy birthday @ianlandsman! 🕺🎉

@rrhoover @ProductHunt @sarahbuhr Babies are good for ratings. 👍

@ianlandsman I was using flashlights for this BEFORE they were in phones.

@KateKendall I'm in! 🙌

(but can we do it in Canada)

Damn.

@J_Goldstein's Heavyweight podcast just made me cry in the grocery store.

Live now: sharing an idea for a new web app I'd like to build (Maybe in @laravelphp?) https://www.pscp.tv/w/bozapDM4NTU1MXwxWmtKek5qZ3Z6ckp2elZhILN64LZ9DPBK9l2VuJ3E1WEQL-2oU2ZZq63NsCE=

To summarize:

1. Kids and teens, as a demographic, have a huge influence on the internet.
2. It's possible that negative pieces of the internet are being amplified by kids whose brains (and ability to reason) are still developing.

Think of it this way: a lot of the internet is like a masquerade ball.

We're all mingling in the same virtual space, but we don't know how old the other attendees are.

There are certain social spaces (bars, casinos) where we've set age restrictions for precisely this reason.

I have four kids.

My boy (9 and 10) watch SSundee (a Minecraft YouTuber) almost every day.

🤔 Do you (as an adult) watch the same YouTuber, every day, no matter what?

My guess is that between your job, commuting, making dinner, helping your kids, you're not watching as much.

Beautiful post by @webwright ❤️

@atleeclark @AirCanada It's the version of Business Class where you're the only person on the jet. 😜

💯 Jordan just articulated this perfectly.

🏜️ "Crossing the desert" is a great metaphor for starting a company and getting it to scale.

@taylorotwell @themsaid CMS 💃

⚡ There are two main benefits to a public launch:

1. It builds anticipation! When folks are excited about something in the future, it works in your favor. They're counting down the days.

2. On the day of the launch, people who are excited about your product WILL TALK ABOUT IT.

Question: I'm Canadian. Does this line here mean the IRS in the 🇺🇸 is withholding 30% of all my sales to Americans? 😮

I'm editing the next episode of the @megamaker podcast right now.

I think if you've been enjoying my bootstrapping series, you're really going to get a lot out of it.

@arminulrich thanks for making @shipstreams. It's a good idea! 👍

Savage, but true.

Example:

☎️ I love @MatthewBogart's comics about the 90's dial-up BBS scene (how's that for a niche!).

👍 I want to see his work continue, so I support it on Patreon.

❤️ Because his work is meaningful to me, it's one of the best investments I make.

@Veronica 🎤 ATR2100 USB - dynamic mic, very good sound for the price.

🎧 Sennheiser HD 202 II

💻 For editing Garage Band (but lately I've been using Screenflow!)

📊 For hosting + analytics I like @TransistorFM (but I'm biased 😁)

🤔 What's the most important metric for a new web app?

Last week's accomplishments + this week's goals. ✅

Live now: more experimentation with @tailwindcss (@adamwathan's CSS framework) https://www.pscp.tv/w/bngOmDM4NTU1MXwxTHl4QlFhb1FxekpOeiZ0SM8nXo-qf21u4K9DhVL2ZLa-yaIJp4u9Krzdk28=

I'm still using @path as a private network to share photos and videos with family.

😢 Sad to see it go @davemorin!

@CorbettBarr Reminds me of this gem:

"Don't contribute to the pollution of content that's out there on the web."

😅 not sure what my son is planning here...

"Here's the problem with podcasts..." https://overcast.fm/+MBmXMPfXY

@coreyhainesco @TransistorFM Yup. I'm learning Rails stuff too.

There's just so much going on in the @laravelphp world that I'm excited about. 👍

💰 I've started investing on Republic.

🎙️ First investment: @RadioPublic, the public podcast marketplace.

👉 Details: https://republic.co/radiopublic/i/8pog1a

@pjrvs I’ve got a few Google+ invites if you want one! 👌

☝️ @robwalling and @SingleFounder I hit stop on the recording and opened up Overcast and saw your episode 😜

Listening now! So interesting to hear your take:

https://overcast.fm/+L7tghncwk

@m1guelpf @stauffermatt Yeeaaaah dawg!

@quuu_co A5. Most important podcast metrics:

📈 Estimated number of subscribers.

📊 Average downloads per episode. (Advertisers especially like these numbers)

🎧 Listener trends. What's their fave episode? Are downloads going up or down?

We offer all of these in @TransistorFM.

Chat between @jonbuda and I:

"I'm streaming this live right now."
😮 "Oh"
"So I'm glad you're wearing clothes."
😊 "Yeah, at least I have a shirt on."
"I guess I didn't really give you a choice."
🤨 "No you didn't, thanks for that."
<laughter>

@philsturgeon It wasn't just CodeIgniter though. CakePHP, Zend, Yii - they're all active around the same time.

I could add Symfony to that list too, which was often seen as a competitor to Laravel (and is still in active development).

Yes this 👉

Really sad to see these @tweetbot stats go away.

( @Twitter removed their API access which is why it says “0 activity” today)

By far one of my favorite features. 😢

Here's both parts on YouTube if that's your jam:

Back in 2013-2014, @akebrattberg, @codemarty and I worked on ideas for:

- Splitting revenue between partners
- Providing partnership agreements
- Making it easier for creators to collaborate on projects

I've been wanting something like this for blogging!

The older folks can warn the younger folks about the pitfalls of what they're doing now:

@taylorotwell Sweet!

"Taylor must have built a CMS" 🤔

@taylorotwell What % will I understand?

Somebody fill my desk drawer at the office with snacks.

@adamwathan @tillkruss @ianlandsman Are you taking selfies or photos of your ceiling?

I'm super proud of @theleviallen and everything he's doing with video. 👍

(I'm not even talking about the @CaseyNeistat run...)

Levi's just a dynamite storyteller, and he keeps getting better.

@blirwin @StephenWilson @PodcastMovement Should I go? Is it worth it?

@brennandunn @csallen @IndieHackers So basically you're saying I'm the 👴 of Indie Hackers.

This ⁦@TransistorFM⁩ episode has a cliffhanger at the end. Just recorded part 2 - it's coming on Tuesday! https://overcast.fm/+MBmW_k6hM

@theleviallen "Yup, my name is Casey Neistat."

Focus on what moves you forward!

https://twitter.com/KateKendall/status/1012244400850681857

@tomcreighton Seriously. Whoever moves first in Canada (hint, hint @AzloNow or @RevolutApp) will discover a bunch of pent-up demand.

@levelsio @raunometsa and "indie makers" db is similar to what @ginatrapani and @anildash were trying to build with @makerbase.

Ironically:

🇨🇦 selling to 🇺🇸? You don’t need to collect sales tax.

🇺🇸 selling to 🇨🇦? You don’t need to collect sales tax.

(for now)

@CorbettBarr You've gotta see what @derrickreimer is building at @PoweredByLevel. 👌

People get thousands of messages every day.

The first question people ask is:
"Is this a trustworthy source?"

If you haven't built the rapport, folks won't listen.

Every Saturday morning, I send a newsletter for product people.

🎤 In our latest episode, @nathanbarry gives @jonbuda and I some SaaS pricing advice. 📈 https://overcast.fm/+MBmVpCeec

What does @nathanbarry think of my pricing? https://www.breaker.audio/build-your-saas/e/34256411

👨‍💻 Got to hang out at @okcolab coworking in #Kelowna today.

It’s changed so much! @scdaustin is fostering a really cool community there. 👍

Pricing software is hard! Are we doing it right?

Listen to @jonbuda and I thrash around for answers:

@patio11 Stripe Atlas for 🇨🇦 corporations.

Corp structure (and taxation) is way simpler here.

(Also, easier for US co-founders to invest)

Every time you get to inbox zero @hotdogsladies gets an email.

Omg. What dreams are made of.

@clayhebert I've found that surveys / feedback forms don't work great (UserVoice etc...)

But, doing customer interviews (over Skype / phone) really works.

Thanks to everyone who's already listening! 🙌

Hey #yeg 👋

I’m downtown today doing some work for some clients. If you’d like to meet for a ☕️ at @CredoCoffee let me know and I’ll try make it work. 👍

@earthlingworks I didn't put a lot of thought into it. 😂

Just saw some software @CorbettBarr and the @Fizzle crew built and I am *really* impressed. 🙌

Oooh. @egarbugli asked me to reveal my secret SaaS plans today. We'll see. Maybe I will. 😉

Just answered my first question from @calummoore:

"If someone doesn't already have a big following (blogs, twitter, etc), what are the best tactics for getting heard?"

Like @destroytoday, I saw many of my 🇺🇸 solopreneur friends go back to paid employment, simply because they couldn’t get health insurance any other way.

Tomorrow I'm doing an AMA on @IndieHackers!

You need to become so valuable, they’ll stick with you year after year (and ignore all the alternatives).

@intercom has done a good job of this.

Does the ski resort care if I use my season’s pass?

(After all, they already have my money)

They better care!

If I don’t use it, I won’t renew next year.
