I wrote more about this back in January:

@iChris Yup.

Generally:
- closed the blinds so more sun doesn’t come in
- keep your central fan recirculating
- open the windows as soon as it gets into the 25C range (and keep them open overnight)

@blbraner @derrickreimer @r00k @TheJackForge @JordanGal @mkennedy @brianokken @CasJam @petersuhm @KennethCassel For @meepsapp, @joshuaanderton and I use Notion.

@chrisfosterelli I constantly use Twitter search. 😄

@EmmettNaughton @NickSloggett Editing a new episode of http://podcast.megamaker.co right now!

@staceypacer @thisiskp_ This is the process I use:

1. Record and edit using @DescriptApp.
2. Upload the MP3 to @TransistorFM to publish the episode to the RSS feed, and distribute to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc.

https://youtu.be/N41v30oLM2o

@staceypacer @thisiskp_ @staceypacer KP's new podcast website is using the built-in template we offer at @TransistorFM. 👍

@Jeremy_Atkinson Yup! Love what @scdaustin is doing at @okcolab. 🙌

@tdeekens I’ve never seen it work personally (and I’ve been in situations where it’s been tried).

Also this: https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1412804399278170113

@adii Stripe already offers pretty big loans based purely on revenue data.

I think a quick expense check is fine. In Canada they generally check for:

- estimated property taxes
- estimated utilities
- car payments
- other loans

@patio11 I've heard (at least in Canada?) it has more to do with the insurers, whom (I assume) care about risk?

Verified subscription revenue seems far more dependable than a paycheque.

Consistent MRR > Paystubs

@tylertringas 😂 love it

@flowtoyourdream @CaseyAPayne @TransistorFM Beauty! Listening to your first episode now.

BTW - your audio quality is already 💯

@christina_p @meepsapp Yes! The idea is to combine these features in one place:

1. Registration + subscriptions
2. Website (https://megamaker.meeps.app/)
3. Email newsletter / articles (paid or public)
4. Member Directory
5. Events
6. Job board
7. Sponsors

Meeps will also link to Slack, Discord, etc.

@christina_p Curious: would @meepsapp’s member directory work for your use-case?

@JacobBennett @michaeldyrynda almost at 100!!! 😮

@Kev_Conti What are you using to run your newsletter/membership Kevin?

@joshuaanderton and I are working on @meepsapp, and are curious about the tools currently in place.

@arvidkahl @joshuaanderton Thanks Arvid! 🥰

@EspreeDevora Mostly curious because @joshuaanderton and I are working on @meepsapp and I want to know what solutions folks are already using.

https://www.producthunt.com/upcoming/meeps

@EspreeDevora Definitely!

I’m curious about your tech stack for We Are LA Tech; what apps/tech/hosting do you use for your site + other community features?

@BorisTane @bkmarkHQ Nice! How do I connect my account to Twitter on mobile?

⚡ Update:

@joshuaanderton and I just hit 50 subscribes on our @ProductHunt waiting list!

We're 50% of the way towards our goal of 100 subscribers. 🤞

@jamesjgill @DescriptApp @TransistorFM 🙏 Incredibly important topic. Thanks for talking about it.

(Thanks for using @TransistorFM! 🙌)

@thejonotron 😂

@leenyburger Great episode. Loved this one.

@geecyr Yes. 🤞

@mjwhansen You can do this with your existing @TransistorFM account, no extra cost:

https://transistor.fm/paid-private-podcast/

@flybayer Thanks Brandon!

@tair @IndieHackers @megamaker Do you really believe that though?

I don't buy this narrative that indie hackers don't have good team skills or "wouldn't make good employees."

Sure, they're escaping something (bad bosses, bad pay, boring work), but if you fix those, they'll make awesome employees.

@alphacolin Oh yeaaaaaah!!! I want to see a post breaking down all this gear.

Also: are you podcasting?

@Podchaser I've been publishing ours publicly here:

https://transistor.fm/public-podcast-stats

@mikerubini @joshuaanderton Lol. Exactly.

@MightyFineCopy_ Wow. 🤩

@m1guelpf Sending you lots of ❤️.

I’m here if you need to talk!

@asantibanez @jasonlbeggs OMG YES

Published a video showing how to fix those audio sync problems I was having yesterday. 🙌

https://youtu.be/LtpxIVTr7jA

@calebporzio @tnorthcutt I haven’t reflected on this yet, but I like the Notes on Work cover. 👍

@adampatterson Hahaha. That's what I really want to know.

In Washington DC, in 2017, here's what you'd need if you want to merely attain an *adequate standard of living:*

👨‍👨‍👧‍👦 For a family of 4,
💸 you'd need $105,539 ($115k today).

👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👧‍👦 For families of 6,
💸 you'd need $136,347 ($150K today).

👀 Housing costs are much higher in 2021.

@Swizec I get your point.

But even founders who outwardly buy this rhetoric of “making a dent in the world” are still motivated by money.

Otherwise, we’d see a lot more B-corps. 😜

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

@arvidkahl Thanks for the shout out!

@ElishevaMarcus @chddaniel Whoa! Thanks for sharing these. 🙌

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

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

@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

@tylertringas I should have said: "This tweet inspired by Tyler's tweet, but also because I just got a haircut." 😆

@tom_hirst @kvlly yup. I explored this in some detail here:

https://justinjackson.ca/charge-more

@kvlly Curious: is this from a freelancing perspective? Or a product/SaaS perspective?

@kvlly Is there a story behind this tweet? 😉

@jbrooksuk @laravelphp Nice! Looks great.

@jones_spencera 👀

@mattalexand Neighborhood Goods got a nice little shoutout in @nbashaw and @danshipper’s podcast 😄

(Y’all should all meet each other 👍)

@CasJam @TransistorFM The most effective content seems to be “How I use X for Y”

“How Jane uses @ZipMessageApp for outbound sales.”

“How @ConvertKit uses @TransistorFM to connect with creators.”

☝️ I need to invest more in this type of storytelling + content.

@CasJam With branding the whole aim is to create a perception around your product that gets people talking + buying.

For @TransistorFM that’s meant:

- attracting (and highlighting) high-profile customers
- investing in design assets
- lots of content
- partnering with affiliates https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/630850392822292480

@kasperkamperman It’s a good idea!

I’ve tried Coil.

The standard just needs much more adoption.

Our para-social relationships on Twitter can make us feel like we can say something personal to someone we follow, even though there's no real relationship there.

It might be OK to ask a friend: "You doing ok? You look tired."

But writing that comment on YouTube? Not OK.

@JordanGal Nice! 🙌 Excited to see this new journey unfold.

@catthekin “Oh wow bud. You’re vaccinated already heh?”

@petecodes There are, but I've found it more helpful to read their bios/websites and then reach out to folks who seem like they'd be a good fit.

@CasJam @tylertringas Some of this can become a self-fulfilling prophecy though. 😉

@NathanTankus Lol. That’s the newsletter you need to write!

@aarondfrancis Congrats! 🎉 You’re doing great! 🙌

@MattGiovanisci Impressive! 🙌

@DanSchoonmaker Lol. Happy to serve that role. 👴🏻

@stauffermatt See Matt, I knew you and I were going to be buds.

@MrAsquith @GeekNews @AlbanBrooke 🎯 exactly

Transparency helps us help them!

@drmzio Turning 41 next month! 😅

@yongfook Omg. Yes.

ACiD could re-release all their ANSI art packs as NFTs and I’d go from “NFTs are dumb” to “take all my money!!!”

http://www.acid.org/whatsnew/whatsnew.html

@AskAlicePlease Lol. Exactly.

(I need to watch that movie again btw)

@atpfm @marcoarment @caseyliss @siracusa

The best assessment of the Basecamp situation I've read so far is this one by @fakebaldur:

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1389626743611219968

@RamliJohn I got my first shot yesterday! 🙌

Felt light-headed right after. Light fever / sweats at night.

Woke up this morning with a light headache.

But I've felt pretty good since 10am. 👍

@freekmurze 🙌

@StephenWilson @nbashaw Just a bit of Twitter research folks, nothing to see here.

@ericlbarnes 🎯

Listening to @nickfthilton on @HighFiveRPG’s podcast.

He and I seem to have lots of agreement here. ☝️

@nukemberg @dvassallo No, leadership is about doing the *right* thing (even when it might be unpopular).

Not every unpopular decision is a good decision.

This is a very bad decision. Losing 30%+ of your team, and erasing much of the goodwill it took you decades to build, is not “good.”

@m1guelpf @tryShowtime Nice! 🙌

@tillkruss They didn’t leave for the money.

These were life-long employees (some with 15 years there!). They enjoyed their work. They liked the team. They were well-paid.

They would have loved to stay.

This was about a series of bad leadership decisions. This could have all been avoided.

@Elmwoodie @kdlafrance We rename the file automatically on @TransistorFM.

This is an Apple caching issue that’s existed for quite some time.

@cassidoo nice. love this idea. 👍

@brennandunn @r00k @jonbuda @shaisc hahaha. let's push this to production and see what happens!

🚗💨🔥

@jonrojas @JackRhysider Still no word from Apple on this one.

Just published an update here:
https://transistor.fm/apple-podcasts-problem/

@cgimmer @tylertringas @marshal @StephanieKelton I’ll read it!

@Mike_Andreuzza @TransistorFM Beauty! What are you building here? A CMS?

@marshal @tylertringas “After 2008, the consensus (on printing leading to inflation) was blown apart. Since then, Western economies have run record budget deficits—yet there’s been negligible inflation.”

https://www.city-journal.org/modern-money-theory

There are limits, but not “household budget limits.”

@SteveSaretsky Curious: what kickstarted GenX's homeownership gains? 🤔

@scottmathson Really disappointing. 😞

👎

@chrismessina @StephenWilson @gruber @AppleMusic These elements have been in motion for awhile.

The most visible examples have been the move to email newsletters.

https://www.npr.org/2020/12/02/941020719/tired-of-the-social-media-rat-race-journalists-move-to-writing-substack-newslett

@chrismessina @StephenWilson @gruber @AppleMusic Creators are going back to open protocols: email, the web, RSS.

They’ve been burned by centralized platforms (Youtube, Medium, FB) who own distribution (and the connection with the audience).

What’s old is new:
- email newsletters
- podcasts (RSS)

@noahwbragg Way to go. It's a hard market out there! You're lucky to get anything these days.

@janetacarr Whoa! Congrats on making the jump!

@m1guelpf You are the most productive person I know!

@noahwbragg Congrats! Still in Seattle?

@tudor_prodan Oh, this tweet assumes they’re already using + paying. 😊

@jamespotterdev @TransistorFM @ApplePodcasts That’s primarily for the paid shows.

They’re still encouraging free podcasts to use RSS:

https://podcasters.apple.com/support/899-set-up-your-show-for-a-subscription

@actkay @AlbanBrooke @CarryOnKerry @SkyePillsbury @NathanG @MrAsquith @arithisandthat @mralpete I recorded a quick summary here:

https://youtu.be/ory3uSw7qZg

WTF.

You now need to enter your phone number to submit your show to Apple Podcasts?!

Ok, this is weird: you can now add a show to Apple Podcasts without an RSS feed?

Getting multiple reports that people’s podcasts have disappeared from @ApplePodcasts.

(I’m assuming this is a temporary glitch)
