SkySurge App

Amen to that. Genuine interaction goes a long way.

If I were an indie dev, I'd be tracking #indiedev and leaving thoughtful comments on 90 posts a day.

Not "nice project!" comments.
Real ones. The kind that make people click your profile.

Because your next paying customer is already talking
about their problems on Bluesky.

Big fan of smart, genuine engagement for lasting reach.

Thanks for sharing that! Love the transparency.

Is that due to people being lazy to cancel or (before) lazy to add the CC later? What does the churn look like?

Week 7: 70 real followers (+6% growth), 5 users in the app. #buildinpublic

Yup, more than ever. Welcome back!

Haha, yes, I got an email from SkySurge about the trial that expires in 3 days. To my test account.

Congrats, here's to many more $$$.

Who says we do? 😜

Big fan of https://github.com/gsd-build/get-shit-done, I'm wondering how that compares to the spec-driven development toolkit.

Thanks for the clarification, that makes a lot of sense.

That's a very nice pipeline. Do you track metrics over the different shared content?

I like that extra iteration looking over the plan again. Personally I have started using https://github.com/gsd-build/get-shit-done, which does a good job of context management.

Eating cake (and testing software)

Love those hashtags, I'm sure they would work well in the SkySurge app to engage with other like-minded people. #Booksky is super busy (not just today!).

Awww, those are amazing!

Or a disaster waiting to happen when I forget about the chocolate bar.

Also, funny that there is zero mention of this on their website.

Back in the day (ahem). No, let me start over; I have pivoted from a SW career to Quality Management, and thanks to AI I have a rekindled joy of developing software again. AI does the coding, I am in the driver seat. To me personally, this is a big win; but I am also aware of the downside.

So true. Even more important to keep all books accessible for all!

What made you choose Substack over, e.g., Ghost or Beehive?

Thanks, I'll have a loom layer today.

Good old basic authentication? Classy...
