nothing better than shipping software products from the 40th floor

something about it makes me excited to get shit done

I'm having more fun with my 404 page than I should.

Want to see how your monthly living costs stack up against dozens of founders around the world? 👀💰

You can try out the little tool I added to founderspend.dominiksobe.com and see yourself if you are a big spendaaaa or not

🏠 The gap between the cheapest and most expensive person in the dataset is hard to believe

I also added a section that shows you how your costs compare across the dataset so you can feel either awesome or... horrible about your spending 😉

3/3

💰 Median is $1,842/mo: honestly lower than I expected

🌏 SE Asia ranges from $830 to $4,900+ within the same region. "Just move to Asia" is not a budget hack

🤖 Some founders now spend more on AI subscriptions now than on food

2/3

I made a tool to explore how much founders around the world spend per month 💸

It's interactive and will continue to expand the more people share it here.

For now it is founders-only. I tried to quickly glance at people's X bio so it might not be perfect.

Here's what I learned so far:

big exciting news for Juicy!

i just can't say too much yet but all i can say is you have no idea how much fun it is to work on this project

what started as mini side project to scratch my own itch of getting good battery alerts & stats on my Mac seems to slowly turn into a real small business 👀

happy to hear! yeah lots of projects fail!

vietnamese salt coffee (ca phe muoi) is hands down THE best milk-based coffee I have ever tried.

it's more like a dessert than coffee and you def can't drink this every day cause otherwise you end up with diabetes type c (c stands for coffee)

this shit is like pure crack (not that I know)

Howdy, partner!

Your MacBook dying without warning? Not on the Sheriff's watch.

With Juicy, nothing dies quietly. 🔫

Get battery alerts you'll actually notice: customized your way. 🌵

man I love South East Asia so much

this is Hoi An, Vietnam

endless lush rice fields

No better feeling than seeing your tool rank #1 on ChatGPT.

Juicy for the world 🧃✌️

If Mac apps had a full-page ad in an '80s magazine 👀

If you have developed a mobile app but it's not on your home screen you NGMI.

Can't have one without the other!

You better learn how to embrace both sides, otherwise it will be a rough ride.

4/4

– bookkeeping, keeping record of individual deals, answering the same question over and over to the same customer...

The list goes on.

Don't get me wrong, I love what I'm doing but I also sometimes... hate it.

Running a successful business truly adheres to Yin Yang.

3/4

– or sending them invoice details for the third time because they didn't read your messages on how to do it themselves

– explaining users how the price came to be that they have been paying for years (it's usually because of taxes)

– fixing tiny but time-expensive bugs

2/4

Everyone makes running a SaaS as it's something extremely glorified and always fun.

To be really honest, it's not.

Nobody tells you that you spend a good chunk of your time doing ultra boring but necessary tasks such as:

– manually changing a user's email address

And that’s how you can (very likely not) get a free coffee.

She says “Yes, yes you did”. At this point I’m contemplating if I might have serious Alzheimer's and should leave the coffee shop to go and see a doctor.

The barista smiles at me, clearly noticing my confusion, and then points at the sticker at the back of my laptop.

A few years ago I was sitting in a Lisbon coffee shop and suddenly a cool barista approaches me, puts an americano on my table and says “here you go”.

I, completely baffled go like “ahm wut? I didn’t order any coffee”.

How to get free coffee as a developer 101

Do you see the little sticker on the right side of my laptop saying “If you are reading this bring coffee”?

Well, that’s… that’s the hack.

We just arrived in Venice, I look over to my girlfriend and suddenly see her crying.

She cried because it’s the most beautiful thing she has ever seen 😳

Hard to deny.

oh shoot my two new Juicy employees are fighting with each other 🙀

anyone knows what they might be fighting over?

I'm (trying) to record a video about myself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Publishing soon (hopefully).

The camera button on the new iPhones is pretty useless so I turned it into a fidgeting tool 😌

The UI got inspired by how Apple does the Face ID onboarding.

revamping the Juicy onboarding screens because my quality assurance guys, Fluffy and Capri, told me “meow” which I roughly translate to the UX needs to be a bit smoother 💪

Adding this badge on the getjuicy.app landing page felt good™️ ngl, fr fr, on god!
