you already have a pretty solid list
I also used to purchase also from
CDKeys, G2A and Kinguin. But it was a long time ago
chuckled ;d
it seems to be different between desktop and mobile
it's so cool to see you here, Dom 💖
that's a great idea! ill give it a go, thank you, Nika 🤗
How do you find new people to engage with?
On X I have pretty well established circle of people who are active and I like to engage with
Here I find a bit hard to find people who regularly post
how do the taxes in your country work tho? Even if you have business in a different country, most likely you will have to pay some income tax in the country you physically reside
is it officially Estonia gov portal or your business to help people?
I heard Estonia has something called e-Residency and they've been quite forward-thinking regarding running a business digitally
But I don't know the details tho
it's an annual hackathon at MIT that focuses specifically on XR and experiential technology

haha thank you, that was the idea :d
It was a physical-virtual companion, like a "well-being twin," that reflects your environment and habits

Last month saw a dip in Google traffic, but then this happened over just four days
#buildinpublic
right now the biggest source is LinkedIn, ~70% and then google
the subject line is always pretty much the same
e.g.
"XR Jobs Board #19 – names of companies featured"
I think the main driver is the "value". Each newsletter is packed with new jobs and resources.
Sent once a week, nothing else. This is what they subscribed for and that's what they are getting
Last month was a record high for XR Jobs Board
– 29.6k page views
– 8.43k unique visitors
– Over 1,400 email subscribers
– 71% newsletter open rate
progress in ~3 months
#buildinpublic
what do you think about the first episode? :D
will do for sure
Recent progress on the SEO update

It’s been a while since I’ve had so much fun!
Thanks, everyone! 💖
I’m looking forward to keep

5. Experimented with video and content
I also stepped out of my comfort zone to share some of my journey more publicly
It started as an exploration of different media—video, writing, picture—but it turned into another great way to meet other cool folks
4. Started “Design Futures” - Discord Community
I wanted a space to connect with friends and like-minded people about XR, design, AI, and all other related.
Today, it has almost 400 members

3. Created an XR Design Learning Roadmap
I built a Notion guide to help others get into XR design—resources I wish I had started out
I didn’t expect much from it, but 600+ people have found it useful, with some even tipping $30—despite it being free

2. Organized XR Design Meetups in NYC and London
When I first visited NYC last year, I didn’t know anyone, so I started XR meetups as an excuse to meet people
Now Luma page has almost 250 subscribers and I made many great friends

1. Built XR Jobs Board
I launched my first digital product with 0 coding experience, learning as I went with AI.
In 4 months:
– 1,400 users
– 28k+ pageviews/month
– Made my first revenue
www.xrjobsboard.com
2024 has been my explorer phase where I got to try different things and see what I like and don’t
I’ve learned that you can truly build anything you want. It's wild
