I’m a penguin with a day job. Just got into big tech.
Building gexpense.app after hours. If my apps hit $12k MRR, I quit.
Current score:
- startups: $0 MRR
- salary: still winning
- layoffs: on my mind
Come checkout my receipt throwing mini game in the boring old footer (because why not 🤷♂️).
Any other 9–5 builders here?

Hey aussie solo founders, do you have an ABN?
Worth sorting out early, or did you wait until you had paying customers?
Has every possible SaaS already been made?
Anyone seen any new unique ideas 👀
Or are we just cloning the next X booster tracker automator
0 → 500 in a few weeks
A few weeks ago I had 0 followers and no idea who would care about this 🐧.
Turns out the void had 500 people in it (thats you guys hehe)
For anyone new here, I’m Pengwu (not my real name). I work a 9–5 and build side projects after work, trying to turn them into a business.
> My salary is still winning (i really want to quit, sad).
From now on to keep myself accountable, I will be sharing the journey midweek and Sunday: what shipped, what flopped, and what I learned.
Who else is doing the 9–5 + side project juggle?
Drop what you’re building. Let’s connect!
(i know i've many of these, but 500 is a good milestone to do another xD).
IS THE X ALGO BROKEN?
Has anyone noticed impressions are all over the place lately?
Sometimes it has reach, and sometimes its horrid.
I've even seen this for big accounts.
Maybe they're trynna punish all the AI bots but its impacting us also 🤔
My feed is full of product launch sites.
Do you guys ever go back after launching?
Or is everyone just dropping their app and leaving? 💀

I know we're all vibe coding nowadays
But would anyone be keen on a series explaining how to code, software design principles, algorithms etc from scratch? 🤣
Thought it might be a good way for me to keep my skills tbh.

If anyone in SF can get me a 1tb+ iPhone Duo on launch day, I’ll pay you $800 over MSRP and give you a shout out on X. DM’s are open
How many “builders” on X actually build?
Feels like there's a lot of LARPing going on.
More posts than commits 💀
Weeks of SEO work and one of my apps still has 0 clicks.
Its been a while since I shared progress for building in public lol.
Both apps are slowly growing in impressions though. Small wins i guess 🤷♂️
How is everyone else's SEO doing? Whats worked for you? And what hasnt?
