I have my own gym since covid-19. I was stuck at home and was used to go to the gym 3 times a week. I've been training there since.
Yeah I feel having a home gym is a pretty big trend now I think I got sick of going to the local gym because: 1) had to drive there 4 times per week 2) the racks/machines were often busy/used 3) then in middle of my workout a group class would start 4) then OnlyFans girl with inside ass shorts and neon blinking buttplug would walk around scouting for subscribers (true story and a bit distracting) 5) local gym had lots of drama with the owner allegedly not paying his staff and much more Now I just walk downstairs and I got my home gym, and personal trainers comes to our place, never busy, no distractions, no drama Bit less social though but for that we balance out organizing parties

There are days like this where I wish I had a co-founder. Had a hard time falling asleep last night, with a million thoughts in my head. I guess it's part of the journey, but today I'm doubting everything. #buildinpublic #solofounder

I use Claude for my personal projects and ChatGPT (Codex) at my main job. They feel very different but I like them both.
The seaon has changed and Claude Code is now cool again! I love what's cool and what's not keeps flipping every 6 months in AI, it's so fast

I love the current moment and hate it at the same time. I loved when I was solving problem and getting in the zone. But it's nice to get so much done that the momentum for any feature is infinite.
It's pencils down, people. Writing code by hand is no longer an economically viable skill for most programmers at most companies. But the future of making software has never been brighter. Don't you dare black pill this beautiful moment! youtu.be/vDjW_dRyKXY?si=6Fsf…

Show me what you are currently building! I will take a look and give you my first impression!

Congrats! Still working my way up to 100$ MRR but that's just part of the journey! Reading your book Make was very inspiring.
💰 Passed $10M/y in revenue + investment gains this year I've always been aggressively increasing my profit margins to as high as possible, especially the last few years, and especially this year where I've reduced my SaaS dependencies to just a handful of companies by vibecoding my own replacements It's now about 94.5% profit! Spend less -> lower costs -> more profit -> more money saved -> more money to invest -> more % returns on investments And at some point that investment return starts to pass by your business revenue which it has for me for about a year now Most of my investments have been simple ETFs like Vanguard S&P500, but also a few lucky stock and startup bets that worked out: Back in 2022, I couldn't get any available GPUs, so I thought it might be smart to buy Nvidia if there's such a shortage and that was a good bet too Then back in 2023 @dannypostma recommended me to invest in the companies we used for our AI inference for our photo AI apps, so I did that too. First I invested in @replicate and then also @FAL From then I just asked every app/service I used if I could invest, like @cursor_ai in 2025 which then got acquired by @spacex recently! My business revenue has remained very stable at about $200K-$250K/mo, but even with that investment returns have now surpassed that Investments fluctuate a lot so some years it's up some years it might be down a lot (who isn't expecting a big crash at some point?), and most investment gains are unrealized (I never sell!), so keep that with a big grain of salt! I keep my revenue/gains together with my profit margin and my sleep score in my situation monitor dashboard, as those are equally important :D Many people in the last decade told me to spend all my money, either personally or with my business to grow it, we don't know how that would have ended up, maybe my companies would be bigger, but I'm happy I did it in my own lean profitable healthy way and it ended up great I think! 🙏😊

I always liked the welcome message from @jasonfried in Basecamp so I did something similar in my app origano.app. It shows the human behind the software, and that I personally answer every support message.

The last 2 days were exhausting. I had to dig and understand taxes worldwide, chose between Stripe and Paddle, configure everything, adjust my app.. I'm completely drained. Days like this are very important for a builder like me, yet super hard.

I'm now offering an affiliate program for anyone who wants to mention or promote my app origano.app/en/. If you have a platform, a sizable following, or a subscriber base that could be a good fit for Origano's future users, reach out and I'll get you set up in no time!

It's a win-win: passive income on the side for you, and new users who are actually looking for a product like Origano for me. DM me!

Just installed Clarity yesterday. Didn't know this tool existed until 2 days ago. I always had users stuck at 0 recipes, lost forever and never knew why. I just saw a recording of one of them, fighting with my onboarding popup on a super small screen... (1/2)

Then it felt sooo evident and so stupid on my part. I've been testing mainly on my PC and with relatively big mobile screen. Now I can't wait after my day job to go and fix this ASAP. (2/2)

Putting the effort to do collaboration with other businesses is hard but I've seen the massive impact it can have on my little business. MRR is increasing and we are now profitable!

I'm looking for French speaking builders / solopreneurs from Canada to interview in my podcast "Mon Premier SaaS".

Can anybody from @trust_mrr or @marclou help me regain access to my profile in TrustMRR? It seems connecting with email/password and then with Google Auth overwrite my initial account and I lost access to my own startup page!

The solopreneur to-do list isn't a list, it's a treadmill. 🫠
