This how my days have looked for the past 2 years: 6am - alarm goes off - eat, catch up on messages and get in the car 7am - gym 8am - home, shower 8:30am - take my son to school 9am - start client work 12pm - lunch and NoSho (brand name changed) 1pm - back to client work 3:20pm - pick up my son 4pm - last hr of client work 5-7pm - dinner and play 7-8pm - sons bedtime 8pm until late - continue on business How does yours play out?

I’ve learnt a lot of the last 9 months as I’ve been speaking with people across the globe understanding how NoSho is being used to help their business, want they need and what features to build next…

I’ve now reached a point where I’m building something bigger and this means it’s time to reshape and rebrand - NoSho has evolved and it’s going to be better than ever.

It’s been 9 months since I launched and honestly, it’s hard. X is full of ‘I making $thousands per month from my product’ and hats off to them if it’s true, but the reality is it’s so hard.

I think I should dedicate a little more time to X as I grow my SaaS while working full time and being a father of a 4 yr old 🫠

Yesterday my product launch hit #3 on Product Hunt, which was totally unexpected. I have spent the last year creating NoSho.app and to finally launch and get such a great response was phenomenal. Thank you to everyone who reached out to me across various platforms, liked and commented on my post to show your support. I built this for hairdressers, lash, nails, brow techs, PTs, photographers, tutors, trade and every service business that either loses money to cancellations and no-shows or just needs a better to promote their availability. nosho.app

First business onboarded and they have made 8 bookings in their first week on nosho.app 🤩 That’s validation.

Today I was met with the toughest client of my career...

He demanded triangles in very specific colors and sizes, and each attempt was met with a critique. After multiple revisions, a lot of finger-drawing demonstrations, and a lot of tears we managed to get the ‘big medium’ one he wanted.

Unfortunately the payment was only going to be in the form of exposure, and this client was my three-year-old son 😅

Larger and solo companies launch on the weekdays, yet products launched on the weekend get 15% more “Visit” button clicks. @ProductHunt – that's a lot more clicks #launchroulette 😅

Has anyone had a successful launch on @ProductHunt? Do you have any insights which could help me with my launch?

I found a pain point and built a product to help all businesses get their last-minute availability booked. I hope you love it and enjoy using it, I’ve loved making it and can’t wait to see where it goes @NoSho_app
