99% of my customers buy straight from the website no questions asked.

I only get PO from larger companies, and I only do it if they’re buying a lot of seats, or if it’s a strategy customer

TIL

I shared with a couple of co-workers/friends and they all liked it, I then built a simple website with screenshots and a download button for free.

Then I started sharing the progress on LinkedIn/X, my co-workers shared on their network too which also helped.

After 4 months I put a price on it and sold it with a 50% discount for early adopters. A lot of people bought it, which to me was a signal that I was into something that could become bigger if I invested more time on it.

Dude this looks awesome! When I was a kid I used to read a lot of these "puzzle magazines", the ones we had were like:

- Start on page 1, read the story and decide if you want to take path A or B

- A = go to page 2, B = page 3

- then there was another decision making, and the story goes on...

Until you either escape the dungeon, or die (different ways of dying lol).

It was so cool!

This is really exciting news! 2 years ago I bet on Tauri to build Aptakube, instead of Electron, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made.

It was early days, very risky, but well worth it in the end.

Surprisingly, calling my app “not another Electron” app has been a great marketing strategy :-)

Migration from v1 to Tauri v2 was very smooth as it’s clear the team spent a lot of time on DX. Highly recommend for anyone looking to build desktop apps (can’t say anything about mobile tho, I have no experience).

As an indie developer I celebrate every small win and this comment made me start the day with extra energy. Thank YOU!

100% if you exclude Microsoft’s cloud? :-)

And then the fine would be proportionally much higher. No thanks, I use a MoR to sleep in peace. Also having a single revenue invoice for accounting makes things much easier
