To people who are under the impression that you can get rich quickly by working on an app, here are the stats for https://t.co/az8F12pf02
๐ ~12000 vistis
โ๏ธ 109 transactions
๐ฐ 353โฌ profit (285 after tax)
I have spent 1.5 months on this app. You can make more $ in 2 days.
๐คทโโ๏ธ
I'm still happy that I launched a paid app bcs it involved extra work:
- backend for processing payments (+ permissions, webhooks, etc)
- integration with payment processor
- UI for license activation in Electron
- machine activation limit
- autoupdates
- mailgun emails
etc.
These things seemed super scary at first. I always thought it was way too much work and something would break. But I'm glad I persisted. So far the only problem I have is that mailgun is not delivering the license keys to certain domains like https://t.co/6Bqn0FUYXo etc. ๐
omg I just realized that me . com is an Apple domain, of course something wouldn't work with these dicks

Make a simple, helpful product.
๐ @gvrizzo
Making the stylish @threader_app looking for maximum integration with Twitter (it might even become part of Twitter one day...)
Raise the bar for quality, look for seamless integrations.
๐ @marie_dm_ + @yesnoornext

A small engaged community is enough.

Courtesy of @edbrisson's wonderful thread on breaking into comics โ https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj โ here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.
There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.
You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.
But โ there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus โ a Product Manager makes Products.
And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.
They find their own way.
