#24hrsstartup was an amazing event

I never went to a hackathon but this just felt like one even though I was just watching \U0001f440
Everyone did great but there were a few startups that I personally loved \U0001f496
Some of my favorites are in the thread below\U0001f447
Lots of variety: web, bots, extensions and even native apps
eg. @jordibruin with DrawRun

Congrats Bruno for being the first #24hrstartup to monetization so far! (that I know of) https://t.co/pmTBXG0hbz
Here's what @hugo__df used to search for the maximum number of signups to be announced
Looks like 4 x ๐ฏ(400)
https://t.co/txT8Oio2zW
โ๏ธ 400 people signed up
๐ฉโ๐ป 167 people streamed
๐ซ 94 products launched
In other words
๐โโ๏ธ 42% showed up (50+% no-show)
๐ข of those 56% shipped
๐ค overall 23% converted from signup -> ship
That's amazing!

We worked really hard behind the scenes to make no show rates as low as we could!

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
I wish I had this... โ don't excuse yourself. Forget about what you can't and focus on what you can.
Stop comparing yourself to others, come from the point of what you have, know and have: "I can... so I will do..!" #MyMindset
BTW this was an update of one of the previous tweets. And I'm continuing this thread today!
Focus only on positive things! These include what *you* have, know and can do. If you don't have, know or cannot do something either get it or ignore it. Don't think about it and don't use it as an excuse.

I've been struggling to follow this principle for a long time. #MyMindset pic.twitter.com/SK5vtwHs3G
Do something for the long-term. Everything else is a distraction. ๐ Nowadays I always check if the thing I'm doing aligns with my long-term plans. If not โ that is probably not the best thing to do at the moment. #MyMindset
The only way to get more done is to have less to do. Eliminate your obligations, say "no" to things that are not important, stay minimal in what you do, focus. Being busy is not equal to getting things done. #MyMindset
