Pixeria, my app for photographers, is getting closer to launch every day.
If you're a photographer drowning in client emails and revision chaos, this one's for you.
More soon. 👀

How many bookmarks do you have right now?
I just checked mine: 487.
I can find maybe 10% of them when I actually need them.
The rest? A digital graveyard.
Anyone else sitting on hundreds of bookmarks they'll never look at again?
Lately I have a deficit in coming up with solutions. I need to tire my brain ;)
What problems do you have? What pains you every day? What annoys you that you would gladly improve?
the fastest path to learning ai doesn't need a book, a course, or a 6h youtube playlist.
it needs 30 minutes and one browser tab.
thread on how to actually start, no theory ↓
18 months ago i opened the chat and didn't know what to ask.
i looked for youtube videos, tutorials, the next course. everything felt safer than actually typing to the model.
safe. and that's why none of it taught me anything.
30 days of using is a different category of knowledge than 30h of reading. not interchangeable.
the sooner you start, the sooner it compounds.
start today. not sunday.
You obviously think your idea needs more time.
That's why you keep refining instead of shipping.
The problem is, every founder thinks that too [also me].
And most of them are wrong.
Usually including us.
When describing a feature it's usually better to show behavior rather than capability. Say what it does rather than what it is.
Not because it sounds more useful, but simply because it's easier to understand.
Too many solo founders stall 1-3 years in because they picked the wrong first project or gave up too soon on one that was working.
I have switched focus more times than I can count. But here is the truth: your next win starts with finishing what is in front of you.
Your current project is your proof of work. Treat it like it is.
The more you ship, the more credibility you build.
If you want to grow, start by making something people actually use. No one will take your next idea seriously if your last one is half-built and abandoned.
Learn the gaps. Find builders ahead of you.
Execution opens doors. Be so consistent, they have no choice but to notice.
"If it matters to you, you will find a way" is a rule every solo founder should live by. If you want to ship, you will.
If you want to find time, you will. If you want to make it work, you will figure it out.
It is really that simple.
How often do you see this plan?
Stage 1 - Pick one idea
Stage 2 - Validate it fast
Stage 3 - Ship an MVP
Stage 4 - Get your first user
Stage 5 - Iterate on feedback
Stage 6 - Tighten your stack (BookSync, Notion, whatever works)
Stage 7 - Find a monetization path
Stage 8 - Hit $500 MRR
Stage 9 - Repeat what works
Stage 10 - Build in public and keep shipping 🏆
I'm on stage 3.5 :D
I am not the same developer I was 2-3 years ago, and I'm not even the same builder I was 6 months ago. The way I think about shipping, focus, and what actually matters has shifted, and for that I am grateful.
What has changed for you recently? Do you see a difference in how it works?
Whatever you build, just make sure you ship.
If you don't ship, your journey no go inspire.
If you don't ship, your advice go sound like tutorial noise.
If you don't ship, dem go skip your thread before they finish.
My brother, ship ship ship ....
I read today that Communities will disappear within a few weeks.
Are you afraid of that?
At first I was scared, but then it occurred to me that most people here are seeking attention in Communities.
Their content is generated by AI.
Every day it's the same posts that add nothing and are not motivating, and sometimes even demotivating to take action.
What do you think? For now I'm waiting to see what the future brings.
At least one out of every five solo founders you know has never shipped a single thing publicly. They talk about ideas constantly, never build anything.
Are you building in the open? Have you met one?
What did you do?
