Journey to Tiago's builder mind.

Hello, I’m trying to share my B2B experience with releaseview.com.I’m doing this a bit differently compared to my previous projects. It’s not something new; other products work in the same area, so I know the idea is validated. I didn’t go deep into development first. I just put up a landing page, added a waiting list, and started reaching out to people on LinkedIn to see if there’s any interest.At the beginning, that part was actually the hardest.

I think I’ve reached a bit of a dead end with Cozy Watch.

February started slow.

Yesterday I was reflecting on how Cozy Watch changed the way I build.

Hello All, We are in this fight, where failing has a huge impact on us. But how can we turn failure into something good?

If your strategy works, should you change it? For me no, if the strategy works, do the boring thing and don’t change it. Think of this like energy, focus your energy on what it matters. If whatever you are doing now, works, keep doing it. Of course don’t be lazy and expect it to work forever, What I mean is, while this particular thing works, do something that will improve your life too.

Momentum is important because the initial drag you feel will disappear. The hard part is to keep it rolling. For me,

Hello, What is price? It’s the number you put on something. What is value? It’s what the person gets out of it.

Hello, The difference is in the hardship one takes. Consistency is same thing different day, you do you routine. Persistency is doing it, even if you find hardship.

Hello, There’s nothing like being able to shut off. I am continuing today. All the best, Tiago

Hello, I care, but today I want to talk about nobody cares what you do, until you do something others can ge

Features should only be built when users ask for it. Why? Because if users ask for it, it means it’s important for them and other users too. If you build just because, you might not be addressing a real issue/ pain. I can give you my example with cozy watch. My initial approach with the menu bar was very very light, you would just see text and some green, red and yellow icons, meaning it was approved, rejected or commented on. For me, it was enough, after my initial 5 users, one suggested that the menu bar could be enhanced to more details, and game me an example of an existing app. I was blown away. First, because I didn’t know there were other apps there. I was new to this indie dev thing, I didn’t do any research, I just built it. So, after checking that other product I then started to check more competition and even found out that Linear had something embeded in their product.

Music isn’t just sound. It’s memory, mood, and time travel. A simple melody can bring you back, lift you up, or ground you in the moment.

Do you know what happens after sales? Customer feedback and requests. It’s great feeling because you know someone is using and

It’s hard. Unless you really like it, but what I am talking about it commiting to something new you

Today I’ve visited the Whale museum. Made me wonder, there’s always a bigger fish around us. Like us builders, if you made more than $0, you are bigger than

I’ve now came to the conclusion that i’ve spent more time on marketing than developing the app. I am not a pro on marketing or anything, but for sure this whole experience made me thing and do things differently. I had a goal for november, to sell $100 worth of cozy watch. And I was able to and we are only on 22nd of November. It feels good to reach a

TLDRStress isn’t always bad. There’s an optimal level that pushes us to grow and shine, like carbon turning into diamonds. Handle it well, stay aware, and you’ll become stronger.
