Working on the next app on the train to Paris! 🇫🇷

A sale almost every 4 hours like clockwork since my Black Friday started Amazing the patience people can have to wait for a deal!

I made an app that converts almost any file locally. It supports 3,985 document, video, image and audio file conversions. And it's a one time purchase on sale for Black Friday! 48 others have snapped up the deal so far!

Never underestimate the power of word of mouth! One thing that really surprised me was this: whenever I email my existing customers with updates, I see a spike in sales almost immediately. And here’s the interesting part… #buildinpublic #marketing

Being able to “work” while I have a single origin coffee and pastry in a foreign country (the UK) is my dream. And I’m living it. Start that side project and even if it’s moderately successful, it’ll change your life!

I built an app that converts almost any file locally. Sound engineers: it just got long awaited PAF and SD2 audio file support. Bringing the # supported conversions from 3,969 -> 3,985 (the most supported file conversions out of any app out there)

I made a site to generate photomosaics with your pictures

Taking the startup (my laptop) to the UK for a bit!

Pictiler is now ranking on Google!

We're launching again!

I made an app to make photomosaics Drag in your images or choose from stock , click generate and you’ll see your image form out of the others It’s completely private (everything happens in your web browser) and lets you make cool mosaics like these PicTiler.com

Claude code: "this should take 1.5 - 2 weeks" Me: "do it now."

I made an app that converts almost any file locally. Just crossed my 1800th user! Videos below are when I launched vs now

I just added clicks to my file converter app demo. How much better is it?

Simple idea: Convert any file, locally. No uploads. No privacy issues. Just fast local conversions in a desktop app.

If you're seeing this, it's because there's a global cloudflare outage. It's taken down airports, uber, chatgpt and even the login system of my little app.

How do I make my Black Friday sale page slightly less depressing? Non-serious answers only.

I built a local file converter so I’d never have to upload files to shady sites again. Now it supports 3,969 file conversions and runs on Mac, Windows & Linux. And it’s 30% off for Black Friday!

One lesson from building many side projects? Double down on your winners and bail on your losers as early as possible #buildinpublic #sideproject

Adding SD2 and Paris Audio Format this week. That'll bring How to Convert’s total to over 4,000 supported file conversions!

Your company policy: "Don't upload client files to third-party servers." Every free online converter: A third-party server. So I built one that runs 100% locally on your computer. No uploads. No cloud. No policy violations.

At the start of the year, I had less than $1,000 in the bank. I was desperately searching for work and building this app on the side. Today that app made $4,000 in a single day!

I made an app that converts almost any file locally. And it just had its best day of sales ever!

Just read this article about my file converter app! Thanks for the amazing review and spotlight! It's brought in a surge of new audio engineer users, so I will be adding even more audio conversions to the app in the coming weeks.

Noticed a big spike in sales today. Seems to be thanks to a recent article featuring my file converter app, How to Convert. Really appreciate the spotlight and support! www.production-expert.com/production-...

I made $5,387 in October $5,326 from How to Convert $61 from Pictiler $0 from my last failed project 🙈 $0 from the project before that 🤷‍♂️ Don’t give up. That next project could be the one that changes everything. Building apps and websites is one of the best decisions I've ever made. #buildinpublic

Not all projects work out. Sometimes you've got to take them around the barn and put them out of their misery

A damn good feeling

The emotions of a week as an indie developer

Feel like team rocket
