It’s been a year since I left full-time employment to work for myself.

Here are some important things I realized since then.

Thread 👇
1. Uncertainty is very uncomfortable.

Even though I knew I was going to live off my savings for a while, I underestimated how tough it is to see losses accumulate month after month, and not knowing exactly when & how the losses will stop.
2. Redundancy makes uncertainty a lot less uncomfortable.

At first I thought it would be more efficient to focus on one thing at a time.

Now I prefer doing a few things in parallel. It’s less efficient, but there’s a lot of comfort in having multiple things going on.

Userbase is Ready!

After almost 9 months of preparation, Userbase is ready for use, and I would be honored to have you try it.

👉 userbase.com

It's the easiest way to add user accounts & persistence to your static site.
Special features:

- User data is end-to-end encrypted.

- Super-simple JavaScript SDK.

- Predictable pricing. You won't need a cost calculator.

- 100% open source, MIT licensed. You can self-host it, fork it, modify it, resell it, etc. It's yours!
You can see a full (but ugly) demo here. Take a look at "View Source". That's a stateful web-app in a single HTML file. And just 182 lines of code, including markup, comments, and whitespace:

I did a podcast w @moizali - founder of @native_cos. His story is bananas. Created & Sold a new deodorant brand $100M to P&G in 2.5 years and only raised ~$500k... my top 10 gems from the episode THREAD 👇
1/ “It was like taking an Advil every morning when all you needed was a glass of water”

Core insight = trend to natural/organic products, but popular deodorants used a ton of chemicals (aluminum etc).”
2/ they did A/B testing like a software co, except on physical products

Version A went to 1000 customers
Version B went to 1000 customers

Which version gets higher reviews and higher repeat purchase rate?

Personal 2019 highlight

🤗More like the processes on how I get into product/tech in the past 12 months

A (👇thread) on some of my work in:

- building products
- learning to code/no-code
- consulting services
- more recently working remotely in product career

read below:
1/ *Highlight 2019*

I started to learn Python & Django from books, documentation & YouTube videos.

I was interested in building web app. At that time, I was working on an idea "Portfolio Tracker"
2/ *Highlight 2019*

When I was still new at coding, I figured I could start building something using what I already know.

I launched my 1st project on Product Hunt -

Apple announced support for NFC stickers/tags that trigger Apple Pay for payment without having an app installed. Imagine tapping your phone on a scooter or a parking-meter and paying for it without signing up or downloading an app first. #ApplePay
Apple is working with Bird scooters, Bonobos, and PayByPhone (parking-meters) on the initial rollout. Also instant-enrollment for loyalty cards in Apple Wallet is coming. I’m sure we’ll hear more about this at #WWDC19. #ApplePay
These photos were taken by my excellent coworker @scott_harkey who was selected for the 2019 Forty Under 40 Class at Transact 2019 (same conference where the Apple announcement was made). #ApplePay levvel.io/blog/scott-har…

Woah, TikTok India ban looking more likely. Existing users can still access; Android users can DL from 3rd party app stores.

Big deal since Sensor Tower estimates 43% of Jan '19 new users were from India, up from 9.5% in Jan '18.

ByteDance continues chipping away at Tencent

h/t @mbrennanchina for sharing these awesome infographics from China!

Looks like Byte, Vine's spiritual successor, officially opened its beta to its first 100 users. TikTok seems to have filled the void left by Vine, and I wonder what Byte can realistically do gain meaningful traction?

1/ @usefyi launches on @ProductHunt today, producthunt.com/posts/fyi and here's more about the journey (and pivots) @MarieProkopets and I went through before we got to FYI.
2/ About two years ago, my co-founder @MarieProkopets and I got really interested in fundraising. We were talking about fundraising to companies all the time and giving them advice about how to raise money. I had more requests for fundraising conversations than ever before.
3/ We thought there must be a problem for us to solve in the fundraising market, so we dug in with research. A single tweet led to us interviewing 37 people, all of whom had serious challenges with fundraising We thought we had discovered a huge problem!

Ok, I want to build a simple product this week and launch it. I am thinking of a bot that pushes a commit to a stupid repository on GitHub everyday in order to make it green in the span of a year.
I have to find out first if it is possible to create through official APIs and whatnot. Let's see...
Ok so I had a look, it can be done. You can create a repo and create a commit programmatically through the official API. So far so good.
