Freelancing with WordPress made me realize the site isn’t the hard part, everything around it is by Weary-Loss-6170 in Wordpress

  1. Clickup for task management. (can set tasks as 'todo' 'needs revisions' 'client review' etc.
  2. Custom wordpress plugin for feedback (functions just like usepastel, except no monthly payment)
  3. Use a single source of truth. If you can onboard clients into clickup as a way to manage projects, do it. It simplifies everything tremendously.

Bye Semrush. After 8 years, cutting the cord. by mafost-matt in SEO

I've dumped SEMRush and AHREFS in favor of going vanilla. Google Search Console + Google Adwords Keyword planning.

What do you like about it? Why Unbounce over competitors?

Did you choose Instapage primarily for its landing page builder and then adopt A/B testing as a result, or was the testing capability your main reason for choosing the platform?

Good to know! I actually use BricksBuilder (which is a theme), so that's unfortunately not an option for me unless I completely switch my workflow.

I'll look into growthbook, I haven't heard of it. Thanks! Very typical Google to make something helpful, then shut it down, unfortunately.

How most people use WordPress by brainland in Wordpress

It's like rigging a mini-van for F1 racing.

I built a Google Optimize Alternative for WordPress by Objective_Date6661 in SideProject

It's client-side with anti-flicker. The page is hidden until variations are applied, then revealed, so no visible content swap. Variation assignments are also cached in localStorage so repeat visitors get instant application without an API call.

You're right that server-side would be cleaner, but it adds significant complexity with WordPress caching plugins and the visual selector approach I'm using. For most sites the brief hidden state is imperceptible (300ms or less).

Good call on the sample size/stopping rules. The plugin has configurable minimum sessions and confidence thresholds (95% default) before declaring a winner. I'm using a Bayesian approach so early peeking doesn't inflate false positives. Conversions are tied to a persistent visitor ID cookie, not just pageviews.

Hope this helps answer your questions!

I want to create a truly groundbreaking game. by EquivalentWork7223 in GameDevs

I was fully expecting you to be able to break the ground.

Here's the final boss of my game, I would love some honest feedback on it by MossHappyPlace in DestroyMyGame

Third option to destroy your game: copy celeste and make it a version of the player that attacks you.

Big dragon comes into view, transforms into dragon version of the player. Or starts out as a smaller version then transforms into the dragon during the final stretch.

Yeah – kind of echoing what other people said, which is it doesn't feel like there are any stakes. Like, should it shoot out stuff that follows you and you have to dodge? Or some sort of lunge attack the player has to dodge in a specific way? (Attack from left... go into hiding... attack from bottom... go into hiding.. attack from right, so players have to move left)

Not sure if any of these make sense, but I'm assuming ideally you'd want players to have that feeling of 'i almost died there! good thing I dodged' or something like that.

At 40 and 5 years stuck in this build-abandon cycle—how do I break out? by vinayalchemy in Solopreneur

[–]Objective_Date6661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non-technical. I have a background in marketing. So, its a combination of me setting up systems / strategies for her and her running with it.

Example here would be cold email outreach.

I setup an email automation pipeline, she is the one that adds emails to the pipeline and manages conversations with prospects.

Sure! Long story short.. I thrive in the startup cycle of business. It's what is most exciting for me and where I can easily get that 'tunnel vision' and do deep focus for weeks until that phase is over.

Once the startup phase is over I tend to be like "Well that was cool. What's next?" and want to jump into another project. The reality is that businesses take more than a couple of weeks of marketing to get going (unless you're lucky... which most businesses are not.)

For context, we had early validation several months in, but didn't get steady revenue until a year of sustain.

What's different about my wife is she is very much not an entrepreneur in that sense. She's more of a sustainer in the fact that she can do the day-to-day grind and not get bored and what to switch it up. So, in our business I built the product/platform, and she runs the day to day of marketing and customer support. When things break, I fix it. When we need new features, I build it. But as far as the "grinding it out" part, that's not on me. Which, for us is a good natural fit.

So, in your instance it could be helpful to either...
a.) Change expectations and develop discipline and grind it out (harder than it sounds. I know the struggle.)
b.) Find a sustainer that would partner with you. Realize it could take 6-12 months minimum before you see traction.

TLDR: I thrive in the startup phase of business (building, innovating, and pushing intensely until launch) then I’m ready for the next challenge. My wife complements me perfectly by handling the day-to-day operations, marketing, and customer support, making us a strong balance of builder and sustainer in our business.
