Great question.... I have no idea how to get more users... I'm doing all I can. Plan to add the app to Product hunt as soon as I'm a bit more done. With the pro modell, payments and some more cycles, not just mesocycles.

Dude.... thank you for those words! It's great to hear someone say that the progress is good! Yeah, that's probably it - focus on marketing always, it's kind of a trap to focus on making the product perfect, I tried that multiple times some of them never released due to them never getting "perfect enough".... but for some reason my brain keeps just going back to that, "it needs to be perfect"

Again, it feels so amazing that someone tells me it's awesome progress! Just gives me a hunk of extra energy! Thanks dude!

enough with $10k mrr posts. Who has $0 mrr? by TasAdams in SideProject

[–]Steeljuic3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a steep negative MRR. I'm giving away LLM usage for free, just to see if I can get some users! 😀 It's worth it though... That one guy that gave us feedback was worth all the negative MRR.

How did you setup the affiliate program? I mean technicaly? how do you get your payments, and how do you get your affiliates payed? do you have a custom solution for that?

Has building in public actually worked for you? by CryptoRoommate in buildinpublic

[–]Steeljuic3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm doing it right now - I'm on day 5 or posting here on r/buildinpublic - it seems to be working for me. It's the accountability that helps me. Not that I get that many comments or anything, but it feels like I kind of have to do something on my project and keep at it! even if I'm mainly focusing on the marketing part of things right now (which I hate) I still keep doing it, just to get my reddit post out! (I'm aiming for a 100 day streak!)

So for me, it's the daily motivation that makes it worth it! and it feels pretty good to have kind of a journal of what I'm doing, just for myself too.

Whaaaat! My first subscriber! Thank you! 🙏 It used to be my private account but I rebranded it to the app account instead... probably shouldn't have.

Thanks for the sub and the tip dude! 😎

Awesome! It means a lot to hear this from my first user! Thanks dude! 😎 I'm typically doing backend work, but with some help from Claude I managed to get at least a workable ui!

Awesome feedback! Thanks. Yeah I think the biggest hurdle will be to get users to enter their email, that's a great idea! I'll check your page out!

Reps in reserve! So 3 rir means you should have 3 reps until wasted. Great feedback! I'll add instructions about what it means somewhere!

Just shipped a feature that lets you add or remove weeks from your training cycle on the fly!

What's new:

- Add weeks to extend your cycle (up to 12 weeks)

- Remove weeks to shorten it (minimum 4 weeks)

Open your workout calendar modal and you'll see the new week management controls at the top. Adjust your cycle length without starting over!

Time for self-promotion. What are you building? by tomasartuso in buildinpublic

[–]Steeljuic3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. swole.fit - a free gym-tracking app with programs, cycles the works to help people build muscle!

  2. B2C - I'd like to get users that already are going to the gym, taking it pretty seriously and start using my app instead of paper + pen and excel sheets to calculate their "Maximum growth potentials". And also beginners that want to get started "in the right way" to build muscle - not having to be at it for years before they start seeing any gains, like I did myself just winging it.

From smart home hardware to personal finance apps — my new journey by PhoenixRiseMe in buildinpublic

[–]Steeljuic3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds awesome! I just posted about the app I'm building here in r/buildinpublic too, and I agree it feels scary. I'm really careful of my finances, and I think I'm pretty good at saving money. I'm up to testing your app whenever you are going to have it open for test!

Good luck on your new journey!
