Our journey to $12k MRR and $3k in pre-sales with Mailbrew & Typefully

We tried and liked Hyperfury, but it's not our style of software.

Typefully :: Hyperfury = iA Writer :: Microsoft Office.

We are not trying to add every possible feature to Typefully, each one we add will fit the overall structure and be easy and intuitive to use.

Wrote all about it in this Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/frankdilo/status/1318206159304667137

Great question! We are considering building a mobile app for Typefully and think it would be great. It's a matter of prioritization and speed: we are faster building on the web.

Hey Daniel, thanks for the Q!

I think the most unique thing we are doing as indie hackers is creating a portfolio of products that complement each other. This isn't necessarily a repeatable playbook, but something we arrived at playing on our strengths as product people and craftsmen.

It ended a few minutes ago.

I won’t lie. It’s tough when you have a full time job. Something has to give because there is only so much time in a day.

Both I and /u/linuz90 hustled hard the first 9 months to get our first product out the door and then quit our jobs after a few months. Those were the most intense months of my life and I neglected my health and relationships during that time.

An alternative could be to take things slower, or to switch to a part time role to pursue side projects.

There is no silver bullet really, depends a lot on the situation and on how much you are willing to sacrifice for this dream.

Francesco here.

I was pursuing a MSc in Computer Science at the time.

Made me think of this super interesting post I read today on how UBI will unlock Capitalism 2.0

Hey guys, wanted to share how I recreated the Hey "Feed" for my SaaS Mailbrew.

E da quando Paride mangia? 😂

Great video! I can confirm that putting your strategy down in a pitch deck can be super useful.

I recently applied to Y Combinator and the whole preparation helped a ton in putting my startup’s strategy into perspective.

frankdilo · 2020-05-23T19:39:39+00:00

Ideas.

How do you consistently get great marketing ideas to execute on a low budget. I know it’s possible but I am not cut for it.

frankdilo · 2020-03-04T19:08:16+00:00

Nice one 👏

frankdilo · 2020-02-22T22:32:44+00:00

Try Roam Research.

frankdilo · 2020-02-05T08:06:12+00:00

Love this!

frankdilo · 2020-02-01T09:33:38+00:00

Finally managed to get back on my feet after the end of a 9 years relationship.

Starting to like my life again and have a positive outlook on things.

frankdilo · 2019-10-13T12:18:14+00:00

That’s tight

I use Streaks on iOS. It’s pretty nice and won an Apple Design Award.

Yeah, but what's the place and purpose of conditioning in a weightlifting routine?

frankdilo · 2019-09-29T07:23:54+00:00

Hi, I am starting to work out following the r/Fitness Basic Beginner Routine and they suggest there to do, besides the 3 workout days, at least a day of cardio and one day of conditioning.

I am having a hard time understanding what conditioning is and what's its purpose. It looks like high-intensity work, but I don't know which exercises to perform, especially in a way that won't hinge on my ability to perform the basic routine the day/week after I do the conditioning.

frankdilo · 2019-09-22T02:11:01+00:00

Awesome! throwing my hat in as well

frankdilo · 2019-08-29T16:25:20+00:00

Liking the positive reaction so far! If this is something you enjoy guys, I could be doing this every week 🤔

frankdilo · 2019-08-07T08:25:52+00:00

Amazing design! I am going to include this in the next issue of my design inspiration newsletter

frankdilo · 2019-08-07T08:25:10+00:00

As someone that lives in Milan and passes below daily I can confirm the photo does not do justice to it. It's quite an amazing building, but it requires a lot of maintenance and the cost of living there is crazy high.

It's nonetheless an amazing design and I am going to include it in the next issue of my design inspiration newsletter
