What'd I miss?

👋 Hey PH! I built Compass b/c I needed a way to combine my "What" with my "Why"; one where I could plan my week but also ensure that my schedule reflected my values. After 3 months of prototyping and talking to users, I made a huge mistake: >> I focused on making a calendar << I spent so much time building the features we all expect from a calendar that I didn't innovate...

Awesome description here, concise but thought-provoking. Excited to check it out

Decision to open source the app after 2 years

Just me (though I'm not trying to compete for product of the day)

I, begrudgingly

Home usually, with sprinkles of coworking spaces when I need a little motivation

Would also love to connect with other open sourcers. Open-sourcing my weekly planner soon after 2 years of dev. Always looking for OSS lessons learned. https://www.compasscalendar.com

Both great, but I feel like the community on IH is more consistent. I find myself only coming here when I'm close to launching sth 😅 I'm guessing others are probably doing the same, which makes it feel a little more transactional here

I like the Loom/Quicktime approach because it's quick. But I'd also recommend editing it, because most people will drop off quickly if it's not snappy or engaging

Vimcal (although they're a few years old now)

+1 for Startup (biased because that's where I started. But happy with how much I learned)

All my non-biz favorites are creator channels. Current favorite is Cody Ko

My favorite is social media listening, because it eliminates the risk that they're just telling me what I want to hear. Seeing their language is helpful for writing copy, too. Although instead of traditional social media (eg following a hashtag on Twitter), I prefer a private community where I can search on a specific topic (eg Discord, Might Networks)

Getting out to work around others at a coworking space or coffeeshop. I post in local Meetup groups ahead of time so other WFH-ers can meet me there. Always good vibes

I've used Wix a lot, and customizing it is intimidating. I'm sure their Velo product works, but it seems like too much work
