Last night I didn’t sleep well and today I felt tired and distracted. Still, I put in the hours and made good progress on Nummo. Discipline > motivation.

When your codebase gets complex enough, it can be hard to understand how everything works, even if your code is clean. Do you write internal docs to solve this?

You can build a tool that generates some side income part-time. But building a full product that people are willing to pay for requires a full-time commitment. Many people procrastinate, but serious products require lots of time and hard work.

I've just crossed $120+ in revenue and my product isn't even live. I pre-launched a landing page with a demo, got some early traction, and went back to building the full product. I wasn't expecting more presales before the full launch, but I was wrong.

X keeps showing me violent and adult content, and I haven't engaged with any of it in the past. This is becoming a hell hole.

I have the impression most people in here lie about their MRR just to get more engagement. What if we implemented cryptographic proofs of MRR numbers based on digital signatures?

I’ve been thinking for a few weeks how to authenticate the self-hosted version of Nummo. Nothing that I thought was good enough. Today, finally, I reached a convincing solution. Progress isn’t only about lines of code or sales. Progress sometimes comes in the form of clarity.

Today I spent 6h on "just adding auth" to my Go server. The reality is I built the entire backend foundation: - Authentication system - Database migrations - Clean architecture patterns - 271 lines across 11 files Sometimes "one simple task" requires many substasks.
