Spent some time automating feedback requests on pigmentsketch.com

Wrote about my research for an email marketing software here: karankrishnani.com/blog/chosing...

I relate, I just tried it out yesterday. I asked it to generate a web scraping script in python and it went in circles with 4 or 5 different approaches before it gave up.

I went back to my free Codeium extension in VS Code and get it done in 30 minutes. Glad to see AI is not taking my job yet! 😛

Engineering tasks are certainly becoming easier and easier!

Indie hackers have junior developers in AI assistants and can focus more on product/design and marketing 💪

In that case you definitely need to over engineer 😉

It's a good way to collect their emails so you can ask for feedback and learn where to go next with product.

At the least you can add social or magic link with supabase or clerk. Assuming you are on JS/TS tech stack.

Console A dashboard to manage your SST apps.

On my recent project it's been console.sst.dev. It has a better UI than AWS cloudwatch.

I must admit it's probably not the best for heavy usage. I'm also curious about any open source tools that might be easy to set up for new projects.

I'm trying out the Clarity Custom User IDs on PigmentSketch.com

This will allow me to track users across devices and browsers.

I have been experimenting with Clarity funnels and smart events.

I don't suspect the speed is impacted too much. My core web vitals are doing well.

Did that work? What was the response?

Not looking to buy. But I am curious because I heard about your journey from time to time on the SFTROU pod.

Does it have any users?

I am focused on SEO as well. Would like to try paid ads and email outreach next

Which marketing channels are you focusing on?

Currently roughly

20% building (design + code)
40% marketing
40% fractional consulting work

This is a nice comparison and inspires me to focus on bsky.

Exactly what I thought when I saw this 😂

What's the best way to track users through my sign up and buying journey? I use GA4, Clarity and Stripe. #buildinpublic

Next, I want to study the conversions. Which customers signed up for the free account? Of those which ones paid?

Got my first sale on Pigment Sketch! It's a small amount but it's inspiring 😊

Thanks I've read the SEO 101 course on their blog. Great content!

Nice breakdown. It gives a goal to work towards. Of course the hardest part is creating winning blog posts.

For someone still learning SEO are there any YouTube accounts you recommend?

Hey Michelle we haven't met but I have listened to your podcast and read Deploy Empathy. I really appreciate them in my journey 💗
