I agree to the dark art part, but fun? I dunno...

The scheduler that runs the SkySurge feed-updates died earlier today. We are back up running. In addition, this is now included in the health endpoint to alert the monitoring, should it happen again.

☝️ shipped and (slowly) getting traction.

Hey algorithms 👋

Show this to indie makers who vibe with authentic builders sharing their journey,

not the growth hackers selling courses on day 1.

Comment if you're shipping stuff and want to connect with other indie makers building in public!

If you have a few clicks to spare, we could use a few upvotes on www.tinylaunch.com/launch/10468. Cheers!

OAuth for the win.

New signups. Usually zero :(

Exactly how this app started. What are you building?

Congrats @mariofraioli.com. What an honor! 😀

A little Easter present: here's a code for a lifetime free Starter tier on skysurge.app. First come, first served.

Rinse and repeat. "If you build it, they will come". Unless they don't know that you built it.

Same, $0 MRR. We be patient.

Currently switching the landing page to Astro as well. I'm curious what that will do to my numbers.

I love that transparency; thanks for sharing!

Tried it. It certainly didn't work for me.

SkySurge — Grow Your Bluesky Audience organically SkySurge helps you execute the $1.80 engagement strategy on Bluesky. Discover posts by hashtag, like and reply in one click, and track your daily growth.

We're out of closed beta. SkySurge is open to everyone.

No waitlist. No email signup. Just log in with your Bluesky account and go.

Free tier forever. Paid plans if you want more hashtags and analytics.

Go leave your two cents: www.skysurge.app

I had it explain the $1.80 strategy like I'm a 5yo, it is amazing! "[...] It's like saying hi to 90 different people at recess - some might become your friends! You pick topics you care about, find posts about them, and leave nice comments". I should put that on the landing page 😉

So, if you were to look at the landing page of this app (https://www.skysurge.app would you understand the change I bring? Or just the product?

Welcome back! #buildinpublic is my favorite hashtag to track in @skysurge.app, shortly followed by the "For you" feed. It makes Bluesky really pleasant.

How do you differentiate this from Voice Messages in most messenger apps (apart from the obvious, which is "skins")?

Where does the magic number "90" come from?

I feel you.

Oh, this is really well done, I love the option to go from 5 year old to expert with a couple of clicks!

Wait, what? Why?

We are live on TinyLaunch! Leave some love and upvotes for @skysurge.app 😘

Well, not at 6 months yet, and luckily more than zero users. MRR? That's a different story.

I hope to earn at some point. Currently $0 MRR.

Curious what those two ideas will turn into... keep us posted!

And if anyone else is thinking, 'I should probably engage more on Bluesky but it's a grind,' that's precisely what SkySurge fixes. (Link in bio)

But here's the thing: I'm trying to validate if this is worth continuing to build. My goal was 10 people interested enough to join the waitlist.
@chrisshennan.bsky.social since you're actively using it, is it actually helping? Would love your honest take.
