Freedom isn’t quitting things.
It’s choosing them on purpose.
If a 9 to 5 funds your runway, keep it.
If Netflix resets your brain, enjoy it.
Design your inputs.
Mute the noise.
Measure by energy and honesty.
Live with intent.
That’s the real work.
I had to fire myself as 'Marketing Manager' for Suggesto. No time!
My strategy is now 80% Automation (emails, scheduled tweets, etc.) and 20% High-Impact Content (these threads!).
Automation > Grind, especially solo. What's the biggest automation that saved your week?
⚡ Frontend Micro-Optimization
I set the Vercel Edge cache with a TTL (Time To Live) of only 60 seconds for public boards.
Though aggressive, it ensures vote counts are near real-time without overloading the DB. Balancing speed and data freshness.
What's your preferred cache TTL?
🔍 5-Minute SEO Audit.
I've identified 3 high-purchase intent keywords (as per my SEO plan):
- "Feedback widget low cost"
- "Supabase feedback tool"
- "Install feedback snippet."
Which "niche" keywords drive your organic traffic?
🔥 Solo Founder Burnout Check-in. Launch week was exhilarating, but I can't ignore the exhaustion
As a solo founder, my energy is my biggest asset.
Today is a slow day, focused on planning. Mental health is as essential as code.
How do you recharge your batteries after a release?
The fastest growth loop I know: build, show, listen, repeat.
I shipped one tiny feature and got 2 useful DMs in 30 minutes.
What micro-change got you unexpected feedback this week?
4/4 (CTA): What is one "nice-to-have" feature that Suggesto must have in 6 months to compete with the big players and make you a long-term user?
3/4 (The Commitment): These features will be built with the same focus on simplicity and performance. I will not introduce bloat.
2/4 (V2 Features): The 3 big ones I'm prioritizing for V2:
- Webhooks (Instant Slack/Discord Notifications)
- Custom Domain (Host your public board at feedback.yourdomain.com)
- Widget Customization (Beyond color: font, placement, etc.)
1/4 (The Goal): Suggesto.io is no longer an MVP. My goal is to become the most recommended, dev-friendly feedback tool, eliminating reasons to choose competitors.
Suggesto.io V2: The 6-Month Vision (The Features That Compete) 👇
I've seen strong growth in active users and Pro customers.
Key insight: Willingness to share raw metrics (even small ones) drives community support & engagement far more than any paid ad.
Advice for a new solo founder starting a 7-day transparency challenge?
One screenshot; a 15‑second product demo.
I’m testing image‑to‑video ads for faster indie launches; native clips are winning on X.
What feature would you show in 15 seconds?
Reply with your one‑liner and I’ll share my favorite micro‑demo. 🚀
Pricing Test Transparency: I'm analyzing Free Tier conversion.
Some bought before the limit.
Others bought after hitting the limit.
If I raised the one-time price to $29.99 tomorrow, how would it affect your decision to buy Suggesto? Be 100% honest!
🛡️ I often get asked, "Will Suggesto.io break my CSS?" The answer is NO.
The widget renders inside an isolated Shadow DOM tree.
My styles can't leak out, and your styles can't break my UI.
What other UI/UX conflict should I test the Suggesto widget for?
Speed is a feature.
Small deploys, tight feedback, fewer regrets.
I’ll take momentum over polish every day.
The Free Tier limits boards to 50 feedback items. This isn't just a paywall—I designed it as a feature.
It forces you to review and act on feedback before it piles up. Quality over quantity.
If you're on the Free Tier, does the limit force you to be a better listener?
3/3 (CTA): This internal bug hack is available in the Free Tier. How would your team use a Suggesto board internally? Share your creative idea!
