iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

And I lied that everything is automated. My wife Liz is doing world-class customer support. She loves it. And thanks to her we have such happy customers and get regular enterprise deals. ❤️

But I lied. I didn't just work 4h/month. I worked much more, because I'm building the next product already. It's also B2B SaaS and already earned an additional $5k last month, but all of it is reinvested on a developer and a marketer.

Remote-controlled Countdown Timer | stagetimer.io

From the start I built stagetimer.io so it works without me. Everything is automated: Payments, User Accounts, Email Drip Campaign, Load Balancing SEO and Google Ads bring in customers. Users love the product and churn rate is only 1.5%.

I made $29,059 in February and worked exactly 4 hours. Not 4h/week. 4 hours during the entire month! This is the power of a SaaS product. Once the flywheel is spinning, it just keeps going.

Developers: I use two screens for coding! Meanwhile Rundown Studio users:

Not having anything to launch 😅

Wow! Amazing stuff man! Wish you all the best and please share pictures.

I would build a very simple solution (not specifically for Hospitals) with a free tier so it can be "Just a quick solution" that turns into a permanent one because the user experience is so easy.

Here's a $1M B2B niche: Digital signage solution for Hospital waiting rooms. They use this pitiful zoomed-in SAP screen, half the space is taken up by scaled up UI elements. (Ignore the baby seal)

I don't understand the motive behind these impersonations

Interesting. Did they just clone my posts?

I don't understand why you'd be arrogant as a tech founder. There's nothing to gain, is there?

Not extend, but purchase again when they have another event. We had people buy it over 10 times already.

There's a script to refresh it an redeploy

Growth before and after solving churn. It was very much worth it to fix churn in exchange for slower but more steady growth. I think this is part of building a good product 👌

And at Stagetimer the usage pattern is either yearly (using it over and over) or just one month for a single event, so we made it a 30-day one-off payment. Saves us a ton of headache from reimbursements of people who forgot to cancel.

Here's two successful examples (Leave me alone & Rundown Studio). The 10-day event price for $25 has been rather popular. I think anchoring it against the $600/y makes it look affordable.

Todo list growing faster than you can blink? 😂

This is quietly becoming a powerhouse! Do you support code highlighting? Can it connect to a GitHub repo? Can it keep a local folder as context, parse .gitignore and watch for changes? That would be very handy 😄

Lukas Hermann @lukashermann.dev · 03/02/2025

Do you know the password game? I'm tempted to build "The Timezone Game" 😂

Obviously at incorporation you have to distribute 100% of the shares. This is meant to help resolve conflict so everyone knows what they're actually entitles to at any one time.

This is so cool! A BTS of my tool Rundown Studio used in action at a wrestling event:

Access Google Docs with a personal Google account or Google Workspace account (for business use).

It has a virtual vesting structure which makes it very clear how much belongs to whom at any point. It also clarifies what happens on incorporation and it has a provision for when the project is "dead". Don't repeat my mistake. Here's the link, use it: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

In my first partnership one co-founder paid themselves a higher salary and claimed more equity, left all the work to me and another guy, then when the investment failed kicked out the other guy, left the country and let the cleanup work fall on my. So now I always sign this...

People think good product design is taking the question most people ask, And then answering it. But it really is taking one question and refining it so much, just like a jeweler cuts a diamond, until the answer is obvious!
