Hey 🏗️,
My sales dashboards are up and running, and I’m now ingesting my email, calendar, trials, intent surveys, and interactions so I have a clearer picture of my funnel. Tomorrow, I start contacting the 92 trialing leads who are ready to subscribe to CareNote. #buildinpublic

So I'm capturing leads from all sources (web, email, phone, trials, sms) feeding them into dashboards to move them through my sales funnel to see if I can convert them into paying customers. First step: collecting and aggregating the data. Next step: taking action based on that data. #buildinpublic

Hey 🏗️, I’m learning so much this morning now that my lead, intent survey, and interactions dashboards are up. I found a prospect who started a trial with their personal email and then emailed me today from their church email—I would have missed that it was the same person. #buildinpublic

I’m so excited, my internal CRM is coming together. I now have a central place for my emails, calendar, texts, demo recordings, so I can ensure I’m following up with potential trial teams. My daily dashboard now guides me on who to call, who to send a follow-up to, and more. 🙌🏾 #buildinpublic

Hey 🏗️,
Up early handling sales emails before work and building out my internal CRM to help me close more teams. I need to shift from building to sales to convert more of my funnel. Next up is connecting my email to my CRM to track interactions and flag those awaiting a response.

Hey 🏗️,
I figured out how to handle my trialing users. I have a flow now: a 14-day trial, a 21-day reactivation nudge, at 45 days the account is deleted if they haven’t subscribed. I just built the dashboards to help me manage all of this. Today, three teams reactivated their trials. #buildinpublic

Hey 🏗️,
I just manually sent 175 individual emails to customers who started a trial but didn’t convert and didn’t delete their trial account, even after linking their church management systems.
If all of them subscribed, I’d meet my financial goals with CareNote. #buildinpublic

Hey 🏗️, I have to remember that when Git operations on GitHub don’t work, it’s usually an outage, not that someone has hacked into my account and deleted my repository. I must remember this. 😂 #buildinpublic

Hey 🏗️,
I just shipped the coolest feature I’ve ever built in CareNote. I can finish a pastoral visit, walk to my car, text my report to the system. No login, no app, no dashboard—just a text message & it’s logged + shared with my team. Feels like magic. #buildinpublic

Hey 🏗️,
After the emotional setback of my first, and hopefully last, refund request from an early sponsor, I woke up to an email from a new customer who’s onboarding and eager to share CareNote with colleagues in sister churches. The ups and downs of building a SaaS. #buildinpublic

Hey 🏗️,
Bittersweet day: a large church signed up, but one of my earliest CareNote sponsors cancelled and asked for a refund––a first for me.
But I also shipped SMS care-request acceptance and email-to-CareNote forwarding, features I’ve long dreamt about but never had time to build. #buildinpublic

Hey 🏗️,
I'm really enjoying working on CareNote. Almost every day I meet new people who are caring for their communities. I’m so grateful to come alongside folks who serve others. Had great conversations yesterday and today — it feels like a community is forming around CareNote. #buildinpublic

AAPS wouldn’t allow this as it would impact parents from dropping off their kids on their way.
Instead AAPS has designed drivelines at every new school they are building.

Cities are developing a new approach to developing housing: Integrating it into mixed-use library projects. These investments improve neighborhood vitality, add housing & improve services.

The coffee shop I’m working at doesn’t use labels for their drinks, they write what it is on the bottom of the cup. Then they quietly announce what the drink is & move on the next order, so people constantly interrupt asking, "What drink is this?" When it’s busy like this morning, it’s a nightmare.

Hey 🏗️,
Wild day on the new customer acquisition front—12 new churches reached out today! Four created accounts and started trials today, I had two demos, and three phone calls. I usually see ~30 trials a month, so 12 new leads in a single day feels significant. #buildinpublic
