Wrapped up the @tinylaunch launch earlier this week, and PokedexChecklist.com finished 2nd / 108 launches with 36 upvotes! 🎉

Way better than my Product Hunt launch, which barely moved

I genuinely think it's useless to launch on PH 🤔, TinyLaunch feels closer to the #buildinpublic community ❤️
My @cursor_ai year in review boils down to 462M tokens used, aka 3.2M tokens per 1$ made 😅

How many tokens did you use per $1 earned this year?

This silly mistake cost me $165 which is more than the total revenue of globeflix.app 😬

I assumed RapidAPI would auto-upgrade my plan when I hit the limit.

But you guessed it: it didn’t.

So I got charged per request instead. But thankfully support gave me a sympathy refund! 😁 #buildinpublic
Oops 🤦‍♂️ I added monitoring on GlobeFlix.app yesterday night, but I picked the default 3-min frequency instead of daily. Went to bed, woke up to GlobeFlix blowing past API limits overnight.

Small price to pay for load testing, I guess? 😅

PokedexChecklist.com just crossed 1.2k organic Google searches and ranks #1 for most target searches 🎉

SEO finally paying off

On to monetisation next! #buildinpublic
December 18, 2025 at 11:30 AM
Why it's been quiet on this corner of the internet:

📈 End-of-year work push
⏳ Limited time to build
🏃‍♂️ Final race of the year

From Saturday onward, I’ll finally have proper time to focus on PokedexChecklist.com monetisation and kicking off a new product 🚀 #buildinpublic

Yesterday (typical Sunday):

⏰ 6:30am wake up (2h deep 1h30 REM)
🍌 Making banana bread
🏊‍♂️ Endurance 3000m pool swim
🏎️ Lunch at sports bar for F1 season finale
🎮 Unwind at home, play video games with gf
🛠️ Worked on a new feature for PokedexChecklist.com

It's been hard to progress on my projects lately:

💼 Increased responsibility and deadlines at work
🎓 Delivered a guest lecture at Cambridge University on Agentic AI

Despite this, I analysed analytics for PokedexChecklist.com for next steps and have 3 directory concepts to explore #buildinpublic

Didn't post last week (not ideal) due to:
👨‍👩‍👧 Family visiting
🎂 Birthday weekend
🕒 Long work hours
🏃‍♂️ Brutal training week (+50km running)
🎓 Prepping slides for a Cambridge guest lecture on Agentic AI

Now planning next steps for my apps + 2 new product ideas brewing 💡 #buildinpublic

Guys, PokedexChecklist.com went from 20 organic clicks on Oct 25 to 200 this week 🤯 Between this jump and the top 2 on tinylaunch 🥈 it's been a great week!

Now it's time to crunch the analytics numbers and see if it's truly worth going deeper with premium features #buildinpublic

I'm trying to market PokedexChecklist.com on Reddit

I know that's exactly where my users are! The part I'm struggling with is reaching them without getting banned from those key subreddits

What tools or services would you recommend? 🤔🛠️ #buildinpublic
November 10, 2025 at 3:15 PM
Final 24h of my @tinylaunch launch!

Pokedex Checklist is back up to # 2, chasing that # 1 spot 👀

I would love your support in the final push 🤝 You can show your support by upvoting here 👉 https://www.tinylaunch.com/launch/6690

Sometimes I feel like building in public only truly works if you're building a product for other builders. Otherwise, you're sharing with an audience that can't use your product.

Do you think it is it still worth investing the energy to build in public, or is it better to build in quietly?
November 7, 2025 at 5:30 PM
My git graph isn't filled every day, and that's ok. It's what it realistically looks like when you also have a job, life, and other responsibilities like most builders.

Some gaps. Some good weeks. But still shipping 🚀

Just showing up still puts you ahead of 99% of people 💪 #buildinpublic

Month 1 of investing in a tool that lets me be consisted with building in public. What changed? I stopped winging it

Here are results after 1 month:
✅ 99 posts! 💪
✅ +10% followers 🚀
✅ 10k impressions 👀
✅ 586 likes ❤️

It's crazy what consistency and clarity can do! 🤯 #buildinpublic

Live now on TinyLaunch! 👉 https://www.tinylaunch.com/launch/6690

Currently # 4... just one spot away from top 3. Let’s go 🚀

Fast forward to 1 month later: DR 0 -> 8 with 24 backlinks and 2 launches done on PH for PokedexChecklist.com. Not bad for a month's work! Still validating the MVP, will share analytics soon!

Next check-in in 1 month: DR 15+ ? 📈

Got 10 upvotes on yesterday's PH launch of PokedexChecklist (vs 44 on GlobeFlix). A bit quieter this time! 😅 Some friends' votes didn't count (bummer) but at least I'm getting a dofollow backlink!

Launching on TinyLaunch next, already got 11 points and in 2nd place 🚀

#buildinpublic
November 3, 2025 at 4:22 PM
Am I doing something wrong with my PH launch? 🤔 I can see the 11th with 79 upvotes, while the 12th has 14. I saw the exact same cliff last time, how do they rack up so many upvotes early?

Does any one have any tips to beat this cliff? I feel like the best I can achieve is 12th 😔

DR has been slowly climbing post-SEO tweaks and backlinks submissions.

Launching on PH next week! 🚀
