Wrapping up April with numbers we've never seen before!
First time crossing 4k trial signups and 1k new paid subscribers in a single month. 🎉
Still no growth hacks, just organic growth doing its magic. Thanks for showing us love. 🫶
Omg, #Mistral released Mistral Medium 3.5 yesterday, and it's so good! Already fully switched to it as my main model. Some benchmarks apparently suggest it's comparable to Sonnet 4.5. Let's support #European tech! 🇫🇷🇪🇺

I recently joined Ramen Club - an online community for #startup founders, and it's already been super helpful! I feel a lot more confident in what I'm doing with RecordRanks now, and it's helped me stay on the right track. Can really recommend it for aspiring entrepreneurs!
Got my first two customers for my #sports organization and ranking software RecordRanks 🥳 Both are growing sports communities that were looking for a tool that could streamline the organization process. Exciting times!
Added @plausible #analytics 🇪🇪 to https://recordranks.com. Always exciting to use #European #tech for my projects! Plus, Plausible is better for #privacy 😎
Made a video about my year-long experience of rewriting the entire backend of RecordRanks and the lessons I learned from it:
I have gotten quite fed up with #NextJS and I say this as a long-time zealot. There are so many ways to do very basic things like data fetching, data preloading, mutations, etc., and no well-established patterns for all of that. In practice, it feels like a light wrapper around #React (despite all the bloat), and you end up having to add a whole bunch of other libraries just to cover your bases (next-safe-action, nuqs, server-only, #TanStack Query/SWR, etc.). (1/2)
I have taken the plunge and will spend the next few months trying to build RecordRanks into a proper service for #sports organization and rankings, and hopefully build a small #business around it. I've contemplated "doing my own thing" for a good while now, and it's finally time to give it a proper shot!
For now, I've set up a Ko-fi page for the open source project itself: https://ko-fi.com/mintydev
