Thanks for sharing the story! I think you made the right decision here 🔥

[@mikestrives]

Thanks for the support, buddy! I think so too :) Keep on building is the best thing there is 💪

[@AmitKumar-sv3fm]

Great to see what's the thinking behind building a new version over updating the old (Flet like watching behind the scenes:)

[@alexandrudodon1]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥2.0 looks sooo goood!

[@mikestrives]

You know it, buddy!

[@viralitywhop]

came across your content and it's rlly good! how come it’s not getting even more traction

[@Newsgameryt777]

Awesome buddy ❤🎉

[@divyanshudn]

awesome, just a feedback, please remove the fisheye wide lens, its nauseating, will make videos much better to consume. All the best 🎉

[@mikestrives]

Thanks, I love the wide angle, but I guess you refer to me filming my screen with it, I can see how it's not ideal. Will film those scenes without the wide angle :)

Appreciate it 🙌

Can I ask a very weird question? What are the tax rates like in USA? Here in EU the tax is quite high, I assume we would end up giving 50% to government if we sold a business for high price. As a developer I respect that you are starting Upvoty with 2.0, a lot of companies ignore this step and later have to deal with tech debts.

[@mikestrives]

I'm from the EU as well, so yeah, near 50% when I sell as well 🥶

[@michals.2604]

Why not acquire a product in an adjacent space and upsell / bundle?

[@mikestrives]

Yeah a possibility 👌

[@thebarnowlsmusic]

is this your home office, or a co working space ?

[@mikestrives]

My office :)

[@danalorton2492]

glad you did not sell and keep on building in public :)

Nice hints on the board behind you : 😆 ‘I’m a PhD’ is like saying ‘I’m a millionaire’-on the internet, you can say whatever you want. It’s all about ‘fake it till you make it,’ or maybe ‘fake it till you burn out trying,’ or perhaps… you’ll actually make it!

[@mikestrives]

Haha good find but it's not actually what it stands for on the board. My wife drawn I 🩶 M on the board. Phd stands below that lol but good catch either way

[@joshthe10xengineer]

What framework/library was the old version of Upvoty built with?

[@mikestrives]

Custom code fully

Hi There, I recently came across your KZbin channel, and I enjoy the content you create! However, I noticed that your thumbnails, while good, could be more eye-catching to attract more viewers. Thumbnails are an important part of attention-grabbing, and I am skilled at creating designs that increase clicks and engagement. If you are interested, I can help you create more eye-catching thumbnails that really make your videos stand out. Looking forward to hearing from you!
