I’ve posted 10 “building in public”Instagram reels now, follow me if u wanna keep up with the short form vids 🫶 @jedcal

[@MeetKevon]

Love all this building in public content!

[@Peter2013M]

pls post more

[@hsien2179]

This dude finally remembered his KZbin password

[@mathmagician155]

About time

[@AlexMcDaniels]

Lmao

[@theofficelab]

I'm a simple man. I see a new Jed video, I click.

[@harryaliasg8680]

Finally 🙌 I was about to start charging rent for the space he left in my subscription feed! But on a serious note, I totally understand him trying to move back to 'KZbin as a hobby' mode. Feeling the pressure to constantly produce videos is probably no fun and is the reason many KZbinrs quit in the long term.

jeds gym progress is actually crazy ‼️

[@ColtKirwan]

[@Creativeworld-123fs]

Yes Jed, Selling is always an option... With that number of users, you can find pormising buyers with promising offers

[@juliafei]

[@clairelee8915]

here from ig! congratulations jed, this video is already motivating me to work harder on my own dreams

[@290revolver290]

This video making 30K in less than a day means a lot of us truly missed Jed.

[@EcomCarl]

Securing that first sponsor is a huge milestone! 🎉 It's a testament to your hard work and the value your platform offers. Keep leveraging your niche audience and pitching with that same determination for more sponsorships in the future.

[@marcellodellabartola3494]

This thing makes you so proud about your new job

[@Jason_lai]

always a good day when Jed remembers he has a KZbin channel 😂

[@simonebianchi7933]

thats the problem of the vlog form: you should have an interesting life to do it, if your life is vlogging than you start struggling for making content, and that sucks. wish you the best jed, you will find me here even with a video every 3 months. bless

[@evegurlz]

Can’t tell you how many times your video has inspired me Currently on the same path of doing so many things, but do not know what the future holds for all of them lol Well, always rooting for you and everything you do go Jed! Excited for your future ❤

[@ethanfinn-d6w]

Ping pong master

[@KillerTacos54]

Proud of you mate

[@nocodepiper2097]

you should automate the process of sending cold emails as you have a good use case now

[@Hiba-live-laugh-love]

I love how we watched the startup grow from day one 💗💗 congrats jedcal you're such an inspiration.

[@SwitchLite-23]

seeing how raw you are running rate my dorm! You're busy and life happens and tend to stop working on it but working on it when you get a chance! great stuff!

[@saajidabdeen629]

[@kidyoshi007]

DUDE ITS ALWYS A GOOD DAY TO HEAR ABOUT RATE MY DORM. I WANT YOU TALKING ABOUT IT NON-STOP. HONESTLY THE BEST START UP. YOU GOT THIS JED

[@ALBonfils]

we need rule of thirds accessories

[@monc81]

So proud of my nephew/godson Jed!! Keep up the good work!! 💚

[@rooftoparugula5679]

The ads are too big. I think having be the first thing you see when you open the webpage makes the website look tacky and distracting

[@bartsimpson2324]

dafaq, those ads are toooooooooo big

[@rayarazali]

i like u jed. im 25 now & this video truly inspired me to start on my personal projects. thank u!! 🤸🏻⭐️

[@shanannigames]

rate my dorm is literally one of the smartest things ever can’t believe it hadn’t been done yet.

[@axbouf3443]

"I have decided i like it wider" - Jed 3:03

[@bykaiotomo]

Been inspired by your style but it’s hard to get it down…. And the fact that you edit this in a few hours is crazy!

[@niladrisaha5441]

This will really motivate many software devs who think they cannot do a side hustle along with their current work. Great work @jedcal

[@AwomKenneth]

wishing you success!

[@LifewithSeanBrown]

That’s good news man! Congrats! Keep up the good work 👏🏽

[@sarahywu]

love watching your updates, please keep them coming - has inspired me to diversify my income streams as well

[@robert.sevcik]

Your videography is incredible and your editing too man great inspiration!

[@codeWithJonathan-JS]

finally brother! happy for you! i hope we will get more coding videos from now on

[@saurabhdaswant7833]

bro keep sharing whenever i watch your videos i have that smile and recently i've also started youtube and instagram keeping in mind that i'll share my journey as a developer building his own small saas super happy for you man!! keep growing! love

[@ALBonfils]

Love the new lens btw

[@iMuyanCODM]

Keep grinding

[@aligu7]

the qwuality of this video is insane

[@james_andrew]

Switch. You have the right idea. Choose SaaS. Build an MVP of something, and sell it, see if people actually want it dont shove it down their throats. Selling is tough for engineers, including myself, but if you want to grow you need to be good at both, sales and engineering.

[@NishadBirje]

ping pong master!

[@johnhenrichdelapena2218]

Yoh! Vercel Gang 🥳

[@bulej93]

happy for you!

[@matts9728]

The site is a good idea and most of it looks really clean. But just a heads up, that banner ad is pretty clunky, I could see that turning people away. Might be a good idea to keep working on how to integrate sponsorships for a more seamless look.

[@AlexMcDaniels]

Love your videos Jed, please keep making it...

[@brianruizy]

Building in public 🔥

[@daniilartamonov28]

I see u as Eliot always forgot ur KZbin password…

[@ygee]

also have a hard time picking between being a software engineer, artist, or author. can we choose three? 😆

[@Wepiss]

pls can you hire me, i have been a fan for the longest and would love to work on scaling your startup to something bigger

[@darkhorse99900]

Great job Jed, really enjoying seeing the progress of your application.

[@akbarsiddiq931]

This is what I've been waiting for

[@Skydreww]

Congrats on your first sponsor 🎉

[@francienregelinkauthor]

So happy for you. And never feel pressured to post. Because when you post it is always a masterpiece! Because you create with fun and style.

[@lukeharkin7192]

bros actually quite strong in the gym

[@yourvolly]

Another awesome video man! Jed, not gonna lie, the gym transformation has become really crazy, I remember the video back when you first started taking it more seriously. Congratulations on this awesome achievement, can't wait for more!! :)

[@ThoughtsofGarrick]

Jed, you're such an inspiration to me. Your fashion sense, your body physique, how good of a developer you are, your video production skills, entrepreneurial mindset So much to be inspired by 🤩🥂

[@starrio713]

Cool, Jed. Wish I have more inspiring ppl around me, reallty motivates me

[@appleaday3635]

Dude congratulations!! Don't know if you control the ad placement or style but it might look better as a banner that goes all the way across the screen.

[@jedcal]

Thanks for this idea! I agree

[@fariidzaman]

Hey buddy, (btw Indian viewer) I think you should upload more on KZbin as to grow your channel (as far as monetization is concerned) cuz you've have a lot of potential as a content creator, and yea once ratemydorm starts booming selling it would be great to get the most out of it.

[@katevardone]

So proud of you, Jediii👊🏻

[@turnerrussell152]
