something that bothers me about startups/products that end up getting sold is what happens to the users after. that product is gone because it is now part of sth else and the users are left with nothing.
While I’m employed (on contract) how can those of us with work support you, if you don’t have work? I’m not as good with nebulous requests in my personal life, but I want to help. I’m down to do a portfolio review or listen. Don’t go through a hard time alone if you can help it.
Been working on a new freelance project this week. Lead gen tool for 1-3 person indie startups with the goal of helping them build the ICP for their product and find leads. Clients have been loving it so far. It's been great for my mental health.

It may be too late in the day for Linkedin angst but I'm bored and since I didn't sleep last night I've been awake for idk a million hours

Hurricane Beryl hit Houston early Monday morning and knocked out the power for almost 3 million people. I was without power for 12 hours. Most people still don't have power in their homes and we got a heat advisory (102F) immediately after the hurricane passed. It's bad here.
I'm building out the presentation (in Figma Slides) for my video next week so I had to go and dig into my archives for old photos from my first startup.
