#102Yes, so many and I got invited to pitch at NY tech meetup (twice) and got into Techstars with companies I hacked together with tools. It's a really great way to test an idea quickly and iterate without much funding. Be warned, at a certain point it gets tricky to scale and data transfer can be a nightmare esp if you have complex payments, so take the time you need with that. You can build an MVP of almost anything with squarespace + typeform. My go-to tools for building a startup over-night are squarespace commerce, typeform, calendly, zoom, google spreadsheets, mailchimp, fullstory, google analytics, intercom. With squarespace, don't change the design templates too much or it starts to look ugly. Typeform just added advanced logic so you can really do a lot with it. Here are some no-code projects I built with these tools. They are at the point right now where we've got thousands of users with no code, but we need developers to take them to the next level. Here are examples https://www.masteryhour.org/ , https://www.modulo.app/, http://schoolclosures.org/ (served 100k families so far) and a new one I'm especially proud of with a ton of advanced logic built in. It's very much a work in progress but pretty intelligent given it's just a form https://modulolearning.typeform.com/to/VBJmkLTu

#103I hacked together this spreadsheet to help me better visualize my investments in a different manner: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tBrZEMFK9XNWxiqOxE8o... Been contemplating whether to leverage no-code tools to help level-up the functionality and visualizations Would appreciate any pointers as appropriate. Thanks.
I have a similar 'VC-style' portfolio.
that's cool - do you write about it anywhere?

You can do powerbi and a dashboard or probably similar in google spreadsheets I'd figure with external data source. You should also include a general net worth, daily net gain, weekly net gain on 7 day lag, and monthly/quarterly to see how you're really doing. Just the number and a basic chart can do so much more to clear it up. Etsy and BTC, congrats, same here too. What I did was create a general dashboard, of my d…
Congrats to you as well!
I'll look into powerbi - thanks for the suggestion.
It sounds like you're using it to track your budget & net worth.
I actually disagree with tracking my investments this granularly. Just because we can, doesn't mean we should. I find it's better to zoom out when it comes to investing and let time & compounding work for me. If it was granular to the day, I think I'd drive myself crazy! :)
