just took a deep dive into stylus and all I can say is… wow.
absolute game changer and excited to bring awareness to both web3 and non-web3 developers.
who’s experimenting with stylus already? 👀

any bootstrapped founders here? 👋🏽
would love to connect and knowledge transfer where possible.
little bit about us (/syntax):
we’ve been building an evm-specific development shop for the last 2.5 years.
here’s some wins/struggles:
win: we started with $0. we’ve been profitable 9/10 quarters.
struggle: as a founder, i’ve had to defer my salary multiple times. cash flow management is hard. we’ve had clients miss payments or not pay us at all.
win: we’ve worked with some very reputable companies such as @storyprotocol, @0xproject, & more.
struggle: most companies won’t want to work with you at first. every opportunity won should be used to leverage another opportunity.
win: we won our first opportunity using a new cold outreach strategy a few weeks ago.
struggle: it took us MONTHS to get this right. a lot of A/B testing and A LOT of rejection.
TLDR:
- don’t compare yourself to other founders
- build on top of wins + learn from the struggles
- literally just don’t quit
