Q4 2024
Focus
Q4 was about closing the year strong and planting seeds for 2025. The Black Friday campaign was the commercial centerpiece. But the most exciting thing was starting work on 24q4-laputa-start — the personal knowledge management tool I'd been sketching in notebooks for years. The quarter also meant wrapping up the annual review process and reflecting on a transformative cycling season.
Highlights
- 24q4-black-friday-campaign drove 2,800 new subscribers in 10 days and converted 180 free readers to premium — best single campaign ever
- Built 24q4-sponsor-dashboard giving sponsors real-time access to their campaign metrics — reduced back-and-forth emails by ~70%
- Started 24q4-laputa-start: initial Tauri + React prototype, basic markdown reading, YAML frontmatter parsing — the MVP of the MVP
- Designed and documented 24q4-annual-review-process — a structured template for reviewing goals, projects, and metrics across the year
- Completed 24q4-cycling-year-review: 6,200 km ridden, two gran fondos, FTP up 12% year-over-year
- Newsletter crossed 50k subscribers in November — 2024-reach-50k-subscribers achieved
- measure-sponsorship-mrr closed the year at EUR 11.4k, more than doubling from January — 2024-double-revenue hit
- 2024-read-24-books finished with 26 books total — exceeded target
Reflections
Hitting 50k subscribers felt like a milestone that validated the whole year's strategy. When I started 2024 at 35k, doubling the growth rate felt ambitious. But the combination of pillar content, podcast reach, the Codemotion talk, and the Black Friday push all compounded. Each channel fed the others in ways I couldn't have predicted at the start of the year.
Starting Laputa was the sleeper highlight of Q4. I'd been frustrated with Obsidian's limitations for months — specifically around structured data, relationships between notes, and the inability to build custom views. So I started building my own tool. The early prototype was rough, but the moment I saw my own vault rendered in a four-panel layout I'd designed, something clicked. This could be more than a side project.
The sponsor dashboard was person-matteo-cellini's idea, and it was brilliant. Sponsors love transparency, and giving them self-serve access to metrics reduced our support burden dramatically. person-paco-furiani set up the automated reporting pipeline. Looking back at 2024 as a whole, every major goal was hit or exceeded. That doesn't happen often, and I don't take it for granted. Now the question is: how do we scale this in 2025 without burning out?
