Noah's a fun person to follow for those of you who are interested in indie businesses and are on Twitter[0] He's been sharing his MRR growth and learnings while building Potion for awhile now.

@noahbragg - Given that you're built 100% on top of Notion (or at least I think you are), how are you thinking about platform risk long term? They could cut you off their APIs, end life for some undocumented API you rely on, or just build your features into their own product at any point.

Thanks Andy! Yeah there is definitely some platform risk. I'm trying to build a close relationship with Notion which can help a bit. But at the end of the day there is still risk building on a platform. As soon as I can I'll try to be using the official api which will take away some risk. But it's not quite ready yet.
