I just got my first user ever for my social productivity app through posting reels/tiktoks!! 😁

Don’t you hate it when you have a great idea and then forget to write it down? Me too. What’s the best app for quick note taking?

I’m building my first app and I have no clue how to launch. Any tips?

Just saw a tweet about the dopamine hit from gaining likes and followers. I wouldn’t know I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I feel lost everyday but the one thing that’s been my light house is touching grass. No really. Nature is rad. Go outside and breathe.

How do you remove distractions? My phone is by far my biggest one.

Doing it for the money vs Doing it because you truly care Assume you can barely pay rent and have a little left over for food. You’re pretty much a starving artist. Which direction would you pursue?

Who do you guys think are killing it at creator-led marketing?

I’m so excited to finally start building an app I’m passionate about!

Do you ever feel like you have too many ideas and can't pick a single idea to focus on? I'm struggling and would love to discuss!

GPT-5 is absolutely TERRIBLE at coding! Has anyone gotten good code out of it?

I hate coding. Let me explain, I love logic and solving logical problems. I don’t like writing main(): or setting up my Github. This is why I think vibe coding is the future. Logical thinking trumps writing tedious code.

Why did you download X again? I last used Twitter 10 years ago but I never saw the need to use it again. Until now. I realized that if founders are on X, then I need to be on X too. What else do founders do?
