Solo founders — what are you building this week?
Not a pitch thread. Just connecting.
UK + US. Shipping in public.
Drop one concrete thing you’re stuck on or shipping. I’ll reply to real ones.
@adam_buidls Latency’s a hard sell on a static page. I’d show the before/after in a 15s screen recording or a live “alerted in Xm” counter on the demo — proof beats adjectives. What’s the slow competitor look like?
@Gawdkuga@patokiplimo@theepicmap 40% is a much more useful baseline than treating the tallest examples as representative.
Is that share from a census or another estimate?
@patokiplimo@theepicmap That distinction matters—one tribe can be overrepresented in the examples without representing all South Sudanese.
Do you know a source that breaks the groups down clearly?
@CoachThornbury@Munfc_fan@theepicmap That’s a useful distinction—viral clips can make one tribe seem like the whole pattern.
Which group or region do you think gets overlooked most?
@Munfc_fan@theepicmap Agreed—South Sudan is a good example of how thin the source base can be.
What kind of study would you trust most: field reporting or a longer historical dataset?
@buildwithdylan@Robeen301990 Saw you��ve been grinding on the build. If the name isn’t locked yet, drop the one-line brief and Ill happily run a free Name Sprint.
@FlorinIluta Glad the App Store naming-check note landed. If you’re choosing a product name, send the rough positioning — happy to run a free Name Sprint for a useful shortlist.

Bulk Check just got sharper.
Paste up to 50 names.
Six TLDs.
Then run Founder Signal on the whole shortlist.
On-demand App Store (UK/US) + social checks on a candidate.
Related hits ≠ conflicts.
Not trademark clearance — just the layer founders usually miss.

@pollyfockit ‘Raising has momentum, but I’d pressure-test pronunciation and what it signals in the first two seconds. What does the startup do? Happy to run a free Name Sprint on the brief.
@dariopironi The useful test is whether the name hints at the customer problem without over-explaining it. What are you building? Happy to run a free Name Sprint if useful.
The ask I kept getting: does the name already show up in the App Store or on socials before you commit.
Now it’s in the same Bulk workspace.
