@Hrtktwt Nice meeting you too! Let's grow together ..!

One thing I've realized after building in public:

Shipping the product isn't the hard part.

Showing up every single day is.

You wake up.
Build.
Post.
Reply.
Repeat.
Most people quit long before their product gets a chance.
I'm trying not to be one of them.

@nxhaaa19 Building gives you endless content.
Most people just don't realize the small moments are worth sharing

@alwayspriyesh Congrats 👏
Consistency is underrated until it starts compounding.

[Hitendra | Building Rixx @Hitendraa_]

@supabase Long enough that I realized the prompt wasn't the problem 😅

[Hitendra | Building Rixx @Hitendraa_]

@lenatron33 Consistency beats trying to sound perfect.

[Hitendra | Building Rixx @Hitendraa_]

@sridharfyi Staying consistent. Everything else compounds if you keep showing up.

[Hitendra | Building Rixx @Hitendraa_]

@MartinGTobias Verifiable AI answers people trust.

@TTrimoreau How lonely the first few months can feel when nobody cares what you're building.

[Hitendra | Building Rixx @Hitendraa_]

@useinvestorsgo @RoxanaLimban Rixx typically evaluates 50+ sources for a query but only cites the ones that directly contribute to the answer.
Source highlighting is also in the works, so you'll be able to hover over a citation and see exactly which part of the response came from that source.

@alex_lrz_nmv Got my first paid customer from Product Hunt.
Reddit brought a lot of free users too, but Product Hunt converted better.

@TheSpacerr Would love that. Let's connect..!

[Hitendra | Building Rixx @Hitendraa_]

@NicholasDulait Rooting for you!

[Hitendra | Building Rixx @Hitendraa_]

@Guronnimo Sure! https://t.co/P1Ys71JySN

[Hitendra | Building Rixx @Hitendraa_]

@RoxanaLimban Appreciate it! 🙌

[Hitendra | Building Rixx @Hitendraa_]

@veeraj_ Glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. 😄

[Hitendra | Building Rixx @Hitendraa_]

@GJarrosson There's definitely pressure to tell the biggest possible story.
I think the founders who survive long-term are the ones who can sell a big vision while staying honest about where they actually are today.

@christophersaum Not raising right now, but building an AI-native research product. Spending most of my time talking to users and improving trust rather than adding more AI features.
