Defining the narratives that make products matter.

@Linnie269 Maybe you can make some posts on your growth strategy? Would be incredible to hear how you grew the app, that's an amazing feat! Is it paid or free?

[Javier Leal @ImJavierLeal]

@DavidRunsAds Did you start from a reference?

[Javier Leal @ImJavierLeal]

@VadimStrizheus Switching to 5.6 too. I hit my weekly limit within two days of light use.

@leo1yu @interaction ChatGPT has never been good at finding me parking. Guess I'll have to try this too.

[Javier Leal @ImJavierLeal]

@zaheerebtikar What about guest access? Limited? Paid?

[Javier Leal @ImJavierLeal]

Cold email, LinkedIn, industry events. But most importantly, a lot of it. While you're refining the process, you can reach out to 30 contacts and hear back from 1 if you're lucky.

If you're vibecoding apps, learn @figma! You can just change design elements without wasting prompts attempting to describe what you want. Takes less than 3 hours on YT to learn the basics.

@heshie Thought the same thing when I saw it, NYC subway ads are crazy. Saw another ad that was just a logo and "with Anthropic," and I have yet to understand what they do.

[Javier Leal @ImJavierLeal]

Best way to market a free app? Ideally compatible with low or no budget. Brand-owned UGC?

[Javier Leal @ImJavierLeal]

@semochkin_alex Not doing any highly advanced work that benefits from marginal improvement between competing models, so too inconvenient to switch for little benefit.

[Javier Leal @ImJavierLeal]

@semochkin_alex I don’t switch much, Codex gets the job done. They were very generous with limits early on and I just kept using it for coding. I do occasionally open up Claude for design-focused stuff though.

@krzychu7991 @andruyeung How much of that is the hotel? Going for 4 nights and best I found was $700 in Downtown Brooklyn.

[Javier Leal @ImJavierLeal]

@MrGoldBro Huge funding for defense startups right now. Over $7B just for drones, but US contracts are massive.

[Javier Leal @ImJavierLeal]

@thsottiaux Interestingly, it suggests better solutions when I express that it isn’t achieving what I envisioned. Also appears much more efficient? Tasks that ran for a while before now finish quite quickly.

[Javier Leal @ImJavierLeal]

@gabriel1 Spent years working on this in the hardware space and would be glad to chat. Sent you a DM

[Javier Leal @ImJavierLeal]

I’ve thought about this and what happens when AI can match needs to solutions without human involvement. We rely a lot on intuition and “feel” when making decisions, and relationships can push people to do irrational decisions. Someone might not get hired through traditional channels and still find a way into a company because someone liked them while talking at some event.

[Javier Leal @ImJavierLeal]

@semochkin_alex You should try driving it on a track if you get the chance. Incredible experience.

[Javier Leal @ImJavierLeal]

@TheSolSaverX @Nickprince Works best using plan for me. Goal will stop after its current task while plan will continue until it’s completed.

[Javier Leal @ImJavierLeal]

Anyone working on consumer hardware? My feed is full of software but want to hear what others are building in this space.

[Javier Leal @ImJavierLeal]

@SanthProject Guessing this is the $199/mo plan. Basically an AI assisted concierge at that point with a few competitors.
