@jeiting ProfitPirate: missed opportunity!

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

OK after private DMs with a few folks deeply into inference, a nuance that got lost on me is this:

Hosting open models is pretty messy territory. There's model variants hosted, routing can (and does) happen to diff parameter sizes and quantization levels, and often as a customer you never know

With a closed model you also technically never know, but in practice they have a more optimized stack with less variance on eg latency and quality eg per customer

It's an area I'll look more into now

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

As engineering, product, design, DS, etc. melt into a new kind of role, I was reflecting on what roles might look like in the future. For example, when I look at the Claude Code team I see what I think is five archetypes:

1. Prototyper: comes up with brand new ideas; churns out many ideas, most of which don't ship
2. Builder: quickly turns a prototype/idea into production-grade product/infra
3. Sweeper: cleans up the UI, simplifies the code and system, unships, optimizes performance
4. Grower: takes a product that has been built and iterates on it to improve Product-Market Fit
5. Maintainer: owns a mature system to make it secure, reliable, fast, and efficient as it scales

Many people span across 2 roles, and sometimes 3 roles. I also notice that these roles are not really tied to job function -- eg. across Anthropic, some designers match category 1, some 2, some 3; same for engineers, PM, DS.

A healthy team needs a mix of these, depending on the product:

- A product that is new and pre-PMF needs people that are strong at 1+2+3
- A product that is growing and has found PMF needs 2+3+4 and some 5
- A product that has strong PMF needs 3+4+5 and some 2

Maybe product roles of the future will look more like this, and less like the domain-specific roles of today?

@jackfriks It’s healthy to live with constraints. It breeds innovation and motivation!

[terminally onλine εngineer @tekbog]

understanding every PM ive ever interacted with right now

what is bro cooking
we need to ship

[Dann Beauregard @dannbeau]

@discord @discord_support still no way for my account to be enabled. The appeal process requires you to be logged in but being disabled logs you out. Ive sent email and now reaching out here for help.

[Dann Beauregard @dannbeau]

@jackfriks @postbridge_ Now that’s a good selling point for @postbridge_ ! Getting the urge to buy!!

[Dann Beauregard @dannbeau]

@mustafa01ali Yes we need some good tooling around model chaining and work hand off. Something I’d like to dig into more

1 hours a day spent marketing my app (making + posting 6 videos)

30,000 downloads with this routine last month, 100% free.

you too can grow any b2c app for absolutely free, no paid ads.

yes YOU CAN. YOU READING THIS.

HERE IS HOW TO GET 1000S OF DOWNLOADS THIS MONTH TO YOUR APP FOR FREE:

- if you are struggling to get downloads to your app then read this NOW, if you bookmark it, you aren't gunna take action on it... okay lets go.

Open new account (instgram or tiktok first, or BOTH) scroll on it for 2 days, 15 min/day in your target audience. Save any videos you see that you could remake to promote your app (yes you'll need to think creatively for this)

On day 3, make some content! Based on 1 of the saved videos you have.

Make sure the comment, caption or end of video CTA is related/relevant to your app. If you just want views but no downloads, whats the use of this?

Start with 1 post/ day and after 30 days of this if you didnt hit a reel with 500k views then feel free to DM me if you need help.

Try to see what other apps are doing (can even look at mine) , and keep trying new formats, this is all about testing, but know that it IS POSSIBLE.

-

Once you find a winning format, double down on it. Each apps "winning format" is unique and this may take more than a month to find a true winner. Took me 300+ videos for my app. Now i post 3 a day on one account and 2 a day on another.

Don't rush into posting a million videos. Posting ONE a day that you have put reel creative thought into is much better than spraying out 2,3,4,5,6+ a day.

Stick to 1 a day per warmed account (account that is new and you scrolled on without posting for 2 days in your target audience)

Aim for short videos as algo LOVESSS watch time and comments. These are your two goals. MAKE content that drives comments and watch time

What type of content drives these the best? GOOD CONTENT! not slop. You can go viral if you let yourself try hard enough and keep going. I know you can. and it will be a nice boost to your app downloads and revenue.

--

okay now stop bookmarking this and just go do it, open a new account on tiktok/ instagram and warm it up.

I prefer instagram as main, then reupload to YT, TT and all others at the same time via @postbridge_

finally yes, the screenshot you see below is from my own tool post bridge. this is how ive been able to post AND MAKE 6 videos a day now after finding a winning format for my app that drives downloads. I upload and schedule all my apps content using this and it takes 10x less time!

You can do the same for $9/ month (10x cheaper than the cheapest service out there for this same thing)

-

HOW TO WARMUP ACOUNT RECAP:

Make new account, scroll on it for 15 mins /day for 2-3 days. Scroll, follow, comment and like posts that YOUR APP or product is relevant to only. This helps the algorithm know where to push your content to first. This is CRITICAL for tiktok especially as its hard to change later. You should never buy Old accounts, they suck, and are very hard to warm up or change the existing set audience. I use same email for all my tiktok accounts, most little things dont matter like this. If you dont get views following this then its most likely your content is not that great. Keep trying, and don't be afraid to stop posting for 2-3 days if you cant break 500 view mark on TT or IG.

OKAY NOW GO GO GO TRY IT!

I am going through the same ordeal, I created a new account and it was disabled as I was setting it up. @discord boots you out so you cannot go to the account > standing section. And I cannot submit a ticket because I cannot log in. What is the best course of action to seek an appeal.

[Dann Beauregard @dannbeau]

@adamlyttleapps tried https://t.co/YuA7PRAEGe today. It's pretty solid, although before even finishing the set up on my first prelaunch, Facebook suspended my account. I have some other feedback too, but where can I send the suggestions, get help.

[Bitrig @BitrigApp]

Introducing Simulator Use!

Bitrig can now look at your app, interact like a user, and fix what it finds. The result is less back-and-forth and higher quality apps

[Dann Beauregard @dannbeau]

@mustafa01ali @claudeai And shameless plug for my Claude skill that helps to preflight app review https://t.co/58gVgDn1iC

[Dann Beauregard @dannbeau]

@mustafa01ali @claudeai One optimization I used for this proccess was to have AI create scripts for the repeatable toil in my release process.

[Dann Beauregard @dannbeau]

@mustafa01ali @bslobodin @claudeai Have the same feeling as @mustafa01ali here.

Ad attribution is setup in @RevenueCat so I can see how my Ads convert to revenue (per keyword).

[Dann Beauregard @dannbeau]

@seanallen_dev @RevenueCat This was an unlock for my campaigns as well.

[Dann Beauregard @dannbeau]

@seanallen_dev @BigMtnStudio Makes sense. Can’t wait to see what you learn!
