Healthy routines used to feel like a full-time job - or a guilt trip.

So we created MySmoothie: a weekly planner tailored to your energy, body type, and rhythm.

We honor your type and design accordingly - rooted in Korean health wisdom, made for modern life.

Hot take: In the AI era, posting MORE isn't the strategy.

Having a PERSPECTIVE is.

My approach:
→ AI spots the trends
→ I add the take
→ Genuine comments on top threads

People follow a point of view, not information.

Post less. Think more. Win bigger.

The rich eat what makes them younger every day.
You?

That line hit harder than any symptom.
Awareness is the real painkiller—
it makes pain impossible to ignore.

We thought wellness meant getting healthy.
They just wanted to feel better—fast.

Sell the fix, not the future.💡

I’m shaping a business that grows through alignment—
with people who…🍀

- Solve problems, not just wait for instructions.
- Respect their health like it’s power.
- See AI as a partner, not a tool.
- Lead their life, not follow trends.

Sounds like you? I'am happy to connect.💡

[J. Hong | #BuildInPublic @dataartz]

@GiftVincy Totally get this. I set out to build a door more people could walk through.

@nateherk Hi, Nate.
I am your big fan from South Korea!
Could you add Korean to audio track in youtube? 😺

✳️ Are you feeling alone building something new?

I was there too.

When no one’s using the product yet, self-doubt creeps in.

So I joined a community of builders facing the similar challenges.

Turns out, community became my co-founder. 👈

When I told people I’d use AI to build smoothie routines, most raised eyebrows.

But I wasn’t chasing trends —
I was solving my own burnout. ✅️

You don’t need everyone’s approval.

Those who only comment won’t harvest.
Builders do. 🔁

No one wants to fill out a long form on Day 1. 🍀

My onboarding starts with one question:
“What do you need today?” 💡

As you stick around, the rest fills in—naturally.✅

Frictionless. Familiar. Forward.

How do you design onboarding that grows with your users? 👇

[J. Hong | #BuildInPublic @dataartz]

Not all makers win on tech. Some win on obsession.

Jobs fixated on fonts. Built a brand so distinct, rivals faded from memory.

What I took from him:
✅ Simple > Full
✅ Focus > Flash
✅ Loyalty > Trends

Who reshaped your bar for excellence? 👇

What we’ve learned building in public: 🍀

→ Transparency builds trust
→ Process > polish
→ MVPs win, not perfect plans
→ Users want to *shape* the product

So we’re shipping next:
→ Flavor Score
→ Taste memory
→ Habit feedback loops

Would you test this with us? 👇

[J. Hong | #BuildInPublic @dataartz]

Our early mistake?

We focused for “perfect AI recipes” before hearing real people.

Turns out, people crave choice, control, and a sense of “this is mine.” ✅

So we pivoted:
→ Fast MVP
→ Taste feedback
→ Habit tools that adapt

What would you personalize first? 👇
