@jackcoder0 waiting until siri is actually good is the right call. a screen on the counter with a dumb assistant is just an expensive clock. curious if it survives the "my kitchen ipad already does this" test though
@ilavanyajain congrats, best month ever is a great feeling. real question: what moved the needle most in september, one channel blowing up or just everything compounding at once?
@carlmonkft rule of thumb: when the "simple playbook" guy also sells the tool for the playbook, the playbook is the funnel. doesn't mean it's fake, just means the screenshot is marketing, not a tutorial
@virgilerietsch respect for posting the down month. honest take: if podcasters churn because it's built for clippers, maybe don't add their features. pick clippers, own that niche, and let the others go. churn from the wrong users is a positioning problem, not a feature gap
@marclou agree. 10k steps a day is the most underrated "workout" for founders. no gym, no plan, you can take calls while doing it. it's boring, and boring is exactly why it works
monday plan: less building, more talking to people who'd actually use the thing. the code is the easy part, figuring out what actually matters to them is the hard part
@jackfriks that stat is households paying though. a ton of usage hides inside company seats, so the real early window is probably small businesses, not people
@arvidkahl feels like the agent loop is the easy part now. the gated api layer with logs and spend limits is what you actually want to own, then the model and runner stay swappable
Building in public from today.
Solo founder from Slovenia, making a booking app for salons and barbers.
Surprise #1: so many salons still book everything by phone, Instagram DMs and a paper diary.
Goal: 333 salons in 3 months. Probably crazy. Let's see.
@TheEthanDing Not necessarily. Faster, more reliable work can be useful before it shows up in revenue; the real test is whether it changes outcomes over time.
Quiet Sunday shipping window is closing here. I like these last few hours before Monday: no meetings, no noise, just one small thing finished. Then the week starts again. What are you shipping before bed?
@marclou@TimoBuilds_ The funny part is that the boring reps are still what make the output look like magic. People see the AI effect, not the training log behind it.
@thedankoe@marclou@beehiiv The interesting angle with tools like this is not the feature list, it's owning the whole workflow. One place for audience, product and checkout can remove a lot of glue code.
