@LucaCaponeX I agree that having a large audience is a huge advantage, Luca. But I think reaching a smaller group of people who actually need what you're building can be just as valuable, especially in the early stages.
@evboxfan Interesting approach. Giving users control over when the app connects to the internet is a nice touch. Curious, what inspired you to build LifeWorld this way?
@ericdegaardt Doesn't sound ridiculous at all, Eric. Having supportive people around you can make a real difference, especially when things feel uncertain. Hope things get better for you
@jms10182@caffeineai Interesting comparison,also how your experience with Caffeine has been so far. Have you run into any limitations while building your app
This is my best friend Saleemi (@arsaleemii).
Norvance started over a cafe chat. AI was making it easy for non-technical founders to build apps, but who helps when that app meets real users?
That chat became @norvance_io. We bring the engineering.
What are you building?
@definitelyCoder That loop is real. Fix one thing, something else breaks, and the % never moves. What are you building? And when it breaks, is it usually the same part of the app or something different every time?
@MichaelABarroso Also a pup that grows while you stay on task is a sweet idea. It gives people a small reason not to open one more tab.
And also who are you building Staypup for first, students or people working from home?
@eddyo78@norvance_io Thanks Ed. That 80% point seems to be where a lot of AI built apps get stuck, so doing the interview and plan before any code is the correct approach. Does Lyman keep checking the work against that plan as the project grows, or is it mostly at the start?
@217dentMichael Congrats on the book, Michael. Running dent shops, HailDataHub and a news site at the same time is a lot for one person. Which of your assistants ended up saving you the most hours?
@valentinyeo Valentin, getting most tickets live in 10 minutes makes a big difference. Waiting hours really does affect the flow. With hundreds of PRs a day, how do you check that a new change didn't quietly break something older in the app?
@AlexFindleyAI Alex, about 6p a question is a nice low cost for Little Helper. Also 35 pull request merged in 3 days is actually very impressive!
What's the first thing you want him to actually do for you?
@odehahwal Hi Odeh, the receipt showing another business's logo is a scary one, and it's the kind of bug normal testing can miss. Did a customer spot that one, or did you find it yourself?
@MattCanham805@sridharfyi Hi Matt, building Andosho from your own court case gives it a real reason to exist. 24,617 files is a lot for one person to carry.
Of the four you listed, architecture, reliability, security and deployment, which one is giving you the most trouble right now?
@rishabhx29@arsaleemii@norvance_io Totally agree. Shipping feels like the finish line, then real users show up. What's been the hardest part with Sober since launch?
@arsaleemii@norvance_io I love seeing non-technical founders build their own apps now. Ideas that used to need a whole dev team are getting built in a weekend.
When those apps need engineering help to work for real users, that's where we come in.
