[hatef @itsmehatef]

the stuff that looks good on your timeline and the stuff that actually gets you users are rarely the same thing.

builders: which of your posts actually brought in users?

[hatef @itsmehatef]

@rahulsinghh__ have you done organic outreach on those?

[hatef @itsmehatef]

where did your first 10 users actually come from?

> X
> reddit
> discord
> cold DMs

[hatef @itsmehatef]

gut check: an AI sous-chef that cooks *with* you, step by step, off what's in your kitchen.

useful, or gimmick? building it live (chop).

[hatef @itsmehatef]

@dannytommyX keep up the good work tho! 10/10

[hatef @itsmehatef]

@dannytommyX do you need a link to app store?

[hatef @itsmehatef]

@harjjotsinghh thanks for the insight harjot... chop is neither, its a living chef inside your phone, you can do either of those and it'll adapt.

i appreciate the sub reddit suggestions btw, really helpful.

and i will check out moonshift. looks promising!... 10/10.

[hatef @itsmehatef]

spent today making chop suggest swaps when you're out of an ingredient.

small feature. weirdly the most satisfying thing i've built this week.

[hatef @itsmehatef]

claude's ultracode in action ... 51 parallel agents for a doc review!

idk if i should be impressed or cry about my tokens. im kinda doing both.

@DeRodrigue98464 @probiex007 what's your reach-to-signup ratio on those subreddit posts? feel like the complainers aren't always the buyers.

[hatef @itsmehatef]

@wongmjane someone's really after you... and the ai thing is not resolved lol

[hatef @itsmehatef]

@DeRodrigue98464 @probiex007 exactly... like where do you go to?

[hatef @itsmehatef]

@probiex007 insightful ... appreciate the tip!

[hatef @itsmehatef]

@rahulsinghh__ what if your target aren't the builders?

[hatef @itsmehatef]

solo devs: what's the last feature you deleted? did a single user notice?

[hatef @itsmehatef]

@probiex007 how do you find target users for your product though? building in public is another thing, finding right users for your app is another

[hatef @itsmehatef]

@rahulsinghh__ how do you find your target users on x?

[hatef @itsmehatef]

[hatef @itsmehatef]

@CodedCitadel interesting about reddit everyone seem to have a good experience with it… any particular sub you posted in?

[hatef @itsmehatef]

@linkdude2209 i agree with reddit. you have any particular sub in mind?

[hatef @itsmehatef]
