@tux_not_found Getting users to actually use the thing after signup. Building the product was the easy bit.

Day 17 of building Layzer in public.

Day job + family. No code shipped.

Consistency doesn't mean output every day. Some days are just about staying in the game.

Still in.

@ShishirRavi_ Done, let's connect

[Junayed @junayed711]

Day 16 of building Layzer in public.

32 signups
47 followers
Retention's poor
Sent 17 emails asking users why
Signups feel good
Usage stats don't
That's the gap

@radley0x For me: build fast, for myself first. The "user" is me until the product clicks. Then start talking to others. Did that with Layzer — now Day 16 in public and learning the hard way that "useful to me" isn't enough on its own. Curious what others do.

[Junayed @junayed711]

@radley0x 🙌 What are you building?

[Junayed @junayed711]

@JonBuildsHQ Pound's doing more work than I am tbh 😂

[Junayed @junayed711]

@DanielSmidstrup This is amazing :)

The UI is just enough to get the job done. Type a URL, hit record, get a gif.

Builders/Founders:

What's your go-to tool for creating product visuals — demo videos, gifs, screenshots?

Share the secret sauce!

[Junayed @junayed711]

The gifs I've been posting on here? Sometimes Cap. Sometimes a janky tool I built to screen record in the background — instead of doing it manually every time.

[Junayed @junayed711]

@mynameisyahia Congrats

[Junayed @junayed711]

@pierreeliottlal "Talk to customers daily" is the hardest bit early on. Sent 17 emails to dormant signups this week — one good reply beats 30 cold signups.

Curious how you'd run #1 for consumer-leaning AI products where the value's hard to feel until you've used it.

@SaraDiscovers MacBook. Battery + silence. Gaming laptops are great rigs, just not for 10-hour coding days.

[Junayed @junayed711]

@thenowhereway Saving this one. 16 days into building in public — 32 signups, poor retention, zero real distribution strategy. Curious what the founders who got past this stage learned

[Junayed @junayed711]

@akothari @NotionHQ @ivan Building on .ai myself and reading this with quiet envy 😅 The Grateful Dead concert angle is genuinely brilliant. Congrats on landing it

[Junayed @junayed711]

@jackfriks @marclou Solo founder energy reading this 😅 Building https://t.co/vHhLM0PNiw alone, twin dad. Some days I'd trade a kidney for a cofounder.
