I build internet businesses with AI, code and data. Some work. Some don't. I share the experiments, numbers and lessons along the way.

A dashboard can show 50 metrics and still leave you unsure what to do.

I like the simpler question: what number would actually change my decision today?

I'm trying four different ways to show habits in Actns: grid, timeline, weekly dots, and a simple list.

The hard part isn't adding more charts. It's figuring out which view people actually want to open every morning.

One idea from Atomic Habits I keep thinking about: make the action easy to repeat.

That's also a useful product design rule. If checking off a habit takes too many taps, the app becomes part of the problem.

A quick look at how my posts are doing 👀 Seeing views, replies and engagement in one place makes it easier to spot what’s connecting. Still learning as I go.

My first tiny app for IOS and Android

A $20 tool needs a lot of customers to become a real business.

A $300 tool needs fewer, but it has to solve a problem someone actually cares about.

I'm more interested in the second challenge.

A useful weekly review isn't just 'shipped 12 things.'

I want to know what changed for users: conversations, meaningful feedback, activation or revenue.

If a result is still unknown, I'd rather write 'unknown' than decorate it.

[Max Hamal 🇺🇦 @maksgamal]

One thing I keep learning from looking at small products: the best feature list doesn't always explain why people choose one.

The real clue is often the customer problem and how quickly the product removes friction.

The exciting part of MCP isn't a chatbot with more buttons.

It's giving an assistant a useful, bounded workflow: inspect the context, take the permitted action, and report what actually happened.

Where would you trust an agent today?

@troybuildsapps Thanks

If you're building a small SaaS, what would help most this month?

1) More traffic
2) More signups
3) Better activation
4) First paying customer

I'm curious which problem shows up most.

[Max Hamal 🇺🇦 @maksgamal]

I'd rather have five metrics that tell a clear story than fifty cards nobody uses.

For a small SaaS I start with acquisition, activation, conversion, revenue and retention.

What's the first number you open each morning?

[Max Hamal 🇺🇦 @maksgamal]

A new month is a good excuse to simplify.

My goal isn't to announce more projects. It's to learn which existing product solves a problem people care enough about to use.

What are you focusing on in November?

[Max Hamal 🇺🇦 @maksgamal]

Posting to X, Threads and Bluesky sounds like one action.

In practice each has different limits, media behavior and audiences.

I'm testing what should be shared across channels—and what needs a native rewrite.

[Max Hamal 🇺🇦 @maksgamal]

Before I trust a conversion rate, I ask three questions:

What exactly is the event? Can it fire twice? And is the denominator right?

Those checks catch surprisingly many 'growth' stories.

How I post my AI avatars - Postroutine. Also autoDM function works

A startup profile with a clever headline is easy to write.

A profile with clear screenshots, useful context, and honest evidence is much more valuable.

That's the kind of discovery experience I want for ExitFounder.

Weekend build-in-public note: I don't need a huge launch announcement every time I change something.

I'd rather show one real improvement, what problem it solves, and what still doesn't work.
