@flowy_app I like your app but how do I display my video cameras recorder with the video that’s been recorded? The screen not working?

@bfl_ml This model is goated, currently adding to my platform!

@lgrammel I wonder what there reasoning for making this is? Seems like a waste of time and resources …

the uncanny valley of creation

you ship your mvp, get some users, maybe even hit some early metrics – and think you're done. but you're actually in the most dangerous spot possible.

that first version works but it's not good yet. it's functional but clunky. users try it but don't stick. you're in this weird limbo between "it works" and "people actually want this" – that's the valley.

most people stop here because going deeper feels uncertain. the feedback is mixed, the paths forward are many, and honestly it's just hard work. but this is exactly where you need to double down.

pmf isn't just finding users who'll use your thing – it's making something so good they can't imagine living without it. that happens in the details. in how every interaction feels, how the whole experience flows, how it just works the way they expect.

the thing about mvps is they get you to the starting line, not the finish line. excellence lives in iteration after iteration after iteration. going deeper into every level – the copy, the transitions, the edge cases, the moments of delight that make people smile.

when you know something needs to exist, you don't need to doubt every decision. you just keep iterating toward that future vision while solving the concrete thing right in front of you. the path becomes clearer as you walk it.

the hardest part is holding both the big vision and the tiny details at the same time. but that's what separates good from greatness. many builders give up in the valley between "it works" and "it's magical" – but that's exactly where the magic happens.

@AskPerplexity Is there an api for this?

What tools do people use for cold outreach?

I’ve done some cold outreach for validation, wanting to learn how I can scale this up

[Matt strawbridge @matt_strawb]

@ericzakariasson would love it if Cursor could make a ding or some kind of notification when codegen is complete — would make multitasking a lot easier!

Is there a way I can do this currently?

[Matt strawbridge @matt_strawb]

@kedeooo Looks good I wonder if a small colour change for the signup button? Nothing massive looks clean though
