@hannah24_app his name is fibu ☺️

[Mujahid Islam @mujahidislam_]

got this play store review last night.

we’re not competing with other coding apps. we’re competing with infinite scroll, autoplay, the whole dopamine economy.

when a teen says learning to code beat that? that’s the whole job.

[Mujahid Islam @mujahidislam_]

the fastest way to master any framework isn’t another course.

It’s this:

Existing Project
↓
Confusion
↓
Documentation
↓
Implementation
↓
Repeat

consume less.
build more.

your brain remembers what it uses.

[Mujahid Islam @mujahidislam_]

nobody writes good code on day one.

your first code will be ugly. It will break. you’ll google everything.

that’s not failing. that’s literally how every developer you admire started.

the only difference between you and them is they kept going.

@pmitu and the best marketing doesn’t feel like marketing at all. It feels like someone finally understanding your problem.

[Mujahid Islam @mujahidislam_]

@AndriiSolokh agreed. building gives instant progress, marketing gives delayed results.

that’s why most of us hide in the code.

[Mujahid Islam @mujahidislam_]

@Nomandsign that's really cool!

[Mujahid Islam @mujahidislam_]

@TTrimoreau to give them directions😌

[Mujahid Islam @mujahidislam_]

before: a list of courses to browse.

after: a path to follow. browsing kills habits, progress builds them.

that’s the whole redesign in one image.

[Mujahid Islam @mujahidislam_]

every big app has one metric that matters most.

for Fibu it’s Day 1 to Day 3 return rate.

we redesigned our whole habit loop around it. building this in public from now on.

[Mujahid Islam @mujahidislam_]

@engwaliullah yes

@0xcb198609 haha glad you feel that.
the whole sub-group idea came from one of my own messy trips with friends 😂

so cool to see it hitting the same pain point 🔥

[Mujahid Islam @mujahidislam_]
