Best growth channel for dev tools in 2026:
→ Not ads
→ Not influencers
→ Docs so good people share them
Documentation is marketing.

Building SwiftPatch as a two-person team taught me:
You don't need 10 engineers. You need 2 who ship daily and talk to users weekly.
#BuildInPublic#Startup
Dev tools don't sell on features.
They sell on:
→ Time saved per deploy
→ Incidents prevented
→ Sleep reclaimed
Sell the outcome.

SwiftPatch pricing lesson:
We started free. Nobody took us seriously.
We charged $49/mo. Suddenly we had "enterprise requirements."
Pricing is positioning.

@SaganMarketing Appreciate the interest! We built SwiftPatch specifically to solve the 'App Store Queue' headache basically, we allow you to push hotfixes or UI tweaks to your React Native/Flutter users instantly, bypassing the 48-hour review wait.
I’d love to show you how we handle it.
We plugged an LLM into our deploy diff analysis at SwiftPatch.
It catches more regressions than our manual review ever did. And it never gets Friday-brain.

AI + CI/CD is underrated.
→ Auto-generate changelogs
→ Predict flaky tests
→ Flag breaking changes pre-merge
This is where AI actually ships value.

Unpopular opinion: the most valuable AI output for PMs isn't "what to build."
It's "what NOT to build."
Saying no with data > saying yes with opinions.
Building something for this. More Tuesday.
#AI#ProductManagement#BuildInPublic
Shipped a production hotfix in 47 seconds last week.
No App Store review. No TestFlight.
Merge → OTA push → Live.
The bug was one wrong API endpoint. In mobile without OTA, that's a 2-week wait.
OTA updates aren't optional anymore.
#ReactNative#OTA#MobileDev
Every AI product tool: "Here's a summary of your feedback."
Me: "Cool. What do I build?"
Tool: "..."
Summarization is not decision-making.
PMs don't need dashboards. They need decisions.
#AI#ProductManagement
LLMs are the best rubber duck debuggers ever created.
Not because they're always right. Because they force you to articulate the problem clearly.
