I’m a chronic migraine sufferer. I used to have several attacks a month, but now they’re quite rare. That's why I developed app:

I'm fed up with manually typing in headache triggers.
So I coded an algorithm to find the hidden patterns for me.

@vussyviz Unimaginable. This has to be worse than a migraine at work. Have some seltzer. Eye mask. Noise-canceling headphones. 🙏

[Ray Chen @raychen2008]

@wiltedviolet Skipping meals is a major migraine trigger. Stay safe🙏

@HsanC_ Based on my own experience, consistency is overrated — X’s algorithm basically doesn’t work if you have fewer than 500 followers.

@spectatorindex What's worse, Apple will push on-device AI models later on, which means users will have to buy devices with more memory—driving up the price.

[Ray Chen @raychen2008]

@signulll Agreed. The first step to better sleep is becoming aware of how it affects your body—making that impact visible, especially on the nervous system.

[Ray Chen @raychen2008]

@PeytonElroy Exactly. These days, in addition to my morning and evening sits, I’ve started walking meditation—it’s been great for my energy cycles and nervous system.

@brookeleblanc Social media is actually a byproduct of success. And people who have already achieved success aren't necessarily interested in monetizing their social media presence.

@adriamatz Run an A/B test of this strategy: when a user exits the paywall, offer a 20–30% discount on the first year of an annual subscription. That way, you can drive more purchases without losing the user's trust.

[Ray Chen @raychen2008]

But you could run an A/B test: when a user dismisses the paywall, offer a 20–30% discount on the first year of an annual subscription. That way, you can drive more purchases without losing the user's trust.

[Ray Chen @raychen2008]

This would erode trust among those who paid full price without getting the 50% discount.

[Adrià Martinez @adriamatz]

No exit paywall?💀

You're throwing away your easiest sales.

It's my best converter right now.

That user was already gone, then a 50% discount the second they close the paywall, and they pay.

Those are free customers.

I don't get how people still ship without one.

Here’s the thing that matters most: you’ve got to be a good storyteller. Otherwise, nobody will want to read it. And your copy has to make people feel something and earn their trust. That’s the hardest part.

[Eliana @eliana_jordan]

if you’re trying to build a brand around your app, i think content works like a funnel

TYPE 1: viral content

memes, relatable posts, trends.

these get the most views.

they bring new people into your world.

but they usually convert the worst.

TYPE 2: educational content

teach people something useful.

these get fewer views, but they build trust.

this is where people start following you for a reason.

TYPE 3: brand content

features, stories, product updates, customer wins.

not direct promotion.

just showing what you actually do.

these usually get the lowest reach.

but they’re the ones that convert.

most founders only create type 3.

the problem is nobody is there to see it.

you need all three.

[Ray Chen @raychen2008]

@chensiquan_ Perhaps the opposite is true: constantly switching physical environments fragments one's life. The weight of a life lies in the breadth of one's cognition, the depth of one's reflection, and the density of one's actions.

@MaskedHottiee You are so strong. If you push through migraines without any kind of treatment at all, your body adjusts to the migraine cycle and will keep you in that state more often and for longer periods of time, so you should always try to treat symptoms ASAP instead of riding it out.🙏

[Ray Chen @raychen2008]

@seraleev In my experience, #1 and #3 work, but the others don’t.
Especially #5 — people often only follow you after you’ve succeeded, which is why so many people on X post fake MRR.

[Ray Chen @raychen2008]

keep learning about marketing. I’m not sure if these books are outdated.

[Ray Chen @raychen2008]

@denvercoder Thanks for sharing. I’ve got a lot to learn from you — you’re a really great storyteller.

[Ray Chen @raychen2008]

@SovereignIM Romantic, while you don't understand where the boundaries are.
