I think about ideas way too much, so now I'm building them. 🚀
Tech • Software • Entrepreneurship
Building in Public 🇳🇬

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

I don't know where this journey will lead.
But I'd rather build embarrassing first versions than keep collecting ideas forever.
Let's get to work. 🚀

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

@heyshipz 👋 hello

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

@ik__6lemmon Spotify

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

@ChristianKorb 😂 AI Twitter is a different world sometimes.

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

@Nomywzm Slowly growing 😄
More importantly, having some great conversations with builders.

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

@finnbuilt You've got me curious now 👀

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

@itsalicesoul Working on turning ideas into action 😅
Also learning a ton from builders here on X.

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

@Sarakhan49309 For a new account, I'd say yes.
Replies help people discover you, while posts give them a reason to stay.

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

@danellisona Yes.
I'm learning that consistency matters more than any single post.
Hard to grow if you quit every time a post flops

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

@Careerbuddha111 Also interested in SaaS, AI, and building in public.
Still early in my journey, but excited to learn from fellow builders.

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

@mohammad_j43370 To learn from builders, share my journey, and hopefully turn some ideas into real products.

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

@madsmadsdk @robj3d3 Day 1 is all that matters right now.
Most people never start, so you're already ahead of them.
Looking forward to following the journey.

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

@MdrBwl This is a lesson I'm starting to appreciate.
Users care more about whether a product solves their problem than how impressive the tech is.

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

@kimindiehacker @X Interested in AI, startups, and building products.
Just getting started, but excited to connect with other builders and learn along the way.

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

@Dri_shy_a Still early in my journey, but that's one reason I'm building in public.

I'd rather learn openly than wait for the perfect moment.

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

@ShipItAfnan This is a reminder that assumptions aren't feedback.
Talking to real people beats guessing every time.

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

Ideas are exciting because everything seems possible.
Building is uncomfortable because reality gets a vote.
I'm learning to choose uncomfortable.

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

@evrentkg For me, I'd rather do 1 thoughtful post and spend time having real conversations than publish 5 posts and disappear.
Posting gives people something to find. Conversations give them a reason to remember you.

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

@JackLIUreal @evrentkg Yes oooo

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

@evrentkg @JackLIUreal Honestly, I'm not sure.
This is my 2nd or 3rd attempt at X.
On LinkedIn, I don't just leave a comment. I add my perspective and a question so the conversation can continue.
Some of those conversations turn into follows, some don't, but they've helped me build genuine connections.

[Mary Akintade @realmakintade]

@christiankorb I actually keep coming back to one specific problem.

I'm keeping the details to myself for now, but my goal is to get people using a simple V1 first.
AI is something I'm thinking about for V2 rather than the starting point.
