Started a small “side quest”:

IOS keyboard app, with text generation/completion.

Use it for:
- Tweets
- Instagram captions
- Texting back your mom

📥 DM me if you're interested 🙂

A product you haven't launched yet is the perfect place for creative copywriting. RIP placeholder texts 🤣

I would love some nice illustrations for my onboarding.

Can't really justify making any, because it doesn't make the launch happen sooner 🚀

Stock illustrations or none?

🔮 How to predict what the future looks like?

Look at what startups are building!

There's some uncertainty to it but all of the possible outcomes are there.

A startup is a process where you conduct a series of experiments that maximizes dollar output.

Experiments in startups are different than those in science.

You are allowed to introduce any bias that maximizes your chances of succeeding.

When a stranger on the internet tells you that your startup idea is stupid and is doomed to fail, just remember: Canva was rejected by more than 100 VCs 🤷‍♂️

All beginnings are hard. And by beginnings I don't mean:

- Setting up a fresh dev environment
- Spinning up a database
- Writing code

- Finding a problem worth solving
- Knocking on doors
- Finding the right people to talk to

When you talk to users, forget that you're a developer - use the same language that they use.

#indiehackers, what is the dirtiest hack in your product?

Hey, #indiehackers and makers who #buildinpublic!

Who's building products using NLP and language models like GPT-3?

Ideas without execution are considered worthless.

At the same time, ideas that are executed perfectly are capped by the potential value of the idea.

I've tried some different ways of presenting blog post recaps, but bullet points is what I'm going with for now 🙂
