Someone should offer a service where they come and confront people who aren’t using headphones in public spaces for a flat fee

The closed garden behavior of movie theatres is crazy, $7.79 for a soda is steep. I understand that this is free market but it seems to me that people would go to the movies more often if it didn’t physically pain them to purchase a drink

me not being a beta user

[yaya @YairDev]

Saw @thepatwalls tweet an idea.
Built it in 8 days.
Now he's gonna be our first beta user 🤩

You can just do things.

I thought it said this at first 💀

sending my fiancée doodles while i’m on bike at gym so when she wakes up she sees it in her lovebox :))

[Troy Oster @tosterdev]

@jackfriks I'm definitely thinking about joining! I am honestly not sure if I can get my app to the app stores before then though 😅 lots to do

[Troy Oster @tosterdev]

@jackfriks Is there a hook you find works well that prompts users to ask? Or is it just screen footage and people are inherently interested?

[Troy Oster @tosterdev]

It's too early to say and correlation ≠ causation but I think my SEO efforts for tincto are going to pay off

[Troy Oster @tosterdev]

@jackfriks @postbridge_ I’m trying your marketing every day strategy with some TikTok slideshows and pSEO. I’ll report back at the end of the month 🫡

[Troy Oster @tosterdev]

@Mike_Andreuzza Super clean! I’ll try it out whenever I have a client 😅

[Troy Oster @tosterdev]

I think for my birthday Google should index my new pages

[Troy Oster @tosterdev]

Here's the slideshow image I was generating for TikTok that's available in the "sharable palette" tab

[Troy Oster @tosterdev]

I've been working on some updates for tincto lately, I originally made this feature to help with creating TikTok slideshows and spun it out into a more formal feature for the site. I think it turned out really well honestly.

[Troy Oster @tosterdev]

@KMkota0 I mean if the beta invites are still open I’d love to give it a shot!

[Troy Oster @tosterdev]

@thisisneer This is pretty crazy ngl, I haven’t started really posting content like this, do you just make a new account and throw it on there or what’s the strategy there?

[Troy Oster @tosterdev]

@jackfriks demo:

it's certainly not perfect but whipped up quick over some breaks

[Troy Oster @tosterdev]

@jackfriks @jackfriks

for your consideration https://t.co/jUIwxueoKY

I saw in another comment you mentioned an app that adds text to <10 second videos. Is this what you are looking for?

[Troy Oster @tosterdev]

I wish Apple would release a "minimal" phone. E-ink screen, low bloat, apple ecosystem integration, hotspot, gps. Would be perfect

[Troy Oster @tosterdev]

@stephenfung_dev @raroque I think Raroque and @posthog really sold me on the idea of mascots, any mobile app I build will have one

[Troy Oster @tosterdev]

> release desktop app a year ago
> assume it has no users because I didn’t market it
> friend convinces me to add analytics
> mfw I do and it gets several downloads a week

I guess back to releasing regular updates and looking for user feedback

Anyone else have this experience?

[Troy Oster @tosterdev]

@alexcooldev It feels good no matter the scale 😂
