First-time builder lesson #1:
Talk to the people who have the problem before you build the solution.
I've spoken to 20+ founders about how they handle event follow-up. Every single one has a horror story.
shake exists because of those conversations.
The most common thing I hear when I tell people about shake:
"Oh god, I just got back from a show and did exactly this."
That's how you know you're building something real.
Nobody warns you that the hardest part of building a product isn't the code.
It's deciding what to leave out.
Every feature I cut this week made shake better.
A month into building shake.
What I thought the hard part would be: the AI drafting.
What's actually the hard part: getting capture down to under 10 seconds so people actually use it mid-conversation.
The unglamorous problems are usually the real ones.
