Sumeet

@myra_apps @liam_at_shopify thanks :)

@sumxxt @liam_at_shopify normal days... because of AI there are more than 200 apps publishing daily so yeah the timelines are stretched. All the best for your App 😀

What are the current time lines for Shopify app reviews? @liam_at_shopify I understand submission must be at peak right now but an estimate would be helpful. I’m 3 weeks in already

shopify app launching soon (once reviewed, lol)

@myra_apps @liam_at_shopify 36 normal days or business days? 😅

@sumxxt @liam_at_shopify Mine took 36 days

@Percival @akopcz @robertosenabre the app is at 296 reviews. I think experienced builders (not on v1's of their apps) are still going through quicker reviews

@akopcz @robertosenabre Yes it’s so strange why some go right through and others sit for weeks

Oh yeah!!! It's go to market time 🚀

@robertosenabre congratulations man! cheers

@MoskowitzAvi its still under review, but has been running super fine for our demo stores

@sumxxt Nice! Would have to check, but what's your app?

Shopper types "SAVE20." Doesn't work. Tries again. Caps lock. No caps. Opens Google. Finds a dead Reddit thread. Closes the tab. Gone. 46% of shoppers bail when a code fails. We just shipped the fix.

@navdeepsoni @MoskowitzAvi Hey Navdeep I’ve used the pdq checkout pulse app seems like it’s available for all.

@MoskowitzAvi is it open to all on checkout page or conditional?

@sugandhanisa this is made with @HeyGen, there's an officially published casestudy on their site just fyi

AI content is getting bizarre. Yang Mun is an "AI influencer" with over a million followers on Instagram. He has this supremely likeable aura, gives the most familiar health and wellness advice, appears in the most picturesque locations every time, and speaks in a very soothing voice with a western accent. I kept scrolling through his videos thinking "something is off" and only when I got to the old videos did that suspicion materialise when I saw his head shape change 🤣 The main giveaway IMO is that the videos are "too perfect" in a way reality just is not. I looked it up and turns out that this AI monk is in the news a lot for going viral! And has apparently been made by an Israeli creator which makes it all the more... strange. I think it made me sad because I was hoping he'd be real :')

most brands that "cracked meta" in 2021 were just riding the CPM wave. now the wave's gone they think the platform broke. it didn't

@chhddavid the building part got easy. finding customers still takes 182 days not seconds

Introducing the end of vibe coding. I just watched Claude build a full business in 182 seconds. This is actually scary.

@chhddavid x beating seo for early D2C growth tracks. google is basically pay to play for new brands now. curious though — does X distribution still hold past $50k mrr or does it plateau?

Day 241 of building in public MRR: $21,320 Goal: $50k We've doubled down on 𝕏 for the past month. While SEO and building in public helped us get the first $5k MRR, we found X very reliable in going from $7k to $21k MRR... So we'll keep doing that. Cool thing about being so much on X is that you find tricks from other founders and just apply them to your SaaS! 50k here we come. (this is for @shipper_now btw)

@chhddavid x outperforming seo at this stage makes sense. content compounds trust faster than search when you're pre-authority. what's your cac from x looking like vs other channels?

@dickiebush hardest part isn't picking what you want. it's not chasing the 3 other things that could also work while you're focused on the one

Mantra that serves me well: You can have anything you want. But not everything. And only one thing at a time.

everyone talks about finding product market fit. barely anyone talks about what happens when you find it and the unit economics still don't work

@realBigBrainAI applies to founders too. being way smarter than your team just means nobody gets the vision. do you think that's why repeat founders tend to over-communicate obsessively?

Marc Andreessen says raw intelligence might be the worst qualification for leadership — and it changes everything about how we should think about AI. "If the leader is more than one standard deviation of IQ away from the followers, it's a real problem." Andreessen points to the US military, one of the earliest and most rigorous adopters of IQ testing, as the source of this insight. They slot people into specialties and leadership roles based on IQ scores. And over the years, they kept seeing the same pattern. A leader who is significantly less intelligent than their people struggles to model how those people think. That part is intuitive. But the reverse turns out to be equally true. "It's actually very hard for very smart people to model the internal thought processes of even moderately smart people." A leader who is two standard deviations above the norm of the organisation they're running also loses theory of mind, that ability to hold an accurate model of what's happening inside someone else's head. The gap is too wide in both directions. Andreessen then takes this to its logical conclusion: "If you had a person or a machine that had a thousand IQ or something like it, its understanding of reality would be so alien to the people or the things that it was managing that it wouldn't even be able to connect in any sort of realistic way." An AI that vastly outthinks every human in the room isn't positioned to lead those humans. It's positioned to be completely incomprehensible to them. Leadership has never really been an intelligence problem. It's a connection problem. And no amount of raw intelligence closes that gap — past a certain point, it only widens it. The world will not be run by the smartest thing in the room for a long time. Maybe ever.

@chhddavid the 182 seconds is the demo. the 3 months of debugging edge cases after that is not in the clip

meta ads die. everyone blames the algorithm. usually it's just the creative got stale. hook rate below 20%? that's your answer
