@trikcode yeah that's real , 600 people just say it's over everytime even though if it's never gonna be over

@trikcode the it's over posts are the worst part - half of them are about the same thing framed 6 different ways and none of them are actually actionable. at some point logging off is the most productive thing you can do

Unpopular opinion:
If you're an indie dev using Stripe internationally,
you're paying a 3-5% tax on every transaction
and you don't even know it.
It's not in the fee breakdown.
It's hidden in the currency conversion.
I ran a global SaaS for years before I realized.
Airwallex lets you hold 20+ currencies and convert when YOU want.
The difference? Thousands per year.
For doing literally nothing different.

We've burned $75K of our money building this. 🔥
For a long time, it looked like a terrible idea.
Now we’re finally close to an inflection point.
My name is Kevin Qi, and this is the story of Festa:
In early 2024, my cofounder asked me what I wanted to do with the rest of my 20s.
I had a great career at Amazon, but deep down I knew I had always wanted to build something of my own.
I started coding as a kid just to build things, launched websites that got real users, and even tried starting a company at 17.
It failed. But that was the point.
So we started meeting weekly, throwing around ideas.
Factory Automation. ERP AI. Hardware.
Eventually we landed on something crazy:
What if AI could coordinate live events in real time?
I built the first version during nights and weekends.
We tested it at our own event in SF.
It worked. More importantly, people instantly “got it.”
That was enough conviction for me.
I quit Amazon.
Then reality hit:
• YC rejection
• failed marketing
• $2K in ads → 0 customers
• first wedding sale: $130
We even fumbled a $1K+ deal after messing up pricing.
But we kept going.
We rebuilt the product and shifted entirely to content + UGC.
Over the last 6 months:
• hundreds of videos tested
• figured out what actually converts
• acquisition cost now down to ~$7
• and finally approaching potential repeatable profitability
Which brings us to today.
We just launched the biggest redesign of Festa yet and for the first time, anyone can try it instantly as a guest to a "fake investor and startup conference event”.
