@zarias Anywhere I can download my old dedpxl purchases?

Missing travel… Chennai, India.

@marclou @Mikhail972 How do you find products that exist but could be better?

@Mikhail972 me too, because I mostly don't have problems so I built something that existed but I could do better (or at least better for me) and then ideas germ from that first project

2022 → 25% of my startups made money 2023 → 71% of my startups made money My takeaways: - build minimal - ship fast - move fast - focus on painkillers

@ramit K now post from r/ fat fire. The sentiment is usually the opposite

If you find yourself identifying with a community that… - Reduces your life goals to a single number - Prizes savings rates over a meaningful life - Glosses over what you’ll actually do once you achieve your goals …you are at severe risk of an unhappy and unsuccessful life

This is a haunting Reddit comment: "I regret my entire life because of my unhealthy fixation with money I did not take any risks in life. I did not look for a high paying job. I did not experiment w/dating or travel I spend most of my time thinking about my savings"

- Engage within private communities, - sponsor newsletters, - DM influencers to promote in exchange for X, - do a well planned PH launch, - start sharing your thoughts on LinkedIn and Twitter and ask your friends to share, - Attend offline events and try to get a pitch slot It's a myth that you need an online presence to grow a SaaS. That's what social marketing agencies and gurus tell you to do.

Do you have an iPad? If so, what are your main use cases for it?

@gilgNYC @Adam_Boyl I’d venture closure to hundred or so given a big majority of them are VC-backed

@Adam_Boyl Hard to say but probably at least a dozen or more.

Last night I had a dream that my Shopify app grew to $1 million MRR. Here are the 10 Saas services I used to get exponential growth for my app:

How in the world does one of the best design agencies in the world fall off so hard?

@JanessaNWhite @thesamparr I’d rethink the profile cover photo

@rileyj_s I don’t have one but it helps in scaling up and getting consistent MRR and is easier to sell the agency too

So everyone a subscription based studio now?

@rileyj_s A simple task with a deadline – Over 90% of freelancers will ghost you if theres a slight chance of delay or things not going as expected. Look for signs of communication skills. The best people I've hired aren't the best coders, but the best project managers and communicators

They say a way to test a good chief is to watch how they make scrambled eggs. What’s the designer’s version of scrambling eggs?

Pirating the entire adobe suite got me into tech

@novikoff How do you not just command space for the apps you want?

Get bored with this one-shape icon style. I don’t like it anymore. + I always missclicking on similar-looking icons.

@t3dotgg They’re literally giving you the option for both. Why is this a problem? I can dock on my workstation via TB and charge via MagSafe literally anywhere else

Why is everyone so mad about Lightning but so cool with this? I’ll never understand the users Apple is bending to with these decisions

I will never use one of these hellish cables to charge my Mac. I’m on my 2nd MagSafe-ready machine and have still only charged with USB-C

Who else is going to #figmaconfig?

@krpetrich @tylertringas You could make that into an API product itself!

@tylertringas Me for air quality consultants! They spend several hours every week searching for air permits across state and local websites. To start, I'm compiling these into one database and making it easier and quicker for them to find the permits they need.

Who’s out there building SaaS for an overlooked, unsexy industry?

@jabbawy Depends on airport and destination. Flying domestic out of SD? Like an hour prior. Flying international from LAX? 3 hours prior plus build in 30 minutes for Uber to airport

Your flight is at 11 AM. What time do you show up to the airport?

Starting to think Product Management will be overtaken by Product Engineering. Engineers are learning product. PMs aren’t learning how to build. Reminds me of “information architects” in the old days arguing that nobody understood how important they were. Then they disappeared.
