Starting something new for Building in public community.

Most founders think growth comes from more marketing. Sometimes, it comes from removing it entirely. Angus Cheng built Bank Statement Converter after struggling with PDF data extraction. After failed ads, blogging, and outreach, he shifted fully to product-led growth. *1. Solve a real, personal problem* First-hand pain points lead to practical, valuable solutions. *2. Cut what doesn’t work quickly* Stop unprofitable channels and reallocate focus. *3. Let customer feedback guide development* Iterate based on real user needs, not assumptions. *4. Focus on product over hype* Ignore trends and build something consistently useful. Paid ads failed to generate ROI, and outreach brought minimal traction. Organic growth followed once he focused purely on product improvements. The takeaway: not all growth is driven by marketing. Build something valuable, refine it continuously, and let users drive momentum. CC: @starter_story @TaseedMustafa

Most founders get ignored because they promote too early. The ones who win earn attention before asking for it. Diego Roshardt built AppAlchemy without an initial audience. He scaled using a value-first Reddit strategy instead of traditional marketing. 1. Provide value before promotion* Lead with insights, then mention your product subtly. 2. Use platforms like a native* Adapt to community rules to avoid bans and increase reach. 3. Focus on high-volume distribution* Consistent posting compounds visibility and traction. 4. Prioritize speed over perfection* Ship fast and validate demand before adding features. He reached $17K MRR in 4 months from zero audience. Growth came from Reddit, organic content, and rapid iteration. The takeaway: attention is earned, not bought. Give value first, distribute consistently, and let demand pull your product.

Most founders overcomplicate growth with ads and funnels. The fastest growth often comes from simple products and creative distribution. Yasser Elsaid built Chatbase from a side project into a multi-million dollar business. He scaled rapidly by building in public and leveraging product-led growth. 1. Build one core feature extremely well* Focus on delivering a fast “aha moment” for users. 2. Turn your product into distribution* Create free, shareable tools that attract your target audience. 3. Build in public consistently* Share progress to gain trust, visibility, and early users. 4. Ride existing trends strategically* Align launches with market momentum to maximize reach. He reached multi-million revenue in under 4 months. Growth came from organic traffic, community sharing, and PLG loops. The takeaway: simplicity scales faster than complexity. Build fast, distribute creatively, and iterate with market feedback. CC: @starter_story @TaseedMustafa

This can't be done on @higgsfield_ai i personally experienced it.

Building the products that too with no idea experience in coding feels like we are so underrated. But when we look up to founders of company which are among fortune - 500 they were in the same situation while getting started. The only difference is they chase time and we chase engagement.

@mrcanute1 Right said.

@TaseedMustafa overthinking is the modern tax on creativity and most people are paying way too much XD let's connect btw

I realised We are among one of the most confused generation bcoz of the social media . We complex down the things which is easier to do this Era. - Product - content... That's it. From the past 4 month's I was just around ideation and Trends . And one thing is so clear that - Just put your work.Don't think too much just build the broken products you believe in. You'll eventually figure out what needs to be done. I'm getting started with building the product now and will be soon releasing the crazy AI content which gives value to the relatable audience.

Most founders try to win by copying what already works. The best ones win by being intentionally different. Lane Wagner built boot.dev in a crowded market by standing out. He focused on an interactive, backend-first experience instead of following front-end-heavy competitors. 1. Differentiate deliberately* Make your product uniquely valuable, not just slightly better. 2. Build an MVP with quality* Minimum features should still deliver an exceptional experience. 3. Leverage unconventional distribution* Partner with platforms and creators outside your immediate niche. 4. Learn marketing as a founder* Understanding growth reduces dependency and accelerates traction. He scaled to nearly $1M monthly revenue. Growth came from blog trust, freeCodeCamp exposure, and gaming-focused influencer marketing. The takeaway: uniqueness drives attention, but execution sustains it. Build something distinct, market it creatively, and iterate based on real user feedback.

The era of the one-person $1B company is here. This is how you structure your team of AI agents: - Engineering: code, testing, DevOps - Design: UI/UX, brand assets - Marketing: content, SEO, social - Sales: lead gen, outreach, demos - Support: tickets, docs - Data: metrics, analysis 1 founder. 6 agent departments. 0 employees. Slow. Then all at once.

@pcshipp Why both vercel and railway?

My march month Tech costs 🐦 X - $5 ▲ Vercel - $20 🚆 Railway - $5 🌐 Domain - $2 📶 Internet - $4 ⚡ Groq API - $10 🤖 GPT-5 API - $30 🎙️ Deepgram - $25 📦 Supabase - $20 💻 Claude Code - $20 Total = $141/month Revenue = $706/month where am I wasting money?

Most founders treat distribution as an afterthought. The best ones engineer it from day one. Nikita and Evgeniy built Natural Write with a growth-first approach. After failed influencer campaigns, they shifted to a highly systematic TikTok strategy. 1. Research before you build* Analyze competitors and viral formats before writing code. 2. Copy proven formats, then improve* Replication reduces risk and increases the odds of traction. 3. Treat distribution like engineering* Optimize content, geography, and tools with precision. 4. Focus on high-leverage platforms* Master one channel deeply instead of spreading thin. They generated 9M+ views and reached $100K revenue in 90 days. An 80% conversion rate turned traffic into rapid growth. The takeaway: distribution is a system, not luck. Build for demand, execute proven strategies, and scale what already works.

Most founders think growth comes from marketing. In reality, it often comes from product experience and distribution loops. Erikas built Kaching Bundles by focusing on UX and speed over complexity. He identified a gap between overly technical tools and slow corporate products and positioned himself in between. 1. Validate with community before building* Test ideas through real user feedback in niche groups. 2. Reduce friction at launch* Offer free access early to accelerate adoption and installs. 3. Turn support into a growth channel* Exceptional customer support directly drives reviews and retention. 4. Systemize review generation* Use prompts, incentives, and team accountability to maximize 5-star reviews. He scaled to $4.5M annual revenue with near-zero marketing spend. Growth was driven by organic installs, strong reviews, and compounding word-of-mouth. The takeaway: product + experience can replace traditional marketing. Build something users love, and engineer systems that amplify satisfaction into growth. CC: @TaseedMustafa @starter_story

Most successful startups are not built on new ideas. They are built on better execution of proven ones. Samuel Rondot transitioned from optician to developer with no formal coding background. He built a portfolio of simple SaaS tools by replicating validated ideas and improving usability. 1. Build on proven demand* Identify ideas already working in the market instead of chasing originality. 2. Validate with paid acquisition first* Use ads to quickly test demand before investing further. 3. Keep products simple and maintainable* Avoid complexity to reduce costs and operational friction. 4. Create compounding growth systems* Leverage SEO, automation, and affiliates for scalable acquisition. He scaled to $35,000 MRR using this playbook. Growth came from ads → SEO → automated content → affiliate distribution. The core takeaway: innovation is optional, execution is not. Ship fast, validate early, and scale what already works. CC: @starter_story @TaseedMustafa .

Most startups don’t fail due to lack of ideas. They fail due to misallocated focus in the early stages. Ben Bozzay refined this understanding while building Tech Lockdown. After multiple failed side projects and an unsustainable web agency, he restructured his approach to building. 1. Prioritize product-market fit Validate demand with a functional product before investing in branding. 2. Eliminate unnecessary complexity Overengineering slows execution and increases the risk of burnout. 3. Work on meaningful problems* Intrinsic motivation improves consistency during early-stage uncertainty. 4. Leverage content for acquisition* High-quality, problem-focused content drives sustainable organic growth. He scaled through SEO-driven articles, Reddit distribution, and direct user engagement. Growth was achieved without significant paid acquisition. The core takeaway: building the product is only half the equation. Early-stage success depends on validating demand and solving distribution from day one. CC : @starter_story @TaseedMustafa

@pcshipp Bro I got tired of reaching my daily limit quickly, so I integrated the GLM4.7 model from Z.ai — a powerful model with a very cheap subscription price — into Claude itself, and now I’m enjoying Claude’s services with an external AI model

Computer use is now in Claude Code. Claude can open your apps, click through your UI, and test what it built, right from the CLI. Now in research preview on Pro and Max plans.

@vitaliidodonov Launch

I wrote an e-book: "The 14 Day Revenue Launch Playbook" - 19 pages showing $0 to $10K MRR in 2 weeks - Exact day-by-day breakdown of how I did it - Could charge $100’s for this, but FREE for the next 24 hours only Like + Reply "LAUNCH" and I'll DM you the full PDF for free!

Most founders waste months perfecting products nobody sees. Distribution! not product is the real growth lever. *Jure* built Rummer, Parakeet AI, and Optivase after leaving Microsoft. He launched 4 businesses and scaled them to $60K/month using speed and viral content. *Pick one channel and go all in* He ignored ads and focused entirely on TikTok, IG, and YouTube. *Engineer virality* Test hooks, formats, and endings then repeat what works. *Launch before you’re ready* Ship an MVP fast and aim for your first sale in 2 weeks. *Iterate based on real users* Sales and feedback guide product direction not assumptions. One product generated *300M organic views → $300K revenue* . His first business scaled from *$700 to $12K in 3 months.* Build fast and distribute faster. The winners aren’t the smartest, they’re the fastest to test and adapt. Credits: @starter_story
