ethan

finally getting some traction on here so I want to do a quick intro for those who don't know me: my name is Ethan and this summer I got rejected from 289 internships tired of the system and inspired by twitter people, I decided to launch my first real app: failmail.pro it ended up trending #1 on r/csMajors and did ~250k impressions across LinkedIn, Twitter and Reddit this was the moment I realized you can literally just build and launch stuff fast forward to today, and I'm building a17.so with the most cracked high schoolers I know we already have one consumer app that is printing, another just launched, and a third in pipeline I'm 19 and somehow the OLDEST on our team at this point the question isn't if we'll hit $1M ARR, but rather when outside of building, I'm lowkey just a pretty chill guy I like to code and go to the gym dms are always open :)

@isaac_tolley17 @ycombinator @MarshallJGould 🔥 congrats bro

We are joining @ycombinator to support 1B people living with chronic disease. Growing up, I remember hating hospitals. I went to endless doctor's appointments but never got any answers to why I was always ill. Today, over 1B people live with chronic disease, waiting months for an appointment and ~8.6 years for a diagnosis. So @MarshallJGould and I decided to build @junocompanion, an AI clinical specialist providing 24/7 private healthcare, for everyone Built on our research at Oxford and UCL, to: - understand your entire health history - identify triggers + patterns in your condition - provide support that makes sense for your body Incredibly proud to have supported over 50,000 people globally with their health Share with a loved one today :)

Introducing SideShift Go. Allowing businesses to message, track, and pay their creators all from the SideShift mobile app. I've been running a few personal campaigns myself and have honestly been using SideShift Go almost as much as the classic desktop version. Highly recommend to all of our customers who want to become even more tapped in with their creators.

@nicholasnlawton video so tough 🔥

i probably shouldn't disclose this but eff it, feeling generous today we recently changed out our model provider fal with kie.ai they are 20 - 40% cheaper vs fal and replicate and if you purchase credits in bulk, you can get another 10% off fal is still running as a backup in case kie isn't as reliable as they claim - but so far been very happy with uptime :)

I know a few high-growth apps looking for cracked growth marketers If that’s you, DM me!

90% of all the networking events i ever went to were a complete waste of time just lock in and build cool shit and you’ll naturally come in contact with the other people building cool shit

@rafahari @retrodotapp toughghh

We're testing this new intro to play when you first launch @retrodotapp ✨ The idea is to "set the mood", communicate what Retro is about, and slow you down: • Plays haptics on every photo beat, decreasing in intensity and sharpness, so you "feel" it calm down. • The script is dynamic, it adapts to the apps that you have installed on your device. • The soundtrack starts with literal noise that we turn down to focus on _what matters_. • During onboarding we're gonna ask for some iOS permissions, hopefully this helps create some trust • Fun as heck to build 🕺

10 months after our launch, we’ve finally added self-serve trials to viral.app If you’ve ever wanted to test what we have to offer for your UGC, there’s no better time to take a look than now Ultra now also comes with full API access and forever data retention 🚀

today, we launched SideShift Bootcamp! a gamified training engine directly within the creator mobile app and web app to take any new creator from 0-100 see you don't actually need to find creators, you can just build them from scratch. some of our top creators, didn't even know was "talking style" was 6mo ago, and now they make 4-5 figures a month via SideShift. creator quality over the next few months is going to drastically increase for all of our brands + agencies.

product hack: turn every empty state into a CTA Never have empty text like “Nothing to see here” or “No recent activity” by itself Instead add buttons below each text block like “post your first photo”, etc

hiring a full time growth operator for my mobile app ($170k/mo) we’ve grown through influencer marketing, now i need someone to own it while i focus on product and new channels you’ll work closely with me and our VA team must be hungry, know social media, and love building systems dm me

@jayvraavi @AppStore toughhhh 🔥

Moving into new 5,000 sqf office in TriBeCa If anyone wants to come cook up on all things UGC related hmu We’ve got an open desk for you

@mdnlabs recime type app? def one of the better formats to automate with ai ugc if so imo

AI UGC + App Demo = $$$ At least I think so lol. I'm still figuring out my own workflow. It's disgustingly inefficient right now but I'm okay with that. Learning the ropes is tiring. Will get to a point of fast movement soon.

Introducing core.so (oss apache 2.0) We’re building the future of an AI-native workspace. We rebuilt functionality from Slack, Linear, and Notion. Our vision is simple: centralize context so small teams can work more efficiently with agents.
