@csaba_kissi Yep, this is really close to my vision as well

AI changed everything.
No-coders became vibe coders
Senior developers are becoming software architects.

@adamlyttleapps I think time to time you in rush to measure results to make decisions. Recommendation: check what is "statistical significance".

Another day with no signups
I’m going insane. Initial results were strong. I really thought I cracked it.
Then followed by days of no trial signups.
I’m confused and questioning my life choices. Not really. But certainly feeling knocked down a few pegs
Only other lever I can think about right now is to test a lower price-point just to rule it out
From $49.99/yr to $29.99/yr
I have a baseline for $49.99 conversions. So I’ve added a feature to my custom built funnel to create a new cohort with the $29.99 price
I don’t want to get stuck in the same trap as Spesh. Where the price people would pay ended up being less than the cost to actually get them on the app.
Don’t mind me. I’m quietly going insane. But enjoying the learning.

Today had 0 trial signups 40 people viewed the funnel 48% engaged (proceeded past the first page) 16 viewed the paywall 0 trials

@RussianCarpets AI, in a current condition is a tool. That's it.
English
@aanton_usov The answer is no.
Stop being retarded. AI is shit.

automated list of @shipordie_ crew members! took me 36 hours to get filled as new account was throttled for making a list with 100+ people
also interesting: costs about $1 a month to automate (3x a day cron). go follow these legends!!!

@FDavidsonT I'm in travel industry for last 12 years. Would be nice to look.
English
I've spent my entire adult life thinking about travel. Built Sonder from the ground up as a college student to a $600M a year business in under 10 years.
For the last six months I've been obsessing over how AI will change travel. TLDR: it will change everything.
I've put together a stellar team and next week we're launching a preview of what we've built.
It's been a game changer for early testers.
Comment below for early access.

24+ hours in "Waiting for Review" on the App Store.
Is this the new normal? Used to be hours
English
looks like app store review times at @Apple are slow again 🙄
day 4 of "waiting for review" here
is it just us?

@seraleev I see exactly opposite. As soon as I release a new Language -> I very fast see a ASO boost in the country of that language.
English
Added 7 languages. Downloads dropped
> I decided to add localization for seven new languages
> the result has actually been a significant drop in downloads
Never happened in my experience. The developer made an ASO mistake somewhere.

@eliana_jordan Google TTD (Things To Do) such a crappy tool as tool iteslf. Starting from "upload catalog by SFTP" and up to that that change rules every couple of weeks.
But to make it fair: it still brings a decent traffic and bookings.
English
funny timing
While my yc post is going viral…
Be Underwater just became a google Things To Do partner
I almost didn’t apply because I thought:
“too hard”
“too small”
“not ready yet”
Glad I did it anyway
Now back to work
Eliana@eliana_jordan
applied to @ycombinator with Be Underwater meanwhile yc applications: “ex-google engineer building another ai wrapper” me: scuba instructor who learned to code to build the airbnb for scuba diving yc changed the game for airbnb… maybe it can change mine too

@adamlyttleapps Based on your recommendation 👍 Thank you, it works ✅

Let's see how this will go

App visibility issue in action:
App released this week. Appears in recommended search list
Doesn’t appear in search results
App Store Ads saves the day
Adam Lyttle@adamlyttleapps
It’s a visibility issue where you’re screwed twice: 1) App Store limits visibility for 6-12 months+ 2) Many categories are saturated Solution: Create a “visibility” App Store ads campaign: → Target exact match phrase for app title Your app will still appear on recommended search but may not appear in organic results. You gotta bump it to the top Create a “competitor” campaign: → Target exact match phrase of each of your competitors that appear in the recommend search list for your keyword Much cheaper to target when someone types “learn XYZ” and then taps a recommended result instead of targeting the keyword itself)
English
@marclou Still worth to remember that it could be correlation not causation
English
@eliana_jordan @ycombinator Btw, maybe we can collaborate at some point of time 😉

As I know it's not that many websites where you can book. LiveAbords, Padi. That's probably it.
I have feelings that a lot of ships(yachts, boats)/companies still not well represent online.
PS: In a month or so I'm going to book my next divie trip, I will take a look at BeUnderwater from a customer perspective ;)

@aanton_usov @ycombinator Yes! I do! I have 25 already on the waitlist! Why?
