i am going to build a platform to practice arithmetic since i want to train my own mental math skills in ways other platforms simply don’t provide

my first real success took ~7 minutes 100% locally deployed Model: ollama/qwen3:8b Tokens: 15k in / 637 out Cost: $0.0000

barely running Qwen3:8B on my 16GB M3 experimenting on minimal openclaw setup with this using codex to tweak and fix it slow tedious process but real progress

@maubaron my app solves my problems but i need to pivot more towards distribution

NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR PERFECT LITTLE APP nobody cares you quit your job for it nobody cares you spent a year coding it nobody cares you drained your savings for it nobody cares it's been your dream since you were 12 the only thing users care about is ARE YOU SOLVING A PROBLEM FOR ME? are you making my life better? are you letting me do something i already do much faster? easier? simpler? are you making me look smarter, richer, desirable? but here's the part most founders miss NONE of that matters if nobody knows you exist it's not that you shouldn't pour your soul into the product (pls do) but if you're not obsessing over distribution with the same energy you give the product you'll be building in the dark and the market will never tell you if any of it was worth it

@stats_feed @grok wasn’t Bluetooth actually invented by a Dutch person?

@jeffdo Everyone needs a good story

Everyone loves a good story

@FinishingThingz love to see it !! i spotted that you started on my bday haha. keep it up :)

ok locked in what my app’s v1.0 is. already far into building it but i keep trying to add more and more. at least now the pieces will start to converge

@FinishingThingz won’t let you or any of my followers down!!📈📈

crazy it’s been a year since this. quit and restarted the webapp a few times, now pivoted to mobile app. time to ship and finish builds instead of endlessly iterating in circles. also finally going to engage here. dms open :) the future is now. at least uni is all good lol

@skyevibes needed this thx.

hmm view:download depends on having the right CTA in the video or the comments.. most people complaining about low view:download have almost no CTA anywhere, and no CTA means you’re just posting content, not running a funnel ofc with multiple funnels it gets hard to see which videos actually drive downloads unless you track them for video specific view:download.

@alexcooldev no worries! the price was simply too good to pass on. GL at the @HackerResidency, I’ll be following from the sidelines. thanks for the lil shout:)

Bro actually just subscribed to me 🙂‍↕️ But honestly, I have no idea what to post for my subscribers yet still, thanks bro 🤝 now i have $3 MRR

@ColinMaddenUGC literally just saw an ad for this on snapchat and thought someone here made it. small world lol

We didn’t stop at top 5. We didn’t stop at top 3. We went for number one, kept pushing the content and hiring new creators This is the results:

@FinishingThingz love the setup !

@AladdinMhir You were def right about some plot twist Lol with the course being free now

Man to man: $3.6M/mo = $43.2M/yr Why are you promoting a f course then? “economic incentive” sounds soo greedy to me. Just open-source the playbooks and charge for support only. You’re basically monetizing an audience instead of making it public. IF THIS IS GONNA BE A PLOT TWIST M GONNA DEF LOSE IT LMAO.

@t4nm4y_k haha i was checking the app store for it after seeing your post but couldn’t find it since it’s still under review. good luck with that, i’ll definitely try it out once it’s ready. keep up the great work!

✅Day 38: building + marketing my 1st app 284 followers | $0 MRR ➡️ Submitted Dreamblend for App Store 🎉 Also rolled out the latest version on Play Store. ➡️ Optimized the Play Store listing, updated the copy and screenshots to match the latest features. ➡️ Continued posting on TikTok and IG, still not seeing much traction. Hoping Dreamblend gets approved on the App Store soon🤞

@hamptonism I literally sneezed while reading this. Hmm

I don’t like allergies you should stop having them.

@bethgenewang @pmfordie @omarwasm @blakeandersonw @zach_yadegari Nice summary Beth ! Lfgooooooo 👌👌

Taking a nature walk and listening to @PMFordie on cofounding and building – highlight of my weekend. jolted down some notes 👇 Big thanks to @omarwasm @blakeandersonw @zach_yadegari for the inspiration 🔥

@bethgenewang @pmfordie it’s called picture in picture mode ! i’m on firefox but it should work on Chrome etc as well, most browser have this build-in. a square button appears whenever i however over the stream / a video. click that and it should detach from the player itself !

@ouiouisami @pmfordie How did you setup that little popped-up window? Rly neat!

locked in. 24/7 live coding by @pmfordie in the background keeping me sane
