@offpaths So far... kinda love it

@dayonefoundry oh I am thinking of doing Hong Kong. tell us how it goes bro.

Need Hong Kong and Taipei recs for a first timer ⬇️

@wickedguro 100k is a nicer rounder number

Such a round and nice number

The Indie Hacker community in Da Nang is growing in both headcount and MRR

@martinrue Massive FOMO

It’s non-stop in Da Nang and Hackanang is getting big! Such amazing energy right now. 🔥

@signulll I’m a world where marketing is prioritized over product and hype over substance.

most startups treat their launch as the story. it’s definitively not.. it should be just the opening line. what actually happens now is that there is typically one big launch video, then silence, then occasional product announcements that nobody asked for & nobody remembers. there’s no connective tissue. each piece of content has to justify itself from zero because there’s no accumulated world for it to inhabit. what you should be doing is designing the launch as chapter one of a long book… i.e. don’t fucking create a standalone film. every week you’re adding a page to that damn book.. this is a feature, a use case, a small revelation about what the product knows & why that matters. the content continues. what does this do? well this compounds like hell. audiences who follow a narrative become invested in its resolution. they feel the absence when a chapter’s missing. that’s a completely different relationship than “i saw their launch video once.” this is what we will do with skye.

@PhilHedayatnia added them all to the map

@yikudoxyz but isn't the downside there just standing in line the whole trip?

@dayonefoundry Taipei night markets are a masterclass in product market fit. Just follow the longest line and you will not miss.

@lilianbuilds lmfao! no gyms. yes mcdonalds. got it

@dayonefoundry taiwan: don’t take free 90min trials at gyms that use face recognition entry if you leave even 1 minute late the machine won’t let you out unless you sign a 6-month contract

@elonmusk If X is to be the everything app it will need its own app store

iOS App Review delays are getting ridiculous

@nikitabier 90% of the time its less than 24 hours and 10% of the times it's more than 7 days. Their queue system is definitely broken

iOS developers: How long is App Review taking for everyone these days? It is now taking longer to get our app approved than it is to build the actual features.

@_baretto template apps and template distribution "why am i not rich yet?"

@dayonefoundry I also think theres a lot of "template distribution" going on. Bro, just making reels for your app with a hot girl ain't gonna cut it no more...

My hot take is that we've already overcorrected and now people are focusing too much on distribution and not enough on product

@jogicodes airport cool af

@dayonefoundry The runway is "cool" apparently

It's kinda funny that digital nomads don't consider themselves tourists. "Cool" translates to avocado toast places and "Tourist" translates to Asian tourists. That giant "Cool" yellow patch on the map is an area literally called An Thuong Tourist Town lmfao

@phuctm97 Yeah it's finding that balance. I always ask people: how many of your ideal customers already know about the product but don't use it because it's not good enough?

@dayonefoundry Man, I feel the same. Especially with AI, the quality of the product is being taken to lightly now. It's tricky because many parts of the product won't matter at all regardless of how good they are, but for the parts that matter, it should be built with care & craft.

@pmarca do as i say not as i do

A lot of you need to do more introspection, obviously.

@dvassallo There's a lesson here. Invest early and compound. It's already more than half of his income

A beautiful portfolio of small bets:

@bardonadam I only go where the locals go 🥰

@dayonefoundry I'm not a tourist, I'm a traveler 😎

@jacobmparis I agree in theory. But comparing the reality of living here vs the classifications on the map, it's very clear that a very small homogenous demographic contribute to this map

@dayonefoundry There’s definitely a difference between short term vacationers wanting to see all the landmarks and someone living there for months who’s more interested in coffee, gyms, and workspaces touring is an activity

@ryan_nguyen200 yeah the whole map is off. it's crowdsourced i dont think anyones updated it in a while. The 1 comment on the map is from 6 years ago

@dayonefoundry The rich area doesn’t seem right.
