I woke up this morning, and our product was the #2 Product of the Day on @ProductHunt The crazy part? We launched by mistake. We had 0 marketing and budget and had exams tomorrow. We proved that two students in a hostel room can compete with venture-backed teams Grateful🙌

Writing code was the easiest task in building Startup 😭😅 Figuring out the most difficult task 👍

@alex_lrz_nmv Your work is amazing! Keep writing more about it 🗣️

@letstwitayush Thanks! Seems that people like my stories, maybe I'll write more 👀

This is my burn out story 👀 2 months ago I was working on this thumbnail generator called PeekPak. I already spent 6months and $1000+ figuring out how to train a diffusion model to make thumbnails, and finally did it. Thumbnails were good, really good for less than $0.5 each 👇

Did I cook?

@alex_lrz_nmv A lot of bots or people just chase numbers. They’ll follow you hoping for a mutual, but if you don’t follow back, they’ll unfollow. It’s basically a numbers game, not genuine connection

Why do so many people unfollow on X? It's been 2 days I'm on the platform and already have 10+ unfollow. I mean what's the point to follow someone and unfollow 2 days later? Just curious 👀

@alex_lrz_nmv Ship it 👍

@letstwitayush Overthinking for now 😢

Avoid these mistakes at any cost... We ranked #2 on PH still having barely paying user. Reason: 1. Wrong selection of ICP (Ideal customer profile) 2. Marketing to the wrong people 3. Not doing marketing enough. Distribution >>> Development Show up ✅ Perfection Later ❌

@alex_lrz_nmv It's an AI study app built for students. Check the link in bio What you're building?

@letstwitayush Great advice, what's the product? 👀

ICP selection is very important. Think again before marketing randomly 🤡

What I’m focusing on now: - Talking directly to a specific user problem - Making content that filters people, not attracts everyone - Strong, obvious CTA (not hidden somewhere) - Measuring signups > impressions Going viral feels good. Not effective every time

- Broad content reaches everyone. But your product is for someone specific. - No clear conversion path = wasted attention Even if someone is interested, if there’s no strong CTA or flow, they’re gone in seconds. and

Went viral… but got almost zero real users. Here’s what I learned. So recently one of our posts blew up. We got ~100k+ impressions and ~65k people reached in just a few days. Engagement looked amazing on paper. Earlier, We got more users with poor engmt post I used to think:

@defi_dua @AnswersAi_ai @quizlet Huge congratulations 🎉👏

I’m pleased to announce that @AnswersAi_ai has been acquired and our Team SF is joining @quizlet We started this journey 3 years ago as Juniors at Cal and UCLA as a hackathon project and built our way through Senior year, three offices and more. I’m proud of our team that got us 2M Users, 1M followers, 2 Billion views and $3.5M+ across our lifetime. We’re grateful for our investors, supporters and team that took a bet on us, starting with my co founders. Thank you to Kurt Beidler, Ismail Orujov and the entire Quizlet team for taking a bet on us. We continue our journey there alongside the incredible @satapathy_dev_ , @DanielBerezhnoy and @angeldzzz23 Always day one as we continue making a dent in the universe

Cal AI has been acquired by MyFitnessPal 🚨 Henry and I started Cal AI as 17-year old high school students with one mission: make calorie tracking easier with AI. In just 18 months, we’ve helped millions of people lose millions of pounds. And we broke $50m in ARR along the way. We are at an incredible inflection point in history where ANYBODY can build a product that can improve lives and make millions. As founders, we get a lot of praise. The truth is that this would not have been possible without our incredible 30+ person team. We are so proud of what this team has accomplished, and are thankful to everyone that has been instrumental in Cal AI’s development and success. Cal AI will continue as a separate app from MyFitnessPal. The combined team will share resources to continue helping people achieve their fitness goals!

Couldn't agree more 🥰

@openclaw just acquired by @OpenAI Another reminder You don’t compete with platforms You position around them AI isn’t model vs model anymore It’s ecosystem vs ecosystem If you’re building in AI are you fighting the giants… or leveraging them? Curious to hear thoughts. 👇

@zuess05 Great start! Good luck ✨🔥
