Something super exciting we've been working on for a while! Excited to finally launch this

Visit all the places, eat all the food, read all the books, make all the friends, gather all the fame, support all the causes, build all the products, earn all the money... ...to see that the quality of your life is what it is when you are doing nothing.

One of the things I realized is that if things aren't done immediately they likely won't happen. Either do it now, or it'll be forever stuck in your todolist.

@itsTimWijaya Great thread!

Gua sempet bikin app buat tuker2an voucher. Aplikasi ini gagal total. Here's what I learned: 1. Indo F&B businesses don't want a tech product Waktu gua interview merchant, semuanya bilang hal yang sama: “Menarik nih, boleh dicoba.” Tapi pas app-nya udah jadi, ternyata mereka gak peduli sama sekali. Bahkan ada yang minta dikasih insentif (dibayar) biar pake aplikasi kita. Bukan kita yang dibayar merchant, tapi kita yang membayar merchant. Tapi ya…merchant maunya gratisan, gak mau bayar. So kalo merchant gak mau bayar, how to get revenue? Mau ga mau, kita charge lewat komisi. Contohnya, kalo ada user yang transaksi IDR 100k karena aplikasi kita, kita ambil 2%. Makes sense kan? Tapi artinya, tiap transaksi cuma dapet Rp2.000. Untuk dapet Rp1 miliar revenue, kita butuh 500.000 transaksi. Dan itu berarti ratusan ribu user dan ratusan merchant, which means harus bakar duit gila-gilaan. Gue harus pusing & kerja keras selama itu, buat revenue yang ga seberapa. It's just not worth it. 2. Consumers don't need another rewards app Reward apps are one of those things people say they want, but never actually use. Pas kita launch beta, banyak orang download karena gimmick “free voucher tiap hari.” Tapi yang benar-benar redeem? Dikit banget. Dari 100 user, maybe 12–20 orang yang redeem per minggu. Dengan komisi Rp2.000 per transaksi, total revenue paling Rp40.000. Kocak kan? Mending jualan tempe goreng cuyy. Dan masuk akal kenapa: Orang udah punya terlalu banyak pilihan tempat makan. Rewards app dengan 15–20 merchant gak akan menarik. Kalo mau, kita harus punya ratusan merchant sejak hari pertama, dan itu cuma bisa kalau kita bakar duit. 3. Kesalahan gua: fokus ke hal yang salah Pelajaran ini cukup painful, tapi jujur sepenuhnya bisa dihindari. Gua harusnya bisa tahu ide ini gak bakal jalan dalam 2–3 minggu, bukan setelah 6 bulan kerja. Kesalahan gua: too much building, too little thinking. Tahun lalu gua lagi semangat belajar desain & product, bisa berjam-jam ngulik UI di Figma. Harusnya gua spend more time on thinking about the business. Ujungnya, customer cuma peduli sama satu hal: apakah produk lo valuable & solve a real problem. Good design helps. But it’ll never save a bad business idea.

I am hyped up for this. Can't wait

Operator’s really cool but slow so we built a better one over the weekend

In an ocean of similarly capable AIs, it's unsurprising that we prefer the one where it shows how it thinks.

The Boom XB-1 was built by a team of just 50 people. Many of them joined Boom right out of college.

This is gold

@irfan3 Curious as to what specifically are in these 2 buckets 😂

At the moment, there's no overlap between things I want to work on vs things that will make money 😂

you can waste your entire life overthinking it: the window will slam shut, they will move on, your coffee will get cold, and you get tired and old. just act decisively, stop thinking so much.
