@yongfook I literally had the same thoughts with it.

I just signed up for the UK gov "one login" and it's an absolute masterclass in UX. No sarcasm. It gracefully handles handoff to a mobile app for facial verification, identity document capture (with multiple options) and handles all sorts of edge cases. Every time I felt "I bet if I click this the form will reset and I lose my data" it all just worked. Super clear language and UX, at no point was I frustrated or lost. The UK might be in decline as of late, but we still have greatness within us somewhere!

First-session experience matters more than any feature on your roadmap Users decide whether they care before you get a second chance Design for impatience Assume zero attention span If users do anything it’s a miracle

If you want to be rewarded, you have to be irreplaceable. If you want to be irreplaceable, you have to be unique. If you want to be unique, you have to be authentic. If you want to be authentic, stop listening to everyone and everything else. It’s drowning “you” out. @naval

Yesterday I took some time and gave TrustMRR a full redesign (trustmrr.vercel.app) – cleaner layout, better flow, more modern vibe. @marclou What do you think of this fresh take? Would love your thoughts/feedback! Check it live: trustmrr.vercel.app

When EVERYONE can spin up claude code & build apps... Winning becomes even easier. Why? Because only 1% will: > get it production-ready > talk to customers > handle support > ship v2, v3, v10 > show up every day > & stick with it for years It's like the gym. Millions sign up. Very few see results.

Been rethinking my strategy for 2026 a lot. A few days knocked out with a HWS blockage gave me something rare: time to stop, reflect, and reprioritise. First revenue for @FocusMap_ is in. Launched on Product Hunt. 10 sales in December. That’s 245€ with lifetime deals. Not huge, but real. And validated. I’ve got plenty of other ideas. Some might work. None of them are proven. Some founders build 10 products and wait for one to hit. That works for them. It doesn’t work for me. I’ve got <10 hours a week for my side hustle. 9–5 as a team lead + family + building = limited bandwidth. And the HWS blockage taught me something else: You can’t hustle every free minute. No breaks → no clarity. No rest → no flow. No health → no progress. Then @AlexHormozi told me: 1/ Don’t split attention across 4 bets when 1 is paying. 2/ Scale what already works. That clicked. So here’s the rule for 2026: Get FocusMap to 3k MRR. Everything else pauses. New ideas go on the idea list. No side bets. No distractions. Focused work in limited time. Enough rest to stay on track. That's how my 2026 will look like. Hbu? How do you wear all hats with a side-hustle?

I Left my job and life in the uk. I’m betting on myself. 2026 is the year to build my business with my best friends, shipping, and experiences with new people. I’m going to post and document everything through my videos on X. @robj3d3 and @levelsio, thanks for the motivation to push myself out of my comfort zone. It’s going to be lit!

I just saw this and smiled. Here’s the backstory: When John and I started Stan, we did not have much audience. No viral threads, big email list or influencer boost. Mostly just the immigrant grind, frugality and sheer hustle. There was a time when we folded an IKEA table in an Airbnb, asking ourselves: "Are we building something that looks like a startup? Or something that actually helps people make a living?" And that question drove everything that followed. Early on in our journey to $30M ARR, we made a decision most advisors disagreed with. - No transaction fees. - Flat subscription. - $29/month People told us we were leaving millions on the table by not charging a transaction fee. Like every single one of our competitors. And guess what? They were right. We left the money there on purpose. Because we realized that the moment you take a cut, you’re no longer on the Creator’s side. You’re just the middleman. We wanted Creators to win more because they used Stan. Not win less because we skimmed the top. Trust compounds faster than revenue. That turned out to be true. As growth picked up, so did the pressure. “Hire faster”, “Build a big team”, “Spend to show momentum.” We ignored all of this. Instead, we asked one question over and over: "What breaks if we don’t hire?" Most of the time, the answer wasn’t “people” … but systems. So we instead, we automated and simplified.Deleted features. Built self-serve tools. Then, and only then, we hired. Today, Stan serves 80,000+ Creators: They make $200M+ per year using the platform. Three years into building, we celebrated: ~$30M ARR. ~30 people. ~7 engineers. And a relentless focus on: – trust – speed – product – and not doing work that doesn’t need to exist So when I see posts like “fastest-growing startup I’ve seen”… I get it. But the real story that needs to be told is not the one about speed. It’s restraint. We said no more than we said yes and we didn’t optimize for looking successful. What we optimized for was being helpful. And to create fundamental value for our customers. So yes, we didn’t build Stan with huge audiences. The Creators built it for us. One at a time. Over the years. And that, out of any ARR, MRR or GMV… That’s the only leaderboard that actually matters.
Marc Lou@marclou

This startup just claimed the #1 spot on TrustMRR's leaderboard 🥇 @vitddnv and @JayHoovy started Stan in 2022. It's a platform for creators to make money online (think Gumroad). Their pricing is dead simple: $29/month. They're now making $30M ARR (not GMV, but actual revenue) and have processed almost half a billion dollars for their users. It's the fastest-growing startup I've seen on TrustMRR.

i have been in the philippines for the last 2 weeks here’s the work i’ve got done in this time for a total estimated working time of less than 12 hours - revamped a lead campaign with help of a legend for @postbridge_ 90% of time on this lol - responded to all customer support emails (~5 a day) - pushed bug fixed for my couples app @lovelee_app - done zero marketing 😳 (tiktok phone back in canada) - SEO efforts kicking in bringing in steady customers still ($1k days still!! from year before of effort) (compounding) overall been extremely unproductive, this is technically a vacation with my fiancee and her family but there is some downtime between days as we are staying at her family home in the city. i feel super grateful i can do this and still make money during it, and even more greatful for the privilege i’ve been born into that is living in canada. i haven’t been building in public lately mostly cause im just trying to seek out the new experiences here while i can, i do feel 2 weeks would have been enough but now i will be super amped to really work when i get back home at the end of the month still wild the app i made a few months back is at $5k MRR and with NO marketing it’s been getting 800-1200 downloads a day still (word of mouth?) anywho! wanted to keep documenting this maybe one day ill make an archive of all these rants to look back on or make my 3rd book about best, jack

SEO is dead I’ve been hearing it every year since 2020 but 2024–2025 really turned the volume up - ChatGPT, AI overviews etc people were like “why would anyone search anymore?” the data says otherwise: - search volume has doubled since 2020 and we’re at ~6 trillion searches a year - ChatGPT does ~3B searches/day but that’s ~18% of Google’s daily search volume - organic search still drives ~53% of all website traffic and converts 8.5× better than outbound and yes, ChatGPT searches will obviously grow faster but every one of those answers still needs data to exist in the first place AI tools won't replace SEO - they depend on it they all pull from the same Google index, the same web pages, the same content ecosystem SEO created yes, things like AI Overviews reduce CTR, down to ~8% when they appear but they only show up on ~30% of desktop searches, mostly informational ones transactional searches still send clicks so SEO isn't dead, it just got a promotion from 10 blue links to training data
