Be ridiculously generous to users who send feedback. They love it, and often leave App Store reviews without you even asking. And listening your users is a great way to save time. Here's why: - You stop guessing what to do next. Users just tell you. - Fixing minor issues can boost retention more than you expect. - When you send them an offer code or help them directly, they're way more likely to tell their friends about your app. Most importantly: The majority of improvements that actually moved my conversion rate came directly from user feedback.

@joshjfish Chiang mai is also amazing! I have lived there for a few months. I don’t know about buenos Aries

@ouzdor Are there a lot of builders there ? I’ve working in Thailand and Buenos Aires and found Chiang Mai good for building

Things that actually improved my daily life and workflow - ignoring most growth advice and doing what works for me - living in SEA, especially Bali: lower stress, better routine, more room to experiment - lifting weights, which turned out to be way more important than I expected - doing the actual work instead of organizing productivity apps - focusing on one thing at a time - getting enough sleep

@ChadXMindset Lifting weights really even changed how I think about things in general. When you have a chance you can travel, it doesn’t have to be SEA, can be anywhere outside of your country

@ouzdor As you said about lifting weights, it's much more important that it seems and if I only had little time to train I would prioritise that. The other tips seem great too. Have not tried living in SEA so maybe that is of the future.

@devanshujain_ Hey thanks Devan!

@ouzdor Having the ability saying NO is so important! Btw the setup looks awesome man!

@joshjfish For me Thailand is great but only for vacations, I can live in Vietnam in terms of food, weather, culture. But Indonesia-Bali is best match for me right now because also community is great

@ouzdor Bali vs thailand vs vietnam?

@ScientificSaaS Choosing who’s gonna be at your environment is really healthy way to make your life better

@ouzdor meeting and working with friends for me was by far the biggest unlock

@mubeenchatthaa Bali is amazing, it changed my life.

@ouzdor i was about to ask that is this bali and saw you mentioned already. it looks great.

@codie_awa Yes you gotta figure out what works for you

@ouzdor Now, this is more than advice, I am slowly beginning to notice that there is no shoe size that's fits all. The best is learning as you fail

@robj3d3 Happy birthday Rob!

I just turned a 1/4 of a century old 🥳

@TinaMrak @andi_losing caffeine keeps the mac awake only if lid is open, i need something to keep the mac open even if lid is close, also screen should be off

@ouzdor @andi_losing There’s an app called caffeine that helps with this :)

i factory reset my old macbook setting it up so it’s reachable 24/7 from my phone, so i can use claude and codex from anywhere and keep shipping any recommendations for the setup? :)

@TakoTreba Happy birthday Sandra! 🎊

Heeyyy, it’s my birthday. I just turned 29. wild. A few things that got me here: - be super passionate - surround yourself with absolutely amazing people - try to live as simply as possible - learn all the time, like really learn Have great friends. Take care of your health. Exercise. (I am so slacking here.) Also, so much love for @chatbase and the amazing people on the @chatbase team. Love for @d4m1n, who has been one of the most amazing and influential person in my growth, and for building @morningmakersho with me. And so much love and appreciation for my lovely baby and my partner, who is the most supportive man ever. Love you all. Now back to work.

@aliosmandev Hope you can make it work, have fun in Bali 🏝️

I didn't expect GLM-5.2 to change my workflow The surprising part wasn't the code quality. It was how good it felt for tool calling, MCPs, and general daily work. For most tasks outside serious problem solving, we probably don't need the strongest AI coding models. We need the cheapest model that reliably gets simple work done. I used to reach for Codex - GPT-5.5 for almost everything. Now I barely do.

@Asym_Alwali Its life changer for me

@ouzdor Wow never thought about moving to SEA is really awesome bro, ik inspired.

@burninganna it's like a different version of "how i make xxx thousand dollars by using this ai tool" (gonna promote his product)

every "I'm looking for X startups to invest in this week" post is just engagement bait

@mikestrives the math checks out but finding those customers is where everyone gets stuck

find something people hate doing build software that automates it charge $49 a month get 1,700 customers make $1,000,000

@sophie_launch been learning this the hard way distribution > product every single time

DAILY REMINDER: the SaaS graveyard is full of great products with zero distribution.

@vladsiu that is a really solid success, now time to focus on retention, congrats!

My app TinyDebt reached a new milestone, 1k new users in 28 days 🎉
