    Am I violating the Law of Effection with a micro niche strategy?

    MARKETING 
    Especially in software, it's very easy to set out to make, as you say, a PM app for lawyers in Kentucky, and then once you get a foothold in the market, expand to West Virginia (or whatever). There's a big advantage to hyper-targeting a market; you can focus your app, your marketing efforts...

    Coding Bootcamp (€5.5k): Yeah, or ney?

    QUESTION 
    Wow that's pricy. Personally, I wouldn't spend 40% of your savings on this, there are just so many free or cheaper options to get you started (codeacademy, skillshare, etc etc etc). I'd suggest at least picking the basics up from one of them and if you enjoy it, then maybe a more intensive...

    Totally disagree about the freedom thing. We’re doing better than everyone else right now. That was meant to come off as friendly banter. Sorry, tone is hard to convey sometimes.

    The Free State of Florida welcomes you with open arms, pothead. I assume, anyway, I don't actually know anything about cannabis laws here beyond that its legal medically and fairly easy to get a scrip for.

    I keep saying over and over that ChatGPT (or LLM AI in general) as it is currently isn't a concern for software developers and I finally found a good example: View: https://twitter.com/charlierward/status/1638303596595892224 Here's a twitter thread of a startup founder who used ChatGPT to...

    A Job Isn’t Giving Up

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    You're not giving value to anyone if you're struggling to eat and pay the bills. I've been there. Despite what some people will tell you, fear isn't that great a motivator, and customers/clients will smell the desperation on you.

    Consultant from Unscripted

    MINDSET SLOWLANE SCALING 
    Alan Weiss is real big on the retainer concept as well. If you're in a knowledge field, getting a business to pay $x per year just to be able to call or email you with questions, sounds pretty good to me. My consulting businesses never got there though; I was building apps for money and couldn't...

    Web Design Agency Victory; Next step: TCG Company + App Creation.

    IDEA SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    It's a wild time to be attempting what it sounds like you're attempting. ChannelFireball's store going away, TCG getting bought by eBay and doing the whole union thing. Seems like a lot of opportunity to me. I got the same impression as you when I did all my research. Why is there so...

    How to deal with the new AI era?

    QUESTION 
    Stop listening to other peoples opinions on it and use it yourself. Content creators have a vested interest in hyping this up, because all they really want is for lots of people to click on their link. Start forming your own opinions and you’ll realize, from a development standpoint, it’s a...

    is my app too controversial? Need help

    IDEA EXECUTION 
    I can't say I'm too surprised that you launched this on Reddit, based on the reviews. What you've made is effectively a way to semi-anonymously trash politicians. It's always fun to scream into the void for a little bit, but what exactly is going to bring people back to your site after the...

    New "User Power" Metric Live (thanks ChatGPT)

    There’s a way to approximate square roots arithmetically called Heron‘s method. I had my robot assistant write it in xenforo template syntax: {{! Define a function to calculate the square root using the Heron's method }} {{ function sqrtHeron(number) }} {{ set initialGuess = 1 }} {{ set...

    Why won't people come back to my app?

    IDEA EXECUTION QUESTION 
    This is definitely something you want push notifications for. It’s not surprising that your users are forgetting to come back; it’s a cool idea but not something that engages them in a daily basis. Send a push when a new prompt goes up (use timezones and user metrics to figure out the best time)...

    Wow, that's desperately-start-kicking-subscribers-off-your-list brutal. It doesn't seem like costs should go up with subscribers, not like that anyway. I wonder if there's some liability issue, like lists with 10k+ are more likely to get hit with automated spam filtering rules or something...
