    Side projects are stupid, but I started a SaaS project thanks to AI

    4-8% conversion rates sound pretty amazing. Productocracy. Got a question. How often do you get to add big features and update? Changing the software too often may cause some confusion among different users. I’m wondering about your process and timing. Features are based on user input, but not...

    My daughter had the flu, and I stayed home to work. This took a chuck of my productivity and almost stopped my progress. Being sick, whether it’s you or a loved one, can halt progress at this early stage and I need to find out how to handle this. How are you planning, organizing and executing...

    You probably know it already but the AI must be tamed to get the desired outcomes. I’ve noticed different LLMs and AI wrappers require slightly different taming techniques due to (1) their strengths and limitations of the LLM itself (ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini) and (2) the way AI agent is...

    I’m happy to see your progress. I wish I could test it on my iPhone soon, at the very least, or better, it would be really useful for my life as well.

    I’m hesitant to use AI agents like Cursor, Replit, Windsurf, Devin, and others because I’m not familiar with how they utilize user data to train their AI systems. I’m uncomfortable sharing all my source code with these companies, as anyone could potentially access my code indirectly through...

    @MJ DeMarco Drone technology is discussed during national security talks among policymakers A LOT along with the advanced chips. It’s concerning that most drones are manufactured in China too, while fewer are produced in the US because they can be repurposed for military use. I would invest in...

    I also use v0 by Vercel for my frontend. It can do heavy lifting coming up with functional UI in TS/TSX at first. I was able to create sophisticated logics and functions using v0 AI and ChatGPT in conjunction. v0 was useful only in the initial drafting. After I had a good backbone, I used...

    @Jobless Congratulations on closing and making your first sales to move beyond the idea phase! I’ve got a quick question. How do you and your team manage files and versions after each iteration (each iterations being add/edit the code -> test/debug -> success)? Do you use Git? Even as a solo...

    @MJ DeMarco , do you have any specific recommendations from the “101 MUST READ, UNDEREXPOSED BOOKS” list or from outside of that list on the topic of marketing? I know how to sell myself on the job interview but I've never sold a product or service before. Someone online once asked me how to...

    These are great insights, and I appreciate you sharing your experience and thoughts. Yeah you’re right that offering a high salary to initial employees would minimize equity dilution and $22 million doesn’t seem a lot any more. Thank you again @FierceRacoon !

    Hi @FierceRacoon thank you for your guidance and encouragement. This is definitely different perspectives (i.e. investors) and you are so right that companies will come and go in this industry. The founder of the competitor company is a serial entrepreneur, and according to the news, they’ve...

    I didn’t have a positive experience with Replit. I used it for a month or two, but I gave up on it despite the many praises from YouTube. As soon as the problem became challenging, Replit simply ignored my instructions. I couldn’t control the features for the app I’m building. Additionally...

    Thank you! @Kevin88660 And yes, I feel fortunate that I have a competitive advantage and I can add value. I’ve been working on this one project for the past 4-5 months, and it seems that my idea wasn’t so secret. Another startup is already out with the beta version gaining traction. So, my...

    I learned last night that a startup was recently launched doing essentially what I had planned to service. The flavor is different, and I’m certain that subsequent versions of the service would be different as well. This company (SuppCo) validates the market needs. Do you still recommend the...
