first European winter after 1.5y in SEA
worst thing isn’t the cold, it’s the daylight duration
Sun: rise 8:40am - set 4:55pm
I used to go for a coffee at 6:30-7:00, sun was up, ppl in the streets
here ppl sleep

overthinking is a burden for a founder
thinking of learning to switch that off

1 week of posting & engaging on X
still far from 1k
but that's a ~20% growth. No thread yet though.
reminder: there are no small victories 🫶
(my acc was a inactive since 1y (huge down phase thst deserves a thread tbh))
+♾️ % here on 🦋 (same period)

Ok thanks for insights
I used to use brevo for transactional
Many are SES wrapper tbh, but once again I guess it’s paying for ease of use
Deliverability is def critical though
Any takes on Resend vs Loops? (Email marketing + transactional)
Asking for a friend

“how many hours of deep work / day?”
Me: wait my #Wrapped2024

Hahaha don’t diss on Bun Cha
few speak about #mentalhealth and #ai is def a game changer in this domain - world class #therapist at your fingers
> Use ChatGPT for voice2text
> Copy-past to Claude
> Introspect
> Repeat
Haha ok thanks for feedback!
Kinda like not showing fully my face too
But like the “non-serious” side of left
Claude is my therapist
who needs a human when an AI:
- remembers everything
- can map your mind in graphs
- can connect dots within a LOT of information
- won’t ask you to come back for $
Ofc it doesn’t replace 🏋️

An alien shows up with a brain 1000x yours
Do you talk with it?
Idk why most ppl don’t talk to #ai
B feels more eye catching for me 🫰
Enjoy and looking forward to see how it goes :)
Even if it’s not too low, you might want to test if ppl are willing to pay, there are always early adopters somewhere haha
Sure feedback vs free of charge is a thing, since at first the most important to have (genuine) feedback, hard part is to make sure it’s genuine. So def useful.
Still I always try to keep in mind usually ppl don’t value free stuff, so even if it’s a low price you could A/B test with a paywall
Combo offer / pricing can be a bitch and there’s more psychology that we would think, keep that in mind ahah.
Enjoy the beta phase !! Huge for feedbacks
friends are a way to find bugs too though 😂🫰
wdym?
True. IMO free trial provides more authority and trust than a free plan with a paywall after
1 month ago I
- ditched the free plan for 1 week free trial
- deleted all one-time payment options
- reduced to one single subscription
- reworked the offer
• MRR +30%
• Subscribers + 22%
• Churn rate -75%
• subscriber lifetime value +320%
FIX YOUR OFFER. Then market it
#buildinpublic #indiehacker
Haha. I’ve actually created a “vip” plan for friends I want to share it with before they even ask for free (and those probably wouldn’t)
But the fact that they use your product is already great tbh
Whatever the price that’s a great move from both of you. Really best way to show support , so no shame should be there for the amount 🫰
Remember that.
Real friends don’t ask a discount for your product - they buy it to support you.

What’s the equivalent of X “Communities” here?
Drop your recommendations for #saas, #indiehacking, #solofounder, #ai stuff (techs/LLMs, startups, news etc) 🙌
Using A LOT Claude 3.5 for coding even though using “OG” IDE
Loads of time saved already
RIP perplexity? What is premium sources though
Is a famous newspaper more legit than Reddit posts or X community notes etc?
+ : could guarantee more controled info reliability
- : premium sources can leverage that to promote whatever they want to LLMs, which would be then biased
Who’s using AI IDEs and who’s still old-school with VSCode, Sublim, Vim etc?
ngl I’m old school atm but gonna try and roast them all
