Hi everyone!

I m launching Movitalis soon an activity tracker app focused on longevity, currently available only on iOS. The most common question I get is: When will it be available on Android? And, unfortunately, my honest answer is: I don t know . Here's why:

Is making money the only measure of an app’s success?

A successful product is often seen as one that is well-commercialized, with users willing to pay for it. But is that always the case?

Today, I came across many products that are incredibly fun and creative. It made me wonder: are there products that don t fit the conventional definition of success? Maybe some exist just to bring joy, even if users simply visit, smile, and leave.

Some might argue that if something brings value, people will naturally be willing to pay. But is that always true?

What’s your take on Telegram?

Hey folks! Some friends of mine are launching a self-care wellness app built as a Telegram mini app. They're based in Eastern Europe, where Telegram is hugely popular and widely used for all sorts of things. They asked for my help in marketing it globally but I'm hesitant. Living in the US, I mostly see Telegram associated with sketchy stuff: black market services, shady job offers, etc. It has a pretty bad rep here. So I'm wondering Is it just me? How is Telegram perceived in your country? And if someone you trust recommended a really good app, would the fact that it's on Telegram be a dealbreaker for you? Would love to hear your thoughts before I commit to helping them.

Help me quit Chrome

I've been using @Google Chrome for years and honestly never thought much about changing. It just always seemed like the best and easiest option. Lately though, I've been feeling like maybe I'm missing out. Chrome doesn't feel like the no-brainer pick anymore, and I'm seeing more and more interesting browsers out there.

Currently, @Horse is my top pick. This is the one I'm most interested in trying out, but it also seems like a pretty different approach. I don't necessarily want my productivity to dip, but that may just be inevitable whenever switching.

Are AI comments a (good) future for social media?

Today I read this message:
Instagram has just added the ability to write comments with AI.

A similar option LinkedIn has (it offers pre-written recommended comments like "Congratulations")
