I ve been thinking a lot about the difference between AI as a recommendation engine vs. AI as an actual decision-maker in your wellness practice.
Most apps I ve seen use personalization to mean: you filled out a goals form at signup. That s it. Your state on day one defines every session you get on day 300.
On Friday I took my first salary as a founder. Paid by revenue. Not investment. My first one ever. So proud. Most startups die before they make $1. We ve been making revenue for 8 months. Even after pivoting from @Dolphin AI. I don t take this lightly. But it isn t about money. It s about the milestone. The fact that something didn t exist and now it does. Something people want. Are happy to pay for. And happy to be part of. @Pretty Prompt keeps surprising me week after week.
And it all started here on PH . If I could talk to my 2023 self, I d say: "Just keep pushing". Doesn t matter if you don t come from a CS degree, or didn t go to an Ivy League.
What matters is your ability to adapt, and move fast. This is proof. And I m super proud. I took my wife out for dinner. If I was motivated before Wait for what we ll do next with Charlie, my co-founder! Here s to the next Pretty milestone. And building things people want.
When we built OceanMind, we had a strong conviction: most meditation apps are too shallow. Real, lasting change required real, structured commitment.
So we built a full course movement practice, breathwork, then meditation all three done back-to-back. The science was solid. The results for users who actually completed it were remarkable. Sessions ran 30 45 minutes. We were proud of it.
Then we looked at our retention data. It was brutal.
According to @RevenueCat 's State of Subscription Apps 2026 report, "hard paywalls convert 5x better than freemium, but with significantly wider variance."
Day 35 download-to-paid, freemium vs. hard paywall
Does access method impact download-to-paid conversion within 35 days?
A story and an experiment have been spreading on X: Scientists uploaded the brain of a fruit fly into a computer, and now it lives freely in its own simulation.
We managed to clone the physical form of animals more than 30 years ago (for example, the cloning of a goat using SCNT in 1999). There was even a controversial case in China where a scientist was sued after attempting to create gene-edited babies in 2018.
A couple weeks ago, Boris Cherny (the creator of Claude Code) shared a bunch of really useful tips on getting the most out of Claude Code. #1 at the top of the list: do more in parallel. He himself runs 10-15 Claude codes in parallel.
His advice and practice makes sense: coding agents give us the ability scale infinitely. At this point, the only real limiter is our own ability to manage all of these agents.

A tagline is the first piece of content a user will see about your product on the leaderboard. It's so important that you get it right. You should be able to get a really solid idea of what your product is just by reading a handful of words.
In the spirit of forever optimising our taglines, I wanted to do a little experiment:
