In a recent issue of The Breakpoint, we talked quality software.

Does design matter to developers? In my opinion, yes. Take Stripe, Linear, and Resend for example. Both dev-first products made craftsmanship a first principle.

A few days ago, a community contributor reached out and said he'd built a Raycast extension for Vartiq, completely on his own.
Moments like this remind me why building in public and staying close to the community matter so much.
You can t be everywhere.
You can t build everything.
But your community can.
Seeing someone take Vartiq, extend it, and ship something useful for developers
That s the kind of energy that helps a product grow far beyond what any team can do alone.
Super grateful for everyone who s been supporting, experimenting, contributing, and sharing feedback.
This is how early-stage products evolve, not in isolation, but together.
The extension is now live here!

I m pretty sure most founders grow mainly on Twitter. Or LinkedIn.

But I ve realised it really depends on what kind of product you ve built.

If you re a fashion-focused founder, you probably grew up on Instagram or Pinterest.
