Last night I opened LinkedIn for a moment, and at that moment, someone wrote to me who is going to relaunch a product after a year and a half. (Yes, I do not have anything to work on Friday night, don't blame me, I do not have a social life) :D
Needless to say, a lot has changed on this platform in a year.
I am a software developer with several years of experience building startups for founders and I always thought that's the hardest part.
Until recently when I decided to build my idea. It was easy for my experience. I built ChattaTrader, an app that allows you to generate bite-sized micro-courses with graphical representations, summaries, flashcards, and quizzes. It also allows you to create study groups and allow you challenge your colleagues in a 1v1 quiz contest. You can customise your summaries too.
I think it was Robert Kiyosaki who said that straight-A students end up working for C students, and B students work for the government.
On the other hand, we often see stories of college dropouts building billion-dollar companies. But these next big thing cases are maybe 2% at most. I believe top students usually find their place in more formal paths: becoming doctors, lawyers, and similar professions.
Dimension is a proactive AI assistant for engineering teams that removes context-switching.
It launched on Product Hunt this month, for the first time after months in stealth mode, got featured, ranked #2 Product of the Day, and #3 Developer Tool of the Week.
