Hi everyone! I’m Rodrigo, founder engineer of First Answer 👋 The idea was born when I realized how much I was already using GPT to guide everyday decisions, from choosing the right running shoes to deciding which API to integrate into a project. That’s when it clicked: the future will be increasingly tied to AI models, while traditional search will lose relevance. In the very first tests, I had...

7 lessons I learned building a product from scratch

1. Speed is everything. Don’t spend weeks debating features. Ship the minimum that delivers value and get it into users’ hands fast. 2. One active user is worth more than ten inactive ones. Real feedback beats vanity metrics every single time. 3. Don’t be afraid to fail. At this stage, mistakes are cheap. Test, iterate, adjust. 4. Build in public (when you can). Sharing your journey attracts...

Really appreciate how you broke this down so clearly, especially the SEIS point, a lot of first-time UK founders don’t realize how powerful that is for de-risking early angel investment. The investor FAQ tip is gold too; I’ve seen it save founders so much time and keep messaging consistent. Out of curiosity, did you find LinkedIn outreach brought in more warm leads than cold introductions...

I’ve always appreciated how Loom handles it — they give a clear heads-up before the trial ends, then keep your existing videos accessible while nudging you with small reminders about premium features you’re missing. It feels respectful, not pushy, and actually makes me more inclined to upgrade later because they’ve kept the door open. I think the key is showing users the value they’d gain...
