We re trying something new on Thursday: Alpha Day.

The idea is simple. If this is the first time you re launching your product anywhere, you can tag it alpha and get a boost to your points (and land on a special leaderboard).

I knew there was a gap here when I started building Room Service, but I honestly didn t expect this much interest.

What surprised me is that it s not just a developer problem anymore.

With all the AI tools, game dev workflows, and this whole vibe coding shift, a lot more people are running into the same thing: their Mac fills up, but they don t really know why. That s what I m trying to solve.

I've been going through hell for the last month. I was banned from LinkedIn for excessive activity.

• For 24 hours

• For 48 hours

• For 72 hours

• For 168 hours - currently waiting until Tuesday, 10 PM CET.

The only useful advice I've received from support is to be less active.

Hi!

I am a maker of Okan - Claude Code Browser Notifications.

This product seems funny but it is actually boosting up my productivity and I have watched as many videos as possible at the same time haha

Road to 1,000,000 Votap users Day 53 | Current: 1275
What if your username was part random, part you?
We re adding user tags to Votap so people can reply to each other, tag users, and have real discussions. But we still want to keep anonymity.
So instead of people typing anything they want, tags are generated from a predefined pool of words.
You pick from a few simple categories Then the app generates combinations like:
adjective + noun + number
But here s the fun part. You ll be able to reroll and randomize until you land on one you like. It turns something boring (creating a username) into a little game. And somehow it s way more fun than just typing a name.
Lots of new features coming to Votap soon.
Download Votap from the App Store if you want to follow along.
More tomorrow.

A founder coach who surveyed hundreds of builders said something that stuck with me: every single person she interviewed used the word "lonely."

That really stopped me.

Just to correct myself: the wave of layoffs is not coming, but it has already passed through.

Meta, Amazon and other big companies have started laying off workers because AI will take your jobs.

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?

Let me start from the creator s perspective:
I personally don t have a product (apart from hiring people for creative work or offering personal consultations).

But as a creator, I constantly share content, insights, and information, value that helps me build trust (for free). Based on that perceived expertise, people eventually decide to work with me (a paid service).

With the advent of clawdbots, it's as if we've all lost our inhibitions and "put our lives completely in their hands."

I'm all for delegating work, but not giving them too much personal/sensitive stuff to handle.
