... Quick update from a solo founder and his dog Charlie : Never Too Late is now live on both stores. It reads your Google Calendar, watches live traffic & parking, and pings you at the exact minute to leave. The road here: 3 App Store rejections (localization details), one completely broken build that Google happily approved, and a two-week review marathon. iOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/never... Android: https://play.google.com/store/ap... Update: the early-bird list is closed. What's next ...

... cheap, you can rebuild often. Don't like how it came out? Try again. Go further just to see what happens. "What happens" is where the learning lives. Writing is still the basis of the product. I still hear Charlie in my head: "this is a sh*t ticket" . Lazy writing means burning tokens and wrong outputs. If you didn't write it, don't get upset when the agent didn't build it. Gave too much? Then be worried ...

... baton stage matters. The founder can light the fire, but eventually other people need to be able to carry it, see themselves in it, and make it bigger than whoever started it. It s not really personal brand vs product brand. It s knowing when one is helping the other, and when it starts becoming a ceiling. The math starts mathin pretty quick. Comment from Evan Springfield(@evan_springfield): Honestly, I've lived both sides of this. I've built ... ... there's probably nothing more efficient than a founder led audience. You're borrowing trust you haven't earned yet as a brand, and that shortcut can be the difference between getting your first 100 users in a week versus

... working on improving our streak infrastructure to personalize streaks reminders for each user, including sending targeted reminders based on when each user is most likely to lose their streak. Lot's more insights like this to follow! Happy building! Charlie Comment from Gaurav Singh(@gaurav_singh91): This is the kind of insight that only becomes visible when you reach real scale. 24M streaks gives you a dataset most apps will never have, and Friday being the biggest drop day makes ... ... that beat this seem to do two things: make the streak feel like a running tab rather than a daily checkbox, and build social accountability into the experience. Curious if you found that streak loss is more about forgetting vs

... charlie_hb started quite an interesting thread where he outlined on which days people lose their streaks the most often. He showed some stats regarding days in a week, but I am still lacking the reasons. The most common ones I have heard were: "I was travelling" (different time zones, so I lost track of time) "It was the weekend." (or holidays) "I lost my motivation." What was the real reason that you didn't continue, and what was your ...

Being personal builds trust, turns users into advocates, and gives you feedback you can't get any other way. 6. Use social proof at every key touchpoint ... ... proof. It helped. A lot. 7. Iterate on pricing. We started with one plan. Added a yearly option as an experiment. 25% of users converted to annual. Tie your pricing to the actual value users get, not what a competitor

... Hello Product Hunt! Charlie here, co-founder of Trophy. Since we launched Trophy 1.0 back in Jan we've been continuing to ship new features to Trophy, and March was no exception. One of the biggest updates was the addition of points levels so I thought I'd take the time to share that with you here. What are points levels? Trophy helps you build complex points systems for gamification purposes without coding. Think of features like XP, Gems ... ... levels work, check out the official Trophy documentation . We're super excited to see the types of experiences that you build with points levels, and it's now generally available on all Trophy plans. Thanks for reading! Charlie

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. Comment from Lina Pok(@linapok): Huge congrats on this massive milestone! Taking a salary from revenue is the ultimate dream. As a fellow builder without ...

New Webhooks As with all major Trophy features, we've added two new webhooks for boosts to help power custom workflows using Trophy data: points.boost_started events are fired when ... ... fired when boosts finish, with user-specific boosts finishing relative to each user's time zone if set.

... think on your feet. Invaluable for students, lawyers, writers, and anyone who needs to communicate persuasively. Lattice of Mental Models Apply frameworks like first principles thinking, inversion, and systems thinking to analyze complex problems from multiple angles. Inspired by Charlie Munger's concept of a "latticework of mental models," this mode is built for strategic thinkers who want to see reality more clearly. Who Is Socra For? Students Whether you're a high school student struggling with a concept ... ... mind wants to go. The Lattice of Mental Models and Whys modes are particularly well-suited to exploratory, curiosity-driven learning the kind that enriches how you see the world rather than just adding facts to your memory.

... chatbot "why is my user retention dropping?" and you'll get a decent list of suggestions. Organized, readable, and almost entirely useless for hard problems. Why? Because complex problems don't yield to a single perspective. Charlie Munger spent a lifetime proving this. His answer the one that helped build Berkshire Hathaway into one of the greatest investment machines in history was the Latticework of Mental Models : a cross-disciplinary framework that forces you to triangulate truth through multiple lenses ... ... consequences that ripple over time. If your question has a straightforward answer, a search engine is enough. But if your problem involves competing variables, second-order effects, human behavior, and genuine uncertainty that's exactly where AIFlow operates. AIFlow vs

Comment from Daniel Foster(@dpfoster): We recently introduced generative voice and video into our Camtasia bundled subscription plans while retaining a traditional SaaS pricing model. Why? Sticking with the SaaS model helps us differentiate from competitors by offering unlimited AI under a very clear, predictable, easy-to-explain model. Some competitors

... Comment from AJ(@build_with_aj): I think the biggest unlock is making the value something that is easy to make into a habit. If I have an app where I need to switch context completely to get value vs one that doesn't require it, I'll pick the smaller cognitive overhead any day. Comment from Jake Friedberg(@jake_friedberg): @charlie

... This is a great tool for quickly creating mockups of product screenshots with nice looking backgrounds and borders. We used this to capture screenshots of the Trophy dashboard and then embedded these into the Google Slides deck. Comment from Charlie Hopkins-Brinicombe(@charlie

... First day back with my co-founder Charlie, and we showed up ready to build ! Feels a bit like the first day back at school: excited, a little nervous, ready to dive in .
