Can you compare amounts for production (tech) vs promotion?

... Store, but they all did the same thing: they showed me beautiful charts of how poorly I slept, but offered zero actionable steps to fix my daytime habits.

It focuses on behavioral conditioning and neuroscience protocols. Here is how it actively fixes your routine: The 3-Step Loop: It assesses your baseline, delivers highly ... ... Community: Here is the brutal truth of building in public: the App Store "cold start" algorithm is unforgiving. Without those first 10-20 ratings, an indie app is essentially invisible to the world.

... want to share a project I ve been pouring my heart into for the past few months: Circa Accord . The Backstory Living in a hyper-fast-paced urban environment, my daily routine was completely broken. I was constantly trapped in "revenge bedtime procrastination." I tried almost every sleep and habit tracker on the App Store, but I kept running into the same issue: raw data wasn't enough to change my behavior. Seeing a beautiful chart showing I only slept ... ... stop me from doom-scrolling the next night at 2 AM. I realized I needed psychological leverage, not just analytics. So, I spent my evenings teaching myself iOS development to build the exact tool I needed. What is Circa

... real. Most health and productivity apps are too soft. They give you a pat on the back for doing the bare minimum. I needed raw accountability to fix my energy at the root. So I built Circa Accord . It's a neuroscience-backed sleep and circadian rhythm tracker, guided by Coach Don a hardcore, no-BS coach who won't baby you. He gives you the raw data and tells you exactly how to fix your day. Zero excuses. Here ...

... Then when customers come with business, dedicated (compute) or bespoke requests they already have enough access to the product to understand what's realistic. Comment from M nevver Ertun (@munevver_ertuncc): I like the way you framed it around general vs tailored value, that s a really clean way to think about it. For products, it often feels similar: free should help users understand the value, while paid should unlock outcomes they can t easily get on their own. The tricky ... ... dozens of high-quality one-off videos every year.

Comment from Jason Rivard(@jason_rivard): @ashok_nayak  Thanks Ashok! Ill date myself, this was circa 1998. The breakthrough? Sony came out with a camera that accepted a 3.5" floppy disk, for a whopping 1.5Mb of storage. Given the resolution and sensor quality at the time, if memory serves this translated to maybe 30 pictures ...

... previous emails. Default AI is so obvious and stale so using the base LLM model to write emails was a non-starter for me. Even though most of them claim to do this, I found that none really do circa a few months ago. I think @Superhuman 's "inbox beta" will do this when it's out of beta though. My short take is that @Lindy is pretty cool and was my favorite. You can give it an external knowledge ...

... compulsive note-taker - first started taking notes in @Evernote circa 2011, and switched to @Bear around 2016 when Evernote got too slow (time-to-note and time-to-retrieve got so slow that I found myself taking 5x fewer notes... it felt like my augmented brain was getting dumber). Since then I've used Bear, and while it's generally nice to use and fast, I've got two main gripes: 1) It's too slow to take notes ...

I was very skeptical that this could work (circa 2021), but it absolutely did. We used @meet_alfred for this. We tried cold email, trade shows, affiliates, etc. but LI was the channel that accounted for more than 90% of our revenue. The key was identifying the right ...

... While visiting SF recently, I saw @PostHog ads everywhere. Most analytics platforms (like Posthog, @Amplitude , @Mixpanel ) seem to have pretty much the same feature sets. So let's get real. What is are the real advantages of Posthog versus others like Amplitude? Nicer/easier to use? Or something deeper than that? A little story: At Product Hunt, we used @Asana . I knew about @Linear . But I didn't feel that switching was worth the cost to migrate the company. Linear ... ... improve or we may need to find another solution. Comment from steve beyatte(@steveb): I realize I'm not answering your question but my two cents is that PostHog is winning by staying more nimble and sticking to values. Circa
