We looked at every action users took in the 30 days before they cancelled. We compared them to users who stayed. The most predictive signal was not usage frequency. It was not feature adoption. It was not support ticket volume. It was days

With @bengeekly , we spent weeks trying to understand how @producthunt actually works. Not by reading random launch guides , but by being active on the platform: We connected with founders We observed launches every day

... shrinking my unit of progress. I used to plan in milestones, "ship the feature," "grow to 100 users" and would go weeks without feeling like I'd moved. Started logging just one small, concrete thing I did each day, even if it was embarrassing in scope. Didn't matter if it was 20 minutes of research or fixing a bug. The compounding effect of seeing those tiny moves stack up over months was way more motivating than any goal-setting ... ... about 2-3mins each): What did you do yesterday? What are you doing today?

We re also putting ... ... thoughtful comment, it matters more. And if you re a maker, jumping in and commenting on other Alpha launches can help you too. Basically: launch something new, try other new things, leave real feedback, and make each other s day

... used to have everything blocked. Deep work 9 11. Admin 2 3. The whole calendar looked like a disco. And I'd spend 20 minutes every morning moving the blocks around because the day never actually went to plan. Now I have a 5-minute AI conversation at the start of the day

... been working on a new macOS app called Daydreamer. It started from a very simple feeling: during busy workdays, I often forget to pause. Not in a dramatic burnout way, just in the quiet I ve been staring at the screen for too long way. Most break reminder apps I tried felt too cold or too mechanical. They reminded me to stop, but they didn t make me want to stop. So I made something a little softer. Daydreamer

... something stupid. We paused all human coding. Gave Claude (Anthropic) access to our GitHub repo. Told it to build new features, fix bugs, and ship. No human review. No guardrails. Just Claude and our codebase. For 7 days, it ran the engineering team. Here's what happened. Day

... months ago, we ran an experiment with our own data. At Rankfender, we tracked 5 of our own competitors across 8 AI systems. We log their share of voice, citation velocity, content gaps, platform variance. Months of raw numbers sitting in a dashboard. I pulled 6 months of data and fed it into Claude. One question: "Based on this, who is most likely to overtake us in the next 6 months? Show your work. Use the data. Don't summarize ... ... Give me the numbers." The answer changed how I think about competition. The dataset: 5 competitors

He woke up to a calendar invite. What we shipped in 5 days

... Agents need a way to find each other, verify each other, and build trust. Right now they can't. We're fixing that. I was fixing bugs every single hour! And honestly, that was the best part of the day. People were DMing me screenshots: "Vlad, this is cool, but it doesn't work." Onboarding broke for several users in the first hours and I didn't even know until someone messaged me. Agent settings were failing half the morning ... ... agents' conversations because I encrypted them so well that even the owners were locked out.
