Imagine an AI that doesn t rely on giants like Google or Facebook. Decentralized AI could change the way we interact with technology, making it more private, accessible, and secure. But, is it really possible or just a crazy idea?
As users, we all want to try a product before committing. As builders, we want to show real value without over-engineering and investing time 'just for show'. Finding that balance is harder than it looks.
I just shipped my demo for Rewo (https://rewo.app), and intentionally went with a live, real demo:
Fully functional product (same codebase as prod)
Uses demo data instead of real integrations
Some interfacing + sync pieces are disabled
Auto-resets on a schedule so anyone can jump in fresh
I ve launched a few small tools before, but I usually skipped the whole talk to people first step. I d just build, ship, and hope something stuck.
This time, I m trying something different. I started asking around about a pain I kept noticing, SaaS free trials and how hard it is to get meaningful feedback from users.
I was recently talking with a group of founders, and we went around sharing tools we're using now. Posting my notes for our community here - would love to know what else people are using!
We probably spend less time online during the weekend since we take a break from work and want to enjoy time with family and friends, go out, and relax. Understandably, fewer people are available to support our product over the weekend. Here are a few things that might help: Request follows for the "Notify Me" page well in advance. Use a more private email for notifications instead of a work email, as people are less likely to check work emails over the weekend with work emails, they ll see them probably on Monday. Send two messages to be safe: one a few days before the launch during the workweek and another right on the weekend. Engage with users who have the highest streaks those who open the app daily, even on weekends. They re more likely to support your product. Be active on social media and talk about this launch. Would you add something?
I'm creating a fitness app that uses AI on @Lovable, and I'm also testing it myself.
I use the app daily to check its functions, how it works, and the exercises. If I find something strange or think of something new, I record voice memos with issues, changes, or improvements. I act as both the product manager and a user. Later, I listen to these notes and make the changes.
