Yesterday, @zaczuo shared an idea about delivering packages from space. To me, that seems quite sci-fi and financially demanding to actually pull off. Today, I m reading that Bezos predicts millions of people could be living in space by 2050.
How realistic is this scenario, given that the last time we set foot on the Moon was more than 50 years ago? (And above all, I feel like we still can t solve basic problems on Earth, let alone expand into space.)
A few weeks ago, I started to feel like I had hit a plateau on social media, especially with my Substack newsletter. I couldn t seem to get past a certain number of subscribers (stagnation).
In similar situations, I ve noticed that people often either: run a giveaway pay for ads
I originally wanted to build this new product to solve a problem I faced in my daily life. But as a solo developer, the massive workload has completely eaten into my rest time, all while I'm still working my day job. On top of that, a recent health issue in my family has left me completely drained and anxious.
Sometimes I wonder if I should just let this project go. Even though I've poured so much into it, the truth is, my life wouldn't fall apart without it. I'm just feeling really lost right now.
Lately I ve been noticing something in my workflow:
Sometimes I jump into prompting AI before I fully understand the problem itself. Or I use AI to reduce friction instead of slowing down and thinking more deeply. And because the output often sounds convincing, verification can become weaker too without noticing.
Hi Makers! Quarantine has been tough here in London, with limited open spaces and a general feel of zombie apocalypse in the streets. Fortunately I have found comfort in working on my passion project which I am planning to beta launch in Q4 2020. I wanted to reach out to my fellow makers and start a discussion on how and when is the best time to launch on PH? The opinions and feedback from experienced founders would be invaluable through beta testing, however with the project being a travel app there are certain, umm, limitations in the current environment and users wont be able to experience the end to end experience. Should we launch on PH without users being able to make the final purchase or wait?
Checklists always look the same: tested, works, has a landing page. The part that actually slowed me down building in personal finance wasn't any of that, it was "would I trust this with my own bank statement," which isn't really a checklist item, it's more of a gut check that doesn't show up until you're already deep in it.
Curious what that bar looks like for people in adjacent spaces, health data, identity, anything where "it works" and "it's safe to trust" aren't the same question.
It's been a wild ride of constant innovation, checking out cool stuff, and seeing what's popping in the tech scene. PH isn't just a website for me; it's my go-to spot to soak up knowledge, get inspired, and maybe even team up with some awesome folks. Feel free to connect With me on Twitter and Linkedin.

We re in the thick of redesigning onboarding for a new consumer app trying to make that first minute actually count. Not just informative, but compelling enough that people actually stick around and use it again.
Too many products treat onboarding like a tutorial. And it becomes easy for the user to view it as just another hurdle to get through instead of a moment to get set up for a positive experience. Swipe, swipe swipe, go...
