Over the past couple of weeks, we launched CodeYam CLI & Memory on both Show HN and Product Hunt. A bunch of founder and maker friends reached out asking how it went, what worked, and what we d do differently, so I wrote up a more honest reflection than I usually see shared.
My co-founder and I are building MVP.ai, emotionally intelligent AI companions that people can learn from (from skills to studying), regulate and process their emotions (thus increasing emotional IQ), talk with, and overall, grow together in an immersive bonding experience.
But wait... building AI companions, that seems unethical? Dangerous, right?
People love to obsess over age. Every time a teenager ships something, the headline is: Look, they re only 17! It s become a whole genre of founder story.
Thanks to all the interactions and tips I got from the discussion page, we managet to lauch our product and get product of the day AND week. https://www.producthunt.com/post... I am so excited and grateful to everyone who gave me tips and feedabck along the way. Now I just need to figure out a way to beat OpenAI for product of the month
I feel like Im using Youtube more than anything else every single day. I want to learn some "hidden gems" channels, cause I feel I seen it all. Ideally channels around solopreneurship/indiehackers, 0$ marketing strategies, how-to-sell stuff fast, philosophy and economics. Here are my GO-TO channels that I watch almost daily:
@Raoul Pal the Journey man (Macro investing in crypto)
@Money ZG (macro investing in crypto)
@Pursuit of Wonder (interesting concepts around societal psychology & philosophy)
@Fireship - Tech edgelord (lol)
@Greg Isenberg (Solopreneurship)
@Starter Story (Solopreneurship, How to build and market apps)
