This is one of those founder nightmares nobody talks about until it happens.
You've spent 6 months building. Things are moving, but not fast enough for one of you. Your co-founder comes to you with "the new idea" completely different direction.
You believe in the current vision. They're losing faith.
We often celebrate the wins and the "hockey stick growth" moments here, which is incredibly inspiring. However, I believe there's a treasure trove of knowledge in the projects that didn't work out, especially in the rapidly evolving world of AI agents.
Anytime we want to see technological advancements, we either keep an eye on Product Hunt, Techcrunch or the military. And that's today's case.
In the morning, I read this announcement:
Meta is partnering with defense tech company Anduril to develop AR/VR headsets for the U.S. military, starting with a new device called EagleEye. The new headset will include night vision, thermal sensing, and augmented reality features. The partnership has raised eyebrows due to Meta s role in data and AI, and the ethical implications of a social media giant entering the military tech space.
I've been watching this weird trend in B2B sales, and it's honestly keeping me up at night.
Everyone's rushing to implement AI sales tools (rightfully so - the efficiency gains are insane), but we might be accidentally breaking the entire profession.
I ve been exploring ideas around building smarter add-ons for Strava and smartwatch apps, especially features that go beyond tracking and actually help people stay consistent.
Most fitness apps are great at collecting data such as pace, heart rate, distance but they don t always help on low-motivation days or prevent burnout.
From a product perspective, I m curious:
What s a feature you wish existed that would actually change your behaviour?
What would make you open the app daily?
What insight or nudge would feel valuable enough to pay for?
I wanted to share a bit of the reality behind solo development, because this past week has been a rough one. I was set to launch my product tomorrow, but due to some personal health issues, I ve had to push it back by two weeks.
Found about MCP servers earlier this year, but only the last few weeks im getting my hands dirty with them. Im doing things with Typescript and Im struggling with integrating custom clients with mcp servers. Is anyone going through the same path?
PS: Im not asking about building an MCP server or connecting it to Claude Desktop, Cursor or something like that. That is easy, and Youtube is packed with videos about it. Im talking about custom frontends/clients and how to easily integrate them with MCP servers.
Donald Trump's tariff policies are hitting the Korean stock market hard. The KOSPI is currently down 3%, and as an office worker in Korea, I am worried and feel uneasy. Could this lead to an economic crisis this year? I'm genuinely concerned. Let's talk this topic!
