Using AI lets us ship updates and write code at ten times the normal speed, but it also makes it dangerous to chase useless ideas.

I caught our team spending a whole week polishing a complex feature just because ChatGPT made it effortless to write only to realize zero users actually wanted it. Shipping fast feels great but it easily masks the fact that you aren't talking to real customers.

How do you stop AI from tricking you into feeling productive while building things nobody asked for?

Scrolling through today's launches, it feels like half of them are AI agents now applying to jobs for you, editing your videos, handling outreach, monitoring other agents. Some of it genuinely saves hours. Some of it I still want to keep my hands on.

So I'm curious where everyone draws the line.

I m planning to create a website for my extension, and I want to make it as visually engaging as possible while keeping it minimalist, so the main idea is immediately clear.

That means I need to learn from the best.

Yesterday I read an article in Reuters that Mark Zuckerberg is investing billions in developing his chips to reduce his dependence on NVIDIA.

Microsoft, OpenAI, and Google want to make them too.

I m trying to understand what makes someone try a SaaS product and then stop using it after a few days.

Analytics can show where people drop off, but it doesn t always explain why. I think a short conversation with those users could help, though I m not sure what to ask without leading them toward an answer.

We all spend hours obsessing over every pixel and word before a launch, but I m curious about what actually works on you as a user.

When you re scrolling through the top products of the day, what is the one thing that actually makes you stop and click?

• The Icon/Logo: Does a sleek, high-quality aesthetic signal a better product to you?

• The Tagline: Does a clever or "punchy" one-liner win you over?

• The Upvote Count: Do you only click things that are already trending?

• The Problem: Do you ignore the branding and only click if the name solves a pain point you have right now?

My app runs inside another company's app marketplace, so before anyone can try it they have to create an account on a platform they've probably never heard of. My first Reddit posts got about 380 views between them, and the install count didn't move.

For those of you building plugins, GPTs, Shopify apps, or anything else that lives inside someone else's platform: what helped people get past that first step? A short demo video, a sample they can see without an account, something else?

So I've been a solo founder for almost 3 years, first two years was a b2b company and a lot of sales, meetings and "people to people work".

This year its been a lot more me and my computer when starting a tech/ai company. which have really tested me and my sanity...

How do you split time between building and growth when you're solo?

I've been building NAAD (an Indian classical wellness app ragas, pranayama, mantra meditation) mostly alone, and I've noticed something: the skills that make you good at shipping product are almost the opposite of the skills that make you good at growth/distribution. One is heads-down and technical, the other is outward-facing and relational.

For those of you who've been solo makers did you force yourself to learn marketing, or did you eventually bring someone in to own that side? And if you brought someone in, how did you structure that (equity, profit-share, contract) in a way that felt fair to both sides?

Genuinely curious how others have navigated this, especially early on when there's no revenue yet to pay someone a normal salary.
