I spent last week doing the heavy lifting of building my very first Mac app to see if I could turn an idea into a functional tool for my own workflow.

Even Charlie gave his thumbs up

Took advantage of the @Glaze by Raycast awards to test my building skills!

Still feels unreal. Last week, we crossed 10,000 people using Pretty Prompt!

Just 3 months after launch .

What started as a weekend hack to solve our own problem, is now loved by so many users around the world!

Charlie (@cerwindcharlie)and I have been thinking a lot about what really matters when building a startup. And honestly, it all comes down to one thing:

Making something people want.

It s a bit cringe but it s true.

I used to think the hardest part of building a product was building the product.

Turns out, creating superfans is harder.

The real challenge is getting people to love your product:

It's just over a year into Pretty Prompt, and every week we learn more about what users want.

In result, every week we reinvent the company.

Here s are my favourite things we shipped last week: (quick video here)

Context is king. Yep, I know, we've tried to solve it a bunch of times.

But moving that context is a pain:

Go to a website -> Copy text -> Switch tabs -> Paste in ChatGPT -> Get an answer -> Go back to the other tab -> Repeat 100 times a day

This community helped turn a scrappy weekend project into something used by 25,000+ people from all around the world. So it felt right to share this here first:

On Jan 31, we are launching Pretty Prompt 1.0 right here on Product Hunt.

First day back with my co-founder Charlie, and we showed up ready to build!
Feels a bit like the first day back at school: excited, a little nervous, ready to dive in .

I was doubting myself about whether I should post this. It's hard to share your real story in front of thousands of people and not be critical about it. But it s out !

Feels a bit cringe. But you do what you have to do to grow your company, and maybe these learnings help other builders scale their products as we did.

I am so excited about this one!

You can now use Pretty Prompt right inside @Lovable (in beta)

We ve been working super hard to take Pretty Prompt beyond the generic ChatGPT world, and stepping into Vibe Coding.
