We're designing the Pretty Mac App landing page. And I'm trying something new.

Instead of just shipping what I think is right, I'd love to get your feedback!

Everyone's talking about how easy it is to build with AI right now.

Spin up an agent, write a prompt, ship. Done.

But if you've actually deployed something in the wild built mostly by AI, you know it's more complicated than that. Especially when you care about quality.

@Spotify launched a glitter logo for their 20th anniversary.
We decided to celebrate a little earlier.
(11 months )
Glittering prompts and AI results since day one.

Thumbs up or down ?

There's almost no public content on how to monetize a Chrome Extension.

Google invited us to do a podcast about it, sharing our learnings on how two bootstrapped guys grew Pretty Prompt to 40,000 users, 25% on annual plans, with ~7% weekly growth, with no VC money.

Not all context is equal.

So we stopped treating it that way.

Most AI tools store everything the same:

• Writing rules

• Personal background

• Preferences

• Temporary notes

We launched Pretty Prompt as a Chrome Extension. Got 2nd Product of the day.

We launched Pretty Prompt as a Web App. Got 2nd Product of the day, again.

Now we're launching Pretty Prompt as a Mac app...

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!

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:

Hey everyone

Last week was intense.

We didn t plan a launch.
We just kept hearing that some parts from the app were a bit annoying...

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.
