Hey! We’re a family startup building tools for product teams.

We couldn’t find roadmap & feedback tools we didn’t secretly resent — so we’re making our own:

🧡 Roadmappy = simple, affordable roadmaps
🧡 Clarismic = feedback intelligence for PMs

Designing product pages.

Looked through 76 competitors for inspiration.

Mostly found:
- salad of terms and buzzwords
- essence drowned in slogans
- "start building products your customers love" almost everywhere

Somehow, I’m now less inspired 🫤

Physical activity is super important for builders.

This morning, though, this kitty didn’t want me to run 🥰

Yep, that’s the signal something might be off with the content, audience, timing or the algorithm.

And the eternal struggle between curiosity and addiction 😂

Chasing likes and views is a dopamine trap.
But they’re also data.

Thanks! Reliability, flexibility + price. At our early stage, we decided to skip extra costs and stay lock-in free.

However, it turned out to be an inspirational story about one incredible person and his projects: AlphaFold, AlphaGo, AlphaStar.

In short:
- not boring
- ‘marketmentary’
- inspiring, but light on substance
- offers nothing for the #AI curious mind
➡️ nice to have on in the background

I expected to learn about the “thinking game” among major AI players (OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, DeepSeek, etc.) from Google’s perspective + some deep dives into AI and AGI.

#AI #AGI #Google

Instead of wasting time on another movie during the flight (I was too tired to build at night), I chose a documentary featuring Demis Hassabis, Co-Founder and CEO of #Google #DeepMind.

🧵 My honest review, in case you’re considering watching "The Thinking Game":

Our beloved Roadmappy just turned 1! 🥳

Still a baby #startup, learning to walk (and scale),
but we couldn’t be prouder 🧡

Here’s to:
✦ more happy users
✦ fewer bugs
✦ as many integrations as possible
✦ steady MRR growth
✦ better sleep for the parents

Happy birthday & coffee cheers!

Thanks, kayjo! Hostinger looks very solid, good luck setting yours up 😉

Leveling up in marketing — created a business email.

Which service do you use for yours?

Back to building after 2 weeks of unexpected travel.

Building in public from the "best airport in the world".
Wish we had a longer connection 🥹

While others spent the weekend hiking or relaxing with family and friends, we stayed home –– building a new data channel for our product’s customer intelligence...

Deployed late at night.
Used by our customer’s sales team today 😊
Not a wasted weekend.

“Learning how to learn” is the most critical skill for the next generation, said #Google DeepMind CEO.

How to develop it:

- strong critical thinking
- adaptability
- problem-solving skills
- practicing metacognition
- gaining hands-on experience
- staying informed

BTW, #Gemini3 drops tomorrow.

Rumor has it we’ll see two versions:
⚡ Flash – for fast, lightweight tasks
🧠 Note Pro – for complex reasoning, creativity, large-scale code generation

If Gemini 3 lives up to the leaks, we might be looking at Google’s strongest shot yet.

Yesterday I learned what our development approach is actually called spec-driven development.

🌀 #VibeCoding → code through intuition and prompts
📐 #SpecCoding → detailed specs, constraints, architecture guiding the AI from the start

Building together means starting together.

Fueling up before the next sprint.
Ready to ship 🔥

Productive sprint to everyone!

Basically, the formula for modern selling:

I don’t like being sold to,
but I love to buy.

Met this 'guardian at the gate' on our climb, watching us.
Made me think of Aesop:

"The gods help those who help themselves."

Building a startup feels the same way.

We decided to skip frameworks at 0 → 1.
Fast, fun, and no enterprise baggage.

That's the real power of early startups and indies ✌️

⚡️ Zurich just dropped the world’s first #AI actress

Meet #TillyNorwood:
- premiered at Zurich Film Festival
- fully computer-generated, trained on real actors
- developed by Dutch entrepreneur Eline van der Velden
- creators: "a new tool," not a replacement
- Hollywood in shock

End of human stars?

📝 "A coffee shop, with the hum of background conversations and occasional clanking of cups, provides many such triggers for the diffuse mode."

Now struggling with the hero section.

On one side it’s easy: just follow a few proven UX rules.
But the real challenge is bringing product identity + soul into it.

That takes:
- the right words
- an inspiring visual

Copy is tweakable. The visual is the hardest part.

Working from a coffee shop to activate diffuse mode and get unstuck on our website design.
