Man, you're living my dream. I just launched, do you have any tips for getting those first 100 users? My idea is to have a close nit group to start with so I can iterate on the feedback, but not sure how to go about finding them

Yesterday I launched my MVP for Cora. It took a couple of months but we got there (in hindsight, should've timeboxed it). Now, time to find the first 100 users!

I like Signal. It's non-profit, privacy first, and open source

yeah but, have you thought about optimizing it

By burnout do you mean during a given day you have a hard time staying focused, or more like on the timespan of weeks?

Goood morning. Excited for today, it's the first day after I launched my project on the App Store, so gonna spend all day brainstorming how to market it :)

I just launched my own app and setting the price was really confusing. Ended up with a really low $1.99 a month to get initial users, but people have told me this is a mistake.

Well, I showed up and I shipped. I think in between listening to users, there's acquiring users. Let's see how that goes

This is perfect for when you're integrating a new API / library. Just scrape the docs!

Gen Beta just dropped

Wild time to get born

As I said in one of my posts:

Can't wait for all companies to have this.

They actually provided a raw context file you can prep your #llm with. This is the future lads.

Yeah... this should not be legal

Jean-Luc Thumm @jeanlucthumm.bsky.social · Jan 3

You have a filter for Google facts, apply one to LLMs as well. Considering them as "just auto-complete" misses their point.

Pretty much every AI company was scraping Reddit for free with them fronting massive infra costs. That's obviously a problem. How would you have solved it?

Do you have a demo for what it’s able to do?

Jean-Luc Thumm @jeanlucthumm.bsky.social · Jan 2

I’ll give your book to ChatGPT and have it raise my kid 👍

Funny how movie AI voices are always robotic sounding. We’re already past that in 2024.

If you're using `setState()` for everything right now it's gonna get unmaintainable pretty fast. I'd recommend just following their "Getting Started". Feel free to DM me with questions!
