Mid 2025, I built a rough little text from images app. Never thought I’d take it further—until a company held my Pastor’s QR codes hostage. That lit a fire. I dropped a 10-Day App Building Challenge (11 -20 Dec). Failed. 13 days later it worked. MVP here: boiki5.github.io/qrforge

The "Build in Public" philosophy is mainly about:
A) Open-sourcing all your code from day one.
B) Sharing your progress to build audience & accountability.
C) Getting free bug reports from the community.

The most powerful marketing tool isn't your ad budget. It's a user so happy they can't stop telling their friends.

What's the strongest sign of market validation?
A = An existing app is successful.
B = The decision to clone a successful app.
C = Actually cloning and launching the app.
Thoughts? Let's discuss.

I built myself a tiny text-from-image reader months ago (see screen recording). No confidence to make it real. Then a company grabbed my Pastor’s QR codes and woke me up. So I’m launching a 10-Day App Building Challenge. Details coming.

We often hear: “Only take advice from people who’ve succeeded.”
But is that always true? The truth?
Ideas are seeds. What matters is not where they come from, but who plants them and makes them grow.
