🚢🎄 I've finally had time to digest OpenAI's 12 Days of Shipmas, experiment with some of its new features, and understand how they are applicable to us.

Let's break them down, with some of my insights as a builder 🧵
Another milestone achieved: Over 1000 activities processed with stravify!
This happened sooner than I expected.

2 weeks to get my first 100 sign-ups.
4 days to get another 100 sign-ups.

We are officially at 200 sign-ups! 🎉

🧵This may not be a huge number for many of you, but I'm so grateful for it and in the spirit of #buildinpublic , here's what I've learnt in the process

4 days ago, I was counting down to 100 users.
Today, I am counting down to 200 users.

Still insane to me. Grateful for the support by the #strava community. Let's go!

I think I've found the perfect AI prompt for the product I'm currently building for #strava users.

I hope other users are having as much fun as I'm having with this haha.

Tired of superficial comments, let’s keep it real. If you genuinely want to share what you’re building and get feedback, drop it below ↓
I’m here to connect deeper with this community. Tell me what you’re working on!

This feels like every builder's dream come true.

Just saw this comment on my recent reddit post.

Stravify started as a fun passion project and I never imagined anyone would actually pay for. I didn't bother to even think about it monetisation.

Can't deny
What is the easiest way to look at the output of a team? For engineering, it happens to be code.

So a second-order effect will most certainly be more EMs/teams and orgs running monitoring code-related output (PRs, commits, frequency and many other related) in *automated* ways

Still crazy to me how I managed to get 100 users within 10+ days since the start of the year.

My number 1 source for sign-ups: Reddit.

Doubling down on that.

“It’s not really enjoyable to make music now. It takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of practice, you have to get really good at an instrument or really good at a piece of production software. I think the majority of people don’t enjoy the majority of time they spend making music”

I knew this would happen very very soon, but I didn't know its already happening.

AI Agents are renting GPUs (to create better AI agents?).

This is too fascinating yet slightly unsettling. I need to process this.
January 13, 2025 at 4:23 PM
In the age of AI, what are y'all doubling down on?

1/ Indie hacking or solopreneurship, and the related skills that come with it

2/ Sharpening your technical fundamentals and expertise

3/ Exploring entirely different professions

4/ ?

Curious to hear your thoughts.

Change my mind:
Software engineers are the “digital” construction workers of our time.

(No shade, I’m a full-time software engineer myself)
January 13, 2025 at 6:13 AM
This is CRAZY. We’ve officially crossed 100 sign-ups today! 🎉

It might seem like a small number, but for me it’s a huge milestone.

Turning an idea into reality, building it, and seeing real people use and love it is incredibly rewarding.

Next milestone: 1,000 users. Let’s make it happen!

Hey #strava users! This might be interesting for you!

My Thread account is suspended twice, two days in a row!

Anyone has experienced this before?

I don't post much, I don't copy other accounts, so I have absolutely no idea is the real reason.

My guess: Something to do with my profile pic lol. Time to change it.
January 9, 2025 at 1:29 PM
We're at 98 sign-ups! Just 2 more to hit 100! 🤯

This is wild to me! Seeing something that started as an random fun idea come to life like this is unreal.

Eagerly counting down to 100! I'll keep y'all posted.

Anyone else here waiting to hit 100, 1k, 10k, 100k users? Let's count down together!

I believe in clarity.
Describe what you’re building in 5 words.

Let’s share and discuss each other's ideas!

💯 The time and cost of creating an MVP or POC are decreasing exponentially. It is getting way easier to build one.

The real challenge lies in:
👉 Identifying REAL pain points
👉 Prioritising key features to build
👉 Marketing
👉 Distribution
January 8, 2025 at 4:36 PM
What is everyone building today?

I received a reddit feedback that my product has some flaws. This is related to the data and the AI prompt I am using in my product. Not sure how it'll go but I'm sure I can improve it.
January 8, 2025 at 11:23 AM
Just got some honest feedback on my product, and it’s absolutely legit.

It’s a great reminder that no one can build the perfect product alone.
Customer feedback is invaluable. It’s the cornerstone of building something truly successful.

Time for me to make some improvements!

This might be better than ChatGPT and Claude.

Two months ago, I had a coding question. DeepSeek solved it on the first try, Claude took three tries, and OpenAI couldn’t solve it at all.

Just updated the playground section for stravify.fun

✅ Used template data for the playground activity (instead of user's last activity)
✅ Added multiple activity types which users select - Run, Walk, Ride, ... (adding more)
✅ Displayed the selected style more prominently
