Building simple tools to solve real problems for real people
Talking to GPT about my strengths and weaknesses and it gave me the absolute banger:

Success isn’t about picking the perfect idea. It’s about sticking to a painful problem long enough to become the best at solving it.

Its absolutely crazy now that you can meet up with someone, say “what if there was an app that did this?” And code it up in an evening together with AI

Friends can be great testers when you don’t have an audience, but not all signals are equal

Nice friends will try your app

Honest friends will tell you what they really think

Detached friends will tell you if they’d pay

Different roles. Different signals.

Validated an idea the wrong way recently.

Built something I thought was useful, helped a friend troubleshoot it, got it working… and he casually said, "Oh, I can already do that another way."

Next time, I’m asking up front: "How are you solving this problem now?" before building anything.
