Marketing Sprint, Day 3 – Pivoting
After testing competitors' apps and extensions, I’ve decided to drop my MVP.
Reasons:
1. Netflix-only focus is too narrow.
2. Google traffic likely won't bring me even $200/month.

Well, January is over.
To those doing "12 startups in 12 months" - how's it going? Is your first startup live? 😂
P.S. read this with a bit of irony, of course 🫶 good luck to all of us

Today I remembered of how I kept rewatching tutorials about OAuth because I felt I didn’t fully grasp the topic
Then, I finally started working on the auth for my pet project, and the first version crashed, for sure
I turned to StackOverflow for answers (it was pre-ChatGPT era😅)

Yesterday, I showcased the MVP of a Chrome extension that I would use myself.
The coding part is fairly simple.
That's why I want to document the marketing sprint.
Over the next 5-7 days, I’ll be posting daily updates:

Last week, I wasn’t happy with my progress in Spanish.
This week, I fixed smth in a nerdy way - I capture subtitle text with just one click.
It’s now much easier to check words.
Some UI tweaks, like button positioning, are on the way.

I'll start:
1. Regular expressions
2. SQL
Both were learned through tutorials, but now I rely on ChatGPT for these tasks.

I built Lexify almost 2 years ago.
I quickly lost interest in it (10 users aren’t motivating 😅)
Now, after building more successful apps, I’ve come to realize that Lexify is:
🧩 incredibly niche
🆓 not monetizable
🗣️ And as a language nerd, I just love it

I have to admit...I don’t understand what an AI agent is
I just subscribed to a newsletter from an AI advocate, guess what: the first article is an n8n scenario that scrapes, calls APIs and sends some info to Slack
Does making API calls to OpenAI transform automations into AI agents?

At first glance, X seems more active and gives the impression of endless opportunities, while Bluesky feels calmer. But I started questioning myself:

I love how they've introduced a templates marketplace. Finally, Notioneers are well-represented within Notion itself, and the search and installation process is so smooth.
