After 3 quiet months of building, it’s time to open the doors.
I’m building @sharingram.com — a tool that lets creators turn viral content structures into templates they can apply to their own ideas.
Private beta soon.

Almost a month since I quit my 6 figure job.
Now building apps = my passion
I am making my life more complicated than it should by learning React Native + Expo with Cursor (my expertise is Swift).
Life's good, life's fun.

I am not that surprised that there is a wide spread practice of lying MRR screenshots.
But I am surprised people fall for that.

Barcelona isn't just beaches and tapas.
Found myself in a mastermind with AI builders, media buyers, and SaaS founders today. The digital nomad scene here is wild - everyone's building cool shit, sharing wins/fails, and actually helping each other grow.

5am work sessions hit different in Barcelona.
The city's entrepreneurial vibe + early morning quiet = peak productivity. Found my groove with dawn coding sprints before the city wakes up.
Remote work isn't just about location - it's about rhythm.

Just hit that classic solo founder moment: my own product is too complex for ME to use effectively. If you can't explain your tool in 30 seconds, you've probably built too much. Currently reworking everything.

Local markets are ideal for AI implementation: less competition, established trust, and slower tech adoption.
Focus on solving real problems in your backyard before going global.

23 weeks into building, and I'm lost in my own product. You know what's humbling? When your beta users AND you struggle to use what you've built. But here's the silver lining - this confusion is a gift. It's forcing me to strip everything down to its core. Complexity is the enemy of execution.

Ironic: I build AI tools to help others create content, yet struggled to post consistently myself. My fix? Started treating every coding problem, every bug, every small win as content. That coffee shop debugging session? It's a story. That API error? A lesson. Life's already giving you content.

Everyone focuses on AI's speed and automation. But the real game-changer? It lets solo founders compete with entire teams.
One person with AI can now do the work of 5-10 people effectively. This isn't about replacing jobs - it's about empowering individuals to build bigger than ever before.

While everyone debates AI ethics and regulation, smart founders are quietly building empires.
The real opportunity isn't in building AI - it's in being first to implement it in traditional markets.
This arbitrage window won't last forever. The time to act is now.

Stop typing code immediately.
Focus 70% on system design and 30% on prompting AI to write for you.
Let AI handle the typing while you focus on the big picture. Your value isn't in writing functions - it's in designing systems that solve real problems.
