I studied 𝟭,𝟰𝟲𝟬 𝗼𝗻𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 across 𝟵𝟴𝟲 apps &... websites. the average app has 25 onboarding screens. and some of the longest ones are the most successful. so it's probably not about making onboarding shorter. then what actually makes a good onboarding flow? Mobbin's data: → 22% of apps personalize during onboarding (AI apps: only 7%) → 22% show a paywall during onboarding → 6.3% do both This 10-minute video breaks down how top apps design onboarding, from Duolingo, Headspace , Bump by amo, Airbnb, and more 🔎 'mobbin onboarding' on youtubeshow more

THAT'S CRAZY, THIS CHINESE FOUNDER BUILT A MASSIVE MAC... MINI FARM AND EACH ONE RUNNING ITS OWN HERMES AI AGENT LIKE A FULL-TIME EMPLOYEE He's not running one AI assistant. He's running an entire workforce. The stack: Mac Mini + Hermes, scaled out across a full physical farm. Every single Mac Mini in the rack runs its own instance of Hermes Agent – and each one has its own dedicated job. Not duplicated tasks. Actual division of labor, machine by machine, the way you'd structure a real team. No salaries. No sick days. No onboarding. Just racks of hardware, each one handling its own piece of the business, running in parallel, 24/7. This is what it looks like when "AI agent" stops being one chatbot on your laptop and starts being an actual operation. Most people are running one AI tool. This guy built a company out of them.

Everyone’s been asking me how I make TikTok slideshows... for my apps that actually convert…. Here’s exactly what I do. I’ll use Cal AI as an example below: • Keep it to 5 slides Max • Find high quality images from Pinterest • Make the 1st slide a strong hook that makes people stop scrolling • Provide actual value throughout the slideshow, not just a promotion • On the 4th slide, add your CTA with 2 app screenshots ( Make it subtle the CTA, look at my reference below) • Include an App Store screenshot so viewers recognize your app icon if they see it again later, there more likely to download. • Use a viral sound that matches the aesthetic of the pictures. This simple format has consistently been one of the best performing organic growth strategies for one of my apps and it’s so easy.show more

Recently I talked about how competitors or just people... who don’t like you – can attack your app. The most common case is review attacks. And it’s not always 1★ reviews. Sometimes they’re 5★ reviews too. They pass App Store filters, and when there are too many, Apple may warn you about a violation of guideline 11.2 What to do: - Watch reviews closely: volume + patterns - Report suspicious reviews immediately - Document everything, it can help during appeals The video shows a real attack on one of my apps in 2023show more

I really learnt from the best If your content... is averaging 700 views it’s of two things 1. It’s either you did not warm up your account well to the hashtag you are posting with 2. You have a general content problem , you need to find content that has been pushed in the last 1 month max and post I have 4 iPhones , 3 iphone 8 and 1 iPhone 7 , I post content on all everyday been doign this for the past 2 years I use the iPhone 7 to post for one of my brands And I use the 3 iPhone 8 to post for one brand The most important thing is , find what works for one phone and spread it across others It took me years to learn this One big lesson, don’t tell your vpn to X , you will hate yourself , not telling people the vpn I am using so they don’t overcrowd it If you post a content in your main niche, you should be averaging 1k+ - 5k+ views Trust me it’s a lot of work I also started posting on instagram and YouTube and they work differently , don’t post the same video content on both without observing hashtags I also posted on lemon8 , one of my post average 10k+ views Daily I get around 50 users , I have gone viral several times, one of my biggest virality is 700k+ views I really want to buy more iPhone 7 and 8 , It costs me arround $50-70 for each locally here Recently I have been thinking of how do I get clippers locally to do this and train them but it looks like it’s hard because you have to train them Taking advice from the legend Alex Nguyen I have not made a lot but trust me , it works This is proof from one of the apps , we ask during onboarding where they find usshow more

Vitaliks mandarin fluency is a super bullish signal for... Ethereum 🐂 He had an open town hall at HK where community members asked him all sorts of questions, from the easy to the difficult The hard questions were all in Mandarin so i couldn't follow those 😅 At the town hall he laid out the guiding principle for Ethereum: cooperation without domination It's especially important in today's world where a powerful person dictates terms and others have to follow, or we have no cooperation & there's chaos What this means at a technical level is that Ethereums the world computer & we need to build enough trust that developers feel comfortable building apps on top of it. Solo staking, a conservative approach to changing the protocol etc are all part of this He also spoke on how new technology is a reset & creates a level playing field where the game starts again from zero with bringing a lot more people right to the frontier We are seeing this with AI (and zk too), where a noob developer can still catch up to a veteran with good prompt engineering. He shared his own experience of building an android app for the first time using AI despite having no prior experience in it Before people would say that EF needs to write more documentation. Now it's more relevant to show how deep seek integrations with solidity and Java can help easily create new Ethereum apps He sees AI as making it much easier for newcomers to build web3 apps & is making a push in this directionshow more

It’s been a year since the company I helped... start shut down. It was one of those ideas that felt truly “net-positive” for the world, and truly helped people on a personal level. So, over this last year I worked on 2 things — searching for an idea that feels net-positive and something people could connect with on a deep, personal level. That led me to build + launch 2 apps at the beginning of the year: 1. Lyrics: Daily Music Widget - an app that shows you song lyrics from your favorite artists, right on your home screen 2. one year - another app that shows how many days of growth you’ve had in a year Both of these apps had their ups and downs, but they made me realize some pretty cool things: - I want my apps to feel great to use - I want me apps to do one thing really well - I want my apps to feel like a human made them - and, I want my apps to always be made with other people So, two months ago I took those concepts, went to visit in SF, and started on an idea that I truly felt could change the way people live their daily lives. And, it’s launching today. This is Find Your Faith, an iPhone app that helps you discover a spiritual path that resonates with you, or helps you dive deeper into a faith you already practice. We started this as a way to help us with our own spiritual journeys. We wanted to explore different faiths in a way that was authentic to us. The beauty about spirituality is there is no deadline on when you should “figure out what you believe in” lol. It’s really something to check in on during the different seasons of your life. And, there isn’t just one way to do it. Some people may enjoy reading religious text, or others may prefer being in the presence of something greater than them. At the end of the day, these are just ways to give yourself the space to explore really tough questions and concepts. That’s what Find Your Faith (or fyf) does — helps you understand where you are on your journey, no matter where you may be, and gives you the space to sit in these questions every day. This is just the beginning for us, and hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed building it :).show more

Gifting 🎁🎁🎁🎁 Today, I demonstrated my commitment to supporting... my team. In my new role as Chief Executive Officer of VALUETECH Devices Limited, we are currently restructuring the company, onboarding staff, and establishing operational management procedures. One of our new senior staff members, who will hold a very important position, experienced difficulty contacting me via calls and texts for about three days. I realized that the phone he had been using for the past three years was in poor condition and no longer supported WhatsApp or other essential apps. He had given his good phone to his son who is in university. Out of my own pocket, I purchased a new OPPO Reno 12F (12GB/256GB) for him as a gift, a phone worth over ₦500,000. Despite not having officially resumed yet, this individual, who has over 16 years of experience in his field, has already secured two important distributors for us in the southwest region. He was extremely grateful and eager to start work tomorrow, but I reminded him that his official start date is May 1st, as stated in his offer letter. I believe this act of generosity will foster a positive work environment and contribute to the company's growth. Most importantly, it reinforces my commitment to prioritizing the well-being of our team. FagAlex CEO VALUETECH Devices Limited Valuetechshow more

Cal AI might be the most viral health app... this year. 8M+ downloads, projected to do $30M revenue this year. Built by two teenagers. Everyone's using it. But nobody's talking about the fact that their AI is completely broken... To the point where users are manually correcting EVERY meal. • Bowl of grapes: 60 cal estimate (actually ~260) • 4 boiled eggs: 1,010 cal estimate (actually ~300) • Meat portions: consistently off by 50% These aren't my words, but the reviews you can see for yourself on App Store and other places. If the whole USP is saving time vs manual logging, and you still have to correct everything... what's the point? What Cal AI did get right: Distribution. • Viral TikTok content • Smart influencer partnerships • 8M downloads in under a year They absolutely crushed GTM. But the product doesn't work lol. The gap between the "90% accuracy" claim vs the actual user experience kills trust. And in health apps, trust is everything. This is the problem with AI apps across the board right now. Everyone's racing to ship fast and go viral. Nobody's asking: "Does this actually solve the problem?" Distribution > product quality is a losing game. As a result, you're bound to encounter problems: 1. Training data doesn't match real-world variety 2. No depth sensing for portion size 3. Poor training data on homemade meals 4. Zero context (is that chicken grilled or fried?) You only get fast & inaccurate answers. This is why, when I started building my own recipe app, I looked at Cal and other AI nutrition apps and noticed that being accurate was the biggest factor. Here's how we're building Nonna differently: ✓ Multi-model AI (different models for different foods) ✓ User feedback loop to improve estimates ✓ Manual override that actually trains the system ✓ Ship when it works, not when it's "good enough" If the AI can't nail it, we're not shipping it. But accuracy alone is boring. So we're also adding some additional features that make you want to use it daily: • Fridge Story: shareable infographic of your fridge contents • Mystery Ingredient: weekly cooking challenges • Cuisine Spin: random inspiration when you're stuck • Expectation vs Reality: before/after photo collages Tl;dr: Distribution gets downloads. Product keeps users. Cal got millions of downloads. How many people still use it daily after manually correcting every meal for a week? Viral marketing with a broken product = expensive way to disappoint people.show more

LangGraph. CrewAI. Agno. Which one to pick? The good... news is that this will not matter soon! Finally, we have a full picture of how the industry is solving this with just three open protocols that work across ALL frameworks. It's not about picking the best framework. Instead, it's about understanding how protocols create interoperability. The Agent Protocol Landscape shows how three complementary protocols are creating a universal language for Agents: > AG-UI (Agent-User Interaction): - The bi-directional connection between agentic backends and frontends. - This is how agents become truly interactive inside your apps, not just as chatbots, but collaborative co-workers. > MCP (Model Context Protocol): - The standard for how agents connect to tools, data, and workflows. > A2A (Agent-to-Agent): - The protocol for multi-agent coordination. - How agents delegate tasks and share intent across systems. These aren't competing standards. They're layers of the same stack and have handshakes with each other. So instead of building point-to-point integrations, you build to protocols. Moreover, you can integrate LangGraph, CrewAI, or Agno into the same frontend, without rewriting your UI logic. These protocols let everything work together. For instance: - Your LangGraph agent pulls data via MCP. - It delegates analysis to a CrewAI agent via A2A. - Results stream to your React app via AG-UI. - Users see real-time collaboration in your interface. This way, you can focus on building agent capabilities instead of integration mechanics. The protocols handle interoperability automatically. CopilotKit unifies this entire stack into one framework so you can build "Cursor for X" style apps without implementing each protocol from scratch. It gives you all three protocols, generative UI support, and production-ready infrastructure in one framework. I have shared this playbook in the replies! It breaks down handshakes, misconceptions, and real examples and shows exactly how to start building.show more

🚨BREAKING: Google just merged Gemini and NotebookLM into one... unified workspace and it changes everything about how you use AI for deep work. It's called Notebooks in Gemini and it's the personal knowledge base that power users have been begging for. You create a notebook for a project, drop in your files, PDFs, and documents, give Gemini custom instructions, and every chat you have stays organized in one place. No more hunting through old conversations. No more re-uploading the same files every session. The wildest part is the sync. Anything you add in Gemini automatically appears in NotebookLM. Anything you add in NotebookLM automatically appears in Gemini. One source of truth. Two powerful apps. Zero friction switching between them. So you can start a research notebook in Gemini, ask it questions all week, then flip to NotebookLM to generate a Cinematic Video Overview from the same material. Next morning, open Gemini and ask it to write a full report on exactly what you just watched. That workflow used to take three apps and a lot of copy-pasting. Now it's one notebook. Rolling out this week to Google AI Ultra, Pro, and Plus subscribers on web. Mobile and free users coming soon. What do you think?show more

🚨 Aurora Alert! 🚨 Hey everyone, a Coronal Mass... Ejection (CME) from the Sun is heading our way, potentially sparking strong aurora displays tonight into tomorrow (Nov 7-8). NOAA predicts arrival of the CME around midnight UTC on Nov 7, but add +/- 7 hours for uncertainty. The CME we are concerned with specifically launched due to an M7.4 CME produced by AR 4274. In coronagraph imagery, a full halo eruption iswasclearly seen. This is how we know this particular eruption is coming at us. When it will hit and how strong it will be are not things we can predict until we see the shockwave detected by satellites close to Earth (ACE, DSCOVR at the L1 point). The forecast shows possible G3 storming, and there are multiple CMEs on the way besides the main arrival around midnight on Nov 7. There is also a coronal hole that may enhance and add additional complexity to the situation, affecting arrival times of the CME(s). Conditions need to align for the best-case scenario to play out. The CME needs to hit (most models have a high % chance of this happening, but you never know), and the Bz needs to be southward for some time for conditions to ramp up. The auroral ovals may expand to lower latitudes, and chasers above the 45th parallel may see auroras all night long. During substorms, the aurora "explodes" across the sky and becomes bright and tall. These explosive bursts push the northern lights higher in the sky, making them appear further equatorward. Download my free e-book and check my blog for substorm info: E-book: Substorms: Your aurora apps will likely not tell you when a substorm is occuring, but these times are VERY important since we have a full moon. Without a substorm, you may not be able to see the aurora well. To track substorm activity, I use the GOES magnetometers. I have a tutorial about how to use these data on my website: . A few aurora apps/websites may help you track substorms. For example, the Glendale App issues alerts when substorms are occuring: . This app has a bit of a steeper learning curve compared to others, but it provides useful alerts for catching brief intensifications of aurora. I also like Norlys ( and Aurora Notice ( Webcams are probably the MOST helpful resources, though. I have a large list of cameras all around the world and the northern U.S. on my website: . If you see the aurora on a webcam near you, it is out at your location, too. The Maine webcam in particular is great to get a "feel" for how aurora might shape up across the Lower 48. I always have that one pulled up as sun sets on the east coast to see if aurora can immediately be seen on the northern horizon. Keep following for more updates on this event. I am at a workshop today until 5 pm MST then traveling back to Calgary on my way to the Aurora Summit, so be patient with my updates. I am working as fast as I can :) Thanks!show more

🗓️ The Portals State of the Union is happening... on Sunday, January 28, where we begin to take the wraps off what we’ve been cooking over the last half of 2023. We have been strategically quieter on the timeline, while relentlessly focused on building a self-sustaining, successful platform that thrives with both web2 and web3 audiences. We have been validating secret projects, while competitors seem to be continuing in the wrong direction. The team has been working on the most valuable experiences and products possible now that we have the fastest/best-in-class 3D experience creator out there. Portals has always been a labor of love. It’s our life’s work, and we are not going anywhere. Solana is also here to stay, further establishing itself as a force to be reckoned with and gaining more of the recognition it deserves. It's time for us to put forward more of the on-chain ecosystem projects we have always wanted to do. Rolling out new systems, incentives, and experiences to fortify Portals as one web3's killer apps and top destinations. We have a lot to share, and we can't wait to show you. This year's State of the Union will be delivered in video format, across X, Discord, and in Portals. We'll be dropping more teasers while looking forward to seeing you on January 28!show more

I am the Under Secretary for Strategic Resource Integration.... We sit inside the Executive Office of the President. You won't find us on an org chart. We requested it that way. You think an office like mine spins up in a crisis. We've been open since January. Venezuela wasn't a war. Venezuela was the beta. Maduro proved the model the morning we took delivery of him. The President called it "working out brilliantly for both." He's right. It works brilliantly for both of us, and the customer will come around to the "both" on their own time. Kharg Island is the rollout. A third the size of Manhattan, and 90 percent of Iran's crude runs through it. 2 million barrels a day, one valve. I have prayed my whole career for a country that legible. 53 billion in revenue. 11 percent of their GDP. All of it funneling through a rock you could walk across before lunch. I kept the Venezuela playbook. I changed the classification banner and let find-and-replace do Caracas to Tehran. That was the plan. That was the whole plan. Page 14 still says Caracas. No one on the distribution list has ever reached page 14. They initial page 1. Page 1 is projected revenue. It goes up and to the right, the only direction this town can read. The Energy Secretary testified he was "unaware." Under oath, to Congress, the man who runs American energy. Good. He was never read into the compartment. The fewer names on the account, the cleaner the account. He runs the department. He does not run this. We don't say invasion. We say onboarding. Every onboarding has friction. The Marines off the coast are not an occupying force. They're field engagement. Iran said an invasion of its islands would "shatter all restraint." I logged it as customer feedback and filed it. The file is full. Engaged customers submit the most feedback. It's the quiet ones who churn. And Iran can't churn. That's the part I'm proudest of. We built the account with no exit. No competitor to switch to. We are the market, and the market is now total. Total is my word. I workshopped it. "Seize" scares people. "Total control of their markets" tests at 71, because nobody pictures a kid from Ohio on a beach when you say markets. We moved 22 tankers through Hormuz at night with the lights off. The President said he wanted to announce it so badly it hurt, and he held it a month anyway. That is the most discipline this administration has ever shown. 100 million barrels, he said. The fact-checkers say the math doesn't hold. They're junior. The number was never the deliverable. The number is the soft launch. He said he loves the inflation. People clutched their receipts. 90 a barrel instead of 250 is the discount, and 250 is a price I invented so this one would feel like mercy. How long will we be there? The President answered that. "We had to be there for a while." A while is my favorite contract length. It renews on its own. No court can find the end date. He wondered out loud whether America has the stomach for it. I don't need the country's stomach. I need its signature on page 1. He called the people who object stupid. I'd defend them. They're not stupid. They just read to page 14. Last thing. Annex C. The out-year targets. 3 more, redacted, marked pre-decisional. I can't tell you which 3. Total control of their markets. Nobody in that room asked which market. The crude still sails east, to China, the same as yesterday. We don't own the oil. We own the valve, the fear, and the word "total." That was always the only product.show more

I just sold my startup Talknotes for $200,000 on... acquire.com 💸🤯🤩💰🥳🎉 I launched it last August when I was looking for an idea I could grow with paid ads, and made a MVP in one week. I took it from $0 to $7500 MRR in just 11 months. 👉 Here is how I grew it from zero: 💡 Idea: I got the idea when I tried to write a tweet using Google Doc's transcription tool, but it was terrible. And I was pretty sure I wasn't the one too lazy to type. So I made my own solution, and Talknotes was created. The audience is pretty broad so it was a perfect fit for Meta ads However… ✅ Validation: My rule is to only reinvest what the project generates, so, no ads until I make enough cashflow ❌ Listing on startup directories + a few Twitter sales generated $700 after 10 days. Yes, it's not much, but more than enough to show there is interest in the product and tell me to keep working on it 🤩 I started adding the features users requested, but the launch effect started to wear off and daily revenues quickly went to $0 after a few weeks 🫥 I got depressed and almost gave up on the app... 😔 But luckily, my friends and Dan Kulkov pushed me to continue And I'm glad they did because In October, I launched on Product Hunt 😸 and it blew up 🤯 It got Product of the Day and reached $1500 MRR thanks to the media coverage 🚀🚀 Until then, everything was done using vanilla JS/CSS/HTML + Node for back end. It's simple and easy, but I saw the limitations, so I remade the app using Nuxt to make it easier in the future 🏗️ (thanks to @blackevilgoblin and Piotr Jura for the content/courses! Tim Bennetto as well for the basics!) After that, I took a break and then launched ads on Facebook. The strategy is simple: Catch people's attention, and show them how the app can help them improve their life. No need to over-complicate 🙅‍♂️ Making good creatives is 80% of the job when doing ads on Facebook, most of the technical stuff is done by AI now. Thanks to the boost in traffic, I implemented a feedback loop: 1) Get new users 👥 2) Learn to know them with the onboarding form 💬 3) Make more ads based on the data you get from onboarding 📝 And it completely blew up. MRR doubled in ~2 months However... In May, I had a bad burnout 🥵😩 Multiple bugs slipped into the app, and I had to spend 2 days fixing everything in an emergency while revenues plummeted. This completely fucked me up mentally and had a hard time working on the app after that ( 💀💀 So I decided to list it on acquire.com and made a Twitter post ( I listed it for $200,000, a pretty low price considering the revenues and fast growth. I could have gotten $300,000 if I accepted payment over time, but $200,000 today is better than $300,000 tomorrow for me. 🚨 The process went smoothly until we tried to use Escrow, which almost fucked up the whole deal. (details: I got extremely lucky because the buyer really wanted to buy the app, but this could have ended the deal. We had to wait over a week to get the money back from them, even tho they said they already refunded it. But luckily, after threatening them, they sent it back the next day 🙃 The buyer finally got the money back, I transferred every asset to him, and he sent me the wire. With the profit made from the app + the sale, and other projects, I'm 30% away from being a millionaire 🤯 With this amount, I can pretty much retire in Asia if I want to. But that's just the beginning, I’m going to launch new projects soon! 🚀 But before that, I need to take a real vacation and detox. My brain is completely fucked up by those last 2 months. I gained weight, and got brain rot from scrolling all day waiting for the acquisition to move forward 💀💀 Surprisingly, doing absolutely nothing is 10x more exhausting than working 15h per day 🥱 Now, all this might sound like an overnight success. It is not ‼️ This is the result of 7 years of failure and working like a madman. I launched over 40 projects in those 7 years, and most of them failed. But a few took off, and that’s all I needed All those weeks working 15h/day without weekends and vacation feels soul-sucking when you don’t see the end, but this is what took me there You only need to win once to snowball everything. Work hard, focus, fail a lot and keep shipping fast. 🚀🚀 Thanks to you for reading until here, and thanks to everyone who supported me 🤞show more

I built a PDF compression tool instead of paying... for it. It's funny because the more I get into AI, the more I realize how much I've stopped spending on SaaS subscriptions. Here are 5 things I used to pay for: 1/ PDF Compression → $9/mo 2/ Remove BG → $35/mo 3/ Typefully → $12.5/mo 4/ Link Shortener → $10/mo 5/ Color Palette Generator → $5/mo I've already replaced half of these with AI, and they're way better because they are personal and custom. No weird features or ads. Everything is hosted locally so I'm not uploading my data to random servers. I truly believe AI is changing the way we interact with SaaS entirely. More and more people will just build their own tools instead of purchasing generic subscriptions. It's easier because you just tell AI what problem you have, and it automatically comes up with a custom solution for you. I am already starting doing it. In a few months, I'll have my own "Home" hub where I have a bunch of custom apps working for me. All powered by AI. Pretty exciting!show more
