A common pattern in consumer AI over the last couple years: An app that generates AI portraits of you will go viral—but then users churn after a few days. I started advising one of these apps last year called VYBE and the goal was to turn it into a...

I tried it out. Here is the result: 1. App asks you to upload three portrait and 3 full body pictures of yourself. 2. On any shopping website you can then generate a picture of yourself wearing the clothes. It takes way too long to generate the final picture. UX could be improved a lot here. Result quality can also be improved. Background is weird in my generated image and the insertion into the asics website doesn’t work. Love the concept of honey for mobile!

@vybeappp Been keeping my eye on this one. It's been awesome to see you guys go from AI social to AI pics to niching down into an AI shopping app with an incredible GTM strategy. Masterful iterating.

@vybeappp Everyone is an AI wrapper now with different interfaces. The best UI/UX implementation wins. There is clearly a use case and I myself want this but not in this form and payment structure.

Jason Citron on the growth hack that got Discord its first few thousand users “We started working on [Discord] in January 2015, and within I’d say two months, some of our friends were very excited about it but we didn’t really have any users. It was pretty clear they wanted to use it, it just wasn’t exactly correct. We rebuilt the voice chat engine three times, for example. But I’d say within 3-4 months, we had 20 DAU that weren’t us.” However, as Jason explains, growth stalled after those first 20 users: “We were like, ‘How do we get the word out?’ Because everyone was actually very skeptical about a group chat app for gaming. People would say, ‘This is the dumbest idea ever, no one is going to use this.’ And even people who played games, many of them thought, ‘Why would I want this? I already have whatever app I’m using.’ And so we were having a hard time getting other people to try it.” Jason recalls a period of 3-4 weeks sitting around thinking, “We like this, but maybe no one else does.” Then they figured out their growth unlock: “The unlock for us was inviting people to give feedback on the app, as opposed to saying, ‘Try this thing out we’re selling to you.’ What we actually did was we went to the Final Fantasy 14 subreddit, and we got one of our friends to make a post on the subreddit basically saying, ‘Hey, I’m trying out this new voice over IP app. What do y’all think about it?’” Jason continues: “People found it on Reddit, clicked on that link, went into the server, and then they were talking to us and trying it out. And they went back to the subreddit and were like, ‘Hey, this is pretty cool. I met the devs. They seem pretty cool.’ We got 50 users that day from that post and then that 50 turned into 100 the next day and it sort of started to snowball. And then we did this playbook for six months and that was basically the beginning of how it started growing.” Video source: The Twenty Minute VC Harry Stebbings (2024)

John Collison: We only had 50 users two years after founding Stripe “We started working on Stripe in the Fall of 2009, and we launched Stripe in September 2011,” John Collison reflects. “I remember right at the beginning when we were starting it I said to Patrick [Collison], ‘Yeah let’s do it. How hard can it be?’ Which gives you a sense of our mindset. And the answer was: two years of difficulty. We had not predicted that.” John remembers feeling dejected when Stripe only had 50 users two years later: “When you spend two years getting 50 users, it doesn’t feel like a whole lot of progress. It feels like things are going pretty slow.” But this is one of the challenges of startups, he argues: “If you’re working on a startup that’s a bad idea, it’s going to feel like slow-going. But if you’re working on a startup that’s a good idea, it may feel like slow-going too.” Yet slow growth has a silver lining: “I think the thing that allowed us to take off in the subsequent years was the fact that since we were spending so much time on each one of those users; since we were hyper-focused on building a great product; and since we weren’t dealing with problems of scale yet, that allowed us to build the product that we wanted. Part of the culture that set in really early on was taking abnormally good care of those early users.” The Stripe founders would get an email or phone call anytime a user ran into a bug. When they sent the customer an email moments later alerting them that the bug was now fixed, people’s minds were blown. They set up a Campfire room that any customer could join and use to message John and Patrick at any hour of the day or night. And if a user was based in the Bay Area, the founders would invite them to come by the office and help integrate Stripe for them. In the Stripe dashboard they would prompt their customers for feedback and feature requests. Then the Stripe founders would reply to that feedback within 10 minutes. “What this meant was that even though the user growth was happening quite slowly in the early days,” John explains, “it actually had a pretty surprising viral effect where people had a good experience, they told their friends about it, and we were able to spread entirely through word-of-mouth even to this day.” Video source: Stanford eCorner (2015)

These young ladies thought it would be fun to walk around in the middle of the night, they wound up at the park were just hanging out on the swings, chatting amongst themselves. Then they heard people surround them with guns drawn, ordering them onto the ground. The people yelling and screaming don’t sound like police but they were too scared to tell. Should they have just ran for it, what’s the worst that could happen? While living in NC, my cousin and I were so bored all the time especially at night, this was before the N64 came out from Nintendo. So at night we would steal a few beers from the fridge and would walk around the middle of the night sipping some beers and seeing where we end up. While out this night we saw the same old Chevy truck keep driving by. In the third pass they started yelling aggressively and one waved a rifle that was sitting in the trunk bed. We figured it was just a few drunk locals with nothing better to do. So we ended up deciding we needed to walk back home. We saw them again and we were close to a gas station so I decided we should run to the gas station in case these guys try to get cute. They ended up going to the gas station too, we were nervous because we thought they were coming in for us. But one of them grabbed some sodas and a Slim Jim and they left. Sometimes people do things like this just for fun, they think it’s funny to try to freak people out, I have a feeling these girls were just a victim of a few bored teenagers and weren’t in any real danger.

Joe Kent: ‘Israel convinced Trump on assassinating Ayatollah Khamenei KNOWING the US would be trapped in a war against a more radical Iran.’ The Israelis were very shrewd, and they understood that once this war started, it would go exactly like it is right now, and it would quickly become politically unpopular in the United States. That’s why the Israelis got President Trump on board with killing the Supreme Leader right off the bat, because once we killed the Supreme Leader, we knew there’d be a rally around the flag effect in Iran. It would be nearly impossible for the President at that point to get a negotiated settlement with the Iranians because the Iranians would become so radicalised, essentially they would know that they were under siege. Not to mention the the tragedy at Minab where we killed nearly 200 school children. That basically makes it the popular sentiment in Iran, even for people who were against the Islamic regime, it has them now rally around the Islamic regime. And now even moderates probably can’t get a deal with President Trump, even if they wanted to, because of the ramifications they would face inside of Iran. The Israelis knew all this, and that’s why it was essential for the Israelis to get us on board with killing the Supreme Leader within the first 24-48 hours of the war, so now the Israelis can kind of back off and we are we are now locked into this conflict where Trump wants some kind of a deal. He’s not going to get it diplomatically, and so now he’s left with nothing but various courses of action that involve military escalation. That’s why I’m recommending him just, you know, flip the table and completely walk away and then work on using the economic carrots and sticks to get the Straits of Hormuz open back up again.’ —Joe Kent, former Director of the US National Counterterrorism Center, on the latest episode of Going Underground Watch the full interview in the quoted post 👇

AI instead of UI The last few years radically changed how we think about digital products & product design process in general. What we are witnessing right now is a transition where AI is no longer just a feature; it is becoming the infrastructure of interaction. For decades, UI design was rooted in the concept of “Happy Path,” a series of static, linear screens (routes from A to B) designed to funnel users toward a goal. This “one-size-fits-all” approach assumes that all users have the same mental model, which is far from the truth. The rise of AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini is showing that we are moving into an era of Generative Interfaces. Instead of a designer pre-determining every button and menu, the interface is synthesized in real-time based on user actions. Back in 2019, Gleb Kuznetsov and I were working on the concept of morphing Interface, the idea of a UI that adapts its structure based on user intent. The great thing about this UI is that it was highly dynamic: different users saw different content/contextual actions based on their behavior. This concept was crazy in 2019, but it is highly relevant to the modern state of the product design process. And I strongly believe that it represents the future of UI design. We will move beyond the “AI chatbox" crutch Yes, many products today treat AI as a sidecar (think of Copilots or chatbots pinned to the side of a traditional dashboard), but this is a transitional phase. Why? Because adding a chat window to a 20-year-old software layout is like putting a jet engine on a horse-drawn carriage. That's why the future isn't "AI as an add-on"; it is AI as the Operating System. AI will power generative interfaces that are rooted in anticipatory design: UI won’t wait for a command; it will surface tools based on the user's current environmental context and historical behavior. This evolution changes the very nature of product design, and we will move away from designing pages/screens and toward designing systems of logic.

the future is not the app store a 6 minute rant vibe coding tools have one problem no one's talking about anyone can make an app but no one can release an app posting on tiktok is instant, posting on youtube is instant what if posting a video on tiktok took 2-7 days and a panel of individuals who have NEVER posted a tiktok on their own, determined if your video was "tiktok-like" welcome to the 2025 app store, where this is the case let me explain a long time ago, when the first few iphones were released, apple had a tough battle motorola and blackberry were great competitors with phones people loved apple decided to open up the app store, and invite devs to come create whatever they wanted the app store was created by people like me, iBeer, Paper toss, Bump. these are my founding fathers. people who treated engineering as art. they didn't care about being cool they cared about making their friends look cool and using iBeer made you look cool the catch was -> iBeer was only available on the iPhone as hundreds of these iPhone exclusive apps were released thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions flocked to use an iPhone small, focused, creative apps made the iPhone what it was but as soon as the iPhone became incumbent, the doors shut. tight. new rules. new regulations. new taxes. i spent the last 6 days working on an app we release an app a week at Danger Testing, bringing back that old energy. making the internet fun again i didnt sleep much, and even with the trauma the app store has put me in before ~ i had faith. that they would do right by this work I put in I was wrong They haggled with me for a few days on the type of data I was storing, which was none ~ (they would know that if they were engineers) Then at the last minute mailed it in with a rejection, with the words "this app is not app like" a sentence that means nothing Guideline 4.2 - Design - Minimum Functionality this is a guideline they hide behind anytime they have decided internally they don't feel an app should be released, but don't want to tell you why you leave me stranded. no where to go, no improvements to make, just go away there's a huge opportunity waiting to happen in apps right now for the first time apps can be cultural commentary, apps can be viral and ephemeral APPS CAN BE EVERYTHING YOUTUBE VIDEOS CAN BE software is fast, software costs nothing everything is lined up except the app store as it stands isn't a platform, it's a government and your average vibe coder is not going to push through a rejection, let alone 20+ rejections -> which i received on my first app of the year millions of apps will be made the success of these apps should be dependent on distribution, not on if some dude thinks its legit This revolution will NOT happen if the doors we have to go through are owned by the app store We need something new, something true and beautiful and welcoming Danger Testing wants everyone to be an appstar This tweet is not on the heels of a single rejection It's on the heels of hundreds of app store rejections in a lifetime A battle to provide the world with what I know it will love But a battle filled with friction at every turn due to the suits I remember being at a hackathon and making this app with andrea The judges ranked us last place, said the app was too goofy Today the last iteration of that app got 25+ million views across the internet This is the new world A group of dudes sitting behind a table don't get to decide our reality, we get to create it Fight back Don't ever allow yourself to be subjected by non shipper losers with no courage The cavalry isn't coming We are the cavalry Let's fight
