Highlights

  • Now that AI has made it so easy to build an app, you should be spending as much time figuring the right things to build as you are actually building it.

    Validate what to build before accelerating the build.

  • Before you even start building anything, start a TikTok & Instagram account and start posting founder-POV content talking about your app.

    Test demand with content before committing to the product.

  • Make a Posthog dashboard to track your entire funnel: app install → go through onboarding questions → paywall conversion rates → app usage → retention.

    Instrument the full customer journey after launch.
