Had to pause work on the startup for two weeks due to an unexpected emergency. Feeling better now, back to building, stronger and healthier. Will start sharing updates again and reach out to everyone who messaged. Let’s get back to it.

@divandcode Got it, I’ll look into it, hadn’t heard of it before. Seems like it could help me think a bit clearer. Have you used it yourself while building something?

started designing and building the MVP got 3-4 features in mind, but not sure which one to focus on first how do you decide what goes in the MVP vs later versions?

As a solo founder, designing + building the MVP is all on me using figma + react, juggling between polish and progress How do you decide when the design is “good enough” to move to dev?

@Da_du_do_di Collaboration is everything, especially in tech! What kind of project or startup are you working on? Maybe it can help you with this.. Mind connecting in DM?

@iashishkhangwal Don’t throw it out My checklist: After the basic functionality is set, I ensure - user login - feedback form - sentry plugged - extensive logging Some engineering pov - dev/prod environment set up - semantic versioning - release notes (this is life saviour)

How do you decide when your MVP is “ready” to show the world? Or do you just throw it out there and figure it out later?

Every Indian job listing: "Freshers with 5 years of experience." I was in 10th standard, bro. What do you mean?

Heard “we love what you’re doing, but it’s not the right time” for the 4th time this week. What’s your most awkward investor call story?

Not in YC. Not backed by YC. But religiously watching YC AI Startup School like it’s Netflix and my startup depends on it. (Because it does.) Croovi is learning too.

Week 1: “Just launched my MVP!” Week 3: “Redesigned the whole thing because 3 people said it looked ‘mid’” Building in public is the real Hunger Games.

Been a year since I touched React or built a UI. Now building a web app and realized… DevOps brain: "Let’s automate the infra." React + TypeScript app: throws 17 errors for a missing semicolon Me: crying in tsconfig.json :(

Cold emailed a bunch of brands & creators. Response rate? Somewhere between zero and my unread notifications. Building in public means sharing all the wins and the silences, too.

The best part about a remote job while building a startup? Flexibility to hustle anytime, anywhere. So I can take bigger risks with my startup. Less stress about rent, more focus on building something that matters. That’s the startup grind, balanced.

Launched a feature today. Broke two others. Fixed those. Now the UI looks like it was designed by a caffeinated raccoon. Startups are fun. Terrifying. But fun.

Started building in public to “build trust” and “grow early.” Reality? I tweet my wins like a TEDx speaker... ...and cry in the DMs when 0 users sign up. But somehow, people relate. Turns out, your messy story is the product.

Trying to build Croovi so creators don’t need 27 DMs, 3 calendar apps, and 1 breakdown to collab. Still in R&D. It’s giving “Tinder + Notion + Google Calendar” …for people who’d rather film a reel than open Excel. Building in public. Feedback = protein.

Started watching Y Combinator talks to grow my startup. Now I overthink every idea, dream in pitch decks, and question my entire onboarding flow. 10/10 would recommend.
