    PH upvotes vs. iOS rating

    The other day i noticed something that didn’t make much sense so i thought i will ask you guys - some of the highly upvoted products had very few ratings/reviews on the apple app store. wonder why that would be? People don’t bother rating on iOS app store - i would imagine all these upvotes on Apple store would make that product sky rocket in Apple app store search?

    Let’s talk about a decision that you made but …

    are still not sure it was the right one. For a long time, I have been debating whether offloading my coding requirements is the right thing to do or not. ChatGPT has tilted the scale where i think i can move it all back into my camp but still not sure. What’s a decision that you have made but keep going back and revisit the other option.

    Getting into flow state

    It is one of the most amazing feelings and we have experienced it from time to time. Lately, I am beginning to realize that it's not just a nice thing to have but almost a necessity.

    Does your product evoke strong emotional response?

    It is said that the most engaging products or apps manage to trigger or engage their customer in a visceral, emotional way. Has this been true for your product? What aspect of your product does and what emotions? Is it through UX or features or through addressing their pain points?

    Best practices for niches on Reddit?

    Reddit is pretty amazing for niches - Most of my customers are from Reddit - but, I struggle to build awareness for my product on a regular basis. This is probably a very common problem, I think. Have you experienced something similar? Any best-known practices for community forming/building on Reddit?

    Do ads even work for solopreneur/bootstrapped products?

    My experience with FB ads has been very poor - almost all of the engagement metrics have been from spam accounts. Probably depends on the size of your ad budget :)... What's been your experience?

    How to get started with Journaling?

    I have heard this question a few times now so I thought I will share my experience. In case, it helps someone else too. For several years, I have been journaling consistently. These days, I am mostly focused on penning down thoughts about building my apps. Lots of highs and lows - so I want to make sure I capture all of them. Anyway, back to how to get started with Journaling. One of the...

    Journaling is the most effective way of unblocking my mind + brings focus to what I do subsequently.
