Day 7 of building something new… Today I got my first signups from TikTok!! 🤩🎉 Still none of my videos have gone viral but even getting a few random people to download my app from a video feels great. I also finally submitted my YC app today. Decided to rerecord the video since my pitch changed slightly as I sat with it more. Now back to building!

Day 5 of building something new! 👩‍💻 Today was a build day! After the app release yesterday, I have a few dozen users now. Needed to set up tracking to better understand behavior & continue to iterate. Set up Posthog (win for the day was credits through @posthog startup program). Also added a page to onboarding to direct users to rate the app. Bc App Store SEO matters. 🫡

Day 4 of building something new! 🚀 My app got approved & is now live on the App Store! 🎉 This is the first time I've had my own app live (exciting). Coworked with two friends and got some really amazing user feedback & hype. My own TikTok content isn't going anywhere, so spent some time researching potential creators to work with. ps - thanks for all the support here! Amazing by how many of y'all are invested in me sharing my building journey :))

Day 3 of building something new! 🚀 Apple denied my app due to issues with iPad & the support page. Made the tech changes and resubmitted to the App Store. Spent several hours last night scrolling TikTok to better understand different audiences & virality. Feels like a waste of time, but got some reasonable learnings. I currently have 1 account I'm actively posting on & 2 others I'm "warming up" in other niches. My #1 priority now is figuring out user acquisition (hmu if I know anyone who wants to advise on this). ps - thanks to my friends at @clay for letting me work out of their office today :))

Day 2 of building something new :)) Today I drafted a @ycombinator application & recorded an application video. Will probably submit later this week. 🤞 I redesigned a core page of the app to make it more clear. And, again posted 3 TikToks (all stuck around 300 views). There are a few potential niches I could market to and I'm still trying to refine which niche and messaging works the best. Will continue to experiment.

thank you! (it gave you a lot of friends here haha)
