The harder something gets, the happier I get because I know most people won’t do it.
Shift your mindset from “this is hard” to “no one else is going to want to do this.”
It flips from “poor me” to “poor everyone else who has to compete with me.”

You NEED analytics in your app.
You should be tracking every click, how long users spend on each page, and exactly where they’re dropping off.
This doesn’t just help you find bugs. It shows you the pain points in your app that are stopping people from subscribing.
Watching how real users actually use your app will teach you more than guessing ever will.
You can obsess over your onboarding, but seeing 10 users going through the flow organically will teach you more than an entire month of building

You gotta be so messed up in the head to go to NYC and think, “Hmm, I should move here”

Add this to your app release todo list
You need to request access for EACH app
And it takes 2 months to get approved
🚨 Apple just gave app developers a new way to stop subscription cancellations
The new Retention Messaging API lets you show users custom offers when they try to cancel
You can:
- Offer a cheaper subscription
- Give them an exclusive discount
- Remind them what they’ll lose access to
- Show custom text and banners
Basically, you get one last chance to save a subscriber before they cancel
Apple just opened up access more broadly and you can apply now

Hanging out with old friends who aren’t doing anything interesting with their lives is the worst
They’ll spend an hour picking your brain about everything you’re doing just to tell you why none of it is gonna work
I hate meeting up with old friends when all they do is try to talk about what I do, ask dumb questions and try to relate with stuff that are irrelevant
Like bro, you clearly don't know shit about shit, it's ok, lets just talk about something else

As long as you don’t quit, you will win.
You just have to keep going.
Get feedback, use it to improve, and repeat that process over and over again.
If you do that on a long enough time horizon, eventually you will win.
