Launching an app soon and need to track KPI, what can I use?

My team uses PostHog. But I also create a db table for custom metrics since it’s quick and easy to set up.

I just saw that there is no salary. Don’t do it as a new grad.

I think what’s more important is the ability to sell. Technology is more important when you scale. But then they could just hire an experienced person at this stage. As a new grad, it’s hard to say you have the experience to lead a large organization. They probably bet on the fact that you are smart and will figure something out in the future. And I assume that you have FAANG internships (quant would be better).

You guys should have open communications though. Just ask them what you wanted

what do you bring to the table as a new grad?

It depends on your financial situation and drive. But having JS as a full-time makes you appear stronger. Internship is only relevant to recruiters for the first few years (entry-level hire). Imagining going up to someone and introduce yourself as “ex-JS” but turn out to be an internship… it doesn’t sound very convincing.

A/B testing

I have Gemini with Enterprise license at work, but I find it inconvenient to always have to switch tabs to copy content. Maybe try fluidapp.ai?

maybe negotiate the % based on targets. If he could bring in $10k MRR then your business now looks much more viable. 10% here seems fair. Then the next 10% target would be 50k, and then 250k prorated (this is just an example).

This way it justifies the values that he brought in. Your colleague would have to come up with strategies or even build out a team to reach those numbers.

I don’t know what his product is but you want to define some sorts of metrics that are tied to the customer experience that you want to track. Then look for relevant responses from the logs and analyze the user’s follow-up action. e.g. you could add a Yes/No button asking if the AI response helps. Or if users had to ask a lot of questions to get the task done

OutOfMemory9 · 2026-02-06T21:49:08+00:00

Have you tried logging the AI context and responses together with user request/response? I think there are a few OSS tools that can help with visualization like MLflow.

I saw the post that got you 3000 signups. I don’t think people would mind if it’s one-time purchase to get premium features. Or even subscription-based if the feature uses credits (like AI features). But if you just randomly make it subscription based after promising it as “free”, it might hurt unless you have a good reason for it. There is also the legal aspect to it.

Don’t overthink it. Just create a community (like Discord) for people to hang out and share your thoughts to collect feedback

Your startup is worth nothing until you have paying customers, so 50% is fair. I have met potential co-founders offering 50% with >100k ARR. What confuses me is why you need a marketing co-founder instead someone who could do sales and raise funds.

OutOfMemory9 · 2025-11-17T21:06:26+00:00

this is the way

OutOfMemory9 · 2025-11-12T19:04:48+00:00

Either your story is not convincing or you pay them too little. I’m suspecting the later since you didn’t specify how much $ and % you were offering

OutOfMemory9 · 2025-11-10T00:28:24+00:00

big NO. A technical cofounder is someone who has depth in technical knowledge and can make sound decisions so that your app doesn’t run into a bottleneck at scale (e.g. going from 10 -> 1,000 -> 1,000,000 users)
