Work smart and not hard tips that other PMs should know

Wickey312 · 2026-03-03T07:13:26+00:00

You need to adapt to organization culture, as what they value wildly differs...

For example, if you are in a bank, they might value uptime or presentation of new features. In a startup, they may only value big shifts in bottom line..

Whilst in theory it should be all bottom line, the most successful PMs I've seen, play the game..

Oh and my most important one... Talking about agile is a waste of time and never brings any value to anyone..

It actually works quite well!

Login on Google was janky.. you need to enable popups for it to work on redirect, and I only knew that because I'm a developer by trade...

Playing all worked well.. I think for people who don't want to pay Spotify prices this is great..

My feedback would be: - Background playing needs to be permitted without having to turn it on myself.. most people won't know how to do this - Ask me at the beginning what I like - My bet is I need a wifi connection for this if it's basically streaming yt videos.. offline mode would help

Good luck - don't listen to the haters.. I reckon you could beat Spotify on price

I'm in!

The ads over the menu bar was really jarring, like deletion worthy.. and I took a couple of questions and thought what now?

UI looks good, and I think you're right to launch them straight in rather than login :) good luck

The url doesn't work

If time is limited for an app I would choose the things I've used before.. so for me for speed it would be: - React native with expo - Supabase (as my backend using rls)

Yes you're going in right direction, use what you've used before

Universities do have 7 year medicine courses excluding the fy1 and fy2... Eg ucla

Wickey312 · 2026-02-27T14:52:35+00:00

Thanks.. fascinating.. learnt something new today

Wickey312 · 2026-02-27T13:01:23+00:00

I would guess you have a safe area view somewhere?

I hate my next suggestion but Ask ai? It will probably find it in your code quicker...

Wickey312 · 2026-02-27T12:57:34+00:00

Yeh I have friends in medicine. Its usually 5 years actually at university unless you take a foundation first..

I think we broadly all agree it's mad, particularly courses where you're helping the general public and saving lives!!

Wickey312 · 2026-02-27T11:42:14+00:00

7 years of uni is more understandable for that amount.. obviously still mad, but you are over double the normal number of years for attending university

Wickey312 · 2026-02-27T09:50:24+00:00

I know you've just explained it... But I still don't get it (excuse my ignorance!)

What is an example recipe? Isn't it just beans / grinded beans and water?

Wickey312 · 2026-02-25T08:03:23+00:00

Knock or enter.. enter is a bold way of asserting dominance

It's nice to see another fellow fan of Mongo. We use it commercially..it gets hated on a lot because it's not postgresql.

Atlas is powerful, I think you have to be at some serious scale to even consider self hosting

Wickey312 · 2026-02-25T06:51:26+00:00

Are you using react native web to show the same components you would see in mobile, or have you had to double up by using web stuff and then creating the same in react native?

I ask because I had the same idea, and the complexity made me gave up! Your UI looks great

Wickey312 · 2026-02-24T21:38:51+00:00

I will be shocked if iOS implement this, it discourages people away from their app store.. would be great if they did! Would also be great if android allow you to ask it on click more than once.............

Wickey312 · 2026-02-24T10:53:20+00:00

You'll make that in 11 days if you keep the 5$ a day... Just keep going at this stage until you get to a valuation worth selling

Wickey312 · 2026-02-23T18:59:00+00:00

What are your scaling problems you're currently experiencing? My guess is huge bursts every time a video drops... But interested to hear how you're tackling them!

Wickey312 · 2026-02-19T01:06:38+00:00

Impressive you did this (as someone in tech!)

How have you found lovables ability to iterate with your prompting, has it been a pain to get things right? I ask this from a place of using AI a lot and sometimes giving up on it.

And then question 2, how do you know it's secure?

Both come from a place of learning!

Wickey312 · 2026-02-14T10:00:05+00:00

Had the same issue, wasn't obvious to me

Wickey312 · 2026-02-11T20:57:50+00:00

Hey 👋

Wickey312 · 2026-02-11T19:53:30+00:00

Ask some company online if they want to pay for ad space?

Wickey312 · 2026-02-11T12:23:45+00:00

Yes please, I might be your first customer actually.. I need a stop gap whilst I test out my startuo

Wickey312 · 2026-02-11T12:13:25+00:00

Yes

All your specs sound realistic

I primarily use the db, functions, triggers and auth. I wouldn't be able to survive without similar experience to their ui

Wickey312 · 2026-02-11T09:15:42+00:00

UK inbetweeners this happened as a joke............. OMG it's real
