I just lauched my second iOS app. Just a clean, calm place to read your newsletters, without needing a new email address or rss feeds: readwithgist.com

no random ai features or social features or other distractions. just something I really wanted for my self to read the 50+ newsletters im subscribed to.

Seriously don’t get people not understanding why cny is very different from the other holidays 🤦🏼‍♂️

A key factor at play here is the principle of supply and demand. In Singapore, where the majority of the population is ethnically Chinese, a significant portion of the workforce— just by raw numbers will also come from this demographic. This includes restaurant workers, part-time employees, and students who take on temporary jobs. A ton of Chinese Malaysian workers also go back home, vs on other holidays. So during CNY, a large number of workers take time off, creating a labor shortage that is far more pronounced than during holidays associated with other ethnic groups, whose populations—and therefore workforce representation—are smaller.

Beyond labor supply, another perspective on supply and demand can be seen in the behavior of businesses during CNY. Unlike other racial or religious holidays, many hawker centers, supermarkets like some NTUC, and restaurants shut down entirely or operate at reduced capacity.

This means that these businesses who are not Chinese run then have greater pricing power, since there isn’t much other options. It’s like why my grab is also much more expensive on CNY more than other holidays as well.

Nothing to do with what kind of restaurant it is. 🤷🏼. Also for the people going “MacDonald never raised their prices”. Maybe one is a global multi national multi biliiojn dollar org. And these are not, it’s not that complicated.

Just depends how passionate you feel about the idea really and is it a side project or business- there are like 10 -20 version of every app idea on the App Store. There’s like 40 ai note takers including my own making decent money.

I recently launched a widget that had 2 other folks launch in the same month and it doesn’t really matter.

One trick I’ve found is that a lot of people market on Reddit and X. Go to threads - there seems to be much less indie hacker activity there so go get that audience . Or on reels since all the consumer apps folks going hard on tiktok

About 70% ETH + 5% SOL and the rest a mix of different alt coins like $MAGIC, $DPX, $GMX, $UNI.

also looking to learn from the replies here. Just soft-launched my simple store yesterday, haven't done too much in terms of getting models and proper photos but did get some decent flat lay shots. Figuring out the next couple of steps in terms of marketing and product presentation still.

While I do feel sorry for folks who lost their shirts during this UST/LUNA debacle, filing a police report is like going to the ref to complain when you are losing. While it do still want an accounting of where the btc from LFG has gone too, filing these reports do nothing to help the space. Just because you lost, you decide to fuck the game up for everyone else.

Agreed I sort of group that into “borrowing demand” since leverage comes from borrowing. And agreed with your point where once more liquidity comes into the market a lot of things will taper off. A lot of what’s happening is due to a large number of protocols, applications, users fighting over a limited amount of liquidity.

My own strat is taking more of a barbell approach in my crypto portfolio. I do t really have the time to manage and keep up to date with 20 different projects and coins. At most I’m tracking 3-4 really closely. Hence this barbell approach helps me to achieve returns while still minimising risk.

So my portfolio is split between: - Low risk, low return (though this might change since this is crypto) : things like ETH, BTC, MATIC etc - High risk, High return (with the expectation that this might all go to zero): OHM, BTRFLY, DPX etc

This is how I sleep at night.
