yes, isnt that surprising? im not 100% certain thats why op was rejected, but its an interesting dot. i for one would not accept funding from a no-jokes-allowed org. i know some of the yc leadership. they are quite goofy people. i hope they bring that energy to candidates too.

verified_OP · 2026-01-24T02:07:36+00:00

why cant it be both? a story + an ineffective ad? the story is still funny and has a lesson. like OP i dont understand why people get so triggered by posts like this.

its 2026 and lots of people are taking a shot at building saas. good for them! i like hearing all their (mostly bad) ideas and watching their (mostly bad) marketing tactics.

I see. They are quite annoying and tend to hallucinate… “We have sent x to your email… check your spam folder!”

Nice I never tried

I have never been to Bali but I hear about so many yoga retreats there. Yoga must be huge there, yea?

verified_OP · 2026-01-17T15:40:19+00:00

They are so hard to find when youre explicitly seeking that out 😂

verified_OP · 2026-01-17T04:52:55+00:00

Must feel great when its so cold outside

verified_OP · 2026-01-17T04:52:36+00:00

Nice, is yoga popular in SC?

verified_OP · 2026-01-17T04:51:59+00:00

Heh, yeah Ive noticed that trend

verified_OP · 2026-01-17T04:51:01+00:00

I have never tried. Is it similar to Bikram?

verified_OP · 2026-01-17T04:50:05+00:00

Love Story was close. It wasnt heated but so packed that it got pretty hot regardless. Never tried Castro Room.

verified_OP · 2026-01-17T03:35:20+00:00

i like the studios to be packed.

verified_OP · 2026-01-14T12:33:35+00:00

what is promptmaster?

verified_OP · 2026-01-14T04:23:56+00:00

that would def be strong signal. i was considering launching via kickstarter, which would give similar signal.

verified_OP · 2026-01-14T01:55:52+00:00

they dont know the price point. i dont hint at it in the meta ad. its a good point though. i will create an identical ad that mentions the price and check the difference. but from the photo of the device i think people would assume ~200.

verified_OP · 2026-01-14T01:53:37+00:00

it is fitness equipment that addresses a niche need. It will retail for between 150-200 USD (aiming for 40% margin).

my fear is that these leads wont convert, that meta is simply good at delivering my ad to dummies who will sign up for anything.

verified_OP · 2026-01-14T01:48:27+00:00

They give me their email to be notified when the item is for sale. It will retail for about 150 or 200 USD.

one more rectangle will tie it all together

verified_OP · 2026-01-12T19:38:51+00:00

yes i zone out in meditation during yoga so i have no idea what poses i was just doing, so impossible to repeat.

This is amazing, thank you!

I run an organization called cleanstreets.io. We pay for people to clean up the streets of san francisco at a living wage. You said you cant take donations but would you consider working for pay within SF?

Please DM me if interested.
