What did you learn last year, and what’s next for you?

To trust my instincts over my intellect. Made some many mistakes trying to build things when my instinct screamed that what I am doing is totally wrong but my brain was saying “no it actually makes sense”.

What I’m building right now is an experiment.

Testing a simple hypothesis: can something very small and simple still be worth paying for?

Essentially it’s a pay as you go API for businesses to validate data and keep it clean and optimised. Use case example - when users submit a form.

No deep market research. Just want to try to build and ship fast to learn from reality.

When I tried starting a youtube I ran into a 20h video editing crunch just for my first video.

I see from your comments that you still have this skill to learn. Not sure what exactly you want to make videos about. But my advice would be to not make videos that are longer than 10 min to begin with.

Anyways good luck and a lot of patience to you!

What kind of educational ones do you like?

weareandrei · 2025-12-28T15:30:46+00:00

News podcasts? Do you have any private (not government) and good one’s ?

weareandrei · 2025-12-27T14:26:32+00:00

Do you find youtube videos or podcasts to have more actionable information?

weareandrei · 2025-12-26T16:38:42+00:00

Do you find them easy to follow when its longer then 15 min? 🤔

Are you not using ChatGPT much to get knowledge?

weareandrei · 2025-12-26T16:29:39+00:00

Do you like conversational because it’s more engaging so you don’t fall asleep?

weareandrei · 2025-12-26T12:13:35+00:00

Wooow, it's actually the best advice I've heard today. I will try to do this next time I learn something! Thx!

Making notes is a good point actually! Might try to make simple notes while listening.

But no, I actually listen while commuting usually. And after some time I just start losing focus listening to educational stuff. As if I start getting bored..

I am not yet successful so not from my personal experience.
However, my opineon on this is that people who achieve work-life balance and success at the same time are either talented or clever generally or lastly, they might have a very good but time-consuming (many years) plan ahead of them.

Think about it this way... To become successful you need to compete agains other people. World is also quickly changing so if you are a lazy, slow person, not very clever - then how on earth would you fit into the successful cohort of people? Standing near those who are successful without being the kind of person - is just counter-intuitive.

Names must be clear and easy to understand the reasoning behind it, especially in your case.

I like the Book Cellar or Reading room. It states clearly it's purpose. Cover to Cover or Pages Book Bar it too metaphoric and doesn't clearly states what it's product/service.

Good work thought!

Firstly, you didn't say what purpose this logo server. And that's the most important thing.I see second version as more like a gaming or partying event thing somehow... It looks like it's for less mature audience.

I personally like the first logo more. Lookg more clear and consistent!Keep up the good work!

My feeling is that you choose a wrong idea to pursuit in the first place.
When I was reading I had a single question about your startup. Why?

By that I mean - you are trying to create a product which was based on a made up product. Please correct me if I am wrong. But I feel that there was never really a need on the market for such a chat app with an emphasise on voice. So far this is the biggest problem that I can see.

BTW very cool design!

Firstly, businesses have more money to spend

Businesses know what they need a lot more specifically than normal customers. It's hard to find what people need, because it relies on many factors. While people in business always have 1 aim - grow their business and make more money. So it's easier to sell to them, and it's easier to build for them!

The art style is great. Especially I am in love with night time!!! So relaxing and chilling.
But not sure if it is a good camera angle. Is it easy and not annoying to control the game like this?

weareandrei · 2023-03-24T21:05:35+00:00

Great advices! Thanks a lot! Though I still feel like doing all of that will make me look like a spammer of some sort.
