tbh, I’m super impressed by @WisprFlow marketing.
There are 100s of open-source alternatives, and they’ve still built a company valued at $2B.
Building software keeps getting easier. Getting people to notice, try, and choose your product is still hard.
Proves marketing and distribution is the real most now.
Introducing Yap, a free and open-source voice dictation and video messages for Mac
Yap turns what you say into clean text, records your screen, and takes notes on every call, all on your Mac.
So you can just say it, the way you meant it.

I realized this after my quit my full time job around 4 years ago.
I had good coding and design skill at the time, but when I started posting on X I realized how important and hard it is to talk about your work.
It's a whole different ball game.
Creating a product/business that solves a specific problem is one thing, but convincing other people that why your solution is better, is entirely different game.
It's hard to put your intuition and thoughts into words that other people understand.
I've been taking 10-15 min in the morning to plan out how I'll be spawning agents in parrallel for the entire day.
I write down most of the tasks, and draw rough rectangles and arrows around the ones that can run at the same time, then use those groups to decide what to hand off.
I used to do this in Figma previous, but it's super satisfying to scribble out each box as a agent finishes. Also it's a great way to get back on track, if you've drifted away while your agent is doing the work.
Today's plan is mostly creating some design tools, to speed up the creation of a few effects for the team.
P.S. I can read my handwriting.
How do people find the courage to give random AI productivity agents entire access to their computer
online marketing is cool and all,
but for some reason I love such creative offline campaigns.
holding something physical just makes you feel something.
folks at @WisprFlow are masters at this.
might not convert as much, but ya do it on a big scale and at the right places, a lot of people remember your brand and ya get good ROI in a longer timeframe.
We handed out 500 newspapers at one of India's biggest design conferences, one that's been running since 2006.
The paper was us going through the recent launches and writing down where each one went wrong with its positioning
The last few pages are how we structure ours.
I wrote one line in my notes while I was there:
Art is not aesthetic
It's strategy
Human like is not human enough
We're searching for a connection not an answer
