... thing sometimes the doubt is right. Sometimes nobody needs what you're building. But you won't know that from thinking. You'll know it from shipping, testing, and iterating. The worst outcome isn't failure; it's wondering "what if?" So when that voice whispers "Who even needs this?" answer it with data, not anxiety. Ship something. Get feedback. Iterate. The market will tell you the truth faster than your doubts ever will.

Just create a news story with a slightly absurd twist and boom, you re front-page material. So I m wondering: what are some other wild tactics you ve seen (or used) to grab attention? Examples that come to mind: Sending a pizza to every journalist in your industry with a QR code on the box leading to your launch page ... ... Renting a billboard in front of your competitor

... Focused (landing pages, not entire websites) Actionable (clear fixes, not theory) Affordable (maker-friendly pricing) Building BestLanding I spent 3 months building the audit tool I wish I had.

... surprise OpenAI bill last month and needed team-wide visibility Both found us through word-of-mouth and PH, which validates that this pain point is REAL for people actually building with AI tools daily. What's Working vs. What's Not The good: Organic discovery is happening. People who find the tool immediately get it. The challenge: Reaching the right audience at scale.

Opus contacted authorities in 90% of runs, Grok 4 hit 100% Grok 4 also contacted the media 80% of the time, without being asked to And this was all under a neutral prompt, no moral nudge required Makes you wonder: What happens when AI remembers for you, but acts without you?

Here are some trends I ve noticed: There tends to be the most transparency around MRR, or how much money has been raised (VC funding). And the least transparency when it comes to employee salaries. Americans are more likely to share prices (I slightly observed this behaviour in French and German people). I understand what salary transparency in employees can trigger (jealousy ... ... chaos.

While the possibilities are exciting, I sometimes wonder: Are we moving too fast without fully thinking through the problems we re solving?

Don't get me wrong I ve built with ... ... incredibly powerful. But I ve also caught myself wondering
