Let me start from the creator s perspective: I personally don t have a product (apart from hiring people for creative work or offering personal consultations).
But as a creator, I constantly share content, insights, and information, value that helps me build trust (for free). Based on that perceived expertise, people eventually decide to work with me (a paid service).
According to @RevenueCat 's State of Subscription Apps 2026 report, "hard paywalls convert 5x better than freemium, but with significantly wider variance."
Day 35 download-to-paid, freemium vs. hard paywall

I am a Computer Science student doing research into how solopreneurs and small startups create new apps and what their stack looks like. Particularly, I'm interested in how you handle things like authentication, billing, and permissions/authorization in your apps.
Let me know what you're working on below and how you're going about it -- I'd love to connect for some quick calls to learn about your product and talk about your process in building it!
Since I haven't been able to meet my work goals very well in the last few quarters, I now plan to approach them more systematically and not push myself too hard on work goals, as that ultimately led to problems that made my plan less sustainable.
A story and an experiment have been spreading on X: Scientists uploaded the brain of a fruit fly into a computer, and now it lives freely in its own simulation.
We managed to clone the physical form of animals more than 30 years ago (for example, the cloning of a goat using SCNT in 1999). There was even a controversial case in China where a scientist was sued after attempting to create gene-edited babies in 2018.
A tagline is the first piece of content a user will see about your product on the leaderboard. It's so important that you get it right. You should be able to get a really solid idea of what your product is just by reading a handful of words.
In the spirit of forever optimising our taglines, I wanted to do a little experiment:
I would love to know what you people are working on. Maybe I will find some excellent and exciting tools, SaaS, extensions, or productivity tools that I can share with my audience.
Early-stage founders often try to improve their product as much as possible and tend to take almost any feedback into account.
Sometimes they end up adding every feature users (even non-paying ones) ask for, even when those features are unnecessary. The product then becomes more complicated and harder to use.
And I m not even talking about the stage when the product is already established. At that point, there are more users, and their expectations start to differ.
