Building Lovable for... • 10h

Failed in Public: Week 1 - Survived. It's been a full week since my launch fell flat on its face. The plan was to "build in public," but it quickly became a lesson in "failing in public." There was no magic moment this week. No sudden flood of users. The reality was this: fixing bugs, talking to a handful of incredibly helpful beta users, and staring at code. It's not glamorous. It's a grind. But I'm still here. Still building. The biggest lesson from Week 1 is that the fear of failure is worse than the failure itself. Now that the launch is over, the anxiety is gone, and only the work remains. Thanks for following this slow, boring, but very real journey. On to Week 2.

Win or lose today, make sure you learn. The biggest failure isn't a setback, it's a setback you don't extract a lesson from. Stay curious! 🙏🏻

Well, today was the big launch day for my open-source Flutter tool, Crazzy. And to be brutally honest, it was a complete failure. Zero stars, zero users, zero downloads. It's a gut punch after 3 months of non-stop work, and for a second I thought abo

Airbnb, now worth ~$100 billion, was rejected by 7 investors in 2007. Not because it was a bad idea, but because VCs reject 99% of startups. Lesson: If ALL your plans depend on VC funding rather than customer funding, you are already fighting 99% f

Failure isn't the opposite of success - it's the foundation. Every mistake is tuition for the next breakthrough. The only failure is quitting too soon.
