yoyooy new day i am sorry i forgot to write last week i was busy well wining stuff ehhe
anyway i hope u don’t think my title is very clickbaity cuz things have changed yes but it’s nowhere near i want it to be lol
but my life changed in sense the work i did in maybe last 2weeks was far far more effective than the work i had last sem(6 months)
i am going to back to blr after staying 2 months in delhi, back to clg, have 3 hours so gonna write my heart out
when i came back to home around may end, my goal was i had been working hard and have lot of stuff i wanna do but don’t know yet so uk just have a chill life enjoy time with family & friends, chilling doing nothing
thing i wrote at that time:
but hahha if i would do things according to the plan i had i would be somewhere else i am here, also mfs i downloaded porter robinson, nurute album, IT”S SO GOOD WHILE WRITING STUFF it’s my 2nd time listening it do check it out
alright in back may, i was tbh doing nothing small projects here and there, i was really fascinated my AI llms at kernel level i made my own GPT, then by own shritpedia (inspired by farza) & then my own ai assitant (add) looking back at it i think shritpedia is something which can be really cool and a good product, i envision the product something like
a wikipedia for all the ppl who have ever met & all the routines u do
this is cool idea, i have been talking to lot of ppl lately and am very bad at remembering names and what field they are specialized in, with having this wiki i can just ask an ai to do it, also u can give that to ur ai agents, these concepts of larpers of using a 2nd brain works like this, but idts they really make a good use case out of this (i started company brain after this)
uk my ideology of chilling was nice every day i’ll watch tons of series (breaking bad, mentalist, dexter(ongoing)) it was all really fun, but as soon as night came and i was with my laptop doing nothing
i asked wtf is the point of all this? I have been working yes but that’s what i have been doing for past 7 years, what’s the change? and i kept spiral ling
i was depressed because the reason i went banglore was to follow my dream, dream of just doing something particular, working on something in which a lot ppl wanna use it, i went to college and well did something (selling cold drink, selling RAG PYQ sites) but i kinda lost it
i was just working on small small projects, i was doing that for past 7 years, i wanted to just pick one field and just work on that, i wanna just freaking work on that
remember taking a chill break? fuck it we ball, i had 0 idea, no clue where to go nothing, i just had lots and lots of time, so i took this idea from YC’s request for startups, i just wanted to get started
i was feeling very lonely asw as this time, by all means i have my great family & friends, it’s just i didn’t have anyone to yap about things i am thinking about tech, i started being active on twitter and went this hackathon to just uk talk to ppl and yap a lot on my thinking, i ended up wining also but i was really happy i had a set off ppl
article i wrote:
Company Brain
i tried doing shritpedia for company level
I knew coding is not the solution in two days i coded a very very basic mvp through codex, and then just started talking to ppl, a lot of ppl, first week I was talking to 2-3ppl everyday, i got lot of insights from that, and from that insights i got to know my idea is trash, i wrote a whole article why i failed so check that out
it was sad but i was willing to take this, like idc i was happy that i failed than didn’t try i still believe a lot in company brain and i am sure i’ll do something with this idea
in two weeks i failed, it felt very very bad, i was visioning that company brain will be the next big thing, but Indian sme aren’t ready for agents workflow yet or my execution was wrong
many new ideas opened up with company brain one which really stuck w me is
when a company hires a new employ lot of energy / resources is gone while hiring
i still tbh i gave up on company very very early i should’ve at least given it a month or two, but again i got a learning next time whatever i am gonna do i’ll make sure to give at least 2months before quiting the idea
but ykw i got a really crazy cool person, SANKALP, funny enough for a whole year he was in my same class but i never really noticed him, he did so much calls and he got so much crazy insights until we realized it wasn’t worth the pursuit, he doesn’t know much about coding and stuff, but he’s shear willpower to learn and ambition he has, idgaf i’ll teach him coding i’ll make sure, that ppl who are as ambitious as me work with me, that’s why from now on you’ll lots of him, we can do sm together, i am so happy to have him man
Hey Tappr
(Clicky but for mobile)
i had this weird idea farza’s new clicky for mobile tbh i didn’t expect the whole thing to be this good cuz idk how android actually worked, i just wanted to build something in a weekend, so i built it, as random side project, tbh my all goal was to anyhow make this reach to farza, he looks at me and says wow what a guy i wanna work w him,
man sometimes i think my this healthy obsession with farza is actually not healthy, i should make better products instead of focusing on him
but then a simple demo i launched on twitter and linkedIn it blew of fucking linkedin so many msg so cool, i fucking got annoyed with shear amount of messages
i gave my product to ppl and realized it’s a good demo bad product, i could see maturity from a year in me, last year i would've thought i made it, i am now in terms of bigger builders out there, but no :( there’s levels to it, i want to make a product which ppl actually use, check out the detailed post i wrote about it
and farza commented on my post also, nah it’ the best demo i shipped so far
i shipped lot of more features and now it’s name is tappr u can check it out here i made a website for this and all
this demo i shipped i tbh hate it, i could actually see putting time and effort in making this demo cuz i thought ppl will see it, ehh i don’t like me being this conscious but yeah i haven’t been looking at the views in the post since i now know it mans jackshit to me
i made tappr paid very cheap (rs200/mo in india, else $9/mo) i am tweaking pricing but i don’t wanna have noise in the product, so there’s that, i still dk if it’s a good product or not but there’s nothing we can actually do
Future?
I can see the vision again with tappr, something an ai agents which can help old agin ppl or ai agents which will change the way ppl will look at their mobile phones, i think i start being delusional with the vision
which is a good thing, i had a call 2 days ago with anupam sir (he was host of the hackathon i won) he was pretty straightforward, i really liked his view and blant talking, he pointed out I was actualy falling in love with my product, which is a super bad sign, so i am trying my bst not to love my solution but lov the vision which i see
another very weird problem is idk where tf should i tap in, tappr is way too broad rn i am having positioning problems, and i have lot of in depth problems
if i make it for ppl trouble using phone (i can’t sell to them i have to sell to their sons, they won’t use my app again and again it’s a learning thing, idk tbh)
i was talking to tarun bhaiya about this (i went to adobe’s office) he gave 2-3 more use casses (atp i have thought over 10+ usecases for the app but idk where to tap in hehe) but more over that he said to just uk talk to ppl talk to my customers, just a simple and crazy good advice
tharun bhaiya love u, random shotout, but he’s one of best person i met in delhi space, where i could pore all my nerdiness into, he genuinely taught me a lot about body and how to just have a better lifestyle man it’s random but i am so glad
lately my music deep thought walks has been going a lot, i genuinely believe in tappr, i just don’t wanna fuck up the execution, or i should i say if i fuck up i wanna get back up early
life changing?
not really u don’t know what’ll do with tappr like next month only lol but it changed my life in some place, i know what to do and what i been missing, i hate that i didn’t start talking to ppl earlier, but well u can just see ur errors and fix it
this semester i wanna talk to more ppl who share same vision as me and then build stuff with them i’ll doing all of that
Hermes Buildathon
this should’ve been pretty up cuz that’s what i have been doing but there was this hermes biggest buildathon in delhi, i got in i was so happy, that i’ll actually meet the cream of best builders in delhi region
and again idfag about winning it was just yapping about stuff and listeing them yap but yea it was fun man
that’s all for this week from next week you’ll be seeing me back in clg
