Many guides suggest building mobile apps by combining outside services. From our audits, this approach can quickly eat into a small app’s budget. We often see apps where hosting on…

I wrote this myself (Director at Budventure). I keep getting asked: How much does a React Native app cost in the US? I wrote down the common price ranges and the reasons that usual…

I think a lot of people push back on calling LLMs AI because the word means different things to different people. For many engineers, AI used to mean systems that can reason, adapt…

The spending numbers are wild. More than the moon landing and we’re mostly using it to autocomplete emails and generate slide decks. That doesn’t mean it’s useless. It just means t…

I think you’re onto something. Every time we blame the model, I wonder how much of it is just the system we dropped it into. If you put anything, human or model, inside a loop that…

I don’t think you’re missing anything. The hype cycle is real. But I also don’t think the signal is zero. It’s just buried under capital and compute flexing. The pattern I see isn’…

I see this split clearly in real products: some users treat AI like a tool to support their workflow, others treat it like a replacement for thinking. The first group uses AI to re…

I don’t think AI is killing B2B SaaS. It’s exposing what was already broken. A lot of legacy SaaS shipped features that never solved real customer problems; AI just makes that obvi…

That description matches a lot of what we’ve seen in real products. AI does make some parts of development and workflows easier like summarizing data, generating initial drafts, or…

I’ve gone through a similar journey, not in big tech, but in practical business work. We started with quick experiments: generative prompts in internal tooling, a couple of proof-o…

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I totally get where you’re coming from on notifications. It’s like apps that bombard you with prompts or notifications right away are almost disre…

This matches my experience pretty closely. A lot of teams treat notifications as a default feature instead of something that has to earn its place. From the builder's side, it’s of…

This is a really helpful way to separate the two. I think a lot of product discussions collapse engagement into notifications, when in reality many useful tools are pull-based by n…

This is really helpful. That matches what I’ve seen too, but you’ve explained it more clearly than most product docs ever do. The part that stands out to me is how default notifica…

Users don’t delete immediately. They mute notifications first. By the time deletion happens, it’s weeks later. For people building mobile products: – What usually triggers the mute…

I keep seeing AI added to mobile apps as a way to “fix” low engagement. In practice, it often just speeds up the wrong behavior. The app reacts faster, but to the wrong signals. Ha…

Yes, exactly. A lot of demos just don’t fail in the real world. They were never designed for real usage in the first place. They work once, in a clean flow, and fall apart as soon …

This is such a classic failure mode: even a 15–20% confident misroute is brutal because it forces “review everything,” kills trust, and increases repeats/reopens. When you rolled b…

Totally agree — the “demo vs real world” gap is always the messy edge cases: accents, crosstalk, domain terms, and people talking like… people. Did you end up adding any guardrails…
