I’m working on a 52-part series about retention.

Each week I research one part of retention, teach it, and apply it to two real-world products I built.

I’ve published five lectures so far, and think the series should be useful to anyone here building a product: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFp5nmjrQeug

Aren't costs higher though?

This made me laugh and feel scared simultaneously.

I assume someone has already written it up as a sci-fi short story, but if not I'm tempted to have a go...

Awesome project! Would be great if I could set goals like "solve 10 puzzles a day" and have the app track it for me.

Chess.com doesn't offer this option, so would be a neat differentiator :)

How much do you (roughly, per month) pay for Gemini's API? That's my main concern with switching to "bring your own API keys" tools.

This is fascinating. Reminds me of how people improve at chess by studying a chess engine's suggestions.

What's the cost? It only takes a few min to submit on Product Hunt.

I agree that you're better off befriending the PH editorial team (since they decide who gets featured and who doesn't).

But even a simple launch gets you a backlink and "some" traffic. So I wouldn't say "you're doing it wrong" for doing something with no downside and some upside.

Shameless plug, but I just launched this a week ago: https://sparkaidating.com/

Its philosophy is different from most AI companion apps (one partner, not many + gamified relationship building instead of instant gratification).

Some people really like it. And I'd love as much feedback as I can get.

This is something I don't get about Google.

I saw they launched NotebookLM Audio Overview today: https://blog.google/technology/ai/notebooklm-audio-overviews...

So what the heck is illuminate and why would they simultaneously launch a competing product?

I forgot who said this, but burnout is only the result of hard work not paying off.

When you work hard and things are going well, you get energized and can work 24/7.

When you work hard and things aren't panning out, you get "burnout".

This coincides with people who work extremely hard and have done so for decades (think of top tech founders... for example Jensen Huang: https://x.com/seanpk/status/1829526623731024055)

If you feel burnt out, chances are you're not getting the results you want. So instead of concluding "burnout is affecting my brain" I think the better reaction is to ask yourself "what needs to change?"
