Day 825 of building a notes app. $86.50 MRR. I’m fucking on fire right now. Pretty much on my way to beating Notion at this second brain app game.
Day 824 of making a notes app. Don’t want to brag but I just reached a new MRR record $79.50. Psyched.

A burly man picked up his canoe today. Paid me $6700. Said I love you. And said he needs to buy me a Christmas present. As good as that makes me feel, I might be more hyped on one new $15/mo subscription

I’m a team of 1/4th a person by the way.
The fact that Theo actually solved most of the UX issues with Gemini as a team of what? Three people? It’s insane.

It’s great to have a notes app to do this in
Flip how you use AI. Don't prompt it. Let it interview you. I use voice mode & tell AI to "ask me 1 question at a time to figure out X" then just talk. After 10 min of brain dump, I say "turn this into a product proposal." The doc writes itself. AI can organize your thoughts.

I guess I mentioned the native app. It’s funny how Claude code can make formerly really difficult things a low energy task.

Both good. Two coworkers > one
opus 4.5 failed to fix a really annoying bug it kept being confidently wrong about the source but gpt-5.1-codex-max-extra-high found it with ease openai is still the king

I’m now 100% convinced that the key to greatness is simply having a delusional level of belief in your incredible future.

In the next version of grug notes I’ll have real users! 😂 And maybe I’ll add opus next. And then I need a native app. Actually, I don’t plan more than 3 days out. So it’ll just have to remain a mystery what comes next!
In honor of @jarredsumner, everyone should do a "In the next version of $product" post today. Show me what's coming for your product in the simplest writing possible.

Kinda cool
I’m hiring an Executive Software Engineer. Think of this like a Chief of Staff, but your job is to create technology that allows me to scale and move faster. You’ll work closely with me, my CoS, and the Valar IT/Security teams to rapidly create software and hardware tools under
