Not talking about just using ChatGPT for random stuff. I mean real projects.

Could be literally anything: small side project, AI SaaS, automation, chatbot, content tool,

client project, weird experiment that somehow worked 😄

I’m curious what people are building these days because it feels like everyone is either secretly making something or planning to.

Would genuinely love to hear:

• what you built?
• Why did you start it?
• What’s been the hardest part?

and whether people are actually using it or not. Feel free to drop links, too, if that’s allowed here.

I feel getting downloads is not the real problem anymore.

You can run ads, spam reels, do influencer marketing, ASO, AI creatives etc. If you have money, installs will come somehow. But keeping users? That feels almost impossible now.

People download apps out of boredom and uninstall them 10 minutes later. Half the apps on my phone are things I used once and forgot existed.

Even good apps struggle because users have too many options now. One small annoyance and people leave, too many ads, slow app, confusing UI, forced signup, too many notifications, and done. Uninstall (this actually sucks).

And honestly, AI has made expectations worse, too. Founders now expect teams to ship features faster and faster because “AI can do it”. But users are also getting harder to impress.

How to deal with it guys...

Hey everyone,

I’ve been trying to do outreach to websites (mainly for guest posts/collaborations), but I’m barely getting any replies. I’ve sent a decent number of emails, personalized some of them, but I still feel like I’m hitting a wall.

So I wanted to ask:

• How are you guys approaching website outreach these days?
• What actually gets replies in 2026?
• Is cold email still working for you, or are there better channels?

Also, if anyone has a template that’s actually working for them, I’d really appreciate if you could share it. ( I just desperately need this)

Would love to hear what’s working (and what’s not).

Thanks!

I keep seeing people talk about AI in gaming, but honestly… I’m not sure I’ve really felt it much while playing.

Like, yeah, NPCs are a bit smarter, matchmaking is better, and worlds are bigger or more dynamic. But none of it feels like a huge shift moment yet. It’s more like small improvements here and there.

At the same time, there’s all this talk about AI-generated dialogue, smarter storylines, NPCs you can actually have conversations with, etc. That sounds cool, but it also feels like we’re not fully there yet.

So I’m just curious, has anyone actually played something where AI made you go “okay, this is different”? Or does it still feel like background tech that most players don’t really notice?

And what would AI need to do in a game for it to actually feel like a big leap for you?

Would love to hear what others think.
