A lover of life would seek for our earth the most positive outcome for the greatest number of living beings. The most urgent priority must go to the environmental matters of stabilizing and healing the web of life. We're grateful for the many ecological initiatives now underway by so many intelligent people.

this legend just created a saas that FINALLY cracked creator outreach for consumer app growth

we've been testing this inside the discord for months but now it's ready to see the outside world:

1. scrapes millions of TT/IG/YT videos
2. transcribes videos (to see if the creator's audience is a good fit for your app)
3. finds contact info and engagement stats
4. search and outreach them at scale

example: water purity app →
finds creators in chemicals, health, clean living

also, most creator databases are feature-bloated and lock you into enterprise annual pricing. this one's 2-3x cheaper, simple saas pricing, and just works bc it was built by an app founder

reply "send" and I'll DM you the saas (follow so I can DM)

someone needs to be frank with yall "AI researchers". your average paper contains about 1/8 (maybe less) of the contents of an average math paper. not that you should feel bad about it, i'm just saying... progress may have been quicker on more stringent publication standards.

Facebook VP of Growth on how to prioritize power users vs marginal users

“The thing that everyone in the Valley gets wrong is that we think about ourselves when we optimize for growth… But what you need to focus on is the marginal user.”

As Alex Schultz explains, this doesn’t mean power users aren’t important:

“Building an incredible product is all about optimizing for the people who use your product the most. But if your goal is driving growth, the people who are using your product the most are not the users you have to worry about.”

He cites the growth accounting framework Facebook used to think about growth:

“We looked at new users, resurrected users (people who weren’t on Facebook for 30 days and came back), and churned users. The resurrected and churned numbers for pretty much every product I’ve ever seen dominate the new user count once you reach a sensible point of growth a couple years in… And [at Facebook] all those users who were churning and resurrecting had low friend counts… So the number one thing we needed to focus on was getting them to 10 friends.”

In sum, focus on power users to build an incredible product, and focus on the marginal user to accelerate growth.
