Same! I've worked with Simon on this and tried (and failed) to port it to web. Truly a smart guy - and congratulations to the rest of the team!

Same as last month (no update). Any insight would be awesome!

that's really cool, instead of installing instagram daily - I found it easier to visit instagram.com. It's so bad that you'll only use it for a little bit before you have to close it
stuckinaloop··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2025)
I’ve deleted all my social media apps (including YOU - LinkedIn).

I’m trying to really see and feel what’s actually missing in my life and trying to build it. Right now I just want to see what my friends are up to in a non-curated way.

stuckinaloop··on Ask HN: What's Missing in Social Media?
That's really cool - never heard of Beme. I wonder how it would work today.

1. Record a video (ask a question, give a life update etc). 2. Users could respond back with videos

It's basically like Snapchat but in a public forum

stuckinaloop··on Email Authentication: A Developer's Guide
Hey Resend team! Love your product!

I was wondering when / if you'll be supporting inbound email parsing / webhooks. It's the one thing that's preventing me from switching over.

Love what you're doing - keep it up!

I'm making a social media app called Spotted. It's aiming to combine the visual messaging aspects of Snapchat and IG Stories with the "opt-in" features of recent apps like Gas and BeReal

Hopefully looking to launch soon!

stuckinaloop··on Ask HN: Startup Ideas
I'm assuming you're asking for some ideas, or about how to think of them. I could give you a list of a thousand ideas but it doesn't really matter unless you're passionate about them.

Instead I would focus on an issue that you've experienced, perhaps something that you find annoying and can build a solution for. It's highly likely that someone else has the same problem as you and is willing to pay for a solution to it. You get two benefits, one is that it's something that you've experienced so you're probably passionate about building a solution for it, and second it's a problem that exists instead of creating a solution in chase of a problem.

This article gets posted a lot, but I think it's worth a good read.

This blog post helped me a lot as well. It helped me get better as seeing problems and thinking of solutions to them:
