I heard that if I substitute the word "database" with "crypto" in my pitch deck my pre-seed valuation will 4X.

I don't know how you can say ur a VC and ur website does not have a "pitch us" button.
Are you in "portfolio advertising" or actual investing?
Again, asking for a friend....πππ.

I heard if I add "AI" to my domain name the pre-seed valuation doubles.

The new landing page for
@KoboFxApp
has the funniest headline copy I ever wrote.

Same advantage you get using Compose UI to write the android app.
The final bundle size is 11MB.
There are a few more libraries I accidentally added to the Android app which might explains the larger bundle size..π¬
The Ex Perf Engineer in me is proud...ππ

One upside of writing native code in Swift UI is the final bundle size.
The final bundle size for
@KoboFxApp
's
iOS App is 7.2MB
People living in the west don't really care,
But most π³π¬ are very sensitive to bundle sizes because data is pricey.

Unpopular opinion:
Typeform is a terrible user experience for anything outside of "True" / "False" answers.

Being a founder is really lonely.
You spend a lot of time in ur head wondering if anyone even cares.
90% of the time people think you are crazy.
Working on the redesign for
@KoboFxApp
I got a chance to actually read the reviews from folks who used the bot.

Added a scrolling marquee to the landing page.
Not sure how I feel about it, It might not make it to production.
Also switched the word "exchange" for "Afα»"
In Igbo tradition there are 4 market days; nkwα», eke, orie & afα»
"Afα»" is the 4th market day.

TIL that you need to add 'muted' to videos to have them play automatically in Chrome and Firefox.
I've had a bug in the last few months where the video demo on
@KoboFxApp
did not play automatically.
Fixing this in the new landing page.

I reconnected with a cousin I haven't spoken to in years.
I passively mentioned
@KoboFxApp
.
Dude took it on himself to share a WhatsApp status update asking everyone he knows to try us out.
I got 50 signups from that.
That's the exact energy I need in 2023

Week 1 of launching
#kobofxapp
on the App Store.
50 downloads.
99,950 downloads to go.
This should be a fun journey.
Got a bunch of bugs that need to be addressed on android.
I also think it's time to update the landing page.

After 4,637 lines of Kotlin code,
10 git commits,
1 "login bug" that was fixed this morning,
@KoboFxApp
is live on the android play store.
- Built using Compose UI which made building on android really fun.
- if u send money back home try the calculator.

Reason #99 you should start with a bot instead of an app.
Android app was rejected.
Date submitted: December 29th
Date Rejected: January 2nd.
Reason: Google play store can't login to the google's gmail account....ππ.
I can't make this up.

Android app has been submitted to the play store...β
Hopefully no issues...π€πΎπ€πΎ
It's still rough around the edges,
But it's good enough for version 1.
Really hoping it's approved before 2023...π
