Our web app beta test crashed and bugged! But here is why that wasn’t a failure. Yes, I got stressed as a bug meant resorting to a manual experience. But I would do it all over again. In a little over a month, our CTO’s valiant effort put our MVP web app in real users’ hands. While still working his full-time role. We got real user feedback. The most important thing a startup can get. Our unique social experience facilitates small groups enabling the sense of belonging offered by a small gathering in a larger event. Imagine speed dating but with small groups and for friends. A chill ‘come and go when you can’ vibe. Some joined late and others returned to their desk for a little more work. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Despite technical difficulties. With our next social in a fortnight, we will strive to launch our integrated feedback feature. Another ambitious goal. But safe is for corporates. Keep failing upwards folks! And share any stories you have of doing so?

I think we all start somewhere like this—a café, a room in the house, maybe even just an idea scribbled on a napkin. And honestly, those small beginnings? They’re everything. Keep going, even if it feels like no one’s watching. Success doesn’t happen in a single moment, but in the countless hours spent working when no one else is around. The screen in front of me is filled with code—nothing flashy, just lines and lines of logic—but each one is a step closer to something real. There are no fancy offices, no big teams (yet but Insha ALLAH), but every click, every problem solved, is another step toward building something that could change someone’s life. Sitting here in a quiet corner of this rest, surrounded by the soft hum of conversations, I’m reminded why I started this journey. With a laptop and a mind full of ideas, this is where the real work happens. As the mobile app developer, it’s easy to think it’s all about coding. But in reality, it’s about perseverance, patience, and passion. So here’s to the late nights, the quiet mornings, and the little wins that keep us going. #KeepBuilding #QuietGrind #WorkInProgress #EntrepreneurLife #SmallStepsBigDreams #EntrepreneurJourney #MobileAppDevelopment #StartUpLife #FlutterDev #LetzynoLLC #ChasingDreams #TechLife

My Thoughts on Bubble.io Bubble.io has really surprised me. It’s a platform that lets you build web apps without needing to know how to code, and honestly, that’s a game-changer. I’ve been using it for a while now, and what I appreciate the most is how it removes the technical barriers and lets you focus on your ideas. Whether it’s setting up workflows or managing data, Bubble makes the process much easier. For startups or anyone with a great idea but no coding skills, this tool is a lifesaver. It’s all about turning your ideas into something real—fast. If you’ve ever thought about creating an app but didn’t know where to start, I’d definitely recommend giving Bubble a try. #nocode #techskills #webdevelopment #bubble

#TechnicalFounders #StartupStruggles #AppDevelopment Hey everyone! I stumbled upon an interesting discussion lately about the role of technical co-founders in building apps. It got me thinking: Are technical co-founders really expected to do all the heavy lifting when it comes to app development? 🤔 Having spent 15 years in the engineering and startup world, I find this expectation pretty outrageous! It's like claiming you've launched a company aiming for the moon and offering someone half—just to build the rocket! 🚀 Here’s why this mindset can be frustrating: Skill Acquisition: Developers invest years honing their skills. 👨💻 When a non-technical co-founder says, "Hey, build this app," they're not just asking for a simple task; they're overlooking the extensive work it takes to nail down end-to-end functionality, scalability, and reliability. Workload Imbalance: It’s not just about building an app; it involves nights and weekends filled with coding, testing, and troubl... Should Technical Co-Founders Really Build the Entire App Alone?

It's not a bug. It's a feature... Oh no, wait. It's a bug :) Ever been there? You’re in a crucial demo meeting, showcasing your startup’s solution to a potential investor. Suddenly, the app crashes. Frustrating, right? Imagine trying to impress an investor, only for the app to crash mid-demo. A true walk of shame : ( Let's break this down ! What’s the difference between a bug and a feature? 🔴 A bug is an error in the software. It causes the app to behave unexpectedly or incorrectly. 🔰 A feature, on the other hand, is an intended functionality. It's something that enhances the user experience. ... Over time, the phrase "It's a feature, not a bug" has become common in the tech world. Developers use it to address user feedback or criticism. Sometimes, it's a way to justify design decisions that don’t meet your expectations. And this can feel like a slap in the face, especially when you’ve invested so much time and money. So, how do you ensure you don’t face this situation? → First, understand that bugs are inevitable. Even the " unicorns " have bugs. ☑ But you can minimise them. ☑ Prioritise testing. ☑ Have clear communication with your dev team. ☑ Ensure they understand your vision and your audience's needs. When a developer says, "It's a feature," ask questions. Challenge them. Ensure that these so-called features align with your goals and user preferences. This proactive approach can save you from those awkward demo sessions but, even better, enhance the user experience. It can boost your confidence, knowing your product is reliable. And remember, every bug fixed is a step towards a better product. A product that delights users. So, again, was it "a bug or a feature"? Remember to always #BeAgile #Bug #Feature #Technology #StartUp #Founder

"Just learn to code, build an app, and get rich!" Yeah... it doesn't work like that. - Being a great coder doesn't mean you understand what people want. - Being great at business doesn't mean you need to code. Think about it: 🔴 Do engineers need to understand business to build the right app? No. 🟢 They need to be amazing at solving problems. 🔵 Do business people need to understand coding to spot opportunities? No. 🟢 They need to be amazing at understanding people. Stop mixing these up. Start letting each do what they do best. That's how real success happens. #Tech #RealTalk #StartupTruth
