54 users in 5 days 🤯
hi WIP community 👋 this is my first post here (super grateful to be invited thank you all 🫶)
I built this app for fun, launched it 5 days ago.
Tbh i only built it to experiment on myself. Because I was struggling to focus that day. So, I thought. What if I trained an AI that would keep me accountable.
A simple pomodoro style app, where you focus for 25 mins then chat with the AI for 5 minutes.
I launched on twitter and organically have had 54 users so far in 5 days.
I have no idea why.
But, here's something I'm thinking about currently.
The app at it's essene requires you to FOCUS. In today's attention deficit economy, if i can get 54 users to focus for 25 minutes, I have an intuition that i may be on to something. Idk what yet. But i truly think there's something here.
So I'm gonna keep building, shipping and scaling it. Just to see how far I can take it.
The app is free so I'm making $0 but the idea of having 54 humans focus for 25 minutes (22 hours total🤯) feels so good that I would be guilty if i stopped.
Even if this helps a few hundred people, Im good with that. I just wanna help my fellow humans in whatever small way possible.
So thank you for allowing me into this wip community, I will continue to share milestones/progress/lessons on this journey.
Let's build! :D

👋 Join WIP to participate
That's a huge milestone. Congrats!
Are you doing anything to help people build a habit of using it? Would be great if you can get a percentage of those 54 users (and growing) to return daily.
thanks!! i'm currently building an "invite your friends" kind of feature that can be a leaderboard between friends. thats my strategy for organic growth but open to any other ideas?
alsooo update: 70 users now :D
