The Post-Mortem

I saw Thomas Tunguz (or whatever that VC's name is) do an article on content overload. Thought it was cool. The problem resonated with me — I had all these podcasts, newsletters, and news I never had time to read. So I built a tool to grab it all and create a digest pulling out only what you care about.

Classic mistake: did no research, talked to no users. Just built it because I thought it was useful to me.

Marketed it to UCLA students. Their usage? Zero. Didn't do any ad spend but managed to get about 102 visitors and 6 signups. The brutal truth? It wasn't useful.

What I missed: Turns out Perplexity can do it all. Or if you want to get fancy, it's just an n8n workflow + Perplexity + Resend. No need for a separate tool. No need for a SaaS. Just... no need.

RIP The Compiler. You taught me to talk to users before building.
