Thanks, I certainly hope so! 😆 Engagement with other features have been meh so I’m glad there’s at least one thing some people like

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

Nope, they are not a replacement for typical AI chat because they are designed for the specific purpose of interviewing you. So you can’t prompt it like you would in typical AI chat.

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

Instead, they're ONLY using the AI chat feature. Like, multiple times a day, every single day So here goes nothing… I’m going to extract that feature into its own standalone AI chat app and see what happens 👀

Since a month ago, I noticed a tiny but super engaged group of users using my app differently They've basically ignored all the social media & content creation features (you know, the whole point of the app 😅)

Well that escalated quickly (in the best way!) inngest founder reached out personally with 6 months of credits and looking into root cause. I already liked inngest a lot as a product but their founder customer support is amazing too! 💙

Thank goodness I had SOME guardrails so only 24 users were affected instead of hundreds But they got flooded with like 20-40 push notifications from my app in minutes So yeah, personally emailing every single person right now 😭

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

Being the cheap person I am, I tried to stay on inngest's free plan for as long as possible until I couldn't So I finally upgraded to their pro plan and unleashed thousands of backlogged scheduled events that I didn't even know were there 😱

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

Currently writing an apology email to some users because of a dumb mistake #buildinpublic

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

Thank you Robert! 💙 Interesting enough it's actually an existing user from mobile app who never subscribed, so I guess having both mobile and web app finally provided enough value!

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

I'm like a couple months late but finally launched Conteflow's web app (www.conteflow.com)! 😭 And I got my first stripe subscription from web app! 🥳

Congratulatory email from Stripe on first payment

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

I think the copy is great! The messaging is super clear

110

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 06/08/2025

Yeah, when it rains it pours haha Thankfully everyone got through the worst parts 💪

110

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 06/08/2025

I disappeared for weeks because life went full chaos mode for a while • One grandparent in ICU from cancer tumor • Other grandparent in ICU from stroke • Close friend diagnosed with cancer • One parent caught in legal crossfire as scapegoat Thankfully the worst has passed. I'm back building

130

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 14/07/2025

Yeah, it took so much experimentation, I feel like I spent 30% of my time stressing over this haha First tried no onboarding, super bad idea Later switched to long onboarding for deep personalization but had like 40% drop-off Hopefully new approach gets the best of both worlds

110

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 14/07/2025

I only wished I had done this earlier and avoid the brutal 40% onboarding drop-offs lol 😭

110

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 14/07/2025

A simple social profile import is all that's need to: - extract writing styles from past posts - build a profile bio - generate voice profile - generate content categories Pretty excited to see what the onboarding analytics will look like after this is pushed to production!

140

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 14/07/2025

People either love or hate my app's onboarding This split drove me crazy for months: One half loved how comprehensive the personalization is The other half hates how long it is and drops out I finally found the perfect solution and I'm kinda mad I didn't do this earlier #buildinpublic

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 09/07/2025

oof, trying to work while sick was NOT A GOOD IDEA Even more mortifying was almost fainting at the grocery checkout line of all places 😭

120

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

Suddenly getting a lot of love from Google Play and I still have no idea why 😳 Users that discovered the app through Google Play literally jumped from <10 users a week to >200 a week #buildinpublic

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

Other than having to mop up buckets of water, no problem afterward! Typhoons happens every year here and normally it’s not a big deal as long as you stay indoor First time that clogged drains caused the balcony to overflow though 😭

010

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 06/07/2025

Welp, always check balcony drains before a typhoon Had to go out in my bathroom slippers to clear clogged drains cuz rainwater was flooding into the bedroom💀 At least the rain was warm

120

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

Thanks man, really appreciate it! 🥹

020

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

Thanks haha, yep it’s that one! 😆 Been working like crazy on the web app the past month Thank goodness the backend is already built out, cut down a lot of dev time

110

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

Do you mean the web app? it's actually the web app version of my mobile app Conteflow haha A lot of users have been asking for the web app since mobile app has some limitations, especially for writing comfortably

110

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

At least it's nowhere near as bad as this really bad burnout I had couple years ago That time was so bad that I couldn't open my IDE or look at code for several months Learned my lesson this time and pacing myself better to keep the burnout demons away 💪

030

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

I think I'm feeling a tiny hint of burnout lately Maybe cuz I'm like 1-2 weeks away from launching the web app so it gives a false sense of seeing the finish line when it's actually another starting line

210

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

Setting up cross-platform subscriptions between web and mobile is loads of fun 🙃 #buildinpublic

040

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 23/06/2025

Currently in that magic flow state where features are just flowing 😌 Knocked out voice profile analysis, AI interview, post generation, quick posts AND draft editor Just a few more to go: - Schedule - Published - Onboarding - Settings - Stripe Aiming to launch by end of next week! #buildinpublic

150

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

So I'm building this voice profile analysis feature and discovering all these weird writing habits I never noticed before Apparently I start like 25% of my posts with 'So' (which I'm literally doing right now) #buildinpublic

040

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

Got 3 additional months of runway from 1 week of client work 💰 Finally free for the next couple months to focus on building!

010

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Taking an involuntary break from my app turned out to not be so bad Not being in the weeds helped put some distance and i ended up thinking a lot about the bigger picture and future directions lately It gave me some tentative ideas and clarity about who I’m building the app for

050

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

People who juggle a day job AND building a business on the side are seriously built different I'm working on a client project for only a week and I'm unable to context switch to my app at all You guys are superhuman (or killing yourself lol)

040

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

Got some feedback from a couple generous users 🙏 And the verdict is: hurry up and build the web app and add voice mode to interviews 🫡

010

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 01/06/2025

Took me forever to decide on these 2 questions: 1. What's the most frustrating thing about using the app right now? 2. What problem were you trying to solve when you first tried Conteflow? Looking forward to eating some humble pie soon 🍽️

030

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 01/06/2025

Zero lines of code today but it was my most productive day yet I spent half of today writing emails to users for feedback 🥳 #buildinpublic

2100

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

So now I’m forever emotionally invested in making sure their EVA Migration App is the best tool ever 🫡

000

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

Got an emergency request from an old client so I’ll be away from building for a whole week or 2 😭 Normally I'd be very grumpy but this is for a special client who named their internal tool (that I built) after ME No one has EVER named anything after me before

110

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

Then I changed the order last week and moved it near the end of onboarding And just like that, user drop-offs fell from 20% to 5% Turns out I scared off new users by simply asking too soon 🤦‍♀️

030

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

I've been wrestling with this tricky onboarding step for the past month It’s a relatively high effort question with a user drop-off rate of like 20% I rewrote the copy like 3 or 4 times but none of them made a difference

120

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 23/05/2025

One of the most requested features is finally getting my full attention The web app for Conteflow is coming in a few weeks!

020

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

I don’t even have an account on most of these lol My app doesn't have any built in viral features so it means a lot to me that there are strangers sharing about it 🙏

010

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

New users said they found my app through: - instagram - tiktok - telegram - word of mouth - linkedin - youtube - podcast - x/twitter - newsletters - reddit - facebook - even 1 from xiaohongshu (Chinese social media)

110

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

I recently checked where users heard about my app and it's appearing in the most random places I've been heads down fixing and building for weeks, barely did any marketing... But somehow it reached 2,500 signups in a month 😳

130

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

Finally wrapped up my (painful) X and LinkedIn integrations 🥳 My feature creep monster also couldn’t help adding "just one more thing"... • Image attachments • Notifications for scheduled posts • Haptic feedback on everything! Forcing myself to stop now so I can actually ship

030

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

LinkedIn is winning against X for shittiest developer experience How do you guys create a test profile that last longer than a day? Even after I followed every rule in their TOS for test profiles, my test profile still get restricted Like is it normal to require a gov id for a test profile? 💀

020

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

After a decade of working in B2B, I'm tired of building for distant users that I never get to talk to Yeah, B2C might be harder, more competitive, and less predictable... The grass might not be greener in B2C, but at least I'll get to see real people using what I build

010

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

And just got throttled after using their API to create TWO posts. Yes, TWO. Now waiting 8 hours for my quota to reset 🙃
