Ayush Barnwal | Building

started 4th year of college today not sitting for placements. not doing the "safe backup" thing everyone around me is doing going all in on the startup instead not gonna lie, feels weird walking into a campus where literally everyone's optimizing for a job offer, and i'm just... not no backup plan. no plan b interview prep. just building and hoping the thing works before the degree runs out don't know if this is brave or dumb yet. ask me in a year building tagzzs in the meantime. we'll see :)

how many messages did you send to yourself on whatsapp this week? and how many of them have you opened again?

tagzzs tip most people don't know: press ctrl+shift+s on any page and it's saved no folders, no tags. that's the whole workflow

you can't search for something you don't remember you saved that's the whole problem with saving stuff

lmao... its really hard to put price against this account but these numbers aren't too bad🫣 what do you say?

its time to talk to users now (or as they say... touch some grass 🌱)

sunday question: what's something you saved months ago and still haven't looked at again?

a few weeks ago, seeing a competitor would've sent me into a spiral this week i found a massively funded company betting on the same idea as tagzzs. and it just made things clearer it's not a race to figure it out first. it's a race against yourself, to get clear on what you're actually building

update: 954... 46 to go👀

ai got really good at answering questions it's still bad at knowing what you already know that's the gap i'm building tagzzs for

someone asked me last week if tagzzs could remember people, not just links like, someone asks you for a referral and it reminds you of the person you met months ago who'd be perfect haven't stopped thinking about it since

my claude limits are about to reset in 20mins :)

your bookmarks folder isn't a memory system it's where good ideas go to be forgotten, neatly

what's one thing you saved this month that you actually went back to? curious what makes the cut

every "save for later" is a promise to a future version of you who never shows up

how many tabs do you have open right now that you're "going to read later"? be honest
