I'm 2 followers away from 300! Will you do me the honour? If you're a solo-founder, builder, into AI, into marketing & growth, or a parent - I think we'll get on well ✌️ Let's #connect and #buildinpublic

I came to Spain from Ukraine and had to start almost everything from zero. New country. New language. New people. New life. Football was a huge part of my life. I played for years and wanted to make it professionally. It didn't work out. So I did what I could do next. I started studying Data Science. Now I study while working 8 hours a day as a Data Scientist. And honestly, sometimes it's exhausting. But I don't want to just study, work, graduate and repeat the same cycle forever. I want to build. Build products. Learn in public. Fail publicly. Make money from something I created. And eventually get to $10k MRR. There's also something from football I never really forgot. A lot of talented players don't lack talent. They lack visibility. They don't know the right people. Agents don't know they exist. Clubs don't see them. And they often have no real professional presence online. So I want to build something for them. A platform where footballers can create their own professional profile — basically a CV for football. Stats. Position. Experience. Videos. Achievements. Career history. And a way to connect players with agents, scouts and clubs. I don't know if I'll make it work. But I'm going to build it anyway. Starting from where I am now. 0 → $10k MRR. I'll document the whole thing here.

building is becoming a commodity. distribution is the moat now. ai can help you ship in a weekend. sadly, it still can’t force 10,000 people to care. rude.

Giving away a free app audit every day! I’m new here, so this is my way of getting to know you and giving something back. Every day I’ll roast an app: onboarding + paywall, where the magic (money) happens. 💸 Drop your App Store link below and I’ll tell you what I’d fix first.

Shocking stat of the day: Estimated annualized interest expense on US federal debt is up to a record $1.38 trillion. This is equivalent to 4.2% of US GDP, the highest percentage since 1997. By comparison, this figure stood at 2.3% in Q4 2020. Annualized interest expense has surged +$900 billion, or nearly +200%, over the last 5 years, rising at an average annual rate of +24%. Meanwhile, in the first 9 months of FY2026, interest expense jumped +$78 billion YoY, to $827 billion, the highest level for this period in history. The cost of servicing US federal debt has never been higher.

Finally! App #7 - StockPilot - pushed into review. From a single friend's request to a multi-tenant SaaS product, now finally submitted. 7 apps deep, and every single one taught me something new. Let's see how this one goes.
StockPilot update. 📊 Dashboard overview, done. App - done. ✅ Now designing the store screenshots, with a little help from Claude, obviously. 😄 The last mile before submission always takes longer than expected. Almost there.

Buying Chinese tech for military special forces is absolute incompetence. Western intelligence compromised while weak leadership appeases Beijing. Secure the supply chain now!

Over the past few days, Ukraine has been facing one of the most significant political crises since the beginning of the full-scale war. Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov was dismissed. According to Fedorov himself, he had serious disagreements with the military leadership over reforming the Ministry of Defense, defense procurement, and the future development of the Armed Forces. His dismissal has sparked widespread public outrage, protests, and intense debate across Ukraine. But the biggest problem is not only the personnel decision itself. The biggest problem is the complete lack of open dialogue with society. There has been no proper conversation with the public, no clear answers to the questions that concern hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians, and no understandable explanation of why this decision was made or what the plan is going forward. And we still have none. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians publicly support Mykhailo Fedorov. Tens of thousands are taking part in peaceful demonstrations, while millions are expressing their position online. We want the international community to see the scale of this public reaction. We are not asking foreign governments to interfere in Ukraine’s internal affairs or make personnel decisions for us. We are appealing to international journalists, newsrooms, analysts, experts, human rights advocates, and everyone who cares: please help bring attention to this situation. Tell your audience about it, request comments from Ukrainian officials, and ask questions about the reasons behind these decisions, the future of defense reforms, and the absence of open dialogue with society. Please help ensure that this issue does not disappear from the public agenda without answers. We do not need foreign interference. We need attention, transparency, accountability, and an honest conversation between the Ukrainian government and Ukrainian society. Please share this post. Tag journalists and international media, translate it into other languages, and tell your audience what is happening. Every repost, every mention, and every question asked helps make the voices of Ukrainians more visible. Ukrainians deserve answers.
