2026-08-26 15:50 UTC – I noted that all apps on the home screen feel valuable daily, making them hard to delete, and decided to design easy‑delete mechanisms for home‑screen apps.

I called the idea of “paying the users” the most r3tarded thing someone has thought of.

The strong language underscores my view that paying users is a fundamentally flawed approach.

I argued that our focus should shift from maintaining a waitlist to acquiring signed‑up users who are actively using the live application, because live data provides faster feedback and more reliable validation.

I stated that the waitlist approach is “so 2025” and we need live‑app sign‑ups.
