If you're wading in the swamp of churn prevention, it's already too late. The product sucks and you're just trying to move a few percentage points. The faster path to a high retention low churn is actually having a real awesome product. Everything else is a small side effect.

We've now launched and served 40,000+ total projects @insforge! A few months ago, we were still struggling to explain what InsForge was. People didn't quite get it at first. But we kept our heads down and focused on making the developer experience as frictionless as possible.

We ran hundreds of AI web design builds testing Opus 4.8 vs GPT-5.6 Sol. One model built better-looking pages in half the time, with half the code. It wasn't the one I expected. What I learned about slop, context rot, and why your prompts don't matter as much as your think🧵

Claude Mythos for Computer Use at 60% the price. Every computer-use agent demos beautifully on clean web apps. Real work lives in legacy desktop software surprise pop-ups, modals that steal focus, menus from 2003. We built the one that survives it.

The new AI-native design process: > record all planning meetings for context > give agent sample inspiration images > create dozens of live prototypes instantly, then explore/combine/edit the best ideas > create one-off mini-tools to tweak in realtime > update design.md > ship it
