Hey HN.

I built DunSocial because I kept ghosting my own social media. Had things to share but hated the process.

Every scheduler assumes you have content ready. I never did.

So I built one that writes for you. It learns how you talk. Remembers what you like, what you'd never say. Shows up with drafts. You tweak, schedule, done.

Built our own memory infra to make the voice learning work.

The memory part was the hard problem. Not just "tone: professional" dropdowns. Actually learning from how you write over time. Still early. Using it for my own stuff.

Would love feedback. dunsocial.com

Read Foundation Capital's essay on decision traces. Good insight, too many words. Made a simpler version with interactive examples

Hey — if I could tell past-me one thing, Stop asking people how your design looks.

That question invites vague feedback from people who don’t use your thing. You want behavior. Friction. Patterns.

Wrote a short note to remind myself too!!!

What's your thoughts on this?

Hey folks, I wrote a short blog on something I’ve been thinking about—what happens when AI starts to understand taste?

Everyone talks about AI replacing coders and writers.

But what if the real shift is when it starts to replace taste?

Hey all, I explain in the blog how focusing on the most important task helps me move forward. I stopped multitasking and started making real progress.

Made up? Hardly. I hear you, but reality isn’t as tidy as a research paper. Planning only gets you so far; timing and luck do the rest. IYKYK!

Plans are guesses... treating them as facts is the real danger. Adapt as you learn, or they become traps.

"It's too hard to change the plan now"

+1 Agreed. Plans fail when sticking to them matters more than adapting...

TBH, the best plans know when to shift.

Flexibility > Rigidity

This is the whole point of the post...

Success rarely comes from what we aim for—it’s often about timing & flow. Perfection can hold us back, but staying open leads to breakthroughs.

Few irl examples:

1. Spend hours perfecting a video, 100 views. Post a raw clip, and it goes viral.

2. A polished product flops, but a scrappy weekend tool takes off.

3. A masterpiece gets ignored, but a casual sketch goes viral.

4. A failed dish turns into the next food trend.

Don’t wait for perfect. Keep creating, stay open, and let the unexpected happen.

P.S. Success is personal. But if you aim for something and it doesn’t happen, that’s a failure in that context.
