love to see this in the community
since i’ve been printing some insane PnL on @fomo and dominating the 24h / 7d / 30d leaderboards, holding that #1 spot for days straight. i figured it’s time to give something back. decided to bless one random user with $1,000, and the @fomo team is matching it with an extra $500. $1,500 total. straight back to the trenches. gotta give back to the community that’s been part of the journey. gratz @imsatoshi100 only on @fomo.

I think at this point I just embrace the botting, unlike the engagement from yesterday, I think this is actually real humans. Can I get a captcha on my like button?
is this what it's like to get botted? A bunch of random accounts liking all my posts from weeks ago

True story Rise and grind
Maurits says he always thought he was a hard worker until he joined fomo and realized that no matter how early he gets to the office or how late he leaves, half the team is still there working. Maurits: “I always thought I was a hard worker, and I really put in long shifts. But I like to arrive at the office a little bit later, and I’ll leave at like 8 or 9 p.m., and half the team is still there. Right now the office is too small, so you have people sitting on the ground with their laptops. The environment is electric. Everyone is working hard, everyone is super competent, and it’s very founder-led. Even the founders are sitting right next to the rest of the team. They don’t have their own corner suite or anything. The energy is very much unmatched.”

Can anyone also tell me why it’s the slowest app in existence? Each page takes like 2-3 seconds to load
I wish I owned Goodreads. It has SO MUCH potential. Yet, sucks in so many basic ways. Has the hardest part: tons of great reviews and a good community. Everything else...horrible. Search, list making, claude integration, so many more.

It’s not about the launch, it’s about how you iterate Stay lean
Se Yong admits @fomo 's launch day was so dead that 8 of the 10 traders were @fomo employees "It was so anticlimactic that, you know, I just don't remember the day at all." "Nobody joined. It was this very slow thing where we had 10 traders and maybe eight of them were FOMO employees." "Something is telling the market that the product is not good enough. So how do you get it to be good enough? And we just obsessively focus on making the product better time and time again."

We've come a long way from the proof of concept I came up with a year ago. Thankfully we have much better frontend engineers than me at fomo
