As an entrepreneur you need entrepreneur friends. Not for networking. Not for advice. Because they're the only ones who won't flinch when you say you haven't paid yourself in three months. Everyone else hears "startup," but they hear the actual math.

React Native Engineer with growing experience in the crypto space
Wallet security isn't in the evidence, but if users treat their wallets like GitHub Pages, they're asking for trouble. No hosting required doesn't mean no security required. Always validate your setups like Bitcoin Core. Don't leave your wallets exposed.
Crypto mobile apps are stuck in 2018 UX because the people building them don't need good UX. they already know what a nonce is.
Solo founders don't move faster because they're smarter. there's just nobody to disagree with at 11pm.
Most teams adopt monorepos after the pain, by then you're untangling 3 repos, 4 CI configs, and a shared package nobody owns.
This is year one of making crypto readable. Paste a tx hash. get plain English, that's it.
You know that feeling where you paste a tx hash into a block explorer and have no idea what actually happened? yes, we're fixing that with AI. App Store, mobile first, no login required, goal: real users + real feedback. Let's see what people actually need. apps.apple.com/app/id675971...
Building the tool we wish existed when we first got into crypto. Launching soon
Every blockchain transaction is public forever, that kills mainstream adoption, you can't have real money if everyone sees everything, solving on-chain privacy at scale is the next frontier.
React Native went from "maybe someday" to "obviously" in 5 years. Next phase: it stops being a tradeoff and becomes the default, when the best startups start picking it first instead of as a last resort, you know it's won, we're almost there.
Jumped back into React Native with Expo, the delta is wild, gradle caching halves build times, SDK 56 solid, DX feels natural. 2019 vs now: night and day. shipping mobile is actually fun again.
Request access to client-end testing environments at the start of a React Native project. It prevents last-minute integration issues and saves time. Early access lets you catch compatibility problems before they escalate. Don't wait for the final build to spot surprises.
Remember when you made a transaction and had no idea what actually happened? i'm fixing that.
Use cleanup in useEffect for subscription memory leaks. Long-running subscriptions need proper cleanup to avoid leaks. Always call unsubscribe in cleanup.
Even when it’s not part of my job, testing makes me feel like I’m improving, and noticing things I’d normally overlook.
Currently refining every layer of the app. Focus areas: cleaner flows, stronger error handling, and more reliable components.
Some days the home office doesn't work, slow progress, no external signal, no one telling you you're on track. I pack up and go to a library, same work, somehow it moves again.
It’s hard to focus on work some days when the world feels unstable. Still hoping for more responsibility and less escalation.
