Spradley allows customers to receive discounts if they share their purchase with friends on social media, which we launched live on Carrot 6.

The app will primarily be marketed as a source for great food at low cost, with a secondary focus on its social and environmental impact.

We're developing a mobile app to enhance user experience with live listings and location-based searches for discounted food.

We launched our closed beta on Twitter, which rapidly increased our followers from 50 to 10,000 and attracted 150,000 unique visitors a day.

I encourage everyone to clip and share my content on platforms like TikTok and Instagram; it serves as a funnel to my main content and helps grow my audience.

Engaging with online communities is a great way to launch; for instance, Y Combinator founders can launch on Bookface to get early feedback.

Our first project was built in one weekend, quickly gained traction with 600 users per minute without marketing, and I almost deleted the Captions app due to its $10,000 monthly cost, but instead designed a paywall to see if users would pay for it, allowing us to keep it running without incurring costs.

In the beginning, we did desperate things to attract users, like changing Apple Store computers to display Pinterest, hoping to create buzz.

Duffl, a quick snack delivery app for college students, features an eccentric design that may appeal to its target audience, but the layout could benefit from larger images and clearer calls to action. The secondary text in the app should have more contrast to improve legibility; making it darker enhances user experience.
