When it was “Go time” - how’d you handle it?

Middle of the night? Who watched the other kid(s)? Wife have all her stuff? You have all yours? You know the address of the hospital? Bag already packed? What was in the bag?? Who do you let know it’s happening? When do you let them know?! What else am I missing?

I know about “birth plans” but when my second kiddo arrived at 2am and sooner than the scheduled c section, that all went out the window, so just curious what ya’ll did/how you handled it all.

Hospital bassinet can raise and lower. Apparently people didn’t know this.

Just had a TikTok go semi viral with nurses and parents that had no idea, so sharing here incase it helps anyone about to go in!

As title says. It’s at Stasht.app. Feel free to drop a location and I’ll share what’s around you!

Could be where you’re traveling to, where you work, where you pass often, etc.

Reason: created a way to find all of the stuff from social media that people (or your self) have been saving. This is just how my brain works - easier for me to find stuff. Not trying to push the app on anyone, just trying to test it with places people actually care about so it serves a purpose instead of just asking ChatGPT to give me some random cross streets.

Pretty self explanatory, but lmk if any questions. If interested i'l drop a product link and the chrome extension to import all your existing saves, but really just looking to test if this things works!

always been the fat kid and struggled with weight. Finally decided to show up for my kids and set the right example. All i see is what's wrong/left to do (still very self consious of my chest and stretch marks) but starting to feel like i should be proud of what ive done and take a second to appreciate how far ive come.

My daughter was asking me to explain what i was working on, so i decided to use my ADHD and minor AI skills for good and spent an evening on what turned out to be her favorite book.

Anyway, few others have told me they liked the story, so sharing it because why not... At the end of the day, her asking me to read about "stasht" has brought more smiles to my face than anything.

TLDR: App that takes the stuff you save from social media (Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, web links) and makes it actually useful and findable later. No folders, no tagging, no manual work but it's WAYYYY overbuilt and should have shipped months earlier with a fraction of the features.

https://stasht.app

Backstory: Our first kid was just born. My wife and I were DM'ing each other stuff constantly. First it was like burping and swaddling techniques, then turned into newborn-friendly places to go, then weekend ideas/places to hit whenever we'd manage to actually get out of the house.

Then Saturday morning would roll around and we'd just stare at each other with no idea what to do, even though we'd saved a hundred things between us. Same with lunch. I'd save spots all week and then at noon, complete blank. Couldn't tell you a single one.

Honestly, the ADHD doesn't help. I saved stuff all the time but then it's gone from my brain. I realized the moment I found the thing was never the moment I actually needed it. So I tried a bunch of other stuff (Raindrop, Notion, browser bookmarks), then built this.

Basics of how it works but it does a lot more (part of the problem).

  1. All the stuff I save, tied back to social media. You share from any app - Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Safari, whatever. As you save more things in common with each other, the connections form automatically.
  2. All the useful stuff is taken out of the post and enriched. Places, events, products, hours, links. We also do recipes, workouts, and a few other thigns pretty cool, but key thing is no manual work like folders or tagging is needed (unless you want to. I won't stop ya.)
  3. And I can set reminders. Saves "come back" when they matter. This has been huge for me! I find a post at 11pm that i want to remember tomorrow at noon? Boom. Done. or a gift idea. It's been clutch.
  4. Friends' saves are shown on a map too (if they share). Useful for the "wife and I can't decide what to do on Saturday" problem.
  5. We do a weekly roundup of your saves (this seems to be what people like the most).

We also have a chrome extension to bulk import existing saves from insta, tiktok, even pinterest and a few others.

This was/is 100% a passion project. No plans to charge anyone for this. We'd make our money way down the road if you choose to buy tickets and stuff through us.

It's just me and my cofounder who sold his last company to Reddit and believes in this as a thing worth solving. We're just trying to build something we'd actually use ourselves and then make it even more awesome with feedback from people like you.

There's SO much I would do differently, but the few users we have seem to love it.

And now you dont even need to save - you can just download and start using the map feature.

People love saving. Like, a lot.

Totally replaced my google maps lists. It's just how my brain finds stuff that's interesting around me.

Collections I've created to build my own custom list of stuff.

Always been the fat kid and struggled with weight. lost a bunch 10 years ago but it slowly crept back up. Decided I wanted to set a better example for my kids, so i've locked in the last 2.5 years - prioritized protein and weight training. Oddly enough, all i still see is what's left/where I want to be, but figured why not be proud of what I've done so far. Still feels weird to have my shirt off, let alone show strangers, but whatever.

Sorry for the re-post. last one had an image in there I didnt intend.

Basics of how it works but it does a lot more (part of the problem).

  1. You share from any app. Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Safari, whatever. Or paste a link.
  2. All the useful stuff is taken out of the post and enriched. Places, events, products, hours, links. No folders. No tagging (unless you want to do that, you can - i wont stop ya.)
  3. Saves "come back" when they matter. That pizza spot lands on your map when you're nearby. That concert shows up on your calendar before tickets sell. Reminders fire when you're close to a place or a date. Everything is teid back to the social post.
  4. Friends' saves are shown on a map too (if they share). Useful for the "wife and I can't decide what to do on Saturday" problem but someone saved something cool we'd like to do.

There's SO much I would do differently, but I'm way too close to this, so I want to know from you - did I waste my time?

u/andrewbfm — 23 days ago

I'll go first -

  1. pivot/feature flywheel

  2. not knowing if the thing you're spending 80 hours a week on is worth it

  3. finally launching then trying to get people to notice

  4. all the CLEARLY AI/vibe coded slop that sometimes says the thing/looks better than you.... even if the product is trash.
