Today I was looking back at the companies we've worked with in South Korea. Honestly, it's crazy. 15 Korean companies and still growing. Coming from India, I never imagined DotDev would get the opportunity to work with so many amazing teams across South Korea. A huge thank you to everyone who trusted us @dotdevdesigns Some of the companies and projects we've contributed to: • DA SOFT • Apex Holdings • SK hynix • SK hynix Newsroom • Data Clinic • Blind Dating App projects • Restaurant platforms • LegalTech & law-related projects • And many more Every project taught us something new about product building, culture, communication, and execution. What started as a small team with big ambitions is now collaborating with companies across borders. Grateful for every founder, manager, and team member who trusted DotDev with their vision. South Korea has been a huge part of our journey. And we're just getting started. 🇰🇷❤️🇮🇳 #BuildInPublic #Startups #WebDevelopment #SouthKorea #India #Founders #DotDevdesigns

Sharing some freelancing lessons from my experience. Most freelancers focus on getting the client. Very few focus on what happens after the client says "yes." That's where long-term relationships are built. Here are a few things that have worked for me: 1. Make onboarding easy. Once the deal is closed, immediately provide: • Contract • Deliverables • Timeline • Your commitments • Expected outcomes Remove uncertainty. 2. Show the process. If you're using Notion, walk them through the board. If you're using Slack, give them a quick demo. Never assume clients know your workflow. Clarity builds trust. 3. Start every meeting with an agenda. A 30-minute meeting without an agenda can waste an hour. A clear agenda shows professionalism and respect for everyone's time. 4. Be professional, but human. Ask how their day is going. Appreciate the opportunity to work together. Celebrate small wins. People remember how you make them feel. 5. If you're billing hourly, be transparent. Share: • Login time • Work logs • Progress updates • Deliverables completed Clients rarely complain about cost when they clearly see progress. 6. Small gestures matter. A quick "Good morning." A clear end-of-day update. A simple "Have a great day." Remote work runs on communication. 7. Meet in person whenever possible. In-person meetings are one of the most underrated business growth hacks. One coffee meeting can build more trust than months of calls. 8. Select your clients wisely. Not every project is worth taking. A bad client can consume more energy than three good ones combined. 9. Underpromise. Overdeliver. Never sell dreams. Set realistic expectations and then exceed them. Clients remember results, not promises. 10. Think beyond the project. The best freelancers don't look for clients. They build relationships. Most of my best opportunities came from referrals, repeat business, and trust built over time. Freelancing isn't just about delivering work. It's about making clients feel confident that they made the right decision hiring you.

Everyone wants to build the next billion-dollar AI company. Very few want to spend 6 months talking to users. The companies that win usually do both. 🚀 Build. 📈 Distribute. 🔁 Listen. Repeat. #BuildInPublic #learn #X #distribute

I stopped asking: "How do I build this?" And started asking: "How do I get the first 1,000 users?" My products started growing much faster after that. Distribution is a feature. And some of them made money before launching the app ...

The biggest lesson from building 30 products on @dotdevdesigns : Users don't care how hard the problem was. They care if it solves their problem in under 30 seconds. Complex engineering. Simple experience. That's the game.

Most developers think they need better code. Most founders think they need a better product. In reality, most need better distribution. A mediocre product with great distribution beats a great product nobody sees. #buildInPublic

Recently been studying distribution. One thing I've learned: Most founders overvalue building and undervalue distribution. 🇺🇸 US → TikTok can drive massive signups. 🇰🇷 Korea → Kakao & Naver communities are gold. Every market has its own distribution channels. The best product doesn't always win. The best-distributed product often does. Soon I'll be sharing a deep dive on distribution, viral loops, and how platform algorithms can become your biggest growth engine.

Let me share two powerful stories I've been thinking about. Story 1: ChatGPT When ChatGPT first launched, many people dismissed it. "It hallucinates." "It gives wrong answers." "It's just another chatbot." The product wasn't perfect. But while people were criticizing it, the team kept improving it every single day. Version after version. Model after model. Today, millions of people use AI daily, and OpenAI became one of the most valuable AI companies in the world. Story 2: Claude There was a time when Claude wasn't even officially accessible in India. Developers used VPNs just to try it. Most people ignored it because access was difficult. But the team kept building. Today, Claude Code is becoming one of the most loved developer tools globally, and developers in India actively use it to build products and businesses. So what changed? The technology improved. But that's not the whole answer. The real reason is: People overestimate short-term results and underestimate long-term consistency. Most people quit after the first criticism. Most companies stop after the first failure. The winners keep shipping. Every successful company has a period where people think: "This won't work." The difference is that great teams continue building while everyone else is busy judging. The lesson? Don't judge a product by its first version. Don't judge a company by its first year. The products that change the world are often the same products people laughed at in the beginning. Keep building. Keep improving. Keep shipping. That's usually the algorithm behind success. 🚀

Thinking about organizing a weekly Google Meet/Zoom for builders. No pitches. No fake gurus. Just founders, developers, and makers sharing: • What they're building • Challenges they're facing • Feedback on products • Lessons learned A place for people who actually build. Anyone interested? 🚀 Hey @X help to find the good ones ... #experiment #buildInPublic #learn #developer

It's time for showing good content for the @stuzio_ . @vinayakvsv thoughts 💭? We need to plan a executive.

Agree 💯 If it's your product don't use free plans .

Hi good ppl, What's your plan for this week- building something? #BuildingBharat

Building AI taught me something unexpected: The hardest bugs aren't always in the code. Sometimes they're in your understanding of the system. While designing an emotional memory architecture, I spent hours fixing a problem only to realize I needed a deeper understanding of how memories should actually behave. The deeper you go, the more fascinating AI becomes. Build. Break. Learn. Repeat. 🚀 #AI #MachineLearning #Engineering #BuildInPublic

another product! another story ! another before launch pro users ! DO YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THIS ? follow for more... @dotdevdesigns #mrr #arr #moneymistress #workship #LifeLesson

Have you ever imagined before launch your app can make money ? But how ? We made that with our first client. And we will releasing the case study soon .

looking to connect with more builders/founders & Ai enthusiasts.

We haven’t officially launched Stuzio yet. And 5 clients are already pre-booked. 🔥 Founders are tired of hiring separate teams for development, design, and branding. They want one team that does it all. We’re building exactly that. @vinayakvsv @stuzio_ #BuildInPublic #Founders
