Just built https://t.co/gWbdfGmpQ9 on @Replit in 1.5hrs from my phone, no desktop, with zero tech background. TeenTalk translates the weird stuff my kids say into normal language. Inspired after watching #Adolescence on @netflix – this is insane.

I cant wait to one day send a similar post as @bchesky coz I heard this "your TAM is too small" too many times in the past year. C'mon guys, @MarooWedding operates on a $100B market in the US only, how come its too small? 🤷🏻‍♂️ https://t.co/YfC90tKldB
