The origin point.Social Feed
A very early social aggregation app built at fourteen, and the origin point for a long product arc.
One of the earliest moments in the story: build, ship, learn, repeat.
The first real lesson in product is contact with reality.
Why it mattered
The problem
Make social updates easier to scan, share, and manage in the earliest days of mobile app distribution.
The approach
Build fast, learn distribution, and ship into the live market rather than waiting for perfect planning.
What held up
Social Feed became the beginning of a long line of products that taught distribution, iteration, and the mechanics of shipping.
Looking back
Then
At the time, it was simply a product to build and get into people's hands quickly.
Now
In the archive it matters because it shows the pattern started early: design, code, ship, learn, repeat.
What stayed with me
The first real lesson in product is contact with reality.
