Last week I forced myself to use a single tool for notes, tasks, and bookmarks. No switching, no "best tool for each job," just one. I got more done in 7 days than I usually do in 10 bcz the switching cost was gone and the mental shift between apps was gone. The tool wasn't perfect at any single thing but it was good enough at all of them.

What surprised me was how much of my previous "productivity" was actually just reorganizing between tools. Moving a task from one app to another felt like work, but it wasn't.

So for those who've tried consolidating: did the one tool approach actually stick or did you go back to best of breed? And the harder question: if you went back was it bcz the tool failed or because you missed the feeling of switching?

Every 1st of the month, I have a little ritual: I open hunted.space and check past years launches for that month.

Looking at September 2024, one thing stood out: it was incredibly strong.

I started noticing that every piece of machine written content has this unnatural symmetry every single paragraph wraps up neatly with a tidy conclusion, and there is never a messy edge or an unresolved thought. Real humans ramble change directions mid-sentence or leave opinions hanging. The moment I started checking for "loose ends" instead of grammar errors spotting automated text became effortless.

How do you usually catch AI content before it gets published on your site?

Has anyone been successfully talking to Cursor? I started using Superwhisper but having to copy-paste the generated transcription into Cursor is a chore. Looking for something that just works.

Last quarter I raised the price of a small subscription tool I work on from $19 to $27 per month, about 40%. I braced for cancellations. Zero. Not one. But something else changed: the people who used to email asking for discounts just stopped emailing and the new signups pay full price without asking.

I think price is a filter not just revenue. A low price attracts people who doubt the value a higher price attracts people who've already decided. The bargainers weren't the best customers, they were the most expensive ones in support time.

So for those who've raised prices significantly: did your "annoying" customers disappear too,or did you just get lucky with a small sample? And the harder follow up: if you lost customers what was the actual churn rate and did the revenue still go up?
