After 1 year of effort and testing by hundreds of people, we’ve just launched the finalized version of Psyfy! Available on the iOS App Store. Users customize their AI therapist’s traits for the best conversation experience. Mini games and a resource article bank are coming soon!

Ever feel overwhelmed but don’t want to burden your friends?
I built an AI chatbot that listens without judgment.

It’s not perfect, but hundreds of people say it helps them feel less alone.

If you're silently struggling, this might be for you.

I’m highly sensitive to pixels on the screen, staring at a non Mac screen significantly lower my coding efficiency. Is it just me?

I don’t know what to say. I feel like they might have struggled with self-doubt for their entire life anyway…it’s definitely not about the age, at least not 40…

I came across someone mentioning that they used to learn a bit of programming when they were younger, but now, at 40, they feel they're too old for a programming career. They think they can't compete with younger people and don’t feel smart enough. more..

the language or taking the time to think through the best approach.

These works remind me to slow down, strive for better solutions, and apply this mindset to both coding and running a business.

Great question, I launched it when I have the main function ready. Then I invited hundreds of people to test it and ask them to tell me what functions do they want in the future

Am I afraid of rejection? Not after spending time academia.

You learn to face it so often that it starts to feel like a badge of strength.

Just revised and resubmitted my paper today, wishing myself good luck again!

Tech-savvy folks, I’m looking to enhance the speech synthesis in my app. I’m aiming for a solution that can express tones and emotions effectively. Currently, I’m using Google text to speech, would you recommend exploring a different API? Any suggestions? OpenAI real time ?
