If I could give new parents one tip: take more videos in the first 3 years. I took tons of photos, but videos are what make you feel like you’re back in that moment.

Would love to see the churn rate % for these AI apps racing to $10M. At 10% monthly churn, you're basically at zero in ten months. If you're adding users to just keep up, then you're just dying a slow death.
