Hey Rohit — came across Zyaku and the 2,400+ people already on the waitlist caught my attention. It seems like you’re building something pretty ambitious, especially with the whole Create. Grow. Earn. idea.
I’ve been curious about how founders actually decide what to work on next when there are a million things competing for attention. Do you usually go with gut instinct, user feedback, data, or some combination? Genuinely curious how you approach it.
Appreciate that and honestly, I don’t think the answer is just gut instinct, user feedback, or data on their own. At Zyaku, we try to start with a simpler question what is actually limiting the product right now? Sometimes the data tells us. Sometimes users make it obvious and sometimes neither gives you the answer yet, because you’re building toward something people can’t fully articulate before it exists. That’s where founder judgment matters, but I’ve also learned that not everything competing for attention deserves to be worked on. A good idea can still be the wrong priority if it doesn’t strengthen the core product or move the larger system forward. So it’s really a combination user feedback and data help us understand reality, while instinct and first-principles thinking help us decide where Zyaku should go next. The hard part isn’t finding things to build. It’s being disciplined enough to decide what not to build yet.

I built Zyaku because creators deserve better than what existing social platforms offer. Shadowbans, zero revenue share, and bot-infested metrics have broken the creator economy. Zyaku is the all-in-one solution: Create.
