Marketing is hard. So I made something fun. I printed bright Riso postcards to promote my app Thoughts at WWDC.

I've just published a blog post about the making of my Thoughts postcards. From design and print process to business considerations:

Henri Bredt | On Marketing: Printing Postcards to promote my App Thoughts

It’s been a fun day at #WWDC25  Lots of people met, lots of questions asked, lots of things to look into in the upcoming weeks

See you soon at #wwdc25

If you see me next week at #WWDC25, ask me for a postcard ✨
To promote thoughts-app.com, I’ve printed high-quality cards you can send to your family or friends. They feature a quote on the front and a QR code on the back — you can scan it to save the quote directly to your Library in Thoughts, or get the app from the App Store if it isn’t installed it yet. I wanted to hand out sth. genuinely useful and am super happy with how the cards turned out :)

Perfect example for why there's no way to build good software with venture capital - no matter how great the team and their intentions, the need for exponential growth means the product will eventually either be enshittified or shut down.

Thoughts v1.7 adds Daily Reminder Notifications and I've written an in-depth walk through of why building this seemingly simple feature took me almost two months: https://henribredt.de/writing/thoughts-1-7
