I too set it up so all unknown calls go to VM. I figure if legit they will leave a message. If two calls and no message I block the unknown number.

I love and hate this feature. I use it all the time with Claude, and find it super useful. At the same time I wish it didn’t exist so I was unable to continue to do work away from my computer. Kinda like the days before mobile phone and when you left the office work mostly ended.

I think they are releasing the native app so they can have the omni-present ask bar that some people I assume like. Also I assume their CLI will be eventually integrated into this app.

New comment by gbourne1 in "Ask HN: How do you handle marketing as a solo technical founder?"

gbourne1 — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 02:20:28 +0000

As a builder/developer, marketing often isn't considered "fun". But you need to do it, else the build was for your personal entertainment/learning exp (which is sometimes a good thing).

What I do is stop building and focus 100% on marketing - well, 90% because I can't help myself. Even if this isn't as "fun", you need to switch modes and stop building.

As for my approach, I start with Google Ads + SEO/AEO. Google ads can get results in a few weeks (Google does have a learning phase) and SEO and AEO is a much longer process, which can be months before you see results. I use AHREF to check my SEO/AEO progress. While AHREF isn't a direct measurement of Google, I've found their DR to be correlated with my organic traffic.
