Weekly Update 🎉: Prototype in Motion, Bringing Nabb v2 to Life
TL;DR
- Prototype of the next version of Nabb is live and working inside Instagram Messenger
- Current focus: improving stability and refining UX before launch
- Daily posting on @patbuildsanapp has hit two weeks, process improving, results still building
- Main goals this week: fix data inconsistencies, refine core prompt, and test new content hooks
Hi Everyone,
We’re making real progress this week. With a working prototype of the new version of Nabb now being tested, we’re getting closer to something we can put in your hands.
Development Updates
The next version of Nabb is officially running inside Instagram Messenger. It’s still fragile, but it’s proving that what we set out to build is possible.
Users can now send a piece of content through Messenger, and Nabb identifies the items mentioned in the video, surfacing links to buy, book, or learn more. Think of it as gathering all the most useful links related to the content you share.
Next steps: stabilize the system and smooth out the UX so the flow feels effortless. This solves one of the biggest pain points in the current version (too many clicks during submission) and should help users get what they need faster and more intuitively.
Growth Update
We’ve hit two weeks of daily posting on @patbuildsanapp. The shift to daily content has been challenging but rewarding, each day we’re getting more efficient, aiming to keep the workload under an hour.
Instagram is starting to push videos faster, but we haven’t yet broken through on retention. Over the next few weeks, we’ll focus on improving hooks and story arcs to boost watch time and reduce skip rate.
This Week’s Focus
- Engineering: Fix data inconsistencies and improve stability in the processing pipeline
- Product: QA updates, refine the primary prompt, and continue UX polish
- Growth: Continue daily posting and test new hooks to improve retention
Looking Ahead
The new version is taking shape quickly. By narrowing scope, we’re iterating faster and moving toward launch at a much better pace. I’m excited to see the Messenger experience stabilize over the next week and start to feel like the product we’ve envisioned.
Thanks,
Pat
