Refocus
Virtual coworking for accountability. Get more done.
About
Refocus is a virtual coworking web app built for people who want to get deep work done with real accountability, not another endless video call. Pick a 25, 50, or 75-minute focus session, share what you’re working on, and work alongside someone else who’s showing up for the same reason. Refocus pairs you with a partner or lets you invite friends, keeps timers in sync, and makes it easy to book, join, and track sessions from one dashboard. Whether you’re studying, shipping a side project, or pushing through a remote workday, Refocus turns “I’ll focus later” into a committed block you actually finish. Free to start, no credit card required.

We basically ask for ratings after we've delivered value to the user. That multiplied by the number of downloads... helps overall. We don't try to do too much gymnastics with trying to get more ratings.
Ask for Ratings Only After You've Delivered Value — Organic Velocity Beats Artificial Prompts
Super Unlimited has 2 million+ high-quality ratings while explicitly avoiding rating-prompt tricks. Tanuj's rule: trigger the request only after the user has received real value from the session. At million-downloads-per-day scale, even a modest honest rating rate produces massive ASO velocity. Over-prompting or ill-timed requests kills both UX and rating quality.
Serendipity is something that you got to use at your advantage and when you're building something from scratch you just got to use every little opportunity you can
Be physically present where serendipity compounds
Resend becoming a core Laravel transport — and by extension Symphony — started from a chance hallway conversation at an event, not outbound. For developer tools, conferences are the highest-leverage distribution channel: one warm intro to a framework maintainer outranks months of content SEO. Budget calendar time for in-person events even at a 7-person company.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
