One of my favourite things is reading with my daughter in our little nook 💙📚
Today, I picked up “Smart Startups” from our local library, and she chose “Bedtime for Cranky Crab”.
It’s safe to say our reading tastes are shell-shocking different!

One thing about me is that I love to learn and share knowledge within the community. Presented at my first virtual meetup this year with developers from all over the world, talking about all things Search and RAG applications. I loved the engagement and it was a lot of fun.

Finally happy with the basic user management and onboarding flow I’ve been building over the past number of weeks for asem! Now putting in place some final security measures!
The cyber attacks on DeepSeek is a gentle reminder to keep security in mind when building your MVP!

30mins! That’s the amount of time it took me to onboard a local cake business onto asemlocal.com.
I am getting close to automating this whole process so I can open it up to more amazing small businesses for locals to discover!

Keen to know if you’re leveraging GenAI in your product. What’s been your experience ?
#buildinpublic
#buildinpublic
Yea you’re right, I’ve been using their llama models locally to plan for moderation on the app I’m building so I’d be surprised if the meta team aren’t leveraging AI that way already. Maybe fact checking became too expensive or unreliable ?
The memes crack me up though 😂

I too would like to know because SEO has been an after thought for me so far. I’ve just been focused on trying to build something valuable that people will organically share around, but I’m starting to learn from folks on BlueSky that there’s another game to be played.
Just starting my #SEO journey!
#BuildInPublic - What tools, guides, or strategies helped you when you were getting started?
Free resources are a big plus for now 😅
Also, how do you go about finding good #keywords?

I’m constantly battling between building the minimum features and the fully rich experience 😭
This user management flow has been a headache! It’s one I want to get right because I too love a smooth onboarding experience.

Love to see more people on our walking track this time of the year!
I think to myself: I might not see you again in a couple of weeks, but the fact that you’ve made an effort is a win in my books!
Reminder to carve out time to take care of yourself✌🏿

Number 3: Reef wonders
Toured the Great Barrier Reef and learned that marine plants produce more oxygen than the Amazon rainforest 🤯
The waters are out of this world! I’m now on a side mission to learn to scuba dive 🤿

Number 2: Four Continents, One Team
I met my team for the first time in Prague and it was a blast! I work for a remote-first company.
If I ever build a startup, it’ll probably be remote first, only because I’ve experienced it done really well.

After spending some time in the arena, I’ve come to appreciate the combat mechanics even more! I feel the story is at its dull point at the moment so hoping it picks up soon!

Is buying a website domain name an investment ? The numbers I’m hearing are crazy!
Turns out negotiating for an existing domain name requires a minimum offer of $10K USD ?!! 🤯

🎉 Onboarded a new small business to the platform I’m building for the community - this time a massage studio: asem.au/b/capitalhil...
Things are still a bit manual on my end but I hope to roll out my first iteration of a signup process early in the new year!

🎄Ho ho ho Merry Christmas to y’all on the other half of the planet!
🎁 It’s Boxing Day here but this was a bit of my day:
✅ Hugged my family
✅ Realised we bought the boring version of Codenames
✅ Challenged by my daughter to a sprint
✅ Ate delicious cuisines from Ghana
✅ Danced to APT.
