Sometimes I wish X didn't show impressions. But then I see people with tens of thousands of followers getting <1000 impressions on posts.
Followers are just a tiny part of the equation, appeasing the algorithm is way more important.

One thing I don't about MCP get is why people want their code editor to have access to online services like Supabase?
Why would you want your editor to be able to modify your database?
Shouldn't you (have the editor) write a migration and then let CI execute it?

Was looking up a business, clicked on their Trustpilot page via Google
One 4* review = 3.6* average

Anyone else hate when an LLM searches the web instead of just coming up with the answer directly?
Especially talking about larger models here that have sufficient knowledge, ie. Claude Sonnet 3.7.
The answer without web search is so much more useful....

I applied for Antler Residency, been a while since I got "rejected", was good to practice getting out of comfort zone.
I participated in Startup Bootcamp Fintech back in 2015 and learned a lot from it, despite the fact I don't really want to be VC funded anyway.
Moving on :)

I have a long enough runway to just yolo, but I'll be honest, sometimes I do wonder if I should go back to employment/co-founding with others.
I really don't enjoy distribution/marketing. I guess an alternative would be to pay someone to help me with it.

F1 season about to start, I've never been this hyped for it!
I never really followed sports, but after attending my first race in 2016 and seeing the cars up close I was hooked.
(2016 cars didn't have the halo, this picture is from 2019)

I also want to switch to @polar_sh but I fear if using a lesser known payment processor might hurt conversion rates.
Then I went to checkout Supastarter's checkout and it looks very good, even has my Stripe Link saved and ready to use. It's probably not the reason for no sales?

I've been listening to ADHD Is Awesome audiobook, really enjoying it. Introduction of the book reminds everyone of the definition of awesome, not what I thought it was 😂

You've inspired me, I honestly don't know what I'm trying to gain from posting on social media, I usually just read and so far I haven't "gained" anything from being a poster vs lurker. But perhaps being consistent, raw and honest will open up some new opportunities.

I think a product made using vibe coding becomes a real red flag when it's a product you "need"

I have an urge to rewrite my desktop app from scratch and take all the lessons I've learned these past 6 months.
The code became quite a mess and I regret choosing IndexedDB instead of File over App.
Of course, I should be doing marketing since my users love the app as is 🤷♂️

Not sure if possible, but a cool thing for @raycastapp would be emitting events when certain things happen, ie. when I complete a Focus session, I'd love to be able to listen to it (in my own extension so I can take an action there)

Grateful for @FeaturebaseHQ's free plan. Can't yet justify $49 a month for it, but it's so nice seeing users leave feedback, comment and upvote. Definitely will upgrade as Focu grows.
I started with posting my own ideas, and over time actual users joined in, which feels really good.

Marketing is by far the toughest part of being self-employed for me. I don't enjoy it.
I can visualize how I want it to be, but results are slow compared to tech.
What can I do?
Option 1: suck it up / find a way to enjoy it
Option 2: pay someone
Option 3: find a co-founder

Why I love @TauriApps . Few lines of Rust code that any AI can help you generate to use secure storage (ie. keychain on MacOS/iOS).
Now all I have to do is `await invoke("store_api_key", { keyName: provider, apiKey });` from my TypeScript frontend and done :)

Will soon release an update for Focu that adds support for any cloud AI provider. Thanks to @OpenRouterAI you can start for free :)
Local AI with Ollama is amazing, but the fact is, the online models are much more powerful than anyone could run on consumer hardware.
