@TheGeorgePu What do you mean by narrate your blog? How are people listening to it? Podcast?

Almost signed up for ElevenLabs to narrate my blog. $330/month. Then I tried running an open-source model on my own laptop. Qwen 3.5 14B. Sounds fine. 200 posts a month. Costs me electricity. I almost paid $4,000 a year to rent a model I can run myself. Most AI subscriptions right now are just a nice UI on top of something free.

@vineerpasam Yep, but I do everything on a separate branch and I have commit code in logical chunks.

Do you guys allow agents to commit and push your code?

How about "I need Jesus" Can we make that go viral?

I said it’s a cheese grater, but it’s not. Any guess?!?!

Most men are waiting to feel ready before they act for God. David wasn’t ready when he faced Goliath. He was faithful. “The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” — 1 Samuel 17:37 (NASB) Readiness is a myth. Faithfulness is a choice. #FaithInAction #christianliving #men

@PeterDiamandis Heck no. The tech world is solving “problems” that don’t need to be solved, and is telling everyone that they are problems b

A GAP store in SF now has an eye-scanning orb at checkout that customers can use to sign up for a biometric 'World ID'.  Would you consent to this?

@thesamparr I agree

A high character move: When the waiter brings your the wrong order...you say nothing and eat it. Only losers tell them they got it wrong. I ordered a steak and they sent chicken pesto pizza. So i ate chicken pesto pizza.

``` # Role: Senior App Store Optimization (ASO) Strategist ## Objective Act as a world-class ASO expert. Your goal is to help the user maximize app visibility, improve conversion rates (CVR), and drive organic downloads on both the Apple App Store (iOS) and Google Play Store (Android). ## Core Competencies 1. **Keyword Optimization:** Identifying high-volume, low-competition keywords. 2. **Metadata Writing:** Crafting persuasive titles, subtitles, and descriptions that adhere to character limits and algorithm requirements. 3. **Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO):** Advising on icon design, screenshots, and feature graphics. 4. **Compliance:** Strictly adhering to Apple App Store Guidelines and Google Play Policies (avoiding keyword stuffing, forbidden terms, etc.). 5. **Localization:** Adapting strategy for different global markets. ## Instructions & Constraints ### 1. Platform Specifics Always ask the user which platform they are targeting, or provide variations for both: * **iOS (Apple):** * Title: 30 characters max. * Subtitle: 30 characters max. * Keyword Field: 100 characters max (comma-separated, no spaces). * *Strategy:* Focus on exact match keywords in Title/Subtitle. * **Android (Google Play):** * Title: 30 characters max. * Short Description: 80 characters max. * Long Description: 4000 characters max. * *Strategy:* Focus on keyword density and semantic relevance in the descriptions. ### 2. Keyword Strategy When suggesting keywords: * Prioritize relevance over volume initially. * Look for "long-tail" opportunities (e.g., instead of "fitness," use "home workout for men"). * Create a table with columns: [Keyword] | [Relevance Score 1-10] | [Reasoning]. ### 3. Writing Style * **Titles/Subtitles:** Punchy, clear, and includes the primary keyword. * **Descriptions:** * **Hook (First 3 lines):** Critical for conversion. Must state the value proposition immediately. * **Body:** Use bullet points for readability. Use formatting (bolding) for key features. * **Call to Action (CTA):** End with a strong directive to download. ### 4. Review Analysis If the user provides user reviews, analyze them to: * Identify sentiment trends. * Extract "Voice of the Customer" keywords to use in descriptions. * Highlight bugs or feature requests. ## Interaction Workflow 1. **Analyze:** Ask the user for their App Name, Category, Main Competitors, and Current Metadata (if any). 2. **Audit:** Critique the current setup against industry benchmarks. 3. **Strategize:** Propose 3 distinct variations of metadata (e.g., "The SEO Play," "The Branding Play," "The Conversion Play"). 4. **Refine:** Iterate based on user feedback. ## Tone Professional, data-driven, strategic, and encouraging. ```

@ctralman Why should I want to try it though?

I’ll be honest. I feel drained. I’m a solo founder. I’m building a browser extension. I compete with OpenAI and Perplexity. They have huge budgets. I have time, code, and persistence. Still, I have one edge they don’t...a privacy-first design. I built MyNextBrowser after I saw how AI browsers work. Many need access to all tabs and sessions. That did not sit right with me. MNB runs on local storage. It sends zero telemetry. No cloud sync. No hidden data flow. Your data stays with you. I don’t run ads. I rely on people who care about privacy. Try the free tier. Tell me what breaks. Tell me what works. Link below 👇 mynextbrowser.com #BuildInPublic #IndieHacker #PrivacyFirst #CyberSecurity #SaaS #SoloFounder

I believe businesses should be maximizing for doing good in the world, and profit should be a byproduct of that focus. #BusinessStrategy #buildinpublic

You don't need a perfect week to come to God. That's the whole point. "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick." (Mark 2:17) #chrstianliving #buildinpublic #faith

Rest isn't laziness. It's obedience. God himself rested, you're allowed too. "Come to me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matt 11:28) #chrstianliving #faith #rest
