@joncphillips Amazing!

Yesterday I built a full internal SEO dashboard to monitor all my projects. It’s got a mix of APIs and webhooks. Google Search Console, Ahrefs, Umami stats (my own fork with some added features), OpenAI for some added reasoning, notifications via SES, an uptime monitoring tool, SEO audit tools, like 26 tools total. There’s tables, data, and charts everywhere, fully deployed. It's not the prettiest thing I've ever built, but it serves a purpose and does exactly what I need. Took 6 hours. Half of it I built from my couch on my phone using Claude Code’s remote control feature. Claude had SSH access to my laptop in the other room and handled deployments when I gave the greenlight. I wasn’t at a desk and I wasn’t in an office. I was on my couch, on my phone, approving deploys like I was reviewing a freakin’ Slack message. A year ago this would have taken a team a month+ to build. The “you need a team for that” era is ending and I don’t think most people have noticed yet.

@toddo @agentcommunity_ Wow - nice! 🙌

@joncphillips So true! There are some free sites that I have wished were paid (or at least Patreon supported) for many reasons because: 1) I love the content and want the site to last 2) The owner might put a higher priority on updates & features 3) And to show appreciation to the owner

If Wikipedia started charging say $1/mo tomorrow… every missing article would be totally unacceptable, and every error would have people cancelling. When you think about it, free Wikipedia feels like a gift, while paid Wikipedia would be kind of a subpar product. That’s the zero dollar distance. Same content, completely different relationship. This is why going from free to paid is so hard. The moment someone pays you anything, even $1, you go from generous creator to service provider. The entire dynamic flips.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Just been thinking about this more lately as I prepare to just drop the free plan on one of my SaaS. We’ll see how that goes!

@joelbrielles @xenasprincess Haha - can’t wait!

im cooking something can’t wait to finish it and share with you guys 😮‍💨

@drcosimacormier @ellisthemighty 😂 This made my day.

xena if she was an owl:

@alexwg I love this so much. Thank you to you and Peter for this beautiful blueprint and for everything you do. 💕🙏

@joelbrielles You are definitely worthy! People give because they want to give. No need to feel bad! And you have given the community so much with your website. That is something wonderful that you are giving to many people. 💕

i want to prove myself that i can do it. i hate myself when i can’t do anything in return for people who are nice to me. i feel wrong when i get something for free even they want to give it to me. sometimes i think im not doing enough or not worthy of the things ppl give me

a lot happened in the past few weeks and was really tough.. still now 😭 but i don’t give up easily— i just think about the people i care about and the people i lost because i wasn’t good enough 😔 they were so nice to me and made me who i am today. i will try to keep going

@joelbrielles Can’t wait to see more from you! 😁🙌

there was one time i was in a car and the driver played this song that reminded me of this xengab edit- motivated me to get back to working on the project bc i love editing so much— even though im not good at it i enjoy doing it and i love xenagab dearly😤

@joncphillips @gavinelliott Wow - amazing!

So, my friend @gavinelliott just casually gave me a website. Like, fully built, just handed it over. We've been friends on Twitter for 20 years and never met in real life. And he just goes "here, this is yours now if you want it." 🤯 And so I said yes, of course. It's bestaithings.com and it's actually pretty awesome. The internet is weird and sometimes it's also incredibly generous! I don't know what I did to deserve this but thank you so much Gavin. Let's see where I can take this now 📈

@toddo Exactly! I keep talking to family and friends about what an amazing time we’re in. Some are into it, but most just long blink and move on. Lol

the actual lesson from "learn to code" wasn't about code it was that the people who adapted early got a 5-year head start on everyone else we're at that exact same inflection point again right now. most people feel it but haven't moved yet moving before you're ready is the whole game

@toddo Ha - amazing! And thank you for no ads! Lol I just downloaded it - can’t wait to play it with Ashlyn. She will love it. (And I’ll have her download it to her iPad too. 😁🙌) Btw, I also started working on a book and an app project in Claude recently. It’s awesome. 😊

My kids keep asking me to approve $2.99 apps. Then 15 minutes later: "Dad, can we get the $4.99 upgrade?" Last month I paid $5.99 for a party game that they use quite a bit when they have friends over to play "the imposter game". So I built my own. Released it free. No ads. No upgrades. No catch. Just curiosity and a couple evenings of AI-assisted development. bluffed.fun

@imrogb Haha - hey Roger! I just started trying out Claude recently too. I love that you threatened to install Codex. 😂

Can someone put a $ in to feed the meter?

@Stray_Kids A message from Ashlyn: “Happy Birthday! I hope you will have a concert in Texas soon - and I hope you enjoy your birthday! 🎂

@joncphillips Ha - love it!

Gotta say that does seem pretty accurate!

@joelbrielles Congratulations and Happy Birthday!

FINALLY REACHED MY GOAL!🤍🙏 thank you so much guys 💖 one years older today — hope tomorrow is better and stronger 💖

@huuntresss I still remember the first time I watched this scene. Amazing. They literally paved the way in the 90’s.

The OG’s

@joncphillips And it’s great to see you are doing well! (I am starting to get back to X after a break. Lol)

@rohner Oh my, so good to hear from you Angela! Glad you liked the article 🙏

@joncphillips So true Jon! I have some of those old failed projects too, but it sure was fun building them. And the things we learn from them are priceless. (Also - congrats to all of your current projects! Happy to see you working on so many fun projects. I hope you are doing well.😊🙌)

Some projects don't make it. That's just how it goes. I spent six months building a watch directory. A fucking watch directory. I coded the whole thing by hand too (was in the very early days of AI coding) I launched it into nothing. 40-50 visitors a day now, and half are probably bots. It's a failed project. That's ok. But I know what didn't work now. I validated too late, built for way too long, and I launched into a market I hadn't tested and didn't know much about. I just built it cause I like watches. Classic pet project mistake. Won't do that again. Not everything ships to applause. Some projects just teach you what failure feels like so you recognize it faster next time.
