Khannie – Lofi Dev

I'm a designer. Not a developer. But every AI writing tool I tried had the same problem: it forgot everything between sessions. Characters, plot, world-building — gone. Every session started at zero. So I vibe coded a fix. @narratex is an AI writing workspace with persistent story memory. It never asks your protagonist to introduce themselves again. Beta waitlist is open narratex.io

@Jacob_Rhodes_ It's this generation's version of a paper route or lemonade stand lol

Being a startup founder at 16 is opening your checking account and seeing half your bills are from Anthropic. No car payment, no rent, just a ton of extra Claude credits. This is what peak teenage financial responsibility looks like 😭

@Jacob_Rhodes_ I do hope my product would be really good to spread by word of mouth lol

Founders who struggle with marketing almost always have a marketing problem. They don't. They have a product problem wearing a marketing costume. Then they wonder why nothing converts. When your product is ACTUALLY good, something weird happens. Users start telling other people. Your Reddit posts get upvotes because the thing you're sharing is useful. Your cold DMs get replies because the landing page delivers on the promise. Marketing a mediocre product feels like pushing a boulder uphill. Marketing a great product feels like steering something that already has momentum. The 3 things that move growth the fastest are retention, word of mouth, and trust. All 3 come from the product, not the campaign. If your marketing isn't working, the answer is not more marketing. It's a better product.

@vella_gyaani Hmm if it's the left image then it has made some better improvements

ChatGPT Images 2.0 is insane. 🤯 Ran the same prompt through Gemini just to compare. Guess which one's generated by ChatGPT? 👇

@Devinbuild Going well now that I'm seriously getting my product launched in a month!

We’re almost 5 months into 2026. How’s your goals coming along?

@Layton_Gott Having them play a specific role does help two agents not cross over lanes.

The biggest mistake when using multiple AI coding agents: Letting them touch the same layer. That’s how you get: → different patterns → different assumptions → different state handling → random UI drift Claude Code and Codex work way better with clear ownership. Give each agent a lane: One writes the spec One commits the change One reviews what broke That’s how 2 agents become useful together.

@Layton_Gott Yeah AI is just a tool and not the end all of tools

People think better AI = better apps. Not necessarily. Better decisions = better apps. AI just speeds up whatever direction you’re already going.

@Layton_Gott 25% is a lot to give up. I'd say no for that reason.

Your SaaS JUST hit $10K/month... An investor offers $500K for 25% But wants to push the product in a different direction. Do you take the deal? Or Stay solo and grow it your way?

@DannyFlex225 Without frustration, we won't learn or grow

When I started learning tech, nothing made sense. I’d watch tutorials… feel like I understood… then try to build something and get stuck immediately. That frustration? That’s actually where growth begins.

@DannyFlex225 it's definitely a gamechanger for sure

The first time I used AI to help me debug code… I was shocked. What used to take hours took minutes. That’s when I realized: this isn’t just a tool, it’s a shift.

@_Chandan_17 None of them? I just go straight to Claude Code now.

Be honest, which is the best vibe coding tool?

@_Chandan_17 Night! It's still the afternoon for me lol

Good night 😴 Enjoy your weekend, and enjoy the payout tomorrow.

@Layton_Gott This is true with any AI though because that happened to me with Codex lol

Claude Code rewrote 4 files to fix a one-line bug last week... I didn't ask it to. Scope your AI agents before they scope your codebase for you: → One file, not a folder → List what it cannot touch → Make it explain the fix first

@Layton_Gott Exactly! Who cares about the backend lol

I don’t care if using AI to code is not “real coding” I care if the product works. Nobody opens your app and asks how many lines you wrote manually. They click around for 10 seconds and decide if it sucks or not.

@Layton_Gott People who say a product "is an AI wrapper" doesn't understand the process devs do in order to make a tedious task into a full ecosystem workflow. That's why I built a full brainstorming and writing platform @narratex with AI.

Claude Code didn’t get worse because Claude got worse... It got worse because Anthropic changed the product layer around it. That’s what matters when you’re building AI apps. The model can be great. But the experience depends on everything wrapped around it: → the defaults it starts with → the system prompt guiding it → the context it remembers → the tools it can use → the way sessions carry over When that layer breaks, users don’t blame the wrapper. They think the AI is dumb. This is why I don’t buy the “AI apps are just wrappers” argument anymore. The wrapper isn’t the whole product. But it decides how smart the product feels.

@JoseInNorte This is a great video!

Fortune just confirmed what I've been saying: credit card fees keep climbing and perks are harder to cash in 😮‍💨

@Layton_Gott Sounds like a good plan! Looking forward to your results.

@lofivibesdev Firstly, I plan to use them both for a project I'm doing, and then I'll have them try to fix bugs with the same prompts, and see who's better, just all that stuff.

It’s finally time... I’m putting GPT-5.5 vs Claude Code Opus 4.7 head-to-head on the same real project. Benchmarks don't mean crap... results do. I'm using each for what they’re best at and exposing where they suck. Let’s see which is better and how well they can work together.

🎟️ Got my ticket for the new home for #buildinpublic. X is shutting down Communities on May 30. Come with me: buildinpublic.com/?ref=lofivibes…

@_Chandan_17 .com if you can get it .ai is cool but are costly these days I landed with .io

which domain is best?, honestly.. .ai .io .com .app .tech .dev .in

@_Chandan_17 Reddit has been working super well for me

Gm Dev's 🌞 Let’s have a conversation: X or Reddit for distribution?

@YashHustle_22 Honestly I’d say clean code because if the foundation isn’t solid then it’ll be hard to fix down the line

When coding your app, what do you optimize for? * speed to ship * clean code
