So Ballast is the fitness tracker I built for myself. It's open source for you to do whatever you want with it! 😁 github.com/N-O-P-E/Ballast - Fully customizable - No database, just JSON (export/import your data anytime) - Runs as a PWA, has been a breeze - Been using it for 3 months and honestly it's all I need

@deckard_the_dev Congrats man! it can fly if you invest some time in the platform! Dropped you a follow!

300 followers 🎉 It's a small number but it means a lot Genuinely didn't expect to get here this fast. Thank you to everyone who's been following the journey Big things coming. Stashr beta drops soon and the waitlist is open for early access The best is yet to come

@_tenZdhon_ Unlucky that my update is not there yet

@bas_fijneman It’s really good

im loving this new UI not using CLI anymore

@fatimazahr64517 Thank you so much Zohra!

@bas_fijneman Congrats

Actually crazy, yesterday I tweeted that I was 15 away from 150 and we are now already closing in on 200! It is very nice to connect with you all, feel free to send me a message or spar with me about anything! 🔥

@TVanWelsenes Yess, abandoned X for a year and came back last week to actively use it and connect with people! I think building in public and meeting new people with the same goals is very important and must say a blast so far! You have some nice projects live already I see!

@bas_fijneman Nice man! De 200 is binnen zie ik

@TVanWelsenes Ja toch Thomas! Nice

@bas_fijneman Happy to connect mate! Fellow dutchie?

You can get good at anything in 30 days. You won't be world-class, obviously, but if you go all-in, you'll outpace 95% of people who've been dabbling for years. Most people never feel what real focus does to a life.

@AliGrids @azhassan_ That is one smooth animation, sheesh! Love it Ali

SwiftUI's quiet flex No flicker. No jump. Just flow. @azhassan_

@arthuryuzbashew @mediafa_st Nicee! Well done Arthur, the first sale is the most difficult one and maybe the most exciting one! Now lets go for 10

🎉 MADE MY FIRST SALE OFC I meant it with the new pricing on @mediafa_st! Got emails and DMs asking why I did it... Decided to TEST + see if I can filter low value clients 📈 Will report how it goes 🔥

@rileybrown This will be the next couple of years that they try to outperform each other over and over and over again. For now I still think Anthropic has a huge edge over the other platforms since it is so well established in the coding community but who knows

I was wrong. Everyone is building the same thing. Which will create competition. Which will create acceleration. A race to create the best superapp. May the best AI lab win.

@amorriscode @dani_avila7 Will do whenever I have the chance to test it!

@bas_fijneman @dani_avila7 the app should be a lot better now but let me know!

The Claude Code team gave me early access to the new version of Claude Code Desktop and I’ve been using it for the past few days… here’s what I’ve liked most about this new version 1- Panel creation and the ability to run agents simultaneously. This makes me think we’ll definitely see these agents working in a coordinated way, communicating across sessions.

@designerants Those look all really nice, I bet they convert like crazy! Love them and followed you for sure!

Some of my work from March! ✨ Doing lots of Apple Ads work lately.

@JustinHallTech @dani_avila7 interesting, I don't have it in mine yet unfortunately

@bas_fijneman @dani_avila7 It’s a lot closer on my quick run thrus today

@indiesoftwaredv These video's are so sick Muhammet hahah! Can't wrap my head around it

Mobile app marketing? > Multiple app screenshots > Generated character > Post consistent > Run Meta/TikTok ads I generated a fitness influencer She gets likes, comments and saves Women gets engage with this account I don't focus on marketing I m giving exercise videos (AI-generated) That builds loyalty with the audience 🎉

I kill more projects than I ship. Every time I'm close to launching I convince myself it's not good enough yet. The code works. The problem is me.

@DeRonin_ been there with the "marketing later" lie honestly the hardest part is just starting to post consistently about what you're building, even when it feels like nobody's watching

Imagine you just launched your first product: > great product > clean landing page > zero users > zero revenue > 14 likes > 3 are bots > you tell yourself "marketing later" > later never comes "okay, but how to fix it?" > then you find LarryBrain > a skills marketplace for AI agents > you install the Larry marketing skill > it starts making TikToks for your product > slideshows, hooks, captions, posting > your product finally gets seen > first impressions turn into first users > you also write about the stack on X > 7M impressions > a tool you mentioned adds $60K in MRR most builders do the first part almost nobody masters the second part that is why great products stay invisible and why the right attention can change everything study this.

@kapilansh_twt yea for sure man, people who say such things have no idea how AI works and that keeps me thinking we are still miles ahead of most people

@bas_fijneman most people treat it like “asking nicely” it’s actually closer to writing specs

Running my SaaS, I'm realizing prompt engineering isn't going away, it's becoming as fundamental as writing good copy or explaining your product clearly. It's literally how we communicate with AI tools that run half our operations now. (or the whole operation) 😅

@alexalbert__ So Alex this is what I'm questioning idd, is it now good enough to ditch my terminal? I usually run 3 terminals with 3 projects at the same time, will this be seamless and easy to navigate through?

New version of Claude Code in the desktop app dropped today with tons of new features and performance improvements. Between Cowork and Code, I've found I don't really need to open other apps (or even my terminal) to do most of my work now.

@ThePrimeagen Slowly changing your mind just means you're running good tests. Fast certainty is usually just confidence that never compiled.

Its crazy how many people think slowly changing your mind and testing your theories is bad or makes you dumb.
