Álvaro Trigo 🐦🔥

Years ago I made my first JavaScript plugin. With no experience and as an experiment to improve my skills. 3 years later I earned enough with it to quit my job. A few days ago the library got the record of 21K npm downloads in one week. Don't wait to be a mater, start now!

@robj3d3 @tibo_maker 💪💪 awesome comeback!!

We're soooooOOOO back. The biggest update ever comes tomorrow.

@SimonHoiberg Man, Switzerland buses are scary as hell, with drugg addicts, homeless and drunken people everywhere. No need to paint the country with drugg consumption toilets and supervised injection facilities as the best place on earth.

In Spain, I always used Uber Black to get around. I would never use public transport in Spain, it was the dirtiest, scrappiest (and sometimes outright dangerous) experience. Even Uber Black in Spain was kinda bad, to be honest. In 🇨🇭 Switzerland, I use trains everyday. It's a luxury experience. Impeccably clean, quiet and nice, breathtaking nature, and a very comfortable way to work. I direct my AI agent team through Telegram, and we get a lot of work done on this 1h ride back and forth. Only in 🇨🇭 Switzerland.

@SachinNeravath Almost at the same time that I did! 😂

Wow! Got 6 months of Claude Max 20x plan for free.. 😍 Thank you open source and Anthropic.

Yeeeeyy! 🥳 I got accepted into the Claude Code program that supports open-source projects & developers 🙏 I didn't even know it existed. Great initiative from them to give back to the community!!

@hexablob @marclou 100% times prefer no smile over the current trend in Europe.

@marclou But still no smiles on faces

Subway in South Korea ❄️ AC 🌬️ Air purifier ⏰ Punctuality 📡 50Mbps WiFi 🧽 Clean as a whistle The European mind can’t comprehend this

@AlexLlullTW The yellow background guy, right? :D I almost don't recognise you with the new avatar! Welcome man! 💪

hey mutuals! disappeared from X for 2 years, figured it's time for a proper reintro 👋 > started in ad agencies. first contact with influencer marketing there, but realized I liked building things more than presenting things > got fired, started my own thing as a freelance > after a while, I joined TweetHunter/Taplio (then lemlist) to run creator ops. learned how creator tools actually work from the inside > as a side quest, I also built a newsletter (The Steal Club) that I sold because... > became a dad to a now almost 2 years old energy ball > now running partnerships and the creator program at Perspective. bootstrapped, ~$10M ARR AI funnel builder > non-technical but building AI agents with Claude now apparently. no clue how I got here honestly > based in Madrid, Spain (great match yesterday) back on here for real this time 🤟

@jogicodes Hey Jogi! Have you checked what country Google assigned to your Google account? I got this concerning email just 2 days ago I guess because I stayed in Da Nang for 3 months... I think you can check here: policies.google.com/country-associ…

My YouTube shorts get played out mostly in Thailand... Seems like youtube is algo gated too

@tominerd Is your foot ok now Tom? I saw a video of you going to a hospital some weeks ago? :D

INDIE HACKER PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT. TODAY. IN DA NANG. loose a match, loose 50% MRR. stakes are high.

The problem is not where he will pay taxes from now on, is it? Bit if Germany will allow him to leave without losing the exit tax, which was created specifically for his plan. They dont want you to leave without paying. You can very probably lower it lowering the value of your company somehow, but yeah totally worth asking an expert. Gosh you guys have even a worse tax exit than us in Spain!!

@onlinedopamine Nice :)

Quick question to all the Germans that left Germany: Can you recommend a tax advisor (Steuerberater) that could help me close my sole proprietorship (Gewerbe) in Germany and avoid or lower Entstrickungssteuer (exit tax)? Legally of course. I plan to open a US LLC. Ideally you had good experiences with them personally. Thanks guys 🫶

@tsvtxt And you need to clean the phones' lenses 😉

Finally arrived in Cyprus. It’s hot. Really. I feel so tired. But at least I have 2 monitors 🤠

@SachinNeravath I messed up too. Got distracted with blogging about non direct topics on the same domain. Even before AI 😂

Crazy SEO learning.. free tools can harm your site more than help it.. Last year I added a few free tools to the lightGallery website. YouTube thumbnail downloader, JS library tracker, etc.. thought they'd bring relevant traffic. The tools kept growing.. Eventually they were most of my traffic. Google's read of the site slowly shifted.. "this is a thumbnail downloader site with some JS demos attached" .. and the keywords that actually mattered, the ones that were ranking top 3 for years, got demoted one by one You can see it in the screenshot below.. the exact moment the free tools started picking up is when the relevant keywords started dropping.. Worst SEO mistake I've made. If you build free tools for your project, make sure they are dead-center in your niche

@itinio_app @alexcooldev Haven't tried yet :)

@IMAC2 @alexcooldev ExpressVPM keeps on failing for me, did you find an alternative that works??

One of my TikTok posts from 3 days ago has started picking up nicely, reaching 61K views with 84% (and still growing) of the audience coming from the US, using a VPN-only setup. As I mentioned before, TikTok doesn’t ban VPNs. What gets flagged are low-quality or heavily abused VPN IPs that have been used for spam. The most important factor is still the content. If your content doesn’t resonate with the audience in the country you’re targeting, you’ll likely get stuck at 100–2,000 views, regardless of whether you’re using a VPN or not. And if you’re already in the US, you don’t need a VPN at all, just using a local SIM card is enough.

@zippcall @JoshMead so. There's no way to get an invoice from ZippCall? I see the company is in the UK, so I'm a bit surprised tbh. As far as I know they are also necessary in the UK to justify income/expenses?

@JoshMead how do we get the invoices from Zippcall?

@btcede @robj3d3 @levelsio I had savings about in the UK with Barclays. They also forced me out of them when i left the UK. They send letters asking for proof of residence in the UK.

@robj3d3 @levelsio In practice, the onus is on the bank, not you. If they offer you services still, what is the risk to you?

I'm leaving UK tax residence for good 🇬🇧 Now no UK bank will let me open a savings account, so where am I supposed to put my money? @levelsio I know you had issues with Wise?

Both will ask you for documents to proof your tax residence. So the question is where you’ll have it and then check if Revolut or Wise operate in this countries. I have my company account with Revolut and i had no issues with > 100k. Not sure if the personal account will be any different but i doubt it.

@Andrey__HQ @levelsio Maybe cos you're US? No idea, I heard it's problematic if you want to move $100k+ Trying to plan ahead even tho I don't have that kinda money yet

@robj3d3 @tibo_maker That looks promising!!

The future of SuperX is almost here.

@kryptoedgeyt 5% after inflation?

Ein durchschnittlicher deutscher Arbeitnehmer zahlt über sein Arbeitsleben rund 500.000€ in die Rentenkasse ein. Hätte er dieses Geld selbst investiert, bei bescheidenen 5% Rendite, wären es am Ende über 1,5 Millionen Euro. Allein die jährlichen Zinsen wären rund 75.000€. Und was verspricht ihm der Staat stattdessen? Eine Durchschnittsrente von etwa 1.600€ im Monat. Das sind nur rund 19.000€ im Jahr. 75.000€ jährliche Zinsen wären möglich gewesen. 19.000€ Rente bekommt er. Und es kommt noch schlimmer. Dein Geld wird nicht mal investiert es wird sofort an die aktuellen Rentner ausgezahlt. Stirbst du mit 66, ist alles weg. Nichts wird vererbt. Deine Frau, deine Kinder, sie alle sehen keinen Cent davon. Würde dir ein privater Finanzberater diesen Deal vorschlagen, würdest du ihn wegen Betrugs anzeigen. Aber in Deutschland nennt man es den Generationenvertrag.
