I've finally finished my landing page and released, lets goooooo!! I would love people to try it, so comment below and I'll send a key to try the app out. Its a desktop app that generates subtitles for any video/audio locally - supports 99+ languages! subsmith.app

@robj3d3 I don’t use twitter much but it’s been a while since I’ve read a tweet which resonates and was genuinely uplifting. I’ve been feeling on/off about my current app for a while now - creating something through the silence is difficult. Thanks and will hopefully reach out one day

Nobody talks about how isolating the indie builder path actually is. You're shipping alone. Making product decisions that could define the next year of your life… and there's no one around who truly gets it. Your old friends don't understand. Your family thinks you're "just freelancing" You can't share your wins because it sounds like bragging. You can't share your losses because you'll hear "just get a real job." So you carry it all quietly. Then you open X and everyone looks like they're printing money. And you're sitting there thinking "Am I the only one barely holding it together?" You're not 🤝 If you're early-stage, confused, or just grinding solo with no real support system, my DMs are open always 🫶 And next time you have the chance to lift someone else up, do it!. There aren't many of us in this little bubble.

Launched on Beta List today - will be interested to see how this goes.

@malikayunus @lottsnomad Also have a desktop app based on education - language learning. I’d love to know more about the ugc methods you used

@lottsnomad Well from just 1 ugc account (so far), I made 1000€ on my desktop app from 2 weeks of marketing

ugc is not a strategy for a desktop app its a strategy for mobile apps thats why it didnt work for cluely it made no logical sense you’re right though views don’t equal revenue but are an indication on content market fit

@DavidGQuaid Just bringing a bit of balance here as a web dev - I've really been enjoying your podcasts with @edwardeachday on Youtube. I'm an SEO beginner at the moment - learning the basics about pagerank and topical authority. Its been super interesting and valuable!!

Q: Why don't web devs understand SEO first before coming to SEOs thinking they can solve problems that dont exist? A: Cos they believe they know everything cos they're web devs and SEOs couldnt hack it as web devs so they're stuck doing SEO which is just web maintenance work

@HansPlg953 Showing a 404 for me

Here’s a quick checklist for launching on Product Hunt with a 0 audience: • Prep communities where folks actually care • Warm up a small email list before launch • Use missed-launch analytics for version 2 • Submit to targeted places like 300aidirectories.com/best-ai-

@Brindlec87 I'd suggest looking into index funds or ETFs. There are a lot of great resources about how and what to invest in on Youtube. Ben Felix is really good but a bit technical. From the UK - I'd probably say Toby Newbatt or DamienTalksMoney would be good places to start

My dividends portfolio up £240 since I started it in August 25. Currently brings in £10-£50 a month in dividends, which then get reinvested, thus increasing the dividend amount again. Compounding is real 🔥

Love a bit of subtle refactoring and design. Minimalism >>>>

Wrote 80% of a subscription backend integration with Stripe before finding out about RevenueCat 😅 Oh well - live and learn eh 🫡

@averycode I like it - pretty cool!

I vibe coded an interactive particle playground with opus 4.5 You can literally control particles using your hands 🤯 (three.js + mediapipe) Try it yourself

The ultimate language learning dilemma. 🍬🗣️ "The Quick-Draw" (Purple) for zero fluency lag is the dream. If you could only have ONE for the rest of your life, which are you picking? 👇 #LangTwt #LanguageLearning #Polyglot #StudyTwt

Been doing a lot of SEO stuff recently - the hardest part is definitely not knowing if any of the decisions you’re making are the right ones. Feedback loop is very long and slow - hoping to look back on this in a few months happy that I persisted!! 🫡

Been messing around Anti gravity today - I’m starting to like the process with it. Bought the Gemini Pro AI subscription ✅ Fixed OAuth issues converting to use async channels in Rust ✅ Brainstormed a new strategy for SEO - hoping to implement over the next few weeks/months!!

My 2026 goals are now set! • Scale my app to 100 active users • Build & launch a new app • Reach 1k followers on X • Post over 100 Tiktoks Just a few realistic, achievable goals to stay motivated and actually win.

Would be great to chat about it on the Linqg blog too if possible. Check it out here subsmith.app/roadmap

@lingosteve I built a “Media Roadmap” to help learners quantify the immersion process (converting FSI hours into Books/TV units) It’s had some great traction on Reddit recently, I’d love to refine the methodology with your input.

@petergyang Definitely! I’ve had to learn to gather relevant context, discuss tradeoffs and ensure the task is clearly outlined - funnily enough I feel the longer I use AI in a day the worse these skills become. It’s like my context window is also full

Is it just me or do you also spend 80% of your time coding doing planning with AI instead? Clear instructions and context management feels like everything.

Hi everyone, seeing as it is the new year. I thought of the idea of an immersion roadmap and calculator for the year. The idea came from seeing some personal finance calculators recently. Here is a link if you want to try: subsmith.app/roadmap

@Brindlec87 Ahh interesting do share your future experiments with formats, always interested in this content

@Ibrahim96Data Honestly I can only think it's to do with the format. The carousel ended with a specific CTA to go to our site. Not sure about the likes situation though!

Some observations from my first two days on Tiktok, using my own SaaS to create the hooks! Around 10000 views on both videos is just unbelievable. I usually get between 200-500 on new accounts! The first post (carousel) drove loads of traffic to my site, whilst getting just 8 likes. The second post (video) got 445 likes but hardly drove traffic to the site. Very interesting experiment!

My year with ChatGPT wasn’t so bad eh Ps need to go back to Lombok!! 🫡
