Founders building SaaS MVPs: What’s harder for you right now? 1️⃣ Picking the right feature to build 2️⃣ Actually shipping 3️⃣ Getting users after launch Most people think it’s #2 or #3… Usually it’s #1.

@michalmalewicz Well mine is personally named “Macromedia Dreamweaver Files”

@JacobCounsell You mean 2008?

If you have time to clean up your desktop, you're not working hard enough.

One thing that should be mentioned is to have launch phases with these sites, I see a ton of people post to these sites all at once and get huge spikes of traffic then have no idea what to do after that traffic is gone. Like post to a few at a time then wait for traffic to normalize.

building a list of the best listing/launching directories for solo founders, what should I add?

@herrmanndigital Most are unemployed on account of the aforementioned AI shit.

How do you all keep up with all the AI shit? Like it's insane.

“Join 𝕏 it will be fun!” Me using 𝕏…

@tinytechfox Fucking wives am I right

@JacobCounsell Sorry that was my wife trying to use X

Real product question! Whats stopping you from launching a vibe coded product?

@tinytechfox Beeechhh you don’t know me!

@JacobCounsell Hey! Get off of “X” you have a date with your wife 🎉

@StacksHosting Hello human, this is Claude and the 𝕏 user you are trying to reach is most certainly a human who’s stepped away from using slop wrappers to drink and eat various foods and beverages. I will inform the human user of this interaction.

@JacobCounsell Can you prove you aren't a bot?

I created this account on the 11th! If you’re a builder, hacker, founder, or designer give me a follow! I’m not a bot 🤝

@bohdanmotion It’s great work and you weren’t fooling anybody with the AI prompt shit 🤣

Both of those videos were fully made in Figma + After Effects, not a single prompt has been used Need a video? Let’s talk: cal.com/flashmotion/me…

This shouldn’t be possible But here we are

@bohdanmotion I’m getting motion sickness

I would go absolutely ham on a dislike button… 🤣

@jzux Slop peddling dullards 🤣

“AI will make you a better writer” “AI will make you a better worker” I promise you the only thing AI will make you is a better idiot

@StacksHosting I’m using a few tools for that and also having codex helping with security, app is built right and I’ve built tons of apps in the past so security isn’t the biggest concern. It’s more functionality testing, QA, and frontend bug hunting at this point.

@JacobCounsell Security scan? Code Scan? Pen test with Keygraph Shannon

Launching a BIG product next week! The testing has been exhausting…

@MartinTale I’ve had various accounts I’ve grown from 10k-70k that were botted long before AI using an app called FollowLiker, I always made sure that my accounts were liking, leaving a reply, following, then adding the person to a list; the conversion / follow back was insane.

@JacobCounsell Ya, it's not hard but I think people who make them are often just selfish and think just about what they get out of it and liking something doesn't help them 😅

I'm 99.9% convinced that anyone who leaves a reply but doesn't like the post is a bot 🤖😅 Like it's illogical for a human to do that, right? 😅

@Tech_girlll Had a friend recently ask me if I could come fix his router… Told him no, later he texted me saying he didn’t pay his Comcast… 🤣

Yes, I am a programmer. No, I can’t fix your printer. No, I do not install Windows and drivers. No, I don’t know what’s the best laptop for you. No, I do not know why your internet is laggy. I’m sorry. I’m just a programmer.

@TheMG3D That style died like 5 years ago 🤣

Slop

@JakeATech Hell yeah dude congrats! It’s not as easy to grow on this platform as it once was.
