Norte is live on iOS. For anyone who's ever paid for rental car insurance at the counter and then found out their card already covered it: this is for you. 🧵

@nicklaunches An user posted about an article on how managing credit cards are a part time job, so I used the chance to mention my app there. Perfect post ;) that one alone brought over 40 users. Then I had a few other posts that brought 2 to 10 users.

@JoseInNorte Reddit always gives users 🔥 What was the post or sub that actually broke through for you?

Founders: what's the ONE channel that actually got you your first 100 users? 🔥 Not the channel you wish worked. The one that did. Reply with the channel and one line on how you used it. Best answers go in this week's newsletter.

@honeydreamss 👀 I’ll check that out then!

@JoseInNorte That's exactly what Endorsely can help you with. Endorsely finds your competitors’ partners, their contacts, and drafts outreach emails for you.

Dear founders, I’m starting an affiliate program for Norte and looking for creators in the finance industry to participate. Any tips how to find them?

@honeydreamss I have a platform already set up for this, I just need the creators next ;)

@JoseInNorte Use endorsely.com/?via=join

@thekevinqi @marclou Facts.

@marclou it's also a rich person's game. in order to make it to a point where you can live comfortably, 100k-1M ARR, you might need to invest 100K plus upfront, and take no pay for more than 1-2 years.

Your daily reminder that entrepreneurship is hard. n = 7,174 startups

@SoraiaDev Amaziiiiing! Make the most out of it.

Currently packing for the Uneed residency tomorrow 😱

@SeHozaifa I’ll dig into those!

@JoseInNorte Look into Indie Hackers and specific subreddits like r/personalfinance or r/Financial Independence. For a more curated network of creators, platforms like Biteplay or Modash let you filter finance creators by location and audience size instantly without manual digging.

@JustAsAiCi Which forums though? I have being talking with a few creators on DMs but want access to a larger network. And I don’t want creators from Spain, so networking events here won’t work.

@JoseInNorte Have you considered reaching out in finance communities or forums? Networking events could also help connect with potential creators.

@SeHozaifa Will share the output when I get it working!

@JoseInNorte That's cool! Sounds like a smart way to make quick brand videos. Nice work.

ElevenLabs templates are a game changer for creative production. I spent Saturday setting up a template that turns a product brief into a top-of-funnel brand film. This is how it works ▸ You fill in three questions about your product. ▸ Upload one screen. ▸ Hit generate. The killer feature of the template? I built a creative director base node that transform your input into the perfect brief for the LLMs to do the job. You get a 20-second cinematic film with voiceover, original score, and a product end card. Built on the same creative framework behind Apple's product films and the best SaaS launch campaigns. I'll share the results after I am able to test the whole workflow properly.

@daudtechdev Me neither, I hope I can get some extra credits to test the workflow.

@JoseInNorte This looks insanely useful for quick product launches, can't wait to see the output!

@lukmanAufbau Will report back with results!

@JoseInNorte Three questions to a full brand film is wild.

@emaann28 If it delivers a great output it can be an amazing template for small marketing teams doing product or feature launches.

@JoseInNorte this is actually pretty exciting

@nicklaunches Magic!

@JoseInNorte Gotta try it out too

@TechWithMatteo I have 10+ years of experience leading creative teams. Gotta use the skills.

@JoseInNorte the creative director base node idea is smart, getting the brief right before touching the LLMs is usually where most of the quality actually comes from

@Layton_Gott Meanwhile here I am spending like I am rich >D

I have a full AI agent running locally on my machine with no subscription... That still feels INSANE to say out loud. Here's what I'm building it into: 1. Hermes Agent running Qwen 3.6 27B on my RTX 3090 as the operator. 2. Claude Code wired in as a skill it can call on demand. 3. Codex connected as another skill for separate tasks. 4. The operator runs local and free. It only reaches for Claude Code and Codex when a task actually needs them, like coding. 5. The goal: it picks up the time-consuming daily work I do by hand so I get that time back to market and create content. And this is just the start. Once I wire in connectors it can touch my real tools and run actual workflows end to end. This is now my local brain that runs my entire day and only spends money when it has to. The fact that anyone with the hardware can build this right now is genuinely insane.

@thekevinqi I love doing cardio. Hybrid workouts for the win!

started doing cardio again for the first time in 10 years. ran a 5K in 24 minutes today.

@SoraiaDev I def trust you on that job!

@SeHozaifa That's something worth celebrating!! Nice job.

I just hit 5M+ impressions on X 🔥 3.5M+ came in only 5 days. I tested a few things and the growth went much faster than I expected. Now I'm eligible for monetization too 👀 Many people are asking how I did it, So I'm thinking of writing an article and sharing everything.
