Fan | AI出海范式

@floriandarroman This stings hard. Zero reach hits different, feels like the algorithm’s targeting you. But look at the big picture: 0 → $12K/mo + 50k followers in a year. Slumps aren’t failure, just the price of compounding. Keep grinding! 🔥

There are days like today when I get absolutely no reach. Nothing works. Worst performing video on YouTube. No reach on X. Same on Instagram. Then I take a step back. - about to break $12K/mo with Distribb - 13k followers on Instagram - 11k subscribers on YouTube - 32k on X While I literally started from scratch last year. There will always be down times. That’s exactly when you need to take a step back and see how far you’ve gone. I’m currently editing the next vlog. I know it will take time for it to take of. But I’m already super excited to watch them back in 12 months to remember where I come from.

@crenguodong 谢谢鼓励😆

@MilesShifu 不错👍

这几天做完三件事： 1.在VPS 上搭建 VLESS + Reality + Vision，顺手订阅了土区Codex； 2.激活 Giffgaff 卡，拿到能长期使用的手机号； 3.顺利完成 X Premium+ 认证。 真的是从0开始，这些都是基础设施，但对一个想做 AI 出海的独立开发者来说，这就是上船前的船票。 接下来 90 天，我会在这里直播一件事： 一个人，从 0 做出第一个面向海外的 AI 产品。 关注我，一起看故事怎么发展。

@levelsio A friend of mine with over $10k MRR told me indie devs will hit a ceiling if they don’t understand code. As a total newbie, I’m learning basics like NextJS. It’ll come in handy for architecture work and code reviews.

In the future writing actual code will be like using a pro DSLR camera, and no code will be like using a smartphone camera Some pros will keep doing work with DSLRs (and need them), but most basic apps will be built with no code. Just like most photos now are shot on a phone

@iamfra5er I run an e-commerce business with $6k MRR, still running. Just starting out in indie dev — no launches yet. haha. I see a lot of similarities between finding dev ideas and product sourcing.

@MilesShifu what are you working on?

THIS GUY BUILT A $80K/MO SAAS BY SOLVING A PROBLEM HE KEPT HAVING OVER AND OVER Miki was building startups and every time he needed to post to social media he had to deal with 13+ different OAuth flows, rate limits, and API changes each integration took weeks so he built Late - one API that replaces all of them developers can now post to Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and 10+ other platforms with a single endpoint the MVP was brutally simple: no dashboard, no analytics, just POST /posts and GET /accounts because developers don't want drag-and-drop interfaces, they want to write code launched on AppSumo, then started writing technical tutorials and integration guides one hour a week posting on dev.to and Reddit with working code examples CAC is $150 per customer from organic search alone the "oh shit" moment came when Instagram changed their API with no warning and he lost 30% of users in one week almost quit but the unfair advantage is this: platforms change APIs constantly and maintaining 13+ integrations is a full-time job developers will pay for reliability over "free" integrations that break every month now at $80K/mo, 30% margins, built with $500

@sohamehta_ I run an e-commerce business with $6k MRR, still running. Just starting out in indie dev — no launches yet. haha.

@MilesShifu Sure thing! What are you working on?

Looking to connect with people on X! If you’re into Tech, AI, Startups, Design, web dev, SaaS, or programming. Say HI Will follow back!

@seraleev The most controllable edge in startups is not predicting the ceiling. It’s showing up every day, compounding the right actions, and letting execution expand what you believe is possible. Most ceilings are not market limits. They’re just the limits of your current operating level.

Many of our limits exist only in our heads. When I started as a solo founder, I thought hitting $3K/month would be fantastic. I hit $32K in 8 months. Then $100K/month felt like it required something extraordinary. Crossed that too. Now I keep thinking about $1M/month. Still feels like fantasy, but I’ve broken through enough of these lines to know this one is next.

@DaKSH18_ I'm just starting out too, let's connect.

Hi 👋, I'm 19 year old building in public. If you're in tech, let's connect 🤝

No need to wait two years—AI’s coding ability has already surpassed 90% of people. I’m currently offloading low-value repetitive tasks to AI (already handling over 50%), and focusing my energy on strategic judgment, product architecture, and overseas user validation. Independent developers working on AI for global markets should be like nomads, actively migrating to fertile lands instead of waiting for the winter. Welcome to my next 90-day public retrospective: building an AI product for overseas markets from scratch as a solo founder.

What’s your backup plan if Artificial Intelligence writes better code than you in 2 years?

@muiz_rexhepi Congrats! I'm just starting out too.Let's connect!

crossed 600 followers today was around 300 not long ago been posting more consistently about building apps/saas/ui lately and the growth has been kinda wild always down to connect with more builders 🤝

@JulieLabs8 You're progressing so fast! I've only just solved my Premium+ certification issue 🤣 I'm learning from you.

day 15 of building my saas portfolio in public one good news and one bad news bad: 5h chasing an ffmpeg segfault. section downloads crash, stuck on the 16 min fallback. won't ship tweetclip on a 16 min UX. slipping a few days good: 515 new followers in four days. ok maybe followers do matter at zero MRR 😂 tweetclip ships this week. hopefully tmr.

@iluciddreaming 刚开通的Premium+，准备试一手😻

Hermes 和 X SuperGrok 来了！不玩 Openclaw 了。

@marclou the main reason for startup failure wasn't "doing something wrong," but rather "exiting before doing things right." Most people failed before the 90th day.

But if you don't give up, it pays back. (data from TrustMRR.com/stats)

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

Marc Lou 是我关注和学习的第一位独立开发者，他统计了7174家创业公司，月入一万美元的比例不超过20% 。 但接下来给的数据很有意思：创业失败的主要原因不是"做错了什么"，而是"还没来得及做对就退场了"​。大多数人倒在了第 90 天之前。

@vpsing_de 我是按vless+reality+vision搭建的，搬瓦工的VPS确实稳，除了贵没其他毛病。 问个问题，按你的方法开加速的话，网速是不是可以稳定到140-150？

@GoSailGlobal 玩 X 一个月，最大的成长就是取关掉那几个天天互转的简中圈搬运工🙄，推流瞬间清爽很多。

黄小木和生财这个社群 一个敢搬，一个敢转发 但截止到现在，他们都没对他们做的事感到抱歉，连说一声都没有 情侣分手最多的理由的是三观不合，我想可能你的关注博主和社群也是 8月花了2000多加入生财，9月给他们带航海认识挺多朋友、带出挺多朋友（拿到一个碎片，1000左右吧），10月去花钱线下办公，认识了很多线下朋友，有些朋友还是挺好的，后面不会再续费！ 妄图理解别人的价值观是愚蠢的，最简单的办法是远离！

@dragosroua So cute. May I ask which Japanese AI model seedance 2.0 copied, and which application did Cursor's Composer 2.5 copy?

Given the Chinese approach to markets, I suspect this was legit invented in Japan, then silently copied in China.

最近看了很多文章，得到一个大佬们的共识：做产品先锚定原生需求。 文科生入局AI出海，未必要亲手敲代码，但要想走得远、突破上限，理解代码逻辑终究是绕不开的必修课。
