@jacobrodri_ What is the business model?

This alarm app forces you to complete a mission to turn it off and just hit $200K MRR in only 3 months They’re going insanely viral on tiktok with this format:

@Gavel_on_X Just start and be consistent, you will find your way to success

Stop waiting for the perfect moment. You’ll wake up old one day wondering why you never started.

@elonmusk In X we trust

To give people confidence that we are not secretly manipulating the 𝕏 recommendations, it is critical that we open source anything that influences what people are shown

@miguelgbandeira What are you building?

this is true portugal is cheap and entrepreneurship is rare here, sometimes even looked down on because of this i catch myself getting too comfortable and losing my drive to push harder

@KevinSzabo14 I post daily to build a community 😁

Posting daily isn’t just for finding new clients. It’s for keeping your current ones. When current and past clients see you dropping value on their feed every day, they think: • I made the right choice • Look at what they know • I’m getting access to his brain But in truth: you just have to keep your current ones.

@KevinSzabo14 Exactly! Customers are not paying you, they are paying for your solution to their problems

Irrelevant things for your sales pitch: - You - Your product - Your company Relevant things for your pitch: - How you can help them - What your product can do for them - What your company will do for them Forget about you, make it about them.

@YashHustle_22 For me it would be support and culture since I know how to scale product.

What's the hardest thing to scale? - Product - Support - Culture

@dmitryboldyrev1 Hey Dmitry! Thanks for reaching out 😁 Right now I am just in idea phase. I have claude code to do the code, I just review all of it (except FE that I as a friend of mine to review if needed). For now I don't have the need for a team, nor the budget.

@komalsiddharth_ For sure it is... You must have a lot of discipline to be able to focus

Focus is a superpower in a world of distractions.

@KevinSzabo14 When did you started to monetise your audience?

"Building an audience takes too long” Okay fair. But it's a lifelong asset that'll make you millions. The time will pass no matter what. So I'll take my time with it.

5 patterns shaping AI agent API integration: pull-based polling, webhooks, pass-through vs sync-and-cache, retrieval vs execution, integration layer abstraction. Agents want the right pattern for each context.

CLAUDE .md is the most important file in Claude. This is exactly how Boris Cherny sets his up: - CLAUDE .md is one text file. - It sits in your project folder. - Claude reads it before every reply. Without one, Claude has no idea who you are. Boris's version is the infographic below. Save it as your starting template. 3 steps to install yours: 1. Create the CLAUDE .md file. 2. Paste in Boris's rules from below. 3. Tell Claude to update it as you work. It builds itself from there. This is 1 of 6 features you need in Claude Code. The other 5 are in this week's newsletter. You also get Boris's CLAUDE.md to copy-paste. Free to read charliehills.substack.com/p/claude-code-… Repost ♻️ to help someone in your network. P.S. Have you set up a CLAUDE .md yet?

AI Overviews appear on 18% of queries. 57% for long-tail high-intent searches. Nearly half of Google searches end without a click. When traditional links disappear, structured data becomes your retention mechanism.

API docs as reference-only get buried. API docs as discoverability infrastructure get cited. What works: answer-first structure, topical authority clusters, long-tail error codes, server-side rendering.

@StevBuilds Facts!

If you don't quit, you might make it. And if you quit, you definitely won't.

@sflorimm We are already connected, just passing by to say hello! 👋

If you simply enjoy to build amazing projects, let's connect.

@komalsiddharth_ Yeah, that's why I always start by learning what I'm selling. But many people say to just sell and them learn. Don't know wich one is the correct one

Master the craft, and the trophies will chase you. Chase the trophies, and the craft will elude you.

@DanielSmidstrup The most important part is that you have control over all your business

One-person businesses are the future. You improve yourself. You improve the business. You improve the lives of others. Then the business improves your life. The ultimate combination of entrepreneurship and self-improvement.

@yashhq_22 Never ship, but once I do it will be fast for sure 🛳️

as a solo founder, which one do you do? - ship fast, fix later - perfect it, ship never
