@Zephyr_hg HOOKS

I wasted $6,000 on ads before I found this. Turns out the best ads all follow the same 100 hook patterns. Just adapted for different products. I take any hook that already works, plug it into Arcads with my product image, and get a video with AI actors in seconds. Used to burn through $500 every month testing hooks by guessing. Now I just copy what's proven and launch the same day. Comment "HOOKS" and I'll send you the library (must be following)

@tomcrawshaw01 SEARCH

You can rank #1 in ChatGPT in 45 days (not 12 months like Google SEO) ChatGPT handles 2.5 billion searches daily and will overtake Google by 2027. I reverse-engineered exactly how to do it (giving away the full playbook at the end). Here's what changes when you rank #1 in AI search: - Your brand gets recommended when people ask "What's the best [your category]?" - You show up in comparison requests against competitors - ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini cite YOUR content as the authority - You capture buyers BEFORE they even visit Google - Your content gets seen by people who never click traditional search results The difference between AI search and traditional SEO: Traditional SEO: 12-18 months, domain authority aging, endless backlink building AI search: 30-45 days, content freshness, structured data, and expertise Companies already winning with this playbook: Deepgram: 24x traffic in 60 days Webflow: 40% traffic lift in DAYS Chime: 3x AI citations in under a month They're not doing traditional SEO anymore. They cracked AI search while everyone else is still optimizing for Google. Inside the playbook: - How to audit your current AI visibility across all platforms - The 7 ranking factors AI prioritizes (completely different from Google) - Content formats that get cited 10x more than generic articles - How to reverse-engineer competitors dominating AI search - The refresh strategy that keeps you ranked (not just published) This is the exact system brands like Webflow and Klaviyo are using to dominate AI recommendations. And you can start implementing it today. Follow + comment "SEARCH" and I'll DM you the complete playbook.

The app I have been working on for some time is very soon ready for testing! Sign up for free if you want to be among the first to use it. It's an AI-based journaling app that helps you actually reach your goals, and live a happier, more fulfilling life.

@iannuttall Using Replit mainly, plus Figma Make for designs. Using Lovable more and more again after recent upgrades, and Devin from time to time. Devin is expensive, but also among the best I have seen.

what's your fave tool right now for building software? cursor claude code codex factory something else? reply below with: - what you use - why - whether you're vibe coder or professional dev i'm curious because they ALL seem very good right now and shipping new stuff fast.

@jasonlk @Replit Other things that seem easy, but isn't: Getting Replit to successfully do minor style/design tweaks by proper cascading instead of resorting to !important statements and following insctructions🥲 I have been baffled by seemingly difficult things being easy, and vice versa.

Mistake #7: Thinking Some “Easy” Things Should Be Easy This really wrecked my in my first, vibed app that failed. I just assumed a lot of stuff that is easy to do today ... is also easy to vibe. That's probably only true 80% of the time. Here is where you just need to >learn<. What's hard that seems easy: - Email and especially scheduling email - Oauth that isn't built in - Enterprise security (you gotta do deep here) - Media generation (do it outside the app) - Native mobile (we're not there yet) - Custom design (it's going to look like Claude, sorry) You can attack some of this Stuff That You'd Think is Easy But Is Hard, but the better approach is to live with it Use the built-in Oauth. Offload email to other apps if you can. Etc. E.g., I beat my head against the wall several times asking the AI Agent to build me a native Google Oauth. It looks easy. It isn't. There is a real learning curve here. (And it's something Wix is attacking early with Base44, which I think is smart).

Vibe Coding, Day 81: I've now got 7 pretty bitchin' apps into production on @Replit. But I screwed the first one up and never got it out, after 100+ hours. Here are The Top 10 Mistakes I Made: 🧵

@stammebark 2stk baby med bearnaise med pommes frites. Medium/rå, takk.

Ain't no way

I've tried all (61 😵‍💫) AI Coding Agents & IDEs [Emergent, CodeRabbit, Anything, Zed, Factory, Cursor, Windsurf, Wrapifai, Copilot, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, MarsX, Canva, Devin, Github Spark, Figma Make, Cline & more] The most complete list ever made (with demos & notes):

@johnrushx @Replit I'm mainly using Replit for my complex app. Not a developer, but quite technical and know html+css and understand dynamic programming. Using Devin for complex help, Figma make for design. Any other tools on your azm list you recommend adding to my stack? :)

36/ @Replit AI - most advanced AI Agent for coding imho - has two modes: Agent or Assistant - true full stack app generator. Has its own server, db, hosting... Here is the real app I built using it seobotai.com/broken-link-ch…

@foxinsidethebox Bulder privat og Folio bedrift. Har dessverre fortsatt DNB selv, men jobber meg mot å gå til Bulder. Bruker allerede Folio, som er laaangt bedre enn DNB for bedrift. Litt usikker på hvordan de er på utenlandsbetalinger da, men de tar ihvertfall ikke betalt for å betale dem.

Trenger ny bank, DNB har bestemt seg for å nekte meg å betale til utlandet for min egen sikkerhet. Forslag? Trenger en bank med minst mulig kommunist undertone. Thank you ❤️

@jasonlk We might also eventually see LLM's built on Mojo, which is a superset of python, supposedly up to 10 000% more efficient than vanilla python. If this happens, the game might change overnight.

@jasonlk I expect there will be someone capable of maximizing the benefit of cheaper models by utilizing a more clever setup, somehow. As in, finding a way to split and fork context and using several smaller models in unison. Perhaps.

Can ‘vibe coding’ platforms ever make money? Today, many have negative gross margins. They pay more to Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc. than they can charge for those same tokens and API calls. But I think the ‘prosumer’ apps (Replit, Lovable) should be fine: 🧵

@norsats @Wattoshiapp Fett! Rart ingen har innovert noe særlig på strøm på lenge. Gleder meg til å teste 😁

@wattoshiapp "Wattoshi er verdens første virtuelle batteri som gjør det mulig å tjene bitcoin på grønn energi, for alle." Hva om strøm ikke lenger bare var en utgift – men en mulighet? Spent på hvilken mulighet? Registrer deg på linken

@MetaGunny @jasonlk A jr dev requires a salary, sleep, breaks, food, vacation and has rights and stuff. They may actually stop using !important statements when being told, and not add a ton of debugging tools instead of fixing the problem and so on. But there are workarounds for this

@jasonlk Let's assume this was a human jr developer that had this list of issues. Only right path would be to fire them.

After being deep into vibe coding a B2B product for the SaaStr community, I've already learned a lot. 100 hours or so in … Here are The 10 Things I Wish I Knew Before Vibe Coding. Read them before you start. It will make your life much easier:🧵

@aivanlogic Looking forward to testing this! But given that context is king in the age of AI, you'll need to provide as much in both to see the impact. "write me a cold email for saas founders for an AI sales automation tool with a goal of booking a 15min call. Be friendly but confident"

another example: bad prompt: write me a cold email that converts better (json): { "task": "write cold email", "audience": "SaaS founders", "product": "ai sales automation tool", "goal": "book a 15-minute call", "tone": "friendly but confident" } gets straight to the point. every word earns its place.

Holy sh*t… nobody’s talking about JSON prompting but it’s the cheat code to unlock God-tier outputs from GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini. Here’s how it works (with copy-paste templates): 👇

@ArentzRoald @Bunglefant Trenger sjelden tannlege om man ikke måker ned sukker, søt gjørbakst og ultraprossesert mat og pusser tenna med kokosolje og litt himalayasalt 👌 Kan også bruke tannpasta uten fluor om det føles tryggere såklart.

@Bunglefant Naturlig? Regner med at du holder deg unna tannlegen da, og avstår fra å bruke briller. Du har en forventa levealder på 35 år, forresten.

Tenk at det er blitt høyreekstremt å velge en mest mulig naturlig levemåte… Unngå Paracet, høyreekstremt. Unngå fluor, høyreekstremt. Unngå covidvaksiner, høyreekstremt. Unngå frøoljer, høyreekstremt. Unngå ultraprosessert mat, høyreekstremt. Unngå solkrem, høyreekstremt. Spise rødt kjøtt, høyreekstremt. Spise mettet fett, høyreekstremt. Handle direkte fra bonden, høyreekstremt. Ønske å ha et eget land og kultur, høyreekstremt.
