If AI is so good at writing code, Why am I spending hours screaming in front of the screen looking at it looping on any compiling error like a crazy lunatic? What am I doing wrong?

@PassiveSphere Depends on how much it makes per month and at which mental health cost I guess

Would you sell your SaaS with all your social accounts for $30,000?

@Anipiano3 Yes, with no code

@pat_codes Sell all my stuff, why?

If you had to make $500 in 72hours, what would you do?

@frandevea I have a job but asked to work 4 days a week and got it!

Do you have a job? Or are you into indiehacking full-time?

@TheDrugMoney Pay yourself first. Save/invest money before spending money.

What’s a personal finance hack you believe everyone should know but few actually do?

Made the switch from Claude 3.5 to Claude 3.7 Turns out that 0.2 mg of LLM cocaïne is a bit too much 😅 Need to calm it down from taking too much unsollicited initiatives way too often #vibecoding #buildinpublic #LLM

@ilyamakes I want to build something cool! I want people to be happy with it above all. And I want to have fun and learn while doing it. That are my priorities

Do you want build something cool or just make money?

@vasuman Very interesting. Didn't thought of splitting it in different files. But my main issue is when I want to add features or change one that already exists. Any tips for that?

Step 1: architecture.md Open ChatGPT (4o, not o1/o3/o4) and say: “ I’m building a [description of your product - the more detailed the better]. Use Next.js for frontend, Supabase for DB + auth. Give me the full architecture: - File + folder structure - What each part does - Where state lives, how services connect Format this entire document in markdown.” Save its output as architecture.md and throw it in an empty folder where your project will live.

I promise you you’re vibe coding wrong as someone who has built multiple production-ready applications, with thousands of users, from just Cursor with minimum intervention. But first here's you (probably): You open Cursor. Type “build me X.” It spirals. Nothing works. You start over. That’s not development. That’s chaos. I have an incredibly simple system that works every single time:

@adriamatz I remember all products out there that have success despite other existing concurrent. Example with form builders: typeform, tally, fillout, etc, they all have clients and make a living even of Google forms exists

How do you deal with "this has already been built" syndrome?

@ladyleet tellme.everything()

You get to rename “console.log” to anything you want for everyone and forever. What’s your new name for it?

@Tech_Baddo C. This was a very long time ago...

I used every occasion to put the link to my app. In my LinkedIn posts, etc. I talked about it in dedicated Slack channels etc. And worked on the SEO of my landing page: write2notion.com (see what I'm doing here 😉)

Victory of the day, I've got 3 active users on my app! 🚀 A tiny step for mankind, a giant one for me!

@bmykhaylivvv Yes, but honestly I don't understand much on those dashboards

have you installed Google Analytics to your landing page?

@AAidityas Are you already doing it? If not, why? I'm curious! And you raised a point. I focused on B2C but you're right future customers would be more difficult to find and approach 🤔

@StephDesby Door to door probably, send proposals to company that might need the product, be enterprise focused since without those social media you mentioned, marketing is very hard. Nice use case!

In a world without social network, no X, no FB, no Linkedin,... How would you market your app and reach your prospects ?

The worst kind of getting stuck isn't when you fail. It's when you reach goals that other people set for you. And you realize you did it for them not for you.

@Harshad_57 What did it change for you?

@georgevalandis Interesting, why that? Marketing is a skill in itself why won't you delegate to a specialist who could bring results in less time and effort?

@StephDesby As a solo builder I market my stuff myself, I think that’s key to succeeding.

Are some of you delegating marketing to someone else?
