Tech With Matteo

@DevKokooo yeah i tried to make a demo video for geocam and honestly making a short clip that actually shows the value is way harder than building the feature itself.

I built Momentum because I hated the feeling of guilt and shame for breaking a streak in so many productivity apps. Life is not a perfect routine every day, so I decided to track overall progress instead. Each task completed gains 1 momentum, and each ongoing task has potential to be converted into momentum. All the data is stored locally. You can export and import the data on a different device if you wish. momentum.forgeware.dev

@_deep_star @scaler_official 922 days and still going strong is wild, that kind of consistency is basically a whole project in itself.

Hello All, I completed #Day922 of #365DaysofCode Challenge with @scaler_official Question: Minimum Total Cost to Process All Elements discord link: bit.ly/ScalerDiscord #letsconnect #potd #scalerdiscordcommunity #codewithscaler #365daysofcodescaler #365DaysofCode

@founder_sohan 500 is such a good feeling when it finally hits, you got this so close now.

Need 7 more followers to hit 500 :D Just a few days ago I started my journey ^_~ Slowly but progressively. ^_^ Thanks to all who supported me till this day. I am really grateful to this wonderful community. ;D

@JacobCounsell yeah honestly true, i spent months treating design like an afterthought until i noticed people bounced right at the paywall screen, turns out that ugly moment was killing trust way more than any bug ever did.

Design is only a bad thing when you refuse to learn the business side because you think it's beneath you. You are always designing trust, clarity, conversion, and perception. If you don't like thinking about outcomes, you are probably designing for yourself every single day.

@ayazdotdev this is so true, even a small reason behind a discount makes people trust it more instead of wondering if the product is failing.

Founders: Never run an offer without a reason. “50% off” makes people think something’s wrong with it. “50% off because we hit 1,000 users” makes it a celebration. Same discount. the because does all the selling. So never run a discount without a reason.

@GoldilocksOrbit honestly saw this myself, i was stuck at 700 followers for weeks then just kept posting what i actually build every day and it started moving again on its own.

the founders who build in public and then ghost for three weeks kill their own momentum. consistency isn't about posting every day, it's about not disappearing when the work gets hard. people follow the pattern, not the volume.

@Anas_founder claude code is the one for me, it basically lets me ship features solo on geocam that would take a whole team otherwise so it pays for itself easy.

Founders, Which AI tool has made you the most money so far? -Claude -Cursor -Codex

@omarvvvr honestly i regret putting the whole geofencing feature behind a paywall on my app, barely anyone tried it before paying so i finally made it free for one device and activations went way up.

Devs, what's one feature you regret building?

@thesavasx glad im not the only one who had to learn it the hard way haha

@TechWithMatteo I'm sure man! Exactly how it was for me too haha

The 3 most harmful habits for creators: - Perfectionism - Cheap dopamine - Learning without action Imperfect, uncomfortable and rapid action is the way.

@Olivia0945 i learned this the hard way with geocam, waiting instead of jumping on every review saved me from breaking stuff that was actually fine.

Just because you can react doesn't mean you should. Self-control prevents unnecessary problems. A calm response is often the strongest one. Choose wisdom over impulse. Restraint is strength.

@Luca_Ramassa yeah i noticed the same thing, followers only started moving once i kept posting what i was actually building every day instead of staying quiet about it.

People think communities fail because nobody joins. I think they fail because nobody posts first.

@SourabhGurwani i moved server side scheduling for one of my projects because on device jobs kept silently skipping and this CDN breakdown makes me think a lot of my problems were basically edge caching in disguise.

System Design From Scratch — Day 8 CDN (Content Delivery Network) 1. Why? Users are worldwide. Fetching every image/video from one server = Slow. 2. Simple Explanation A CDN stores copies of your static files across the globe. Users download content from the nearest server, not the original one. 3. Real-World Example When you watch videos on Netflix or YouTube, most content comes from a nearby CDN—not the main server. 4. Architecture User ↓ CDN ↓ Origin Server 5. Key Takeaways ✅ Faster loading ✅ Lower latency ✅ Less load on origin server ✅ Better global performance 6. Question Why should a user in Japan fetch an image from the US when there's a copy nearby?

@RamanRjha4647 @X honestly building side projects at night feels less like a hobby and more like i just cant stop tinkering once something finally works

Hey X algorithm, looking forward to connect active people on @X If you're into - Full stack development - Freelancing - SaaS - Tech - System Design & DSA - GenAI - build in public Let's grow together & drop what you're working on 🤝🚀

@nicklaunches right now i am building a health coach app that runs fully on device with a small AI model so none of your health data ever leaves the phone.

What are you building right now? Drop it below, one line, and let's connect 👋 I reply to everyone.

@ammar_nassri weekends off is smart honestly, i learned the hard way that non stop building just burns you out and the ideas get worse not better.

I usually take the weekends off from building to enjoy family time. Meanwhile, I'd like to connect with more people building cool apps/saas. I've met some cool people and I'd like to meet more. Let's see if I can cross 500 by end of the day.

@CesareDadamo fixed a nasty bug where free users on geocam never got their geofence registered so the auto arm disarm just silently never fired, felt so good to finally squash that one.

what did you ship this week? tiny counts. a bugfix counts. an email to one user counts. drop it below, i want to end the week reading wins.

@foxtomb232 i would take the 10M ARR honestly, cause with a small solo project i rather have less users paying me well than a huge crowd paying nothing.

be honest would you rather have: - 10M users - $10M ARR

@CiprianiRanieri Hi, solo builder here juggling GeoCam, a wheel of fortune game and an on device health coach, always fun to swap notes with other indie hackers.

3500 followers is the next goal! looking to connect with: start ups founders, indie hackers, Ai enthusiasts, curious minds. If you are one of them, say hi!

@Guronnimo haha true, gotta keep pushing even when everyone else is at the beach.

@TechWithMatteo The real die hards keep going :)

Let's see if we can hit 2,100 followers soon, even with the summer slowdown 🚀 Always happy to connect with more builders and founders Let's keep growing together! 🤝

@mac_dev9 yeah exactly, every old bug i reread teaches me something i totally missed the first time around.

@TechWithMatteo Reading old bugs is underrated. It teaches patterns that writing new code alone never will.

Hot take: The best frontend developers spend more time reading code than writing it.
