@andrii_rom @HsanC_ @levelsio Thats a good point actually. But if you can get some fly wheel going for every 10 dollars you spend, you make 30 or 40...I would pour money in all day long. Lol

I tried Google Ads and it did not work out. Burns money like crazy, and conversions were not worth it. If you really want to experiment maybe try some cheaper regions like NZ or Ireland first @levelsio also wrote about it in his book that it just burns money and get you dependant on ads

Do you think I should run Google Ads for my SaaS? 🤔 It's at ~$1k MRR 💰 I know some competitors doing this succcessfully. Just not sure if it would work with a low budget.

@marclou Hard to beat! I only started using supabase a month ago and wow. Also next js is so easy and stripe keeps you safe in terms of tax and the webhooks and documentation are great! We can' complain these days...life is good in the tech stack world! :) Nice chart.

Founders who build profitable startups use NextJS + TailwindCSS + PostgreSQL n=200

@jackfriks It is the best at the moment. Great speed of developing new components for it as well. Start creating some skills for quality control of your building process and folder architecture. So good. And I think people generally underuse the planning mode...as they just start building.

switching from codex to claude code is like being able to see colour for the first time in your life

@emanueledpt What is it?

I’ve been having a bug since 9pm it’s now 3:40am Claude credits are done Codex can’t fully solve it Gemini is even worse I’m fucked

@levelsio Great post

how to build a bootstrapped startup without funding: 1. pick a problem you personally have. if you don't use your own product daily, quit now 2. skip the pitch deck. open your code editor. ship something ugly in a weekend 3. charge money from day 1. free users give you nothing but support tickets 4. use boring tech. PHP, SQLite, vanilla JS. frameworks are a trap that mass waste your time 5. host on cheap VPS ($5-20/mo). not AWS. you don't need kubernetes for 1,000 users 6. do customer support yourself. it's the fastest product feedback loop that exists 7. automate everything you do more than twice. cron jobs > employees. 8. grow on Twitter/X by building in public. your journey IS the marketing 9. keep your burn rate near zero so you never need to raise. ramen profitable > series A 10. say no to investors, cofounders, and "advisors" who want equity for intros i've been doing this for 10+ years now. no employees, no funding, no board meetings the entire VC game is designed to make you think you need permission to start you don't

@ugo_builds Congratuoations Ugo!

@PabloSantanaT Be careful :) . But is a great case for more agents in our lives

I haven't tried OpenClaw yet, and I fear I might actually be missing out. Can anyone convince me to try it with examples of actual things they have automated successfully?

@om_patel5 Lol

vibe coders, check if your private key has been leaked with this tool

@ugo_builds @mdnlabs Lol. Work got very busy this year so less side projects!

@Vibecodeswork @mdnlabs 😱 he lives! Thanks Sam

Gm guys. Are you building or resting this Saturday? 🤔 (I'm 1 week away from launch 🫣)

@ugo_builds @mdnlabs Great idea, Ugo!

@mdnlabs Hey! Launched Adventory Ads today 🤗 It's an indie/dev ad network, and we currently have a few spots left to become an early publisher! adventory.to/ads

@Tobby_scraper vibecodes.work helping beginner coders learn ai centric engineering quicker.

GM Guys. Saturday ritual Share your link! 💡

A new post on vibecoding projects and making it easier for you to integrate with actual engineering teams! Also, about priming your Claude sessions with 'principles and layout information' with a /command so you build wide, instead of long files. vibecodes.work/blog/vibecodin…

@CodeByNZ Backwards treadmill from @atgexercise . I literally have a similar space. Lol

How do i use this space 🤷 ?

@ShikharYad64849 Not sure which api you mean exactly but AI api calls usually feel extremely cheap to me as well for the amount of value that we get out of them. One big thing for me was using the cheaper models when possible if there are multiple sub tasks within a bigger task.

@Vibecodeswork I can feel bro api calls looks to be expensive but when used it feels cheap

Created a small introduction to getting started with AI api calls. What used to put me off even trying AI API calls in apps is what I thought would be the large cost; It is way cheaper than you would imagine. Try it out and iterate! vibecodes.work/blog/automate-…

A quick starter post about parallel processing versus loops that really sped up a lot of my work with data in applications over the last two years. vibecodes.work/blog/python-pa…

@madsmadsdk Lol you got me as well...I was reading through :"what a terrible idea" lol. Nicely done

I made ~$5200 last month. Because I have a job. Which I’m about to quit, to make a terminal based community. > No backup plans or savings > Just me, a semi-broken MacBook (which I’m postponing to hand back to my employer) > A mortgage and 4 mouths to feed > Hopes, dreams and fuck off really… I’m a responsible person, I’d never do that. But I’m still making cool af stuff, and if you haven’t claimed your handle on root-dir(.)com yet, you’re missing out 😬 Closed beta is dropping this week. To waitlisted users only 🤫

@dev_11217 Foot massager lol

what more should I add to my setup?

@chrissyinspace @tinylaunch @tinytab_ Whixh one did you think wouod do best before you built it? And which surprised you the most? Great job man! :)

I made $10,339 in November 2025 (+152%) 🚀 @tinylaunch — $8,898.00 (+234%) 🧾 @tinytab_ — $0.00 🖼️ ProductLab — $0.00 🪭 ZenDone — $0.00 🪐 RenderLab — $0.00 🏃‍♂️ DontWaitList — $0.00 👾 EnigmaBot — $0.00 💼 Freelance — $1,441.00 (+0.4%) Goal was $4,001 for TinyLaunch, 2x'd 🤠

@iamfra5er Arctic circle. Lol

Name a worse place to build a startup than this area I highly doubt you can

@bhatdaalchokha Whats the error? I would say if you think the code is correct, it's more than likely the api call, or if you are trying to scrape x before posting you are probably getting rate limited? Do lots of console outputs along the way in your code. Also start simple version first.

@Vibecodeswork any help with why my app keeps throwing c++ exception when trying to create an agent to auto post on X
