Last week nearly destroyed me:
- got banned
- payout paused
- account suspended
- I was ready to walk away
Took a deep breath and got to work:
- grinded hard & held myself together for 3 days
- fixed my account
- started pushing harder than before
- stats started climbing
- momentum is back
Thanks to all for this incredible support 🙏

@rezoundous funding validates your pitch deck. talking to users validates your idea. different things.
English
@JoseInNorte same approach. my AI agents propose, I review, nothing ships without approval. built a social listening agent that drafts replies but sends them to Telegram first.
English
I spent today building my first AI system
with guardrails.
Not vibe coding. A system where AI proposes.
I approve. Nothing touches production without me.
What I built:
→ A skill that audits my credit card database
→ Catches bad data, wrong formats, missing fields
→ Outputs SQL I review before anything runs
First real test flagged one actual issue:
the skill was pulling US sources for a Spanish card.
Fixed. Added to the guardrails. Won't happen again.
Everyone asks "can AI do it."
Nobody asks "can you trust what it did."
Day 1 of The Creative Builder Stack.

@s_chiriac this explains why every founder with 10K followers is still under $1K MRR.

Want followers?
→ Build for indie hackers
Want money?
→ Build for businesses

Les histoires de SaaS avec les associés qui se foutent sur la gueule
Je les comprends mieux car c'est en train de m'arriver
J'ai le problème sur un de mes SaaS, j'ai beau formulé la chose dans absolument tous les sens
Mon associé ne comprends pas
(Ou fait mine de ne pas comprendre mdr)
Y'a des gens qui sont associés ici et qui ont vécu la même chose ?
Ne pas être d'accord sur des décisions fondamentales
Ne pas être d'accord sur la vision
Ne pas être d'accord sur le produit
Est ce qu'il y a une méthode pour se mettre d'accord ?
Ou est ce qu'il vaut mieux casser le plus rapidement possible ?
Car là ça devient récurrent donc je me demande franchement si je devrais pas laisser tomber le projet
Tant pis si j'ai perdu des mois et de l'argent dessus
Pour me consacrer à un nouveau projet
Cette fois sans associé ni co founder
Et juste faire les choses moi même et déléguer à des freelances quand c'est nécessaire
Mais sans avoir un associé
Preneur de tous avis pertinents les gars 🙏

@tibo_maker industries that grow because the problem gets worse, not better. that's worth sitting with.
English
burnout hit a 6-year high in the US
at the same time, the global wellness industry is forecast to reach $9 trillion by 2028
health is the #1 industry in the US
it's bigger than the entire GDP of Germany 🤯
mental wellness is its fastest growing segment, sleep tech is on track to 5x in the next decade, mental health apps will nearly double by 2030
the math is almost too clean - more suffering, more market
a lot of people are getting very rich solving something that is getting worse every year
I don't know what to do with that - I just think it's worth sitting with
English
@IronBrands16 this framing helped me too. I offer 2 free scans not because I think free converts, but because nobody buys a $29 report without seeing the score first
the free tier IS the demo
English
Dont give us “did you try removing free plan?”
Yes we did, and we are fully aware that a free plan is NOT a pricing strategy. Its a marketing strategy
Also we believe users running websites that dont make money should have an alternative to the monstrosity of GA4
- Free plan: democratizing analytics
- Simple plan: remove GA4 for SA for your business
adriaan.com 📊 Simple Analytics@adriaandotcom
We passed 35,000 users at Simple Analytics. Every month, around 1,000 new users sign up and use our product. Transparency notice: most of them are free users. We have 1,337 paying customers. I was super scared about what support would cost us, so I built a community to forward people to and blocked the support email for free users. But you know what? Our tool is super self-serve. Users can figure it all out themselves, while our customer support is wide open. That said, we don’t get much back from our free users. They obviously don’t pay us anything, but we expected a bit more talk about Simple Analytics online because of it. So we’re debating internally whether we should add a badge requirement to the Free plan. Then free users would need to add a badge linking to Simple Analytics, which would give us something back: more eyeballs (even on smaller websites) and some backlinks (which might help, especially from bigger websites). Open to other suggestions on what we can do to keep the Free plan attractive, while also making sense from a business perspective.

@DFintelligence openclaw out of the box c'est moyen, openclaw customisé avec tes propres agents c'est un game changer.
Français
Unpopular opinion : OpenClaw, c’était juste une hype. C’était trop général, et ça finissait par devenir du spaghetti.
Je l’ai déjà désinstallé de toutes mes configs et, à la place, j’ai repris les bonnes idées, comme la config WhatsApp, puis j’ai build mon propre agent.
En vrai, il suffit de build par-dessus Claude Code ou Codex, et vous pouvez faire un truc qui vous convient vraiment.
Et du coup, qu’est-ce que ça veut dire ? Tout simplement que les solutions trop générales ne fonctionnent pas sur le long terme.
Les agents IA du futur devront être custom, avec le minimum de friction. C’est contradictoire, n’est-ce pas ?
En fait, je crois à une vision de l’assistant qui découvre et s’auto-adapte automatiquement à vos usages.

@bridgemindai running Gemini in production and the 503s alone cost me more in fallback logic than the API itself
reliability is a feature and Google doesn't have it
English
Just cancelled my $250/month Google AI Ultra subscription.
Gemini 3.1 Pro is inconsistent.
Gemini CLI crashes mid-session.
Antigravity loses context on complex tasks.
$250/month for a model I can't rely on.
Not worth it.
Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT 5.4 stay on the stack.
Gemini doesn't.
English
@adriaandotcom I went through the same debate. free users who never convert are just server costs.
I compressed my free report expiry from 14 to 7 days after data showed zero purchases after day 14.
sometimes the answer is just tightening the funnel, not adding friction.

@SoraiaDev @T_Zahil the ones who made it overnight usually have 3 failed products behind them that nobody talks about
persistence looks boring until it works.
English
Unpopular opinion: ship fast doesn’t work anymore
Building a lot of products you give up on after a few weeks is not a good idea
Every product you abandon, you’re loosing trust of your customers.
I personally wont buy your products if you keep building new ones all the time

@bridgemindai From running AI agents in production, Gemini 3 Flash for vision has the best cost/performance ratio I've found
near top-tier accuracy at a fraction of the price

@ClaudeCodeLog This update broke bypass permissions for me
Couldn’t get it working and had to roll back to 2.1.77
English
Claude Code 2.1.78 has been released.
26 CLI changes, 3 system prompt changes
Highlights:
• Response text streams line-by-line as it's generated, providing immediate partial output for faster feedback
• Third-party uploads show a clear public-exposure warning to reduce accidental sharing of sensitive data
• StopFailure hook fires when a turn ends from API errors (rate limit/auth), enabling explicit error handling

Imagine having so much hate in you.
This is not even me on that picture.
Who hurt that guy?
Matthias Schmidt@eurofounder
The only reason you posted this is to flex an attractive girl looking at you. The meeting itself was most likely just bunch of nobodies disussing nothing of value (because you lack expertise to do otherwise) Also, I bet there was at least one dating coach or a day trader present during this meeting.
English
@ClaudeCodeLog Looks like bypass permissions is broken on Windows in the latest release. Serious regression

Claude Code 2.1.78 is about to be released

@DanKulkov The best part is when you finally hit tier 2 and the 503s are still there, the tiers don't even fix the reliability problem.
English
google API tiers MAKE NO FUCKING SENSE
> attach card -> get paid tier 1
> hit RPD
> want to upgrade to paid tier 2
> there is no way
> top-up $100
> doesn't count, you need to SPEND $100
> can't spend because google offer ~$300 worth of credits for free
WHY THEY REFUSE MONEY
English
Vincent retweetledi
@OfficialLoganK With the new tier changes: do GCP credits (like Google for Startups) count toward tier qualification spend, or only direct payments?
English
We just shipped a bunch of stuff to make it easier to scale with the Gemini API:
- Automatic tier upgrades
- Tier 1 -> Tier 2 now happens much faster (30 days post payment -> 3 days) and with less spend ($250 -> $100)
- New billing account caps on each tier to limit over spend
