@thesamparr @skillissuesf Yup, and as a fellow Croatian, please don't give up! 💪

@skillissuesf Don't be a bitch. You can do this. Say sorry. Fix it. Keep going.

I'm sure X will be thrilled to hear that we're going to shut our brand. Yes, we made a mistake in launching a Reindustrialize sweater that was made in Portugal, but we truly did look for 3 months for a factory in the US that would make it at 50 MOQ and couldn't find one. Our plan was to launch it and see if there was enough demand for it to justify a larger MOQ. Also, we thought that in the process of doing this, there was a good chance we'd unsurface a factory that could do it. (Which we did. It seems the only factory in the US that can do this has a website that says they're a fabric company.) Our brand was about a love for technologists and wanting to make them look better. All the nastiness of the past week destroyed that for us. Tech bros are clearly not supportive of anyone else but other tech bros in building start-ups. Instead of a positive, constructive, builder-supportive, "Hey, here's a US factory that can make your next run," we were subject to a slew of abuse. I lost my life savings doing this, which should make everyone happy. (Yes, I'm Croatian.) I need to go get a job now. We have piles of inventory: all the next planned drops of clothes we made to honor tech culture that we're now just going to give away. Doing a thread of the clothes now. DM us your size and address if you want something, but please say something kind. We don't want to contribute any more negativity to the world.

@thekitze @theo Took me a week to figure out you need to click the rocket...

@theo it would be newer if the update button worked

this is killing me 💀

@garrytan GarryStack™

Thanks for the prod. I am on it.

@levelsio 👋

Okay let's see who can reply to this

@gabor But true engineers use dark mode…

Today I learned the turn “deep green engineer” - their GitHub profile is the deepest shade each day of green because of all the commits.

@kitlangton This is awesome! How does the pause media work? Would be cool if it could pause and resume Youtube in Chrome/Helium.

@Bencera Your name is Victor-Benjamin, but everybody calls you Ben!

$6M run rate. $3M->$6M in 2 weeks. One Founder + AI agents. Zero employees. I wanted to create a platform with the vibes of the 1990s, the vibes of the 2000s, of the 2010s, and then have a feature of the future And I said, "Wait a second, I know the Agent SDK Why don't I use the Agent SDK which is the feature of the future?" And I didn't have any idea what to do, but I knew I needed agents, so I put agents in loops and connected MCPs, which then were synced to real products running in production I knew that could be a feature of the future but I didn't realize how much the impact would be

@tommoor @linear Rename "issues" to "tasks". 😅

What would you join @linear to fix?

@RhysSullivan Press ★ on that domain widget on dashboard and then go to domain overview page... 🤦‍♂️

i wasn't prepared for the cloudflare dashboard glow up

@nickgraynews @dinasaur_404 @MattieTK It seems you are looking for this? developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-for…

@dinasaur_404 Hi!! I was talking to @MattieTK just now on the phone (great guy) about Workers stuff for static websites Can I borrow 5 mins of your time to get advice about how I can do something or how I should think about doing something w/Workers? It involves a bunch of domain names (which are each owned by different people) pointing to one or multiple Workers (that I control) and I'm not quite sure how to manage that

@brian_lovin Don't show him a Toblerone!

His head will explode when he looks at the FedEx logo for a bit

We're also sharing an early alpha of our new interface. cursor.com/glass

Composer 2 is now available in Cursor.

@mohaknahta @SusquehannaVC @LongJourneyVC @ElevCap @peakxvpartners @makemytrip Congrats! Btw, some labels say "Visa guaranteed on X days", which sounds really weird, and your currency data is wrong for Croatia – it's still showing HRK, which was replaced with EUR more than 3 years ago.

We’ve raised $36M in Series C, led by @SusquehannaVC (SIG). Existing investors @LongJourneyVC , @ElevCap and @peakxvpartners doubled down. @makemytrip joined the round, marking the start of a strategic partnership to further enable seamless travel. But if I’m honest, moments like this belong just as much to our customers. The people who trusted us with journeys that really mattered to them. Many came to us anxious, uncertain, sometimes completely overwhelmed by the process. And yet they chose Atlys. Many came back again. Many told someone else to try us. That kind of trust has shaped our growth far more than any metric ever could. A big thank you to the team as well for your effort, commitment, and conviction. This progress reflects what we’ve built together and what is still ahead.

@theCTO "Access blocked: Orchid is not approved by Advanced Protection" — is this something on my end? Never saw that before.

as of today, Orchid is live and in public beta. after months of stealth, we're releasing a proactive delegation layer that makes modern work a pleasure. the only agent in your stack you don't need to configure. the future's bright. orchid.ai

@levelsio What exactly is tmux giving you? Window splitting shortcuts? If yes, you could just add those to Ghostty config.

I hate tmux It's so incredibly user unfriendly The shortcuts make no sense I wish someone would make a better tmux Even just logging into tmux attaching the screen is an illogical hell to type Again I hate tmux, it's so shit

@timsoulo @ahrefs Am I the only one getting ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR?

A free web mentions API? - Yes, please! @Ahrefs just launched Firehose. And it's kind of a big deal. 👉 firehose.com It captures updates from across the web, filters them using rules you define, and delivers results via API (for bots and agents) or a frontend UI (for humans). Under the hood, it's powered by @Ahrefs' massive crawler infrastructure (one of the largest on the web), so the coverage is legitimately impressive. Now that AI has made coding accessible to everyone, there's no excuse not to spin up a free Firehose account and start experimenting. Track brand mentions, monitor competitors, catch keyword trends — whatever you want. Want more ideas? Just feed the API docs to Claude Code and ask it what to build: 👉 firehose.com/api-docs Happy building! P.S. Firehose is free until further notice.

@ctatedev x.com/benpixel/statu… This was fast! 🔥

New skill: OAuth + Portless Many OAuth providers reject .localhost and .test subdomains Portless fixes this with --tld to give your app a valid TLD locally Give your agent this skill: npx skills add vercel-labs/portless --skill oauth

@ctatedev Any workarounds for google oauth not allowing .localhost or even .test domains?

Portless now available on Windows npm install -g portless Now your whole team can use Portless Named URLs instead of port numbers For local dev

@thejeremyredman Yehaaw!! Check DMs for more!

@benpixel Appreciate it man!!! Truly!!! Appreciate your feedback too. Connecting!! Loved hearing from you

Day 1 building LeadQuest to 1M free users. I rewrote the homepage headline to this: “Finding people’s contact info shouldn’t be so goddamn expensive.” Because the current lead-gen industry is ridiculous. $99/mo $300/mo $15k contracts Just to get an email address. Nah. Follow the build.
