Testimonial.to has the most generous free plan if you just want to import X or LinkedIn posts to collect social proof and build your wall of love. I’m paying Elon to use their API, but I’m giving it to you for free! 💜

I’ve never seen this in the US, but in 🇨🇳, you’ll often see retirees singing and dancing in public.

Still surreal to see indie makers get a shoutout from a company worth hundreds of billions. This kind of recognition means more than you know. Thank you @stripe! 🫶

@marclou @csallen @phuctm97 @jackfriks indie gangsters!!!

Gym session for the father of the indie hacker movement @csallen In 2022 indiehackers.com was my bible. I’d binge founder stories and think I’d be like them someday. And here we are: 3 offsprings of the indien hacker movement: @phuctm97, @jackfriks and me.

@geteviapp @i_am_brennan Pick the lowest config, and it's like $0.01/hour, so ~$10/m

@i_am_brennan @damengchen It is crazy expensive to run! D1 for example is free and this is like 100/m

For the first time ever, I shipped a new project using the raw GCP stack. No Firebase, no Vercel, no wrapper. Thanks to AI! I used to hate those Google docs. Now they are gems for LLM. AI knows every little detail in GCP. So good! 🫶

@phototypelabs I need to use FFmpeg, but Firebase serverless function has strict limits.

@damengchen What's the benefit and what's more raw than Firebase?

@0xFarai I don't know if it's unlisted

@damengchen Even if it’s an unlisted vid?

Better not to use a YouTube embed for your demo! I just got asked to confirm I'm not a bot. That’s a bad UX and may hurt your conversion.

My evolution as a software engineer in the AI era: from manually writing code in VS Code, to coding in Cursor with an AI chat, to now only seeing AI agents in Claude Code. “Software engineer” might soon belong in a museum.

@tdinh_me Working on an editor app as well, also for a specific type 😶

My wife just vibe-coded a macOS Electron app that helps her make YouTube videos (a specific type of video that the process of making them is very repeatable). The app looks so real, 80% of the way.

Can’t believe 5 years ago i was still coding in Vim. Good old times, never again :(

@marclou tax write-off for business expenses 🤭

@damengchen Already felt the itch after booking a $300/night room 😭😅

I'm going to San Francisco from Apr 28 to May 10 🦅🇺🇸🎉 It's my first time visiting the USA, so I'll organize a little meetup. If you're in SF on May 2nd, RSVP with the link in the next tweet. Would love to meet you! I wanted to do an outdoor meetup at Crissy Field, but ChatGPT tells me I need a permit. Is it true? If so, I'll find an indoor place and update the location later. I'll be at @stripe Session 2026 too, so if you're around, hit me up!

Thanks Claude for giving me a time off! 🧘‍♂️

Electricity is so cheap in china, even trash bins have lights on them with a solar panel. They light up at night so you can still find them 😳

@ERodz3 Sorry, which product is it? If it's for Testimonial, there is a live chat on weekdays.

@damengchen @damengchen been trying to reach someone regarding support problem

The American mind can never comprehend this...

@ankurnagpal Love Carry! Congrats Ankur!

Carry has been acquired by Angellist and Lettuce We started this company 3.5 years ago to help business owners make better financial decisions These two transactions allow us to continue to do this important work in a bigger way Thank you to everyone who supported us ❤️

@MarieMartens @TallyForms Impressive work, Marie! Congrats!

Over 5 years in building @TallyForms, and we just crossed $5M ARR 🥹 ✅ Still bootstrapped ✅ Still a tiny team (11 now) ✅ Still growing organically ✅ Still obsessively listening to users What changed: → We dropped revenue targets, instead we’re optimizing for product quality → AI search is our #1 acquisition channel → A trusted community is becoming our moat We're chasing a feeling: that every time you open Tally, it just works, and it's a little bit better than the last time you used it. To our community: thanks for being part of this journey. Whether you've been here since the Product Hunt launch in 2021 or you just signed up last week, you're the reason we get to do this 🫰 Full recap: blog.tally.so/the-road-from-…

@diwashprenuer you want both, you won't get both

@damengchen Doesn't it work both way ?

The easiest way to win on X is to win in your business first. But most people here think the easiest way to win in business is to win on X first.
