Trello, Linear, Notion, Jira. None of them care if you ship. They're built for teams. You're not a team. That's why you have 12 unfinished side projects. I know the feeling. so I built FoundStep for Solo Devs who need a tool that pushes back👇 ✅ Mandatory workflow (No skipping steps) 🎯 7-step idea validation 🔒 Lock scope with limited unlocks 📜 Shame history logs every excuse, permanently 🤖 AI guidance + MVP planner 🚢 Auto-advances project progress ⚓ The Harbor , your public wall of finished projects ✨ Shareable Ship Cards for every win No half-built projects. No excuses. foundstep.com

@creatorpascal Building in public build you an audience who love the progress thats it. most cases they wont be your customers anyway.

If you're not building in public, you're competing against people who are. They will always have more data, more compounding, more surface area for luck to find them. Building in private was a luxury of the old economy. The new attention economy does not reward it.

@HoussamDesigner What if algorythm dont support me?

Do you want clients? - Post your work simple as that

@Isaacdev0 Lesson 1. Don't limit for above usecases always. If you're familiar with a language and it faciliates what you need then go for it dont waste time choosing languages for different usecases!

Programming Languages and Their Main Use Cases • 🐍 Python → AI, Data Science, Automation, Backend • 🟨 JavaScript → Frontend, Backend, Full-stack Web • ☕ Java → Enterprise Apps, Android Development • ⚙️ C → Embedded Systems, OS Development • 🚀 C++ → Game Development, High-performance Systems • 🎮 C# → Game Dev (Unity), Desktop Apps, Backend • ☁️ Go → Cloud, DevOps, Scalable Backend • 🦀 Rust → Systems Programming, Performance-critical Apps • 🤖 Kotlin → Android Development, Backend • 🍎 Swift → iOS & macOS Apps • 🔷 TypeScript → Large-scale Web Apps • 🐘 PHP → Web Development (Server-side) • 💎 Ruby → Web Apps (Startups, MVPs) • 🎯 Dart → Cross-platform Apps (Flutter) • 🏦 COBOL → Banking Systems, Legacy Enterprise Systems What was the first programming language you learned?

@ccodyy69 Testing what ai built for me yesterday 🙃

What’s your coding mood today? • Building fast ⚡ • Fixing bugs 🔧 • Watching tutorials 😭 • Thinking of quitting 💀

@seraleev I would go with option 1. Before building it for someone else, i want to be the first user of my product. For that the idea should solve my own problem!

How do you pick your next app idea? 1. Solve my own problem 2. Market research and data

@cormachayden_ Curious about what causes suddenly drop earnings to 0?

earnings as a founder by year: y1: $0 y2: $50 y3: $1,000 y4: $25 y5: $2,800 y6: $0 y7: $13,000 y8: $0 y9: $19,500 y10: $20,020 y11: $0 y12: $35,000 y13: $125,811 y14: $447,735 y15: $3.3m choose the right long term games

which one do you skip the most? mine's creating contents that market my product. i'd rather code for 10 hours than creating 1 single post :(

solo dev simple checklist no one actually follows but works: → focus on marketing the product (create 1 post, 1 video, 1 article / day) → charge more than you're comfortable with (minimum 10.99$) → stop adding features that are nice to have but not required to have → close 4 tabs we all know this. but we all ignore it! any item i missed in the list?

@Y77u9 @pcshipp Proved my point 👏

@desilvakdn @pcshipp Yeahwhen I first added a paywall,some users got upset and left the group.But honestly, those are usually the people who were never going to pay anyway they just consume your time The paying users rarely complainThey just subscribe quietlyFocus on yr target users, not the loudest

I have 1,400+ active users, and 60% use Guest Mode I made login mandatory to access paid features. Users started leaving 1⭐ reviews and delete the app If I allow paid features without login, becomes much harder to manage backend What would you do in this situation?

@Priya_Upadhyay_ 100% agree

The biggest cost of a startup is not the servers but the time you spend on things that do not matter

@DopeOblivion I think it should be We have to be better!

we have to prepare. Its happening

@clementlionne client didn't leave because claude is better. they left because what you sold them was something AI can now do. shift up design systems, custom logic, taste, judgment. AI eats the bottom, not the top. yet.

Claude just replaced me 🥲 I lost a client I had for years who decided to switch to a custom site built with Claude anyone else seeing this trend?

@naturedotcom better question is what you're building. python for side project / api / anything AI Java for example , for a banking system with 500 engineers. neither is 'better,' they're optimized for different problems.

Which is better for backend python or java

my whole feed is creators 'breaking down' the X algo on github, read x amount of lines and somehow no two takes agree. they're just farming engagement. Dont waste your time on others and take a look yourself!

@tinytechfox Very informational!

Practical Launch Tip #2 🚀 Before you submit your product anywhere, write one clear one-liner. A good one-liner tells people: -Who it’s for -What it helps them do -Why they should care Simple format: Helps [specific person] do [specific outcome] without [specific pain]. Example: “Helps builders get ongoing product discovery without relying on one perfect launch day.” You are not trying to sound fancy. You are trying to make the right person understand it in 5 seconds. 📝

@KaiXCreator Nope! It misses edgecases until i ask, were those covered or not? And it always say good catch i missed it

Is Claude Opus really the best model for coding right now ?

@pcshipp Then you handled it very bad!

140 free daily active users are burning my tokens

@TTrimoreau because 'perfect' is just my guess at what users want. real users will tell me what's actually broken faster than i can figure it out alone. shipping = learning, polishing in isolation = guessing.

@desilvakdn Why ?

As a solo founder, what’s your mindset? -perfect before launch -launch before perfect

@Taniyatweets_ I thinks its Cybersecurity. Because AI-written code isn't fully robust. it leaves vulnerabilities and security gaps. Someone will need to fix those issues down the line, especially in the apps being vibe-coded into unicorns today.

In this AI era, which career path still feels the most future proof? Cybersecurity AI/ML Web Development Android Development Game Development
