There's only so much you can do with manufactured backlinks. Participating in a backlink exchange and submitting to directories are two examples. Getting organic backlinks is much harder. It requires a good product. Sharing my journey as I build out the chatbot experience for Formzz with the hopes of getting better backlinks. #buildinpublic

Just manually finished submitting to 110 directories. Took me 1.5 days. Anything lower than 35 DR is not worth it. #buildinpublic

I've been submitting my app to directories. Doing it manually. It's a lot of work. I noticed that a lot of them are the same; just cookie cutter sites. Not sure about ROI until a few months from now. #buildinpublic

Showing how I'm using Outrank to generate articles and improve SEO visibility for my site. Will share results when they come in.

I'm using Claude Cowork to help improve my site SEO. It fixed all issues and helped me do research for my next set of 100 articles.

Going to be trying something new and sharing my journey as I build Formzz.

Instead of asking the agent to fix the problem, start by asking why it doesn't work. This way both you and it understands what the issue is and often the end result is much better.

Got called out recently for not posting regularly like I promised. Didn't think anyone was reading.

I'm trying to build a pricing plan that works world wide but realized it's not going to work. I'm just going to ship it for US/CA for now and deal with the rest of the world later. Pricing is hard.

I wanted one test runner for my mono repo. Asked the LLM and it recommended vitest (TLD). Asked it to setup and migrated everything over. Best thing ever!!!

Working on RBAC for business use cases. The implementation was getting to complex and I was loosing track. Glad I slept on it and have a clearer head. Much smoother today.

You should be spending more time reading and reviewing code than writing it.

Setup context7 today. My first MCP usage. I still think MCP is over hyped.

Just spent about 1 hour writing a plan for a new billing system. Cursor built it in a few minutes. Tomorrow I will review the code!

@Praha37v are you able to get ai to build this?

Which button is cool?

Composer 1 is really fast! Loving it

everyone is building a browser!

@thdxr cursor's plan mode is pretty great

ai can't build great software neither can you

is vercel down right now?

I wrote a post targeting “linkedin message for coffee chat.” Result: Page 1, position 4 already. Encouraging sign for day one 🚀 I also published a post targeting “how to connect with someone on LinkedIn.” Too early for results — Search Console lags by 3–4 days. Now it’s about consistency: 1 article every 2 days. Tomorrow → the writing process ✍️
