this is wrong. i see this argument often and i can’t let you guys get misguided longer
i’ll give you the actual playbook i used to go from 0 followers to running a 7-figure studio
it’s wrong because it gives conversion advice for a discovery platform
no one on x wants to read a case study
no one here cares about the problems you solved. and the more context you give, the less your tweets perform
yes, that stuff is important but that comes later in the pipeline
your only job on x is to get eyeballs. optimize for that
the best-performing posts are almost never client work. they often are explorations you enjoy doing for the sake of progressing, polished to an unreasonable degree. post those and watch numbers go up
use the work as the hook, your thinking as the qualifier, and proof as the close
once you have attention, the right founders reach out. now the game changes. now it is about how you think, what questions you ask, where your mind goes, and whether your interest in their business is actually genuine
they do not care about your process in the abstract,
they do not care how you get inspired or how many times you will meet them weekly. some don’t even care about how much you charge!
they care that you care about their business,
they care that your standards are high,
they care that your judgment is sharp.
the key word is genuine. sometimes you realize you are not actually interested. good. say no. save your energy for the clients that genuinely wake your brain up
this is how you do your best work,
this is how you get more and better clients,
virtuous loop.

a lot of design content gets attention from designers, not clients. that’s the disconnect. clients are rarely impressed just because something looks clean. what they actually respond to is clarity of thought. they want to know how you see problems, how you make decisions, what your standards are, and whether there is real thinking behind the visuals. so yes, post the work, but don’t rely on the work to do everything on its own. talk about the process. talk about what was wrong before. talk about why you chose one direction over another. share opinions. share taste. share the logic. that is usually what makes the work feel valuable to someone who might actually pay for it. and then the rest is just proof. the work on the profile, the names you’ve worked with, the testimonials, the credibility. that part should be obvious when someone lands on your page. a lot of people are better than they look online simply because they are too quiet about what they’ve already done.

@antoine_os I don't understand...
Is that because they're making the non pro version with the same design as the pro?

I kinda don’t believe it.
If true it means apple is rotten inside

you are not a real designer if you haven't pirated a font at least once

@exkpwn @usetoolbar I'll probably even borrow something from that website, as it fits in quite well with what I want to do now hehe

era of websites powered by copy?
vibecoded a website for @usetoolbar (we are developing a new product in our collection).
inspired by agentation.com website and the latest trends of creating as simple websites as possible, powered only by copy, without excessive visuals, just pure value.
an overall nice experience.
