Hey people! I am bootstrapping ShipFeed, a new place where indie makers and early stage startups can share product updates in their own words. The idea is simple. You register your product, post updates, and those updates live on the feed and a dedicated product page over time.

They are looking into it :D x.com/linear/status/…

@linear Thanks for looking into it!

@ivanonchi Sorry for the trouble here, and glad you were able to work around it with MCP. We’re investigating this issue now, and we’ll share updates here: linearstatus.com

@linear is not loading for me this morning, luckly I could update tickets via MCP 🤖

@dhh When I started my latest side project I was a bit anxious because there weren’t many people writing about AI with Rails, all was about Next and React. But the Rails side is pretty fine in my experience with Codex👌

Convention over configuration set the path for 20+ years of great training data for AI to use today. Not only does this mean agents do great with Rails, but also that squishy humans can quickly and confidently review the output without a jungle of distracting boilerplate.

@PabloSantanaT Haha, fair enough. Can’t argue with results, congrats again on the milestone. Consistency clearly works, even if some great posts still get lost in the timeline.

@ivanonchi I just post on here man

My little SaaS just crossed 1000 user signups 🥹 We are really grateful for everyone that is using it and all the positive feedback we have received We are going to 10k MRR soon, watch us do it 🫡

@jakobjelling Hey Jakob, I saw your post about Launchli, thanks for the story! It is now live. Still early days for ShipFeed, so I’m very open to feedback as you give it a try.

@ivanonchi Thanks Ivan. Gotta try this. Bookmarked 👍

It's Monday. Time to promote your product. What are you working on?

@Riley_Ikni @s_chiriac Love the idea of building in public and thought a new platform with this marketing concept would be cool. Basically marketing is an endless problem 😄

@ivanonchi @s_chiriac Got it What made you build this idea? you had this problem yourself?

Do you have a startup but no paying customers? Share it below 👇

@upen946 Post about your product updates and get backlinks shipfeed.dev

👋👋 Monday again!! Time to promote your product. 🚀 Share your product URL

@Riley_Ikni @s_chiriac Also, there is an SEO angle: if your updates live on a permanent page, they can rank over time and earn backlinks. Tweets and forum threads rarely do.

@ivanonchi @s_chiriac People have problems sharing product updates ? (Am trying to understand)

@IndieSamMaker @s_chiriac Hey Sam, as a thanks for taking your time giving detailed feedback and reporting the bug, I granted you 3 months of Pro plan, in case you want to continue trying it out with pro features enabled. The bug was a problem handling the svg logo and is already fixed. Thanks a lot!!

@ivanonchi @s_chiriac Also there seems to be a small bug when I've tried to create a product 😅💪

@Riley_Ikni @s_chiriac ShipFeed is a place for founders to share product updates as they ship. Launches, features, milestones, and progress updates. It just went live recently and is still early, but open to anyone building.

@ivanonchi @s_chiriac What's your product about? How long has it been live?

@IndieSamMaker @s_chiriac Hey Sam, Thanks for trying out Shipfeed! You're absolutely right, I have to hustle to get momentum and gain domain authority. Your feedback totally makes sense, added to the backlog! But first I must iron that "small" bug out 😱

@s_chiriac Thanks for the encouragement!

@ivanonchi Hope you get them really fast, good luck 💪

@Robert_Watkin_ Yeah, that delicate balance that I struggle with as well. Thanks for sharing!

I have failed... That's how I've been feeling recently. Not because anything has gone wrong... but because I have dropped the ball I was actively coding for a few hours per day and interacting on X for a few hours each day for over 3 months... Outside of my day job, while maintaining my personal life (This also resulted in me neglecting my fitness and health) I wouldn't even say I burnt out but Christmas & New Year got in the way as well as some personal situations and I have struggled to get back into the swing of things Realistically it has been less that 2 weeks I've not been active but it feels like a lifetime It probably isn't good that I feel this way but I think that is part of the impact X can have when activity drops That being said, my SEO traffic on BlogLab and MyUserFeedback has continued to grow thanks to BlogLab working well and I still see a bright future for BlogLab I won't be giving up on my dreams anytime soon but wanted to share my thoughts/feelings recenty in the name of transparency After all, building in public is about the ups AND the downs So that's my little rant over, I will be slowly getting into things again and sharing progress on X but trying to not put the pressure on myself as much There is plenty on my todo list so let's see how things play out going forward After all, if I need a break, then I should take it without worrying about analytics or reach fadinf My focuses for this year: - relationships - health and fitness - then my products - then growing on X Trying to focus more on product development than X until I build up some momentum Hope you have all had a great Christmas and New Years! Wish you all the best for 2026

@buildItN0w Solid advice! I hope I can launch soon a project that could add to your backlink strategy.

My backlink strategy - Submit to some directories not every single one but some higher DR ones + ConfettiSaaS.com is always a must! - write blog posts start with AI generation, but refine manually, don't spam but make sure they get into Bing (and therefore ChatGPT) with ShowUpInAI.com - Do backlink exchanges ask for backlinks from websites in your niche, give them a link from your page or another project. Use BacklinkDog.com to make sure your backlinks don't get removed silently!

This is valid for any mvp, put yourself in the loop to learn what the users really want. The do things that don’t scale stuff.

Do it until I can’t handle the requests and then connect back to the api. This way I can get insights on how the users use the app and how to fine tune the prompts.

I had a few dollars on Claude API for an “IA wrapper” which was seldomly used by anyone, and the credits expired after one year 🤬 I think I will just make it send the user request to my mail, me do the prompting and send result to the user manually 🤫
