@r00k Outside 100%. Basement might have humidity/mold problems.
English
I might use it more in the basement, but it'd be more special with the view. I'd probably use the basement one alone, but could more entice guests to the outside one.
English
Should I build my sauna in the basement we're finishing, or as an outbuilding with a view of the lake?

What happened to Airtable, Monday, and all those other productivity tools? It feels like the only ones people actually use now are Notion and Linear.

@anothercohen This is a textbook definition of selection bias

You’re telling me that 79% of the boats stopped off the coast of Venezuela *were* trafficking drugs??
Senator Rand Paul@SenRandPaul
Coast Guard records show that prior to the reign of “blow-them-to-smithereens” 21 percent of boats stopped off the coast of Venezuela possessed NO drugs!

Chatbase is celebrating $8M ARR.
This is really big and it’s big for multiple reasons.
1. It’s built by a solo founder.
All decisions are made by Yasser, one person acting as CEO, marketing, sales, product. He is the one taking all the responsibility.
2. Chatbase is a bootstrapped company.
That means no VC money. No VC connections.
All the money made has been reinvested back into the product.
3. Chatbase has a small team making this happen.
A few people doing the work most companies need departments for.
4. This product started with a tweet.
With a founder experimenting, building in this community, in public.
If you’re a solo founder right now, building alone, doubting everything:
Let Chatbase be proof.
- You don’t need permission.
- You don’t need a big team.
- You don’t need a pitch deck.
You need:
belief in what you’re building,
belief in your own skills,
and belief that people will show up if you keep showing up first.
It is possible.
Keep going.
Someone out there will tweet about your “crazy little project” one day too.
Yasser@yasser_elsaid_
Today, @Chatbase crossed $8M in ARR. 100% bootstrapped. What started as a side project has grown into a platform trusted by over 10,000 customers. This milestone kicks off the next chapter of Chatbase. Building an AI agent that will become your customer-facing cofounder.

@levelsio Lots of folks avoid flashy new vc funded tools because so many either run out of cash or get acquired and shut down within a few years
English
You can often predict a company's course if their announcements talk more about how much investment they got than their product
If I'd raise $50M maybe I'd not even tweet it? Just use it to improve the product and get more users and talk about that
Having $$$ in the bank tells me absolutely nothing about why I should use your product, it's not my money, it's your money, it benefits me as a customer exactly zero
If you post some really cool new feature you build, that makes me want to sign up and become a customer though

I’m thrilled to share that @numeral has raised a $35M Series B, led by Mayfield, at a $350M valuation! Turns out, sales tax and VAT have gotten so complex that we need AI and millions of dollars in VC funding to make it simple again. This brings us to $57M in funding, including our $18 million Series A led by Benchmark Capital in March of this year. We are 1,057 days into building Numeral, and I’m humbled to say that we’ve processed over $5 billion in transaction volume, filed 150,000 sales tax returns for +2,000 paying customers, and achieved 3.5x year-over-year revenue growth. Numeral is the end-to-end platform for sales tax and VAT compliance. I couldn't be prouder of what we’ve accomplished… but there's still a lot left to build, many new customers to serve, and a heck of a lot more sales tax filings to, well, file. So what’s next? Global coverage: Growing internationally? Our in-house platform currently covers 60+ countries, and we are expanding to many more by the end of the year. Integrations: As you may have noticed, we’ve launched several new integrations over the last few months, including with Orb, Sequence, Tabs, and others. Some exciting integrations to come! Automation: Could Numeral be the most boring AI company? Our AI may not be the flashiest, but our automations mean you'll never have to log into a government portal or listen to hold music again. Our team: We are currently hiring for multiple roles across our organization. Ready to join us? Matt and I are incredibly grateful to our customers and team. Thank you for making this milestone possible. And a special thank you to our wonderful investors: @MayfieldFund, @SPangulur, @benchmark, @chetanp, @ycombinator, @gustaf, @uncorkcap, @susanwliu, @FundersClub, @mittal, @mantisVC, @AlexPallNY, @ShaanVP, @lennysan, @moizali, @mrsharma, @ringmybeller, @khency6, @asturnerr, @maariabajwa, and so many others.

@Shpigford Pick one product, do 10, hour long interviews with super happy users and you’ll get ideas. Repeat.
English
Real talk: I’m struggling with how to market all the stuff I’m building.
I know it needs to be done and it’s easy to ask ChatGPT for ideas, but ultimately I kinda feel paralyzed.
English
@thinking_slow Wow, they must be sounding the alarm internally over this.
English
I can confirm that Cursor has replaced Figma for me for product design.
Paul Graham@paulg
I talked to the CEO of a moderately big tech co who said they'd replaced Figma with Replit. This surprised me because I don't even think of them as being in the same business. But he said Replit is so good at generating apps that they just to straight to prototype now.

Gonna test the thesis that new SaaS products can be run by solo/small teams for radically lower prices next week. Launching a competitor to a widely used product that’s outrageously overpriced for being so simple. Free lifetime subscription to the 1st person to guess it.

Everything else on the home page remains the same, which of these three messaging variations leads to the most signups?
Variation A "Wrestling"
Variation B "Sets you free"
Variation C "Get somewhere"
We've run one test, and are running another to verify.
What's your bet?

What tool that your company spends at least $1000/yr on do you hate the most?

Fin, by Intercom is the #1 AI Agent for Customer Service.
(And fwiw you can actually get fired for buying IBM, see attached)

The Shopify AS police are so obnoxious.
We need to prove our 4 year old with 1000+ customers ... does the thing it says it does?
Who has the time for this?

Bungie has laid off 200+ people and has seen the studio shrink in size by half in the last few years
Stephen Totilo@stephentotilo
The lawsuit brought by ex-Bungie dev Chris Barrett against Sony/Bungie for breach of contract & defamation includes an incredible document Shows he was set to make $84 million from Sony's $3.6b purchase of Bungie - $35m paid at closing - $45m still due had he not been fired
