@EAHelp The update today completely broke the game for PC users. The game stutters and slow-motions, completely unplayable online or offline. I hope this gets fixed fast, we PC users are the smaller market but we pay the same $ as everyone else for the game.

@jonathan_wilke Only 17, vibe coded an unlaunched masterpiece in 2 prompts, ChatGPT says it'll have $50mil ARR within 90 days #RockstarLifestyle bring it! 😎

I love how all the vibe coded apps built with only 3-4 prompts have replaced established businesses. This really shows that professional developers are worthless these days.

4 posts in my stream this morning asking what to build when it seems like everything has been done already... build a better mousetrap! NotebookLM + Reddit tells all you need on what's missing & wanted from existing tools, fill the gaps.

@CodeHagen Great idea and work! I began selling sites (and site upgrades) to local business in 2002, you're doing in minutes what I'd spend weeks on back then. Added to a reseller hosting account a hustler has a gold mine handed to them here.

I built a money printer this weekend🤯 Im confident that someone is going to make some money on this, please copy this and use it ✨ This weekend i did a mini project where you can make websites for people that has bad websites. → Enter a site’s URL → AI grabs their copy & colors → One-click and you make a new website for the client → You can rent out the site for a monthly retainer 100% Free and Open Source Tech Stack: @vercel @shadcn @github @prisma @v0 Repo is going up tomorrow for you, just need to clean it up 😅 #opensource #buildinpublic

Favorite "to dev" pickup of the week!

@Shpigford Others gave gold ideas, build a competitor marketing analysis app, see where and how the competition is driving interest then do it better. Keywords, content (on and off site), which social platforms they're using, how they use them, PPC... deep dive then do better.

i'm an amazing builder and terrible marketer and i don't know what to do about that.

Saw heated debate on python or rails when adding AI to a website/app. Uh, PHP of course. KISS with dev and focus on selling.

I buy domains to dev then put them on domain sale landers until I can get to the dev'ing. I've intended for years to convert it to a lead gen lander to validate/qualify dev ideas instead... maybe next year.

@bogdan_vovchuk Great deal. As @danielchisca said CYA, higher equity with lower cash then set terms, if you don't hit X amount by set date you walk with domain, if you hit Y amount at set date they get a buyout price, etc.

Domains can be liquid. Today, I got my first offer that included equity + cash for a domain. From a pre-seed startup using AI voice agents to protect people - especially the elderly - from financial scams. Love where the world is heading. 🚀

AI coding is ok for local quick apps, AI coding for deployment be like: Day 1: Vibed my new SaaS, I'm gonna be rich! Day 2: "We've hacked your site, and took your little dog too!" Day 3: Lawsuits from angry customers over their data being stolen begin. Just my humble opinion.

@adamlyttleapps I'm with you. Chasing shiny = complications. Relying on unnecessary 3rd parties for subs mgmt., DBs, etc. = points of failure beyond your control (ask Zoom). KISS in your own backyard = better sleep at night.

Most common question I get? “what stack do you use?” And I always feel the disappointment when I tell them Vanilla SwiftUI Vanilla PHP Hosted on a shared server for $15/month with $0 cloudflare plan for distribution No need to complicate things

@ThePeterMick I've always used a domain-first approach. A fair product on a great domain will outperform a great product on …sReallyBadBrandingBecauseHeWaited.com every time, imho

What comes first in startups?

@ilovedotcom @searchbound Congrats!

On October 12th 2024, I launched PlumbingJobs.com Revenue so far in USD ~ October - $0 November - $95 December - $140 January - $140 February - $45 March - $190 April - $235 Total: $845 It's definitely growing, slowly but surely. Thanks @searchbound for inspiring me 😊

@cultra Have to agree, 5L and 2 syllable have long been my fav too, easy to dev and brand plus get decent interest for resell as well

I've always loved 5L brandables. It's not life changing sales but its great steady income. I am picky when buying them but can still find great deals and get 20-50X . Recent buys Gubbo. com Zorpo. com Kazzy. com Yuffo. com Yemmy. com Pogro. com Yubar. com Dulip. com

The more things change, the more they stay the same. We had Forums, Yahoo Groups, Digg, Squidoo. Now there's Reddit, FB Groups, Quora, Medium, TikTok. Platforms change, but gaining traction is timeless: Find your people, join conversations, be helpful, & show you know your shit!

I'm so terrible at posting that it amazes me I still have any followers. I'm truly grateful and appreciative of each one who hangs on through my silence 🫶

@FendlerTweets In recent years I faded off around the time S3 starts, it just gets too time consuming with work, life, family, etc. This year I stopped at S2 when it was obvious EA was money grabbing on the micros much more than in the past. Likely next year I won't even buy the game.

Seeing more MUT players voicing their concerns about the mode recently. One of the common threads seems to be that folks don’t feel like they can AFFORD to play anymore. The time, money, or the mix of both required to stay current. More specifically, the return feels less worthwhile to many players the harder we get squeezed for our resources. Riding Blitz ($$$) right into Cover Athletes (new, and also $$$) is not doing much to soothe tensions to that end. As a concerned observer, I wonder which breaks first. The company or the consumer. Something’s gotta give 🤷‍♂️

I'm more a dev than publisher, but follow niche site creators & last summer helped a friend start her own blog. $10 for hosting, $50 for @LongShot_ai, & $20 for @keysearchco monthly & she made over $2500 in April affiliate income from blog & newsletter, the hustles are real.
