The best Meilisearch management for solo dev with their own infra: christalks.dev/post/installin…

@aarondfrancis I know (And I'm using it), but I need more than 4 😅 I'm like you right now, several projects in parallel.

@ricardovdev Solo has a generous free tier!

The new Solo app is out! Run your agents, terminals, and devstack all in one app. I've increased the free tier, cleaned up the terminal, made trusting commands less annoying, fixed a few zsh issues, shift+enter issues, etc. Lots of good stuff!

@aarondfrancis Jajajajajaja, I want one of those :D Let me finish onboarding my first customer (First time winning money from a personal project) and try to use that to buy my license. I want to support this and also buy faster.dev license.

@ricardovdev haha I used a coupon 🙊 feels like money laundering otherwise

@aarondfrancis This is another product. Add the GitHub action builder, and the user will pay.

Using AI to build allllll the tooling to make everything else easier is the move. This is my release dashboard for Solo. It's all wired directly into GitHub actions. I can release to groups, do staged rollouts, the whole nine yards. And I don't have to remember anything!

I added new onboarding to Solo! When you first download it, it launches with a "welcome to Solo" project that walks you through some of the features

@aarondfrancis You deserve the recognition. Keep pushing, I will be using your products and share my results :)

@ricardovdev You're too kind. Thank you!

@aarondfrancis is my favorite Laravel Artisan; he's human and puts his heart into everything he presents and releases. This tool is outstanding, and he shares a lot of wisdom during the process.

@aarondfrancis Be proud of what you just did. I'm in the process of converting into a Claude Ambassador in Medellín, Colombia. I will be using Solo for my presentations.

The new Solo desktop app has been in the hands of beta users for about a week! Now rolling it out to 25% of regular users. If all goes well, it'll be generally available tomorrow! Your single app for working with every agent and managing your dev stack 🤤

@aarondfrancis Sorry for the delayed answer; it was in the coworking. It looks like the router is behind a proxy that is creating the problem. I found it after connecting at home.

@ricardovdev Hmm what are you seeing?

@aarondfrancis faster.dev cert expires.

What have I done

@aarondfrancis, is there a way to use sudo commands in SOLO?

@abhagsain @aarondfrancis I honestly think Claude is enough. 2 weeks to build SaaS: bulletbudget.com Pending release next week.

My coding workflow so far with the monthly cost of $300 ($100 for Claude Code, $200 for Codex) - Opus 4.6 for plan mode, research, back and forth discussion Once something is finalised, ask it to get a second opinion with Codex 5.3 via counselors, thanks @aarondfrancis 🔗↓ - claude updates the plan - use @TaskmasterAI to create tasks from the plan (make sure to use CLI so it adds enough context for each task) - ask Claude what things can be done in parallel - create separate worktrees, use Claude Code for smaller tasks, and Codex App for major ones. They take second opinion from each other - testing the changes myself, unblocking agents, answering questions

@aarondfrancis Happy birthday to the best! God bless you and all your family!

My kids made me so many presents for my birthday today! I got an old pair of socks, three of their stuffed animals, my glucose tabs that I couldn't find for a while, and some kids' books. Best birthday!

Claude Code CLI is goated but typing large amounts of text in the CLI is not. Pro tips: - option-left & option-right navigate by word - ctrl-c delete all - ctrl-w cut back a word, ctrl-k cut to end of line, ctrl-u cut to start of line, ctrl-y paste - ctrl-g go into vim mode

@Whizz_ai Can you share a link to one of these 5 thousands websites generated by this shared content?

BREAKING: AI can now build you a complete website in 2 hours (for free). Here are 9 insane Claude Opus 4.6 + Figma Make prompts that create $5,000 websites in 2 hours: (Save this before your competitors do)

The fastest way to lose a good man isn't cheating but..

@renideas @aarondfrancis It's ok; you can steal the feature, but not the core idea or the genius inside the bottle. @aarondfrancis, that's why I'm building software for non-IT-related sectors to make money. They don't seek the latest trend to copy. They just want software that works.

@aarondfrancis I think it’s the problem when building stuff for devs. Claude code can do it in one afternoon. I am sorry :(
