I wrote a comparison between account sharing and refilling your coca-cola drink at McDonalds. lifelog.be/account-sharin… What do you think? Should we just let it go? 4/4

@iannuttall turns out it's Kimi x.com/fynnso/status/…

I haven't used Cursor in a long time, but the new Composer 2 model just one-shot a frontend design from Next.js over to Astro 6 that GPT 5.4 butchered badly! Fast is good and fast and accurate is great. Will use this a lot more now

@pr_pirate @Prezly Tnx Robby! We ❤️ you too :-)

Just had this happen for the 4th time this year (only did the joke reply once) Devs: PLEASE don't just blanket email your contacts. At least use a tool like mailchimp, Google mail merge or something else. We personally use @Prezly and are very happy with it.

I found a good use case of using AI (and an LLM) in our Product! For a few weeks we've been trying to algorithmically determine the answer to a simple question. Is this domain (cnn.com, thefp.com, racket.news, nyt.com) a news outlet or not? We kept tuning the scoring, adding more data sources (SimilarWeb, Diffbot, scrape ourselves)... to solve what feels to me like a simple problem: is this a news outlet? Yes or no? Turns out that gpt4o (although I had to query it 3x) makes all our efforts obsolete. With this new information we can start extracting, suggesting and hinting media outlets throughout the contact database. #buildinpublic

So good! 😍 Seriously what's going on with Europe? Digital Services Act, CSAM,...

hey @ahrefs your content explorer is 🔥. I find myself using the 'news' tab more and more. But according to the docs you pre-approve news domains. Is there any way we can check that list of pre-approved domains? Or any other source you use to identify news?

@johnrushx I had some doubts about the whole tweet/claims when i first read it. But now I'm even more suspicious.

@digitalbase It’s a VC backed startup Unfortunately I can’t share this publicly as I share for my bootstrapped projects

I laid off entire sales & marketing department of my enterprise SaaS a year ago. My goal was to fully automate their work with AI and switch into organic and inbound traffic. They didn’t believe it was possible and didn’t wanna make it happen. 12 months later we have more traffic, leads, contracts. I also reduced the support, design and dev team size (also AI) to improve margins. Total reduction in expenses was 70%. Today we’re by far the most effective company on the market (revenue per employee). We can drop the price now so low, that every competitor will go out of business. The market today eagerly seeks for cheaper solutions, because they were pushed to save more money. It turns out an entire industry may start looking for the cheaper solution. And none of the vendors may be capable of providing such price. The one that can give the same product at a half price at the right time might end up monopolizing entire industry because none of our competitors are doing such optimizations. People kept telling me: you can’t win enterprise market with AI. You need lots of human sales force doing sales calls, conferences, events. I’ve done almost no calls (only a quick demo call per lead). No conferences, no webinars, no paid ads, no events, no sponsorships. (We did a ton of it in the past). I’m over half way to prove them all wrong. P.S. about to close $300k/year contract that came inbound. — The moral of this post: look outside of mainstream saas (website builders; link in bio; analytics tools…). Look at the corporate software segment. Lots of disruption can be done there. Existing players are not capable of innovating this way; because the employees there don’t wanna lose their jobs.

@carlhendy Source ? :-)

Who in their right mind would pay some random person on the internet $100k for a no-follow link in the WSJ?

Does anyone really think that wirecutter reviews are unbiased? and not influenced by affiliate income? I mean look at this. It's well written. But are we supposed to believe that them missing out on affiliate income for returned purchases is the prime incentive for them to remain objective?

@the_zagician @JulianD_M @payloadcms @PlausibleHQ Here is the code -> github.com/digitalbase/pa… It's rough and would probably make sense as a @payloadcms plugin but don't feel like going there now Let me know if something doesn't work. DM's are open

@digitalbase @JulianD_M @payloadcms @PlausibleHQ Would love to see the code as well! Super interested in adapting this for a project I'm working on. Beautiful implementation btw!

Been enjoying playing with @payloadcms and @PlausibleHQ to get some stats right next to where we're editing the content.

@JulianD_M @payloadcms @PlausibleHQ I can send you the code (to sync plausible and add the fields). Haven't extracted it to a plugin because there is too much domain specific knowledge (like which collections are pages, path generation, etc...)

@digitalbase @payloadcms @PlausibleHQ Is it posible to clone the proyect?

@payloadcms @PlausibleHQ Every X hours content items in the CMS pull in some monthly statistics (using @PlausibleHQ API) and store that in a @payloadcms JSON field. Then I added a panel to every page entity in our CMS where there are quick links to GSC and Plausible together with some traffic numbers

@thms_clrk Webstorm has built in SQL editor. Another good reason to use a fully fledged IDE

@pablo_rothbart prezly.com

Drop your URL. Will send a custom 5-minute Loom over of an SEO strategy. 👇

We've been working hard on improving the @Prezly website which was long overdue. And while there is much more to do all the small changes have been steadily changing on-site behavior. Duration is up. Bounce rate is down We're still getting a fair chunk of unqualified traffic so not sure 1:30 minute is something to be proud of?!

@dvassallo @jdnoc I understand. But then the 8000 comments come down to 'should clickbait titles be allowed?'

@digitalbase @jdnoc My comment was about the headline not the review. Millions of people will only see the headline.

I find it really odd how many people came down hard on Daniel. The title is definitely sensationalistic. But “humane pin: I wouldn’t buy it” doesn’t get views. Are we entering the fake news era of YT? I personally believe the golden rule is the way to go. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” I wouldn’t want someone to bring me down like that so hard. So I wouldn’t do it to others.

@dhh We never fell for the it as it felt like virtue signaling. And looking back I'm proud we didn't

"Changing master to main changed less than nothing. Because nothing was or is ever enough in this arena. As soon as this word battle was won, it was just on to the next and the next (and the next)." world.hey.com/dhh/forcing-ma…

@chddaniel @euboid It's @mixpanel

@digitalbase @euboid Will do this too and see where it takes us on ThumbnailTest.com👀 Question - what's the tool on the right?

When we redesigned the signup page to include social proof (tnx Senja/@euboid) we saw a solid (+30%) increase in conversions. What else might we improve to increase conversion rate at rock.prezly.com/signup ?
