Gemini CLI just sat there for 4 minutes waiting for permission to "ls" while I was in another tab thinking it was still working. Made a Python script that beeps when your AI goes idle Free: github.com/davecandi/vibe…

@Bram_SaaS @shiri_shh I'm not entirely sure that paid acquisition is the right channel doe founders, especially those attempting their first 0 to 1. What's your take?

@DCandi83 @shiri_shh Good question it would be based on proven market psychology + best practices per pad platform. Meta is a different game then Google, it might not be a 100% accurate but giving people a push in the right direction could help already I think.

Vibe coding + good marketing skills is such a deadly combo.

@Bram_SaaS @shiri_shh how would that app work?

@shiri_shh I really ponder about creating an application that helps coders market better. I'm a marketeer by nature and know that when building 1 + 1 = 2 but with marketing it requires a lot of flexibility, creativity and human understanding

@ugo_builds see mine here: davecandi.com/ideas

How long is your list of app ideas? Mine is x2 of that 👇

@BhattBuilds @kabilanBuilds it is a tool to keep you focused when vibe coding in the terminal. it gives you a wake up sound when Gemini Cli (or claude code) have finished in the terminal. it's free at the link let me know if you try it

@DCandi83 @kabilanBuilds what's it all about Dave?

What you're building today? Share here will give you a genuine feedback!

Vibe Coders: can you keep focus while waiting for Claude Code or Gemini CLI to finish? I made a free tool to help, grab it here: davecandi.com/projects/vibec… let me know what you think!

@InProgress85443 it watches the terminals and makes a sound when it's time to go back

@DCandi83 Love the initiative! Waiting is tough. What features does your tool have to help with focus?

Hi Builders! Are you vibe coding today? I'm sure you have lost focus many times by waiting for Claude Code or Gemini CLI to finish. I made a free tool for this, grab it here: davecandi.com/projects/vibec… Let me know if you like it

@BThompson15944 @Layton_Gott Hi Bobby, can you post one of those signals for free, as an example of what you do?

@Layton_Gott this is literally one of the signal sources we scrape at shipsignal. app store reviews are goldmines for validated pain points. people telling you exactly what they want to pay for and nobody is listening

FREE business idea: Go to App Store… find popular apps with 3-star ratings. Read the 1-star reviews & build what they’re asking for.

@ideabrowser basic SEO optimization on the site; messages into Facebook groups of parents. started with Italian groups. our only sale came from a WhatsApp group of moms where my partner was in for a year.

@DCandi83 What have you been doing to market it?

@ideabrowser I have built this idea ideabrowser.com/idea/personali… here budibooks.com, but I am failing to get traction. how can I exploit the trend you have highlighted?

@CodeWizard stopping new ideas from stealing focus and actually do the marketing

Ok indie makers, settle this for me: What's actually tougher - coming up with your next big idea or getting people to believe your current one isn't trash? Because honestly, I'm stuck on both right now 😆 Send help (or coffee)

@kendalljayyzhxu 52

How many people still in the room ? 🤔

@CuriousMindsHub aren't 1 and 2 in conflict for the same hour?

the book the lessons

@EddyVinckk @levelsio @steipete what about bending spoons?

@levelsio @steipete this is the unfortunate reality of building in the EU you drown in regulation and risk-aversion EU is anti startup and anti risk anything that isn't a sure bet is too difficult to do here just look at the difference in startup funding $$$

🇪🇺 @steipete on why Europe was unable to retain him as talent: "In the US, most people are enthusiastic. In Europe, I get insulted, people scream REGULATION and RESPONSIBILITY. And if I really build a company here, then I get to struggle with things like investment protection laws, employee rights, and paralyzing labor regulations. At OpenAI, most people work 6-7 days a week and get paid accordingly. In Europe, that's illegal."

@Nikobon26 @levelsio @steipete they can't. not allowed to

@levelsio @steipete I mean, if someone want to work their ass off for 7 days a week it is fine by me. Anyone can do it in Europe, why not? The thing is people choose not to.

@joshsuggss @thesamparr hamptonians should coach non-hamptonians on how to get there

Joining Hampton was one of the best decisions I've made as an entrepreneur I have learned more about myself than I thought possible Gained fresh perspectives and feel understood. This isn't just a "membership" it's a new way of living as an entrepreneur @thesamparr has built an incredible community If you run a business. You need a core group

@vohvohh marketing and taste still to be replaced

There has never been a better time to be a startup founder than right now. Think about it: Five years ago, you needed: - A dev team - $250k+ pre-seed - Months to ship an MVP - A designer, a PM, engineers, a marketer - Service integrations Now? You have AI. You open Claude Code. You type: “Build me a fullstack SaaS with auth, Stripe billing, and an admin dashboard.” It writes the backend. It writes the frontend. It doesn’t get upset with you. It fixes its own bugs. It explains what it’s doing. It takes your feedback into account. You’re not “technical”? Doesn’t matter. You describe the product, and AI does the rest. You used to need 5 engineers. Now you don’t. You go to the store You buy a Mac Mini for $599. That’s your office. That’s your server. That’s your build machine. That’s your cofounder. That’s your design studio. That’s your data team. A $599 box has more potential than startups that raised $10m. You set up Clawdbot. It answers support tickets. Books demos. Qualifies leads. Writes blog posts. Clips content. Pushes updates. Does anything you ask. It doesn’t sleep. It doesn’t complain. It doesn’t need equity. It doesn’t get upset. It takes feedback directly. You just replaced a team of 10 with prompts. You launch on Kickstarter. You don’t need VC approval. You don’t need a warm intro. You don’t need to “know someone.” You ship a demo. You post a video. The internet decides. You integrate blockchain. Payments settle globally. - No banks - No chargebacks - Instant global scaling - Micro-transaction fees You automate rev share. You build programmable ownership. You earn on every single transaction. You’re generating revenue off the bat. You scale the company. You eventually hire a human team. You’re rich now. You have a hot wife. Your high school friends idolize you. The best time to be an entrepreneur in modern history is right now.
