NGKsSystems

Hello, my name is Gene. I founded NGKsSystems and I am a solo developer. I started this journey because I could not get a banner for YouTube that actually fit and displayed properly. I tried 100 different sites and apps, but none gave me the results I wanted. So I built my own app to do this seemingly impossible task. This was the first app I had ever built. It took forever just learning a fraction of what I needed to learn. In the end, it was a complete success. I was able to build something nobody else had. The app itself never made me a dime. The process of creating it however, lit a fire in me. cont. More on this story soon.

@DanielSmidstrup So true, it can be hard to get to that 5m, but that is only the start, 90% of that initial 5m is not what X monitizes.

X is still a real opportunity. But it is not easy money. Most people quit before posts compound. It’s valuable if you can outwork the noise.

@Guronnimo Use your conversion rate to determine if you are giving away money. 1,000 active users and 950 are free tiers, your free is too good or your paid doesn't offer enough to cover the cost of a subscription.

Founders, what percentage of users who sign up should actually become active users? Curious what a 'good' conversion rate looks like.

@Guronnimo Building very actively. Need all the contacts I can get.

@Guronnimo Both. One without the other are counter productive.

What's more valuable today? • A great product • Great distribution

@AKirtesh This sounds like either government work or mega corp.

Senior DevOps engineer handed over the entire DR strategy to a junior engineer. Reason? To teach ownership.

@omarvvvr False, why would I want to sell 10,000 licenses for apps that half work, but completely kill your reputation. Both are of equal importance.

Unpopular opinion: Distribution is more important than product quality.

Great work. I am doing the exact same thing as you. No investor money and no team. I am focused on desktop tools and a few other apps in areas I am interested in. Been learning and grinding for over a year. 4 or 5 are ready to debut very soon. Now if @elonmusk or Jeff Bezos wanted to help I would take it, but only to cover costs. Lol

I'm building an AI agent cloud startup without VC money and without hiring a team. After all, if AI is so great, why do we need those things? Follow along to see the journey. It's been six months but this story is just getting started.

@Pallavi_345 Coding window apps is much easier on a windows machine. Everybody is focused on cross platform as they should but windows users are by far the largest demographic.

Linux is better than Windows in many ways. Yet millions of developers still keep a Windows machine around. What’s the ONE piece of software preventing you from going all-in on Linux?

@james84_ I am just 35 or so away from the 1,000 milestone. Would be great to blow that away today.

@TheDesertForge @nelmagene2010 Thank You Nate, You are a real one, I don't care what they say about you.

@nelmagene2010 @NGKsSystems Love, and I gave a follow to your business.

This is the last time I will do this (unless it isn't). I had to deactivate my original business X page. I repurposed another page I has started years ago. It is the same @NGKsSystems as the other one. Please if you don't mind give this one a follow too. Like love or leave? 1948 Ford Anglia 331 Ford V8

2 of 12 After all the screaming, yelling, and crying, I still wanted to build something else. Enter the next story. I was trying to create music and videos. This was about a year and a half ago, and in that field, by today's standards it was still primitive. I would buy $50 worth of tokens and start generating content. The result wasn't good, so I'd generate again. Still not good. Generate again. Before long I was out of tokens and out of money. So I was broke and didn't even get the t-shirt. I tried several of the big platforms and got the same results everywhere. Pay for the attempt, results be damned. That's when I said to myself, self we're going to build our own. Not charge by the iteration, charge by the output. "No Bad Takes" was what I called it...

Post #3 of 12 "No Bad Takes" was a great concept, and it's one I still plan to pursue. I pushed through almost every challenge, and the application was largely complete. The one hurdle I couldn't overcome was generating long-form videos efficiently. Creating longer videos meant generating a short clip, feeding it back into the AI to extend it, then repeating that process over and over. It worked in theory, but in practice it quickly ran into performance and VRAM limitations. The technology simply wasn't mature enough yet. "I told you that story to tell you this one." But building the app taught me something far more valuable. I kept running into roadblock after roadblock. CMake was constantly delivering uppercuts. Build environments would randomly break. One day it was MSVC, the next it was CMD, then PowerShell. It felt like I was spending more time fighting my development tools than actually building software. I remember thinking, "Why does it have to be this way?" Was it just me? No, it wasn't. Developers everywhere were dealing with the same frustrations. Instead of trying to work around the problem, I started asking a different question: "Can I build something that fixes it?" More on that next

@TTrimoreau Dedication and Persistence

If everyone had access to unlimited funding… what would still make some founders fail?

Here is a great one liner for those using npm Remove all `node_modules` folders recursively (great for freeing up space): Get-ChildItem -Path . -Recurse -Directory -Filter node_modules | Remove-Item -Recurse -Force *******Use carefully.**********

@maconpatton I got you sir. Thank You

@NGKsSystems checking in

@ClarencDarrow @nelmagene2010 Thank you

@nelmagene2010 @NGKsSystems Followed you on your other page too👊

@Kingmar777 @nelmagene2010 I got you back Thank You

@nelmagene2010 @NGKsSystems Done

@Saas_addy You have to harness the power of all, each has their strength and weakness.

Which programming language do you think will be the most relevant and valuable to learn in 2026?
