How do you market a technical tool to non-technical users? (Solo dev needing advice)

just launched my micro-SaaS, Query Garden . It’s a tool that helps marketers and data analysts save and version-control their SQL queries without having to learn GitHub. The problem is, because I'm a developer, I don't know where marketers hang out online. How would you guys recommend getting this in front of marketing ops people? I have a free tier set up, but I'm struggling with distribution. Any advice is appreciated! [link] [com...

Just crossed ₹5L revenue, 5 months after launching my Saas product.

Hi guys, I ve always seen this subReddit as a place of motivation for me, that someday I ll too have some numbers to post. Maybe today is that day? Context: I’ve built a WhatsApp Automation platform mainly for d2c brands across India and have couple of clients from Middle East. Not new in this field, used to sell some one else's platform for more than a year when last year thought of building my own (as the support and overall improvements in the other platform was negligible). Took matter...

Tim Tiah runs RM500K/month with zero full-time staff — one AI agent absorbs what used to take a whole team

https://reddit.com/link/1vndwo4/video/mdx21hziu5jh1/player The interesting part of this clip isn't the AI — it's what "zero staff" actually replaces. Client servicing, rate cards, contract negotiation, legal, finance: that's not one job, it's the org chart of a small agency, collapsed into a single named process. The credentialed ladder most people are still climbing — junior account manager, senior account manager, ops lead — assumes those functions stay separate long enough to...

Namecheap is currently completely down

Namecheap is currently experiencing a major outage following a power failure affecting its Phoenix data center. Web hosting, websites, DNS, email services, and other Namecheap services may currently be unavailable or disrupted. So if your website or hosting is suddenly offline, the issue is likely on Namecheap’s side rather than with your own server or configuration. Emergency maintenance is currently underway.

The attack surface of your agent

I've put a lot of work into the cybersecurity aspect of my agent, Lumina. There's a lot of guardrails, hook and gates, trust channels, and such to help prevent catastrophic failures. Running test after test and harness eval after eval. Last night, I got to test it live against a real threat in the wild... a website that had hidden prompt injections, commands invisible to humans, but machine readable, and directed at any AI agent that visited the site with explicit instructions. Full disclosure...

What's an AI trend that quietly died: and what replaced it?

What's an AI trend that quietly died: and what replaced it? I'll go first: generic "AI will replace everything" blog content. It peaked and fizzled because people got tired of being shouted at. What replaced it (for me at least) is boring, specific use-cases: "here's a script that triages my inbox" beats "the future of work" every time. I think the same thing is happening with agent hype: everyone's demoing, few are shipping something that runs for a month. What tre...

Nintendo’s next Fire Emblem has a bold new structure

Nintendo's first Fire Emblem game for the Switch 2 is structured in an ambitious way. Unlike the well-loved Three Houses, a strategy game that tasked you with pledging allegiance to a specific faction and seeing their story all the way to the end, the new Fortune's Weave lets you swap between four heroes and their […]

Microsoft is combining its Copilot apps ahead of a ‘super app’

Microsoft is finally beginning to combine its consumer and commercial Copilot AI assistants into a single "super app" interface, starting with the Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot apps. Both personal and work accounts will be moved to the new unified app, which recycles the "Microsoft Copilot" name but features an updated app icon. The single […]

Samsung’s $1,900 Z Fold 8 is still vulnerable to pocket lint

iFixit has provisionally given Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 a repairability score of 4 out of 10, which largely hinged on… well, the hinge. In its teardown of the device, iFixit found that because it carries an IP48 ingress rating - meaning it isn't protected against particles under 1 millimeter - dust and sand could […]

Rivian is finally getting a long-requested feature — and no, it’s not CarPlay

Rivian R1S owners, rejoice. Rivian has heard your pleas for second-row captain's chairs. For years, Rivian owners have lamented the absence of captain's chairs in the R1S, noting that the three-row SUV would be much improved with standalone seats instead of a bench in the second row. Parents groused that loading and unloading kids in […]

Does Google even want to win at AI?

Today on Decoder, I’m talking with Hayden Field, The Verge’s senior AI reporter, about a question that’s been rocketing around the tech industry for the past week: Is Google losing the AI race? That’s because last week Google announced a bombshell reorganization of its AI division, Google DeepMind. Jeff Dean, the company’s chief scientist, is […]

Wolverine on the PS5 made me care about Marvel’s mutant for the first time

Going into my demo of Marvel's Wolverine, I mainly wanted to try out the game's very bloody combat. And it is delightfully bloody. But after two-ish hours of slashing and stabbing (and parrying!) enemies with Wolverine's claws, I left surprised - despite no previous attachment to the character, I was deeply endeared to Logan himself.

This is Instagram’s new logo

Instagram has unveiled a new wordmark, moving away from the recognizable cursive typeface it's used over the last decade. The updated wordmark is a strange mix of half-cursive half-print that's somehow less legible than its predecessor. Like, that totally says "Instagzam," right? "The wordmark at the top of the app hasn't changed in 10 years, […]

I looked inside an AI generated movie, and the best parts were all human

Imagine a trio of bumbling, English lads who fantasize about becoming megastars while knocking back a few pints in a grimy pub somewhere in London. Picture the guys chortling and trying to one-up each other's idealized visions of the future with a series of increasingly glitzy fantasies in which their fame leads to access to […]
