The tool I work at was originally born out of a partnership with a marketing agency. The agency supplied the first contacts and clients, and later we split off as our own company. That's the only reason we had real, big clients for years despite never having a proper sales process, companies like GymBeam, Ringier, and others in Slovakia. The tool automates promoting organic Facebook and Instagram posts into paid ads. Some companies and teams save entire positions worth of manual work with it. ...

Good afternoon SaaS comm. This is a sort of follow up to my previous post where I introduced what I built and opened up a tad bit (sadly ended up being removed). Here is where I am in my journey since then: In my previous post I talked about this desktop app I spent 8 months building. Long story short; It was such a big vision, but also went months on end beyond the initially intended release date, I am just super burnt out overall and have little interest in committing to consistent distrib...

I've heard this advice over and over for first-time SaaS founders, but I'm struggling to make it work. When I search for problems on Reddit or other communities, I usually find only a couple of posts, and they're often 2–3 years old. It's rarely a place where people are actively complaining every day. Am I approaching this the wrong way? Is there a better method for finding these communities, or is everyone using a different strategy than just searching keywords? submitted by ...

​ Looking back, what was the earliest sign that made you think This idea might actually work Was it user interviews, a waitlist, pre-orders, people asking for the product, or something else? Curious to hear real experiences rather than theory.

Ever had someone recommend an amazing movie and you tell yourself, "I'll remember that" ... ...and then you never do? That was me. My watchlist became a complete mess. Movies from Reddit, YouTube, friends, random comments at 2 AM... all thrown together until I couldn't even remember why I saved half of them. A week ago I got frustrated and thought, "There has to be a better way." So instead of watching movies... I spent the week building a website for people like...

Someone here told me this a while ago, but I didn’t try it until now and it’s been enlightening. The fastest way to learn what software to build is to deliver that outcome manually first. Every good product has a manual counterpart. Dropbox was a usb drive or email Stripe’s was sending invoices and collecting bank transfers Calendar was the “are you free at 2pm?” If you can deliver what your customer wants manually, you’ll learn what actually matters and where they get stuck. And t...

TL;DR ~10 old iPhones (iPhone 7 to iPhone 11), all running locally from my Mac, all targeting the US while I'm physically outside it. 2-3M views/month total, 30-40 posts per day. Content costs me $40 / month for 1200 + posts (regular subscriptions for LLMs) instead of the $0.5-3 per piece that tools on the market charge. Built with Python modules and settings files. No database, no SaaS, no cloud. Total spent so far ~1K for this setup and courses. Total build time: 3 months Everything belo...

Angela Nissel's latest book, Good Grief, Pass the Bread, Mom Is Dead, is my kind of memoir. Sure, it's a deeply emotional tale about caring for a terminally ill parent. But it's delivered with the sort of gallows humor that I often turn to to get me through tough times. Of course, that sort of […]

Android Headlines claims to have the specs and price for the entire Pixel 11 lineup. What the site shared basically lines up with everything else that we've heard in the lead-up to the August 12th event. The Pixel 11 is expected to get a $100 price hike, starting at $899, but will come with 256GB […]

“For example, in the University of Texas experiments, a participant listened to the phrase, “I didn’t know whether to scream, cry or run away. Instead, I said, ‘Leave me alone!’”. The decoder translated this brain activity as, “Started to scream and cry, and then she just said, ‘I told you to leave me alone.’”.”

Hi, sorry if this is a repeated question on this subreddit but I want to know what is the monthly cheapest reasonable AI setup for myself. Basically im a "full stack developer" yea its lost its meaning but anyways I have like 5 projects with a company which is react laravel based (each in their own project folder thus i use file path to call them). Im at the stage where its bug fixing or sometimes new integrations with the already linked 5 apps. My current setup is the $20 per mont...

Despite a lawsuit from xAI, a Minnesota ban on apps that allow users to “nudify” images can move forward.

Our blog grew from 84 posts to 1,360 in a day. Then I read one live page instead of the source, counted tags, and found two <h1> elements on 500 of them. Both halves of the code were correct. Their sum was not, and no test could see it. Where the second heading came from The post template prints the title from frontmatter: < h1 > $ { esc ( fm . title )} < /h1 > Every article starts with its own heading, because that is what a m...

We spent a decade teaching people not to click the phishing link. Now we've built agents that will happily take instructions from whatever's playing in the background, and we haven't even started teaching them not to. Context Prompt injection in text is old news at this point. Paste some hidden instructions into a document, a webpage, an email, and watch an LLM agent dutifully follow them instead of the user's actual request. We've had two-plus years of research, blog posts, and ...

🛡️ حارس ويب: رحلتي في بناء أول أداة أمن سيبراني عربية البداية أنا طالب ثالث ثانوي، وكانت عندي فكرة بسيطة: ليش المحتوى العربي بمجال الأمن السيبراني قليل جداً مقارنة بالإنجليزي؟ أغلب الأدوات والشروحات موجهة للمستخدم الأجنبي، وأي شخص عربي يبي يتعلم أساسيات فحص أمان المواقع يلقى نفسه يتصارع مع لغة قبل ما يتصارع مع المفهوم نفسه. من هنا بدأت فكرة حارس ويب (HarisWeb) . وش تسوي الأداة؟ أداة بايثون بسيطة، بواجهة عربية بالكامل، تفحص: 🔒 شهادة SSL — تتأكد إنها صحي...

New delays in the AI Act mean teams will be lazy in exactly the wrong place. The date moved, but the work did not. For those of us building agents in a regulated environment, the work of runtime proof has not changed. It is boring and specific: model, tool, policy, human in the loop, trace for receipt. The latest update of the EU Commission on the AI Act Overview (July 31) sets the following dates for rules and duties for the development and deployment of AI: transparency rules for AI syst...

A freelance project can look profitable and still underpay you. Suppose a client offers $300 for “a quick dashboard.” You estimate eight hours, so the job appears to pay $37.50 per hour. That sounds reasonable - until the real work begins. There is a kickoff call, a messy data export, two revision rounds, payment processing, project administration, and one unexpected request that feels too small to reject. The job takes thirteen hours. After a payment fee and a tax reserve, the cash you ca...

This is a submission for the Frontend Challenge: Comfort Food Edition , Perfect Landing prompt. What I Built A landing page for a family eatery that does not exist, where three grandmothers cook. Ouma cooks the food of Durban and the Cape. Teta cooks the Levant and the islands. Nonna cooks Naples. They share one long table and have never agreed on whose food is best. The premise let me put three cuisines on one menu without it being a demo of three cuisines. Comfort food is ...

Picture this: your 2D game started clean, a few sprites here and there. Fast forward a few months and you've got a folder with 200+ individual PNGs, load times are dragging, and animations are choppy. Sound familiar? There's a decades-old fix for this, and it's still the industry standard in 2026: sprite sheets. Instead of loading a separate file for every frame, tile, or UI element, you pack them all into one texture. Your engine reads a single image instead of hundreds — and that one cha...

Shopify's Open Secret: Every Store Exposes /products.json Build in public: how I turned a 10-line trick into a working Shopify scraper — no login, no CAPTCHA, no anti-bot. If you've ever tried scraping an e-commerce site, you know the drill: Cloudflare walls, CAPTCHAs, session tokens, cat-and-mouse games with anti-bot teams. Then I discovered that most Shopify stores hand you their entire product catalog on a silver platter. The trick Every Shopify store has a pu...

Disclosure: I build VibeLing , a vocabulary app. This post is about the scheduler inside it — what it does, what we deliberately didn't build, and the thing that broke once real people started using it. Every spaced repetition app has one function at its core: given a word and everything that has happened to it so far, return a date. Show it again on that date. Everything else — the card UI, the audio, the streak counter — sits on top of that one decision. We got that function wrong in a...

Hacker News never rechecks a link. A story submitted in 2012 keeps its points, its comment thread and its URL forever. The site will happily send you to that URL in 2026 whether or not anything is still there. I wanted a base rate for that, specifically for HN rather than for the web in general, so I wrote a checker and pointed it at the archive. The numbers below are what it produced. What I measured Everything here comes from two official APIs. The tool reads hacker-news...

For months, my resume was a list of things I had touched. React. Java. SQL. Docker. All true, all useless. I sent it out. Nothing came back. Not rejections — silence, which is worse, because a rejection at least tells you someone read the thing. Then I rewrote it. Same person, same internship, same side project, same six months of work. The second version got interviews, and eventually the offer from Oracle. Nothing about me changed. What changed was that the second resume made a claim,...

This is an English translation of my original article on Qiita . My Expo app occasionally stayed on the splash screen when it was launched by tapping a push notification from a terminated state. Opening the app normally worked. Tapping a notification after the app had already started also worked. The splash screen was not the cause. Two navigation operations were competing during startup. Authentication and notification navigation ran together The authenticated layout ch...
