Being the “friendlier” platform wasn’t enough as it turns out. Although imo the “Popular with Friends” feed it’s pretty rubbish. Never see anything interesting there.

I agree it’s an issue - mainly I think because people are in a rush and give the most minimal feedback they can. Any ideas how to solve?

Blogs are for Google only these days. Just make sure the people that land there go right into your funnel... even if they don't read the blog.

Always 😁 Zapier consulting, teaching an AI course, writing tutorials for an AI edu site, two newsletters and a bunch of little side hustles. Latest problem I’m solving = UptimeRobot killed their free plan so I’m building myself a replacement. Maybe I’ll open it for others.

All I’m saying is that there’s nothing wrong with practicing on the ideas you have right now to build your skills for when you have an idea that might sell. You build 3 “useless” products and in doing so, get an idea for a useful one. Then it was worth it. And nowerdays it’s so much easier to do 🙂

I think people underestimate the value of just building something. Anything. Repeatedly. Just for the sake of honing your craft. You get inspired. Before though it took so long it was hard because you need to do something to earn money alongside. But now it’s much easier to just build and see.

Not yet but it looks useful. I might show it to Replit Agent and see what it can build with it.

The good thing about AI coding tools is that this mantra just isn’t that important anymore. When an MVP can be built in less than 1 hour it’s now totally fine to just test whatever idea pops into your head 😁

Just in the last few weeks… and uptime checker for my websites, an SEO site for fruit, a doc>HTML converter and a fun app to find local bands on road trips.

If you want a blow-by-blow account of using @Replit for a SUPER fun interactive video art 🖼️ project, check this out… I present: Voronoi Cam. voronoi.replit.app See the world through voronoi tiles! Watch it pulses in time with sounds around you… It cost me $9.25 (of $50 autorefresh credits) 🧵

Finally I asked it to find and display a YouTube video for each band. Done 👉 localbands.replit.app

Next, integrate with Perplexity to pull a list of local bands. Replit Agent got a bit stuck here parsing the band data from the Perplexity JSON response - lost $0.45 to fixing that. (I had it display the JSON on page so I could screenshot that back to Agent)

I broke the app into steps/problems to solve… Replit Agent does better that way. First: click a button, get long/lat coordinates. Second: use that to calculate nearest town.

Day 3 in Italy - I wanted to find some local bands to listen to. So I built an app with #Replit. It cost $1.65 and took 45mins. Push a button… the app finds the nearest town/city… lists some bands… plays me a YouTube video 🎧 #buildinpublic

Right! I really thought there would be some errors connecting with the API but it completely one-shotted it. Even the design is completely usable for a v1.

People feared the computer glitch would mean "the end of the world as we know it." Thankfully, Y2K didn't live up to the hype after years and billions of dollars were spent on painstaking preparation.

Y2K seems like a joke now, but in 1999 people were really freaking out

The final step… asking Replit to create comparison pages for every single metric + fruit pair combo. It nailed it in a single prompt 😁 👉 fruitcompare.replit.app

Didn’t even know I would do a pSEO site at first… just asked Replit to build something fun with the API and let it parse the content of the API docs. First, it made some ‘random fruit’ checker with a comparison tool on the side. I asked it to zero in on comparison.

First I found a GitHub page with a list of free APIs. github.com/public-apis/... From there I found one for fruits: fruityvice.com

Today I used Replit to build a programmatic SEO site for fun. It took about 15mins and cost $0.80. Compare fruits and their nutritional values. Here are the steps 👇 #buildinpublic
