at this point I think I need to make my own game more boring. for productivity’s sake. bcz every time I add something and want to test it, I end up playing for at least 10 minutes. #gamedev #pixelart

idk why, but somehow the VS Code chat window performs the worst out of all the editors I’ve tried, even with Opus 4.5. What kind of sick system prompt are you guys using? Something like: “Please do not solve issues so AI can’t take over our jobs.” @microsoft.com

Every single day of the past three years, I spent building and trying to grow a SaaS, but about ~40 days ago, I shut down all my projects and my company. I think it was the most severe burnout I’ve ever experienced in my life, and its effects still haven’t entirely faded.

My indicators are: - being happy for no real reason, - giving compliments with a salad of words, - writing with perfect grammar and lots of long dashes 😄

I’m actually using the product on the page but its mobile only, I think this is confusing. I’ll keep your feedback in mind. I really appreciate your time. 🙌

Furkan Başaran @frknbasaran.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

Thanks for the valuable feedback, Alan. I intentionally disabled it on desktop because I felt this concept was a better fit for mobile, but it can be enabled with a single flag in the future. Also I’ll definitely add more use case ideas to the landing page. I really appreciate your time.

I’m doing something similar with @usemevo.com. Your chatbot can collect attributes by asking questions, and it always remembers those custom attributes the next time you ask something.

Furkan Başaran @frknbasaran.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

It's a tool that designs and publishes Instagram-like stories at the top of the mobile webpage. You can view a working example on getstorieswidget.com by visiting it with your phone. Stories have trackable CTAs for engagement. Can be used to promote discounts, testimonials, feature updates, etc.

codebases which continously refactor themselves is interesting idea

I just made SDK integration ridiculously simple. It used to require adding a target element, including a script, and an extra block to trigger the mount process. Now it only takes 1 line of code to add the Stories Widget to your website. Just copy → paste → done. #buildinpublic

I changed my mind, no trial, first month $1 is fair enough.

Also, I won’t be offering a free plan since the price barrier is already low enough. I’m curious to see what effect this will have.

Furkan Başaran @frknbasaran.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

I believe I’ll complete the user guides for popular no-code platforms and frameworks tonight, and then it’ll be ready. Price will be $1 for the first month, then $4.99. For the yearly plan, the cost is $60, but with a special launch offer, it’s $30 (50% off). We’ll see. #buildinpublic

I’ve been building a Stories Widget. It lets you add Instagram-like stories to any website. I’m planning to make it live tomorrow, or by Wednesday at the latest. (I hope) bsky.app/profile/basa...

Furkan Başaran @frknbasaran.bsky.social · 18/08/2025

Here’s how I look at it: • Would I use this on my own projects even if nobody else did? • Can I build the MVP in under 3 days? • Do I really like the idea? If I answer ‘yes’ to at least 2 of these, I skip the validation phase. 😄

Furkan Başaran @frknbasaran.bsky.social · 18/08/2025

I just tested the final state of the stories widget live on a website. I like the overall feel, but I need to load the next story earlier to prevent blink. I believe it’ll be quick, engaging, and built to boost conversions. Here’s the screen record from my phone #buildinpublic #saas #marketing

Furkan Başaran @frknbasaran.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

The initial version doesn’t include Instagram integration, but it’s something we’re considering for the future, along with video support. It currently only works with images. Use cases in my mind were announcements, discounts, or event links on a mobile landing page; testimonials also a good idea.

Done: - Domain bought - Landing page, web app and API live Next: - Docs & user guide - Final tests and announcement content I can't wait to share the URL. #buildinpublic #marketing #saas

I really like this idea and could see it be an effective way for testimonials or to show use cases of a product being used

Furkan Başaran @frknbasaran.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

Thanks a lot, Mark! Can't wait to ship it and hear feedback from folks like you.

Furkan Başaran @frknbasaran.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

I’ll make the initial version mobile-only, and the stories widget at the top will only be visible for mobile browsers. Because I haven’t liked the appearance in desktop mode, but I don’t want to spend more time on them. #buildinpublic

Furkan Başaran @frknbasaran.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

Yes. It looks like this. You’re managing the content and stats from the dashboard.

Furkan Başaran @frknbasaran.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

Okay, I've added the final feature. - Clickable CTA with URL - Tracking mechanism for view and click counts I won't add one more feature before launch. Time to tidy up things. #buildinpublic

Furkan Başaran @frknbasaran.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

wdym, the post or the product? the initial version is founder/indie-hacker focused, that’s where I want to start. from a customer perspective, it’d be fun to see discounts, new features, or interesting events displayed as stories at the top of a landing page. (I hope)

I’m planning to launch the landing page today. If this sounds interesting, you might consider joining the waitlist. Join Waitlist 👇 bot.usemevo.com/68a087e133ed...

Okay, here we go. I haven't even purchased the domain, but the MVP is about to be ready. The idea is simple: an Instagram-like stories widget for your landing page or web app. Engagement, the way people already love it. #buildinpublic #indiehackers #saas

25 years ago, I had no idea AI would ruin my profession. I was just… happy.

when I tried gpt-5 for the first time, it felt a bit meh. then my free cursor gpt-5 credits expired and I switched back to sonnet 4, and I instantly noticed the difference. I don’t think I’ll ever go back from gpt-5 anymore.

I don’t really like sharing things when they’re still in the idea stage, but I also know there’s no point in keeping an idea to myself, - it’s not the most original idea in the world anyway - so I’ll share it as soon as I finish the landing page, without waiting for everything to be done. :)

Furkan Başaran @frknbasaran.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

I’d been focusing on @usemevo.com for a while, but here we go again, after months, I’ve got a new idea, and I’m turning it into an MVP before next Monday. Let’s see how it goes. #buildinpublic
