And $12 for a whole year! Honestly it's hard to beat.

Yeah no doubt. The RAM requirements with AI in the mix just continue to rise.

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 10/08/2026

Ah ok, that's hefty. Bet you're glad you have that now!

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 09/08/2026

Gosh how much memory do you have in that thing?

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 30/07/2026

Also worth noting that I am taking a more analytical approach to the marketing this time, with the help of posthog. To that end I'm making some updates to the UI today to test the effect on conversions in my funnel. #buildinpublic

Continuing to promote reviewful.app (changed the name to avoid problems later). Started doing outreach to dentists in the area. I've contacted like 30 offices, so far no responses. Also embedding myself more in marketing subreddits hoping to connect with potential customers. #buildinpublic

Nothing with confetti, but I did ship an MVP of a new product called ReviewSnap which allows users to quickly make social media graphics of their Google Maps reviews for sharing: www.getreviewsnap.com I'm more proud that I only built for a couple days, and spent the rest on outreach.

That's the hope! I'm also offering more personalized service to these customers, because they're in my town, and also hopefully to help entice them!

Today I did cold outreach to six med spas local to me with review images I created using ReviewSnap. 3 IG DMs, 2 emails, and a FB message. I also added a feature based on one of these so users can redact author names. getreviewsnap.com #buildinpublic

It's a bit more detailed than that, and I also do a lot of review to make sure stuff is how I want it, but this already feels much more efficient than before. ReviewSnap was mostly done in under a day. I'll probably write something up about the process in the future once I hone it.

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 22/07/2026

I've got a pretty good workflow for this too: Create and refine idea in Gemini, then hand off to Claude Refine technical and implementation details with Claude then create feature specific prompts for Code and Design Implement with Code, then send over Design for visual overhaul

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 22/07/2026

I'm trying this currently with www.getreviewsnap.com I've got to button up the conversion modal that shows up when users run out of downloads, but planning on doing outreach today or tomorrow. Also focusing on one niche for validation. For this it's med spas.

I'm taking a different approach to building this time. Now I start by researching complaints online aggregated by topic (I use Gemini for this). I take one topic and refine it into a lean MVP I can build in 1-2 days, the goal being to have something to validate with quickly. #buildinpublic

Hello 👋 Haven't posted in a few months, been figuring some stuff out. Tried my hand at a local startup, and failed. 😅 Thought a lot about what I actually want to be doing, and devised a better approach. Will post more later but I'm gonna take another crack at #buildinpublic.

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 20/07/2026

In the past I have spent way more time building. But I'm actually going to try to do that in reverse for the remainder of the year.

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 07/07/2026

I submitted a pre built whitelabeled mobile app to Apple, and it took weeks to get approved. The last submission took over a week with no updates at all from Apple.

People gatekeeping being on the board of a tech company is wild. Of course musicians should be represented on the board of the companies who dictate their livelihood. Musicians are the cogs that power the machine. The only reason they're not represented on those boards now is exploitation.

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 09/05/2026

Fwiw, I would rather have the money sometimes. 😅 But to participate in these bubbles and make money the way these people do is really toxic and disingenuous in most cases. Don't let the fomo get you!

110

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 09/05/2026

Those people just have money. You have something you BUILT.

210

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 08/05/2026

Agreed. Thinking about trying something different?

110

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 30/04/2026

I'm enjoying it too! 😁

010

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 27/04/2026

Looks like a great day to be outside! Did you run in the marathon?

110

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 25/04/2026

Have you tried Mastodon at all? I'm curious how engagement over there compares.

110

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 23/04/2026

Even then, not really tbh 😃

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 23/04/2026

The Dreamcast was my introduction to the Internet, before we were able to get a computer. But also Soul Calibur was dope.

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 23/04/2026

Man, me too. People who skip out on figuring out a complicated problem in coding by having their AI coder fix it for them don't know what they're missing out on fr. I'm not a puzzle guy, but sometimes coding really scratches that itch.

110

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 23/04/2026

Or code that you swear worked last night, but isn't today 🫠

110

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 22/04/2026

I'd say it's still a WIP! It may never be the same, idk, I never had much of a community there. It does feel a little...empty here sometimes.

110

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 22/04/2026

Why no framework for a longterm project?

110

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 21/04/2026

I only use Claude Code, but lately I have been having some issues with it burning through usage.

210

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 21/04/2026

I agree, I wish there was stronger regulation. You'd think given the pro-business vibes in Washington this would be the case, but I guess it's different when you're not being personally impacted by this sort of thing. Turns out the world works differently when you're rich and powerful! Who knew!

110

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 17/04/2026

Well said! Going viral is like gambling. Learning to market is the long play, and takes a lot of time and mistakes to get traction.

011

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 17/04/2026

Use a code formatter, like prettier, or something else which will automatically clean those up for you, along with other stuff. Also some IDEs do a good job of highlighting that stuff and how they connect, like VS Code.

110

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 15/04/2026

This is so very well said. Especially the bit about how you almost didn't act on the loudest dream you've had for the longest time, that really resonated. You're absolutely right, and it's an awesome start that you have something so valuable no one can take from you.

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 11/04/2026

Take notes, everyone else!

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 10/04/2026

I've never used threeJS. Is it good for graphical stuff?

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 09/04/2026

Do you mind linking to the post?

110

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 04/04/2026

A little when you can is all that matters! All those little bits will grow into something bigger.

110

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 02/04/2026

Happens sometimes when I do calls with people I meet on social media. Secretly I'm relieved when they don't show. 😅

110

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 31/03/2026

I'd love to get together sometime and just chat about your visualizer and how you market it and all that. Tbh I think it's only a matter of when, not if, this thing clicks and takes off. If you're into talking about it, that is. I just think it's super cool and just needs the right fit.

110

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 28/03/2026

I went to a show tonight, and all I kept thinking of was how much better it would have been if they had just used your visualizer! Some of the visuals were really mid.

111

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 27/03/2026

Honestly I wish I knew. It's probably wise to question everything and everyone you encounter here, and everywhere else on the Internet these days.

000

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 27/03/2026

The likeliness was based on first impression only. The accuracy is another thing altogether! Thank you for being a human. ✊

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 27/03/2026

Nothing wrong with looking up to fictional characters! I don't watch a lot of shows, but I'm always pointing to Tanjiro from Demon Slayer as a protagonist I want to be more like. Selfless, caring, supportive, brave, and never afraid to stand up for what is right.

110

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 27/03/2026

A reasonable concern for sure. 😅

110

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 25/03/2026

Better late than tomorrow!

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 23/03/2026

Just wanted to shout out that your content has been killer lately. Maybe you're not seeing the results you want yet, but I'm really enjoying the effort you're putting in. Hope you keep it up!

Ryan Bond @bondryanbond.com · 13/03/2026

Very exciting times! What's involved in creating the artist pages? Is it a simple process, or do they have a lot of flexibility in the customization?
