A lot of folks (including myself) are creating iOS apps these days. So... I created a FREE app store screenshot editor: appshoteditor.com No sign up needed. Just create your multi-screen horizontal screenshots -> Export -> Done Right now it only has the iPhone 16 mock up, but adding more today

The coder LLM isn't doing a good job. Time to pull out the big guns.

They knew if they let it slide, they'd lose the UI -- which is the key. Models will be commoditized as everybody's models improve over time. Important UIs of the past: - Desktop OS - Mobile phone platform - Browsers - Social network du jour

Want to set a deadline that you'll definitely meet? Give yourself a deadline. I just posted to my customers on my product's private Discord that v2.0 will be out in 7-10 days. Now, I'll move heaven and earth to get this shipped.

Does anyone play Big 2, Tiến Lên, or Dou Dizhu? Built some card games for fun. Link: bs.fyi If you do play, let me know if you notice any bugs!

They say products need to be launched again, and again, and again. I built Broadcast back in October 2024 (hand coded). It's an email marketing platform, and it's matured quite a bit.

Heart breaking to see this. Tailwind CSS is such a useful tool, and used by many. Its business model no longer works in this post-AI world, and their business isn't the only one. I've talked with several founders about how AI has killed their business. It isn't discussed openly, but it's real.

Added some charts to sendbroadcast.net Will be adding more visuals like this in other parts of the app

Got some work done tonight for sendbroadcast.net! Now possible to view recipient activity on email broadcast campaigns at the subscriber level...

Almost 1 release per day this week. I think I'm going to take Sunday easy.

Simon Chiu @geetfun.com · 09/12/2024

It's that time of the week(end) again. Just released v0.6.0 of sendbroadcast.net with a whole bunch of updates. And sent the 9th consecutive email to my customers detailing all the work that was done this past week. Tomorrow: Time to update the docs (with more detailed instructions, screenshots)

One of the challenges of building a self-hosted application is that it's hard to get error reports. Today, I'm working on a way for sendbroadcast.com customers to more easily report errors and send telemetry when issues happen.

Another way to look at this... "the perfect beta tester"

Building in public... Saturday evening edition. Creating the feature to rate limit outbound emails for sendbroadcast.com. Added a nice little UI here to let users know that their list might require multiple email servers, especially if they set a rate limit too low.

Just saw this over on Reddit and on X. Hetzner increases prices for their US-based cloud servers at Ashburn and Hillsboro data centres. Aside from the prices, biggest change is that the included traffic goes from 20 TB to 1 TB. Credit: x.com/alexellisuk/...

If you didn’t know, there’s a starter pack for people who walk 10k per day. Didn’t really qualify but Michiel added me and I told myself to walk more today so I wouldn’t feel like such an imposter. Seriously, bsky is a health app now 😂

This is the one I want to join. But I’m not there. Aspirational goal for me. Will bookmark and come back 🤞

You may not know this, but it take 3-4 clicks and a whole lot of typing to maintain these starter packs. 😂

Just sent out the weekly product update email to my customers using sendbroadcast.net. Yep, the product uses itself to send updates about... itself.

I’ll take a stab: Something broke around the house and this makes things levelled again. Like how I fixed my drawer with a 3d printed part 😂

Great work @norbertjurga.pl! Doesn't even require login 😱

Some bug fixes from issues discovered over night. Now onto some other business ops tasks and marketing...

I don’t know what I did, but I raised a kid who leaves this many unread messages for days. Note to self: Never text this one for help.

Releasing automation (DRIP) email sequences today for @sendbroadcast.com! Will update the documentation and push the new package for users to upgrade. Here is what it looks like to manually add subscribers (which can also be added via the API and through tags):

020

Simon Chiu @geetfun.com · 18/11/2024

Worked on @sendbroadcast.com this past week: • Rewrote the DRIP sequence logic • Fixed reordering the automation sequence steps • Added functionality to add subscribers to sequences And of course, like 30% more tests to the whole thing.

Add subscribers to Broadcast's automation sequence

Going through street view, I literally did a double take on this. Sometimes when browsing Google Maps, you see the funniest things people do. 😂

Simon Chiu @geetfun.com · 01/11/2024

Build and launched this evening... Added a LIVE demo for @sendbroadcast.com Check it out at demo.sendbroadcast.net • Demo resets every 15 minutes • Sending email and some other things disabled (for obvious reasons)

020

Simon Chiu @geetfun.com · 29/10/2024

Added Subscribers API to @sendbroadcast.com Now users can manage subscribers programmatically! sendbroadcast.net/docs/api-sub...

012

Simon Chiu @geetfun.com · 28/10/2024

Added a feature to @sendbroadcast.com this evening so that SMTP servers are automatically checked for connectivity. Goal is to make it easier for users to know if their connection has gone bad (wrong credentials, typos, etc).

99% sure the anime/gamers on bsky thinking this as tech X descends on here...
