Claude's deep research feature is better than the ones from Open AI and Perplexity in my experience. They've put out a fascinating deep dive on how they built its multi-agent architecture: www.anthropic.com/engineering/...

I've added a new feature to Scribbe: editable note titles. Version 1.7.0, released this week, gives users the ability to change the title of a note. Previously, AI generated a title for a note, & you were stuck with it. No more! This one was driven by repeated user requests. #buildinpublic

Finding Claude often performs better with its new web search tool turned off. Its internal knowledge seems more reliable than the mix of internal knowledge + web search results.

AI still struggles with getting lip motions right and being able to produce video with enough facial expressiveness to seem natural. The solution to deal with this - use b-roll or popups to cover the AI avatar's face where the expression gets off (example below). #buildinpublic #marketinginpublic

Working today on a new landing page for Scribbe & loving Bolt. It has been able to do 80% of the work for me. The design it came up with was pretty good (and responsive). Now it's just about polishing the code. #buildinpublic

Scribbe's landing page 👇 was fine for a quick launch, but it needs an upgrade. I can code it, but design is not my strong suit. Want something high fidelity with scroll animations, etc. Recommendations on designers or templates? #buildinpublic #marketinpublic

A recent announcement from Anthropic that may prove to be underappreciated. They open-sourced Model Context Protocol (MCP)—a standard for connecting AI to data. If the data in different silos can be connected to AI, it could be a game changer. #ai #opensource www.anthropic.com/news/model-c...

Did some research on how videos relate to ASO: 1. Videos in the App Store generally work better for games than for apps. 2. Videos can actually lower the install rate for an app. This needs to be tested thoroughly for each specific app. #buildinpublic #marketinginpublic

Neil Saduka @neilgoing.bsky.social · 29/11/2024
Have been researching Scribbe's ASO strategy. It seems like the keys for a new app 🚀: 1. Get icon, screenshots right 2. A new app won't rank for high traffic key words 3. Start with low difficulty KWs with some traffic 4. Move to higher traffic KWs as the app gains traction #buildinpublic

Adding a welcome email seq when people join Scribbe. I want something with a drag/drop bldr. Looked at MC, Klaviyo, Drip, ActiveCampaign, & 5 others. The problem is that nothing scales. After 5k users, they all cost $1k+. Anyone else running into this? #buildinpublic

Seems like newbies here often start with an intro. Mine: * Spent the first decade+ out of school working for hedge funds. * Quit that and locked myself in a room for a yr & learned how to code. * Building real products now. Here to share that journey. #Introduction #buildinpublic
