Supadata finally has a copycat... can't believe someone copied our horrible landing page 🥲

Please no. We could to get 27 more company types when what we actually need is ONE that works everywhere. EU-INC is our chance to do this right – once. #EUINC eu-inc.org/cta

I find it curious how AGENTS.md by OpenAI is exactly what CLAUDE.md is but without any mention of Claude Code

my capacity as software creator before AI: how well & long can i lock in writing code (avoid context switching) after AI: how many AI agents can i effectively run in parallel (max context switching)

I found a prehistoric screenshot of one of my first personal websites. Entries from March 2005. 20 years ago. I was 14. Sharing an update about some new apps I'm working on, and asking for feedback. I am here for the long game :)

for indie maker, an audience is a moat but can also be a liability if your customers come only from social channels, it’ll be hard to get your product acquired a while ago I stopped pursuing social and focused on distribution channels not tied to my personal brand detach money from time ✅

I wanted to quickly build a small project with Tinybird.co, thought it'll be a smooth experience I am giving up after two days of trying to make it work 🥴 the DX is just not there... I struggled with basic things like logging into CLI and running a local instance

just wanted to say that I’m officially full time indie making for 2 whole years now it was tough in the middle but now it’s great and I couldn’t be happier with my lifestyle!

yesterday I learned the hard way that having just one rotating proxy provider (even if reputable) is not enough today I have 3 different providers, with 1 min health checks and degradation notifications aiming for that 99.9% SLA for Supadata ✅

@dmytrokrasun.com shared with me that the playground is a hit at ScreenshotOne so I added one to Supadata too - but as an experiment! I want to know if a playground will drive more signups. if not - it'll be only for registered users. (I optimize for the number of signups, not interactions)

I love the fact that AI is replacing the coders this means that I can focus on doing what I like the most: creating products (not typing repetitive commands on the keyboard)

every morning I am a fisherman checking what fell into his traps over night night’s catch: 1 trial->paid in chatwith 1 trial sign up in chatwith 1 paid sign up in supadata 4 free sign ups in supadata “not too shabby”, said the fisherman

ok I might be breaking my long term belief and buying my first boilerplate 🫢 I have a very specific use case: API gateway key provisioning, metered billing, detailed usage stats, admin… TS, react/next, stripe, shadcn, supabase, betterauth anyone knows something?

someone tried to exploit my customers' chatbots over the last two days over 1500 spam messages trying to coerce LLMs to generate formatted answers but since Chatwith has Guardrails, the chatbots were like "Sorry, can't answer this question 🤷‍♂️" after two days without success, the abuser gave up 👌

every time I get a new subscription, I immediately detach & consider it churned (esp high ticket) it’s such a killjoy... but it's a defense mechanism I developed churn still bums me out though so it's not 100% effective anyone has the same? how do you deal with loss aversion in your business?

I’m surprised stage timers were not even once one of indie hypes we had so many copies of gif generators, ai photographers, chatbot builders… and yet all copycats are sleeping on Lukas’ $30k moment.js wrapper 😄

my new conspiracy theory: 1. Vercel lures me into Fluid compute with potential 85% cost savings 2. To use Fluid, an upgrade to 1 vCPU is required 3. My usage stays the same while Vercel charges me more for faster CPU we'll see at the cashier

quick notes to self after getting some idea replies to my problem: 1. hidden complexities of mature products 2. handling downgrades gracefully is building features for non-customers 3. maybe I can somehow simplify the offering to minimize this problem

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 20/02/2025

losing hope to get my 85% in compute savings from @vercel.com 🙈

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 20/02/2025

implementing feature downgrading in my saas is such a pain. what do I do if customer had 10 integrations but after a downgrade is entitled to just 1? randomly disable? what's your approach? I need some scalable ideas
