Standardization always creates temporary inefficiency as people adapt. Just accept that penalty. But sometimes the inefficiency is permanent; then we need to have correspondingly high conviction in the value of that policy.

Individual efficiency vs administrative efficiency
When to prioritize individual autonomy, and when to standardize for global optimization.

Damn, need to "up my game". Good for checking up on others as well. I love your idea

What is the name of that checkered square component? I would like to use it for my own projects.

There is no differentiation. Motion costs 30 dollars so I am making it for myself. Hate making accounts too. But I do find it bothersome to switch between all my productivity apps, so I may integrate a Kortex-inspired app into it and just make it the only app you will ever need for productivity.

To-do list + calendar that auto schedules. Just tell it all the things you need to do today + importance, and it lays it out for you and reschedules stuff you missed.

Are there any good online tools for background replacement? If you have a saas I would like a trial to use for my pfp.

Oops. I must have mixed you up with whoever the creator of Kortex is... 😅

Are you gonna make a Bluesky course like you made for X? Does Kortex let you make mindmaps? Is your aws ebook still up to date?

I have been using them for learning Elixir lately. Way better than googling your issue.

AI IDEs are great for learning. You can ask them to explain why there was an error instead of having them generate the code, or you can have them explain what line 20 does for example. Not just a productivity tool, but great for learning as well. #indiehacker #buildinpublic

I feel like the European model makes it easier to get into. With the American one, the only club you have is that of your college - if you can afford the tuition.

@marclou.bsky.social You failed by not being first to market with this

Am I a programmer now if I blame the language and do a rewrite of the same app repeatedly in something different? Surely no fault lies with the developer here 😅

Michel Mansour @saasmichel.bsky.social · 23/11/2024
After using some pretty advanced multi-level approaches to prompting and using the Windsurf ide, I have concluded that using AI for programming would probably be 100 times better if you could program yourself. So I got some fireship courses to learn to code, wish me luck!

Why .blue? Just obscure enough to not already be acquired while being vaguely related to Bluesky namewise?

Screenstudio for Windows. Transfer of functionality to online calling app so people doing remote product demos can have very good-looking screenshares. Just rewrote my early prototype in JS yesterday.

Currently rewriting my barebones mvp in JS as Python has just been a nightmare to work with. "Beginner friendly", like hell it is. #indiehacking #buildinpublic

Michel Mansour @saasmichel.bsky.social · 22/11/2024
Welp. That program I was so proud of getting a snippet of functionality out of yesterday has gone back to being unresponsive after further algorithmic changes that I refuse to roll back (crucial for quality improvements) 😅 Is anyone else doing better today? #indiehacker #buildinpublic
010
Michel Mansour @saasmichel.bsky.social · 22/11/2024
Oh. It is a wip 😭. Super early too, only yesterday did I achieve a breakthrough that took a key feature from unusable to terrible, and my goal with today is to bring it up to horrible before making it work just ok. Working on it as I am replying to you.

Michel Mansour @saasmichel.bsky.social · 22/11/2024
Put me in! bsky.app/profile/saas... An early prototype of a singular feature. It basically will allow you to have screenstudio-style screen sharing (not recording) while managing other parts of the product demo as well.

Sorry if that last bit was not clear, but it did make all the difference for me, personally.

Michel Mansour @saasmichel.bsky.social · 22/11/2024
Btw, advice on how to look at coding assistants from Meng To on X when he appeared on a podcast I listened to. You have to keep in mind that you will have to prompt many times, over and over again, and that it will not succeed on the first try. But being persistent and clear with yields results.

No tips for coming up with ideas yet, but if you are a founder with no technical expertise, 1. give an idea to Claude, ask for a high-level implementation plan, then give it to Deepseek (better than o1), ask it for a structured low-level implementation plan, then give 1 step at a time to windsurf.

I got this as well but it still got sent. It just allowed me to cancel the tweet during the loading phase. It was weird.

bsky.app/profile/saas... Screen shares that look like screen studio Autolaunch before scheduled demo with client, clear Windows desktop to only include apps specified important for the demo in the screen share. Real-time audio enhancements with Krisp The following video shares story on first feature

Gonna spend today doing framer tutorials, and then I will work on improving the recording feature I showcased yesterday. #buildinpublic #Indiehacker Is anyone working on something with similar functionality?

Michel Mansour @saasmichel.bsky.social · 22/11/2024
👋https://bsky.app/profile/saasmichel.bsky.social/post/3lbidaglu3k2g Early early prototype that I got working yesterday. Essentially, your screenshares with a client will look like they were pre-recorded with screenstudio and a slew of other things not ready to be announced.

Michel Mansour @saasmichel.bsky.social · 21/11/2024
They just tailor the download button for your os. But I would suggest looking into Codium Windsurf instead. A lot more capable as it is always familiar with your entire codebase.
