As I’ve been playing around with Claude Code and agents that can have context and reach beyond even the repo you’re working in, I’ve wondered if we should have tests written fully separate from the code available to an agent’s context.

The 11th Annual Brothers Matthews Great North East Disc Golf Tour of 2025 is underway! We’ve been doing this for… check notes… 11 years! Dawn to dusk. As many rounds as we can. Follow along for shits and giggles dub.sh/BMGNEDGT2025 I’ll add to this thread as I go! #discgolf #BMGNEDGT

I mean, here’s a moment to ask for random giving! My nonprofit (cafe to end human trafficking and slavery) is in a 24 hour fundraiser right now. Can you spare $5? We’re opening a whole network of them after 10 years in one location. LFG!! dub.sh/NHGives2025-...

Here are my 5 daily word games: - Wordle - Connections - Strands - Mini Crossword - Wafflegame We used to play them and share scores daily on the family thread (5 siblings, parents, and significant others)… then three of us got shouted out 😂

This is probably because of who I follow, but I feel weird posting anything other than my feelings about the Celtics/NBA or the state of American politics and government right now. Can I talk about building apps for Google Workspace without feeling any shame or guilt? Stay tuned to find out! 😂

I just had a moment’s realization that I’ve been “vibe coding” for years already… only, instead of asking an LLM for code that does a thing and then just accepting it if it works, I’ve been doing that with anyone on my team.

This is probably because I just finished watching The Lion King with the littles for 6th time in 2 weeks… but i keep getting this image of 4 years from now, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social stepping into office with the whole federal government looking like Pride Rock when Simba returns.

I remember changing our voicemail at home all the time growing up. And I used to change my voicemail maybe 2-3 times a year through high school and college. I haven’t touched it in 10 years. Sign of the times? Anyone else similar story?

I'm launching mini series called "Opinions, Deeply Integrated", focusing on tips and tricks when building integrations. Here's one about being a hero when scoping/designing integrations: buff.ly/4hga5nQ Would love your feedback/questions to explore! #buildinpublic #CraftingIntegrations

Okay, #buildinpublic crowd, what waitlist tool do you like to use? I could roll my own but I like social proof and not having to do my own captcha/spam prevention.

Also thinking about an “iPaaS Connector Generator”, where you add your api, and it spits out equivalent connectors to the major iPaaS players out there for upload/publishing (and instructions/automations to do so where applicable). Zapier, Make, Power Automate, Workato, Tray, Paragon, etc.

Sean Matthews @seanspeaks.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

Thinking about a product comparison generator tool. Basically a directory tool but with comparison charts so you can just create big tables of comparisons.

I just did a hand-off on a Zapier app build today and as I was talking through the app structure and docs, it had me wondering if I should just record me talking through a general app structure and give some top tips, things to know, etc. Would that be interesting?

Is it possible to build a successful open source project and NOT be on X? Asking for a friend. Me, I’m that friend. Asking for me. #indiedev #buildinpublic #twitter #opensource #OSS #COSS

Sean Matthews @seanspeaks.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

I kept looking for ways/tools to of keep track of my projects. Then I realized… I should just pop them onto my personal site and stop trying to find “an app for that” for everything 😂 At least until I’m doing something more robust than just “listing everything”. #buildinpublic #theresnoappforthat

2025... the year of action. But not before some lightweight reading! I've been a devourer of SaaS content over the years, and for various reasons I've got to stop analyzing and just go play the game. #buildinpublic (1/n)

@raycast.com is one of my favorite apps. Any other #buildinpublic folks use?

Sean Matthews @seanspeaks.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

Has anyone made a mobile app yet to wrap around v0 and chatprd to organize projects and make prompting/shaping on the go more ergonomic? Secondly… anyone figured out how to get v0 chats to save or remember the outputs of other chats in a project? #buildinpublic #indiehacker #v0.dev #vercel

Sean Matthews @seanspeaks.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

Around this time next year I’m either going to have a lot of apps that have a few users, or I’m going to be staring at the domain expiration notices and think to myself “Ahh, the great app mania of 2024…” 😅😅😅 Hoping the #buildinpublic crowds can help keep me both motivated and accountable!

I’m enjoying the Bluesky interactions, getting at least one interaction per post. But, wondering if I should be checking out X again? Or if Reddit has some active folks? I really am enjoying the layout of things like Circle and Skool but I don’t know if any really well managed #buildinpublic (1/n)

I’ve been working out the kinks in my full app from scratch development flow. ChatPRD to take an idea and workshop it into a PRD doc. Different tools to make a logo. Post hog to find a working domain. Then I just shop the PRD, logo, FletchPMMs messaging guidelines, and other thoughts to the (1/n)

Anyone have a spare invite to wip.co in the #buildinpublic community? Is it worth being in there? I’ve been enjoying Bluesky but it feels like discovery/organization drops off a cliff unless you lost a few times per day. Feel like a forum based community would let me float questions

Agree with you about the political flood. I joined before the US election and it was a lot better back then. I've enabled the US Politics Labeler and while not perfect it helps cut down the noise a lot. bsky.app/profile/uspo...

Contemplating a brand refresh for the agency. Logo vote time! See thread for the orange version of new v1 Any #buildinpublic fast reactions appreciated! #indiehackers and #solopreneurs welcome too. Heck anyone. Even random Celtics fans. (Or Lakers. You too. Go easy.)

Are we supposed to follow people back? That’s a lot of individual clicks. What’s the right thing to do here?

Sean Matthews @seanspeaks.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

I’ve figured out the initial limits of my knowledge and patience, trying to combine a few of the different packages out there and failing initially. - next-forge.com doesn’t play easily with v0.dev and the shadcn/v0 cli - Payload doesn’t play easily with a basic shadcn/nextjs app (1/n)

This… good game. Makes me mostly love the #Celtics. Lots of missed threes but they’re hustling and getting good looks. #nba

Sean Matthews @seanspeaks.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Logo choice time! This is for the app I’m working on for myself for now but generally speaking it’s to organize and share your stacks, playbooks, and resources, tackling all various aspects of starting and running a business or organization/non-profit. Basically stackshare but for errrrything

Someone’s playing my high school playlist at this Cafe right now. How to Save a Life (The Fray) Sweetness (Jimmy Eat World) Breakeven (The Script) And I’m forgetting a few I think. Gonna leave or else my hair will start growing back in and my beard will disappear.

Sean Matthews @seanspeaks.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

For the #buildinpublic crowd and others… is it mostly just software folks building and sharing? Or are there sub communities of people building in public in manufacturing, in starting a Cafe, in non-profit development (etc).? Second question- is Reddit becoming a decent place for it? And good subs?

This is an impossible question to answer but I want to ask it anyway. How many of the #buildinpublic crowd are solopreneurs vs working in a team?

Need opinions! I’ve spent 10+ years in integrations—300+ APIs, 150+ builds, 100+ companies. Now I’m crafting “Product Integration Strategy Consulting” to help teams refine strategy & prioritize. I can’t find anyone offering this—just platforms with guides. Am I insane or missing the right terms?

Sean Matthews @seanspeaks.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

I suppose I should introduce myself? After years of just looking, I’m stepping into the social fray as a soon-to-be solopreneur (agency co-founder is leaving) and open source developer/maintainer. I started a non-profit cafe to end human trafficking and slavery. And I develop integrations and APIs

Sean Matthews @seanspeaks.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

For the #solopreneur or #bootstrap or #buildinpublic crowd… is there any tool or platform where you can find a tool stack and corresponding playbooks/tactics that business owners to use run all aspects of their business? I’m thinking something like “Sales stack”, “finance stack”, “marketing stack”
