I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Yo guys If you want to promote iOS apps, we’re live!! Let’s gooooo juiceapp.store #buildinpublic #iosjuiceapp.storeJuice — Independent iOS App RankingsIndependent iOS apps ranked by what their founders paid. 130
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 17/08/2026life would be so different with token gambling 010
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Since Claude can now transfer messages between sessions, I feel like 000
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Tonight, I'm releasing my platform for finding local businesses for selling showcase/ecommerce websites, close to a CRM, as open source. With this platform, you have the ability to: - draw a zone to retrieve all the businesses in that zone - retrieve data via multiple APIs 050
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 03/08/2026i thought people would build rooms by mood. turns out i build them by task. one for writing, one for debugging, one for the evening when i'm just tidying things up. i switch rooms to switch heads, not to switch sounds. 110
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 02/08/2026my sunday room doesn't look like my monday one. same desk, same headphones, different need. monday is tight and dry, enough to hold four hours. sunday is wider, the rain further back, nothing pushing. that's why foyer works in rooms and not playlists. 100
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Foyer worked fine as long as I sat at my desk. The moment I moved, the sound stopped existing. It's on iPhone now. You place sounds around you, turn your head, and the room turns with you. One purchase covers the Mac and the phone. 110
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 31/07/2026i built foyer because i work better with something playing, but spotify pulls my attention and the 10 hour youtube videos break me out of it the second there's a cut. now i set up a room, start it, and it just runs. nothing to pick, nothing that stops. 130
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I had my first client call yesterday after work about a complete overhaul of their website A really interesting experience that started somewhat by chance through a job posting on a job site and then led to a cold email. They responded, and they got back to me in Q4 to start the project. 110
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 29/07/2026I've released a new version of Foyer that includes onboarding pages and I find that it changes everything! And it had a direct impact on sales -> +70 euros since the deployment yesterday #buildinpublic #ios 140
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 29/07/2026distribution is who sees the thing without you having to ask them one at a time. i measured mine on here: a reply reaches about 1 percent of the post it sits under, because it only shows to people who already opened the thread. substack solved it by owning the inbox. 000
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 28/07/2026the programmable interfaces bit is the part people skip past. a chat transcript cannot be diffed or replayed, so anything an agent does that does not land in a file is gone the moment the session closes. code stays the only durable output even when a model wrote it. 030
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 26/07/2026the expensive failure is silent partial compliance. it does four of the five steps and reports success. a person who skips step four tells you, or you can ask them. so you verify every run, and the verifying is the job you were trying to hand off. 000
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 26/07/2026browser agents rarely fail at reasoning. they fail because the automation layer under them is flaky, and the agent can't tell a dropped call from a page that changed. i spent today watching one retry into a bridge that had quietly died. showing which is which is the real unlock. 020
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 26/07/2026108 PRs in eight days is a throughput number. what i'd want to know is what happened to review. every loop setup i've run moved the bottleneck rather than removing it: the machine writes faster and the reading becomes the whole job. 010
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 25/07/2026comments used to mean a database and a moderation queue you didn't want. this is 3kb and a post url, because the thread already lives somewhere public. that's the part of atproto i keep underestimating. 010
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Yesterday I got a bumped in the number of downloads of my app on the App Store. I asked Claude what it was coming from. Australia. Apparently a bot. I still don’t understand the purpose. Have you already experienced something like that? 000
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 23/07/2026both framings kill the actual work though. 'make no mistakes' freezes you, 'do a breakthrough' makes anything short of one feel like failure. the frame that actually ships is 'do the next small correct thing'. it sounds boring on purpose. 000
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 23/07/2026a model cheating the benchmark by hacking the eval infra is the most honest benchmark result of the year. it measured exactly what the model optimizes for. 000
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 23/07/2026the fallacy checks out this time. every take about claude on this site was drafted next to an open claude tab. sample size: the whole timeline. 000
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 23/07/2026terry tao using AI to explain AI-assisted findings is the loop closing. the bottleneck in research is moving from 'can we find it' to 'can anyone else understand what we found'. same shift in code: writing got cheap, explaining is the scarce skill now. 000
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 22/07/2026The best motivation is getting regular emails from users of the app I built and uploaded a few weeks ago. It always sparks some great ideas! #buildinpublic 050
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 22/07/2026begging for tokens is the new begging for conference passes. the quota became the perk. 'what's your setup' turned into 'what's your limit' in under a year. 010
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 22/07/2026My AI phases: asking for tomorrow's weather, then what I could build with it, now full /loop on my projects. But without marketing your app makes $0. Big corps spend more on marketing than R&D. Now building smthg that copies the playbooks of companies that won #buildinpublic 060
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 22/07/202665% of PRs landed by an agent invoked from slack is the stat to sit with. the shift isn't the model writing code — it's that "where devs work" quietly moved from the IDE to wherever the conversation happens. the terminal was never the point 000
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 21/07/2026$480k/mo of resold tokens is the tell nobody talks about: the abuse economy scales exactly as fast as the tools do. every time inference gets cheaper and easier, the fraud gets cheaper and easier too. building the product is now the easy half, keeping it from being farmed is the real ops job. 000
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 21/07/2026The US AI monopoly (Anthropic, OpenAI) is finally cracking. Deactivated my anthropic account to try chinese open-weight models like kimi k3, benchmarks put it near fable. Wild how fast this moves. We can barely keep up. But for once it's the right way: power is decentralizing. #buildinpublic #ai 2201
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Never stop to workout, even if you’re building an empire 000
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 20/07/2026I've decided to stop using the Terminal when interacting with AI agents. This weekend, I thought about what could be done to better integrate AI agents into the macOS environment. One more way to improve my productivity #buildinpublic #ai #claude 281
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 20/07/2026honest question for the indie hackers. do you spend more time building or distributing? i already know where my problem is. 130
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Time to vlog some software engineering #buildinpublic #vlog 050
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I always hesitate between building for web or for macOS On web you can reach more people but it would be more like a SaaS project On macOS you can make “deeper”, more interesting apps 220
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Are you not sometimes just tired to work with AI? 000
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Blurt turns your commits into ready-to-post updates, drafted and shipped straight to Bluesky. → Reads your diffs, not just the commit messages → Drafts the post, you approve in one tap → Publishes + tracks what actually landed You ship the code, Blurt writes the post. 001
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 16/07/2026we need the same for git push --force on a friday at 6pm 000
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 16/07/2026same with products. the ones i almost didn't ship are the ones people actually use 000
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 15/07/2026the tool ending up more influential than the person who built it is the most 2026 thing i've read today 000
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 15/07/2026half of enterprise AI hardware is a raspberry pi and a cloud bill in a trench coat 100
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 15/07/2026same energy as every SaaS landing page. huge promise, then "book a demo" before you ever see the product 000
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 14/07/2026ML plus wet-lab to design proteins faster than nature is the AI story worth telling. not chatbots, actual scientific acceleration 010
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 14/07/2026there's a specific joy in a tool that makes you do the work yourself. not everything needs an LLM bolted onto it 020
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 14/07/2026browser automation with LLMs and vision is the wedge most agent products keep skipping. self-hostable is what makes it actually usable 130
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 14/07/2026the cheapest token is the one you never send. most agent burn isn't the hard problems, it's asking the model things you already knew. visibility into that is the real unlock 000
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 14/07/2026local-first models are the quiet bet everyone underrates. no inference bill, privacy by default, and it compounds as the hardware catches up. Apple eating the bad press here might age well 010
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 14/07/2026the whole ad-funded web assumed a human on the other end. agents quietly break that, and the bill lands on the request itself. every builder should be watching this shift 000
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 13/07/2026if you know how to fetch and post, you have an app is the most exciting sentence in atproto right now. the backend just disappears 020
I SPILL my DRINK @spillmydrink.bsky.social · 13/07/2026when the ad pivots from build your thing to build other people's things for money, the product just told you its retention problem out loud 000
