Why waste time testing when you can just get real users to do it in production #buildinpublic #saas

@ewalf.com you've got some sort of adware on your homepage. had to check on another device to make sure i didn't have a virus 😂

Implement a giant system with loads of side features before you validate the core idea #buildinpublic #saas

Would like to give a shoutout to @kulpinski.dev for liking every #buildinpublic post out there within 2 minutes day or night. Get some sleep man

My SaaS wasn't getting indexed by Google for 3 weeks because the homepage returned 500... but still had content which is why I didn't notice. It was some dumb #nextjs SSR issue #buildinpublic

Mani Vrondakis #buildinpublic @vrondak.is · 03/05/2025

Accidentally pushed a change to shortforge.ai that killed the production service every minute for 18 hours straight 😵 I was saved by not having any users so nobody cared. Sometimes no users is good #dev #buildinpublic

You can now post generated product ads to TikTok directly from shortforge.ai 👑 This thing is actually starting to become useful for effortless SaaS/product marketing. Going to finally put some time into getting it to produce even more engaging ads next #buildinpublic #saas #marketing

Mani Vrondakis #buildinpublic @vrondak.is · 27/04/2025

Added TikTok account linking to shortforge.ai which does... absolutely nothing. Next update you'll be able to post your product ads to TikTok directly from ShortForge! #buildinpublic #saas #marketing

Mani Vrondakis #buildinpublic @vrondak.is · 26/04/2025

Added a script generator to shortforge.ai making it even easier to create product ads! The product & output is getting better every day. I'm so excited for the future of this #buildinpublic #ai #saas

When my app had 10 users, I added hats by analyzing faces in user avatars (essential feature). That app is now dead. Should have marketed instead. #buildinpublic #memes

One step closer to automating TikTok #saas marketing videos. Added products to shortforge.ai ready for AI script generation #buildinpublic #saas #workfromhome #ai

Mani Vrondakis #buildinpublic @vrondak.is · 21/04/2025

Added a FAQ section and "what's new" to shortforge.ai. Boring shit but necessary #buildinpublic #saas #indiedev #dev

Mani Vrondakis #buildinpublic @vrondak.is · 20/04/2025

First post-launch update! I added end cards to shortforge.ai. Now I've built the video infrastructure, the output videos are only going to get exponentially better from here! ShortForge automates the creation of TikTok/Reels/Shorts product ads for SaaS/apps/games and more #buildinpublic

@ozasadnyy.bsky.social I'm trying to make a bloody mary with your app, it would be good if I could put how much of a certain ingredient I have (tomato juice) and it tell me how much of everything else I need, rather than number of servings

I just found a docker container has been running on my laptop for 2+ years with nodemon running at root, causing a constant minimum 95% cpu usage and 94c temps, that i thought was a cooling problem #docker #dev #buildinpublic

Mani Vrondakis #buildinpublic @vrondak.is · 17/04/2025

Launched a new product 🚀 The idea is to automate the creation & posting of viral TikTok ads so your product can advertise itself! Right now it just creates 1 type of video manually but I have big plans 😈 Check it out at shortforge.ai #buildinpublic #dev

Waited 6 days for AWS support to reply, only for them to say they will submit my request to another team. Bro I'm a single dev asking for a tiny increase is this really necessary #buildinpublic

Waiting for AWS Lambda to increase my concurrency limit before I can launch my new SaaS! #buildinpublic

Struggling to get reviews? I just came up with the best solution #buildinpublic

When you think you have a new #buildinpublic follower but it's just a bluesky sex bot 😫

Added 2 new modes and a new smooth AF mode picker screen to my AI video generator app #buildinpublic Try it: tosto.re/dreamstolife I should really make a website #ai

It's time to pivot!! Most people weren't uploading drawings to my drawing AI video generator app, so I'm pivoting to more generic AI video generation.. first up: kissing 😂 #buildinpublic #ai #app

Mani Vrondakis #buildinpublic @vrondak.is · 11/02/2025

Noticed a few people were starting a video generation and never coming back.. Hopefully solved with new notifications #buildinpublic

Mani Vrondakis #buildinpublic @vrondak.is · 09/02/2025

In January, I took an idea of an app that brings drawings to life to production in 2 weeks. It's the fastest I ever released something by far. Got my first $3 purchase 1 week later, and now at $116 in total revenue! Would love some feedback: tosto.re/dreamstolife/ #buildinpublic #ai #aivideo
