if you want to peek at the code, and help improve it, or who cares, it just does what it should. what random tool are you gonna build this weekend?.

my friend claude understanding next.js patterns + vercel's deployment magic + solid backends from uploadthing and turso. this combo is chef's kiss for solo devs who want to ship actual things.

this is the future i think - need something? build it in an afternoon. follow kaizen: ship fast, evolve if it's useful, kill if it's not. no more "we need 6 months and a team of 12" for simple tools.

what it does:.- drag files, get clean links (/i/abc123).- works on phone (has swipe gestures!).- github oauth or admin login.- previews for everything. took longer to write this thread than to build the thing.

no cap, @theo was right about this stack. everything just works. deploy with one command, database on the edge, file uploads that don't suck. the ai coding thing is getting scary good.

future is just-in-time micro apps and claude did all the hard work. built "bucket" - dead simple file sharing thing you can host on @vercel, @tursodatabase and UploadThing by @pingdotgg. idea to production in like 30 minutes because claude knows next.js better than i do

I think everyone is on release on Friday schedule, and it's frying Claude's brain!.

Free users will never pay. Paying users started paying before they signed up.

Tried to use Claude to illustrate my latest article. After few iterations I gave up. A lot of opportunity for a precise state defined vector illustration drawing apps.

RT @nibzard: cold outreach to developers about your ai coding tool? congrats, you just activated their bullshit detector 🔮 .

I just don't get it how we still don't have AI vector graphic editor which could create simple diagrams that we all need in our slides, docs, etc. I need a diagram making tool that I could chat with. Claude drawing svg files is not enough

.@dhh interview with Lex is just a gift that keeps giving, even my wife is now hooked: parenthood can be the source of your greatest reward and incomparable joy.

tl;dr: stop selling to developers. build something so useful it markets itself, then get out of the way. you're not fighting competitors--you're fighting inertia 🐇. what's your biggest challenge selling to devs?.

what actually works: activation through 5-minute value (no cloud required), community presence in niche spaces, metrics that translate dev usage into executive roi, and--plot twist--making it easy to leave makes people want to stay.

the uncomfortable truth? experienced devs might actually slow down using ai tools on familiar codebases. but surveys show most *believe* ai makes them productive. this perception gap is your opportunity--if you navigate it honestly.

but here's the twist--82% of github activity happens in private repos. you're marketing to an audience you literally cannot see. plus they're already using 2-3 different ai tools because switching is one vscode extension away.

(deep dive: .traditional saas playbooks fail because developers trust code, not content marketing. they value peer recommendations over your google ads. they're scattered across private slack channels you'll never see.

here's the thing nobody talks about: the ai dev tools market isn't one market--it's three overlapping universes. hardcore devs who smell marketing from space, experimental builders chasing the next shiny thing, and execs writing checks they don't understand.

cold outreach to developers about your ai coding tool? congrats, you just activated their bullshit detector 🔮

Developers don't switch tools because yours is 10% better. They switch when their current tool catastrophically fails them. And modern AI tools? They're all good enough.
