game recognizes game. dont let @dusveloper be so humble either, he is doing all of the same great things he talks about here!
@knowRowan Off the top of my head I really like @averycode , @luuv_us , and @thewillft. They really do show up everyday, are super friendly, build genuine connections, and demonstrate the kind of consistency and transparency that the founder/startup scene on X so desperately needs

"how do i know whats worth building?" you just post about it. i shared this startup idea a few weeks ago without thinking much of it. but a few people replied and said they would be interested (and pay) for something like it. so i built it. 1 week in this weekend and up to
startup idea: a chrome extension which hides AI replies on X. bonus points if it hides any post using capital hashtags or perfect punctuation.

finding time to actually build while building in public is tough. set aside time last night to push a new feature for my extension. detective x users should see it soon ;) but had to plan and cut back on other activities for the day. how are people balancing the job, the

dont waste your time replying to bots... even if they follow you they wont make an engaged member of your audience. filter out the low signal content automatically with:

there is no better feeling than seeing your project making a real change for other people. Detective X launched this weekend and since then daily installs have only gone up as more and more people hear about it. and we are making a real difference on X, battling the loss of
@thewillft Finally someone built something that actually fixes the feed instead of just complaining about it. been using it for a bit, my timeline feels like it lost 20kg of fluff.

people all over the world are fed up with the low quality content on X. enough of the "Couldn't Agree More!" and empty "advice" posts with no real backing. i built a chrome extension to do something about it. and im honored to see it help people clean up their feeds globally.

"but where do i find posts to reply to?" 1. the "For you" aka home feed. 2. keeping a core group you engage with daily. 3. communities in your niche. sort by "Latest". still struggling? drop a reply. im doing 50+ replies/day like this.

what kinds of low quality content am i missing? - used regex to filter out "lets connect" style posts. - trained a ML model to predict AI post likelihood. now im hungry for more. tell me the worst content on this platform and i will add a filter for it to my extension.

if you are posting a link to your project anywhere on X... you NEED an open graph image. it takes up more real estate in the feed + pictures are worth 1000 words right? here is a perfect example:

frustrations like these are exactly why i just launched Detective X. with the rise of AI we have also seen the rise of AI slop, especially on social media. a well written, human edited, AI post can bring value. but get lazy with it and you end up filling up everyones feed with
Am I the only one who thinks AI replies are obvious, useless, and annoying? I’ve been getting more and more of them lately on my posts.
