Mermaid charts in Cursor are a game-changer. I just typed a simple prompt — and boom, it generated a full visual of how my app works. No more messy docs. No more explaining the same flow 10 times. #cursor #developer

build with your users, not for them. their problems are your roadmap. #developers

My current content strategy is simple. stop overthinking. start posting. if i have a thought, i note it. if i learn something, i note it. if i build something, i note it. and i make the strategy on every weekend. #buildinpublic

"build a painkiller, not a vitamin." this is repeated so often it's lost all meaning. for me, it means finding a problem so annoying that people are already trying to solve it with messy spreadsheets or a dozen cheap tools duct-taped together. #startups

Hot take: you're probably overusing useMemo in React. it’s not a magic "make it fast" button. it's a tool for specific, expensive calculations. premature optimization is a feature killer. build it first. then make it fast if you need to. #developers

The only thing I type at 200 WPM while coding: git commit -m "" && git push #buildinpublic

Can’t believe this came from a single prompt in ChatGPT. Dropped the prompt in the comments #builinpublic

my production code still has: console.log statements TODO comments hardcoded variables Is anyone else with me? #buildinpublic

I feel it's much harder to introduce a new niche and get people used to it than to compete with existing players. What do you think? #buildinpublic #startups

is any consumer AI making real money besides coding tools for engineers? #softwareengineer

posting consistently on social feels impossible when building a product. #startups

metrics that actually matter for early SaaS: how quickly users get their first win how often they use your main feature are they forming a habit #buildinpublic

Anyone else with me? #buildinpublic

Why doesn't the system have a place for people with multiple interests or skills? #buildinpublic

A great place to start. Everyone has to start somewhere, isn't it? #builinpublic

find communities where your users hang out provide genuine help (no promotion) share your journey building in public ask for feedback (not users) #buildinpublic

We’re All Gonna Make It

How do I market my waitlist? #startups

*code quality is overrated for early-stage startups. controversial? #startups

content marketing isn't about SEO—it's about trust #buildinpublic #marketting

You aren't behind. You are exactly where you need to be to launch your SaaS, to understand this new language, or to build the customer base you’ve been seeking.

Same prompt. Two AIs. ChatGPT (left) vs Grok (right) - and honestly, Grok impressed me this time. Which one’s your pick? P.S. Grok was insanely fast too. #buildinpublic

Day 1 after cold-launching my waitlist via a tweet: 21 views 4 signups Some great suggestions from friends Tiny numbers, but I'm excited. Will start sharing across more channels.

The waitlist is LIVE! 🎯 We've spent the last 3 months obsessing over every detail of Tymelace - from the perfect timing of nudges to making habit-tracking feel like a game you actually want to play. All inside WhatsApp! Secure your spot now - tymelace.com #buildinpublic

the 10x developer isn't the one who writes 10x more code #developers

the 10x developer isn't the one who writes 10x more code #softwareengineers

the best debugging tool is still the humble console.log(). #softwaredevelopers

free users are expensive #buildinpublic

the 80/20 rule also applied building in public: 80% of your growth comes from 20% of your posts. #buildinpublic

just don't overthink, agree? #buildinpublic

Been a Firebase fan for years. Finally giving Supabase a spin — starting with the waitlist setup. #buildinpublic

The fastest way to solve problems is finding people who have solved similar problems. Be open and discuss. #softwareengineers

Talking to a small audience. Ask your market, What do you want? Start building! #buildinpublic

Meet Eon from Tymelace. #buildinpublic

The best wisdom is doing something for yourself.

Lol

Is it just me, or does finishing a long coding session without any AI feel extra satisfying? it helps me feel back in control #buildinpublic #softwareengineers

Stop romanticizing the starting point. Most of the greats failed again and again and again #buildinpublic

Developers agree? #buildinpublic

Consistency!! #buildinpublic

Best practices when you're stuck in a coding problem. Take a break and let your subconscious work. Look away from the screen. Explain the problem to someone else (rubber duck debugging). Google the error message or problem description. #softwareengineers

Just wrapped up the logo for TymeLace - our little productivity sidekick. Curious to know what you think 👇 #buildinpublic

Your network determines your net worth. Surround yourself with those you aspire to be and that give value to you. or alteast fill your timeline with those people. #buildinpublic
