Sorry I really should check bsky more often... to your question, I do use API, some I just use my sessions.
I ask ChatGPT to guide me through the settings of n8n :)

Still hard: messy data, security, cost, culture.

Future = ultra-long context + RAG cache + MCP agents, powered by AI-native knowledge graphs.

Which solution would help your workflow first?

Breakthrough 2 → Agent workflows: frameworks wire LLMs to plan steps, call APIs and loop until done.

Breakthrough 3 → MCP: a lightweight JSON/HTTP “socket” any tool can expose, so agents plug in without bespoke wrappers.

Early LLMs wowed demos but choked on real-world jargon.
* Prompt-stuffing hit context limits
* Fine-tuning hit GPU bills + data-privacy walls.

Then came quick breakthroughs:
Breakthrough 1 → RAG: let models “open-book”—retrieve company docs on demand, then answer.
Breakthrough 2 →

What makes you say it's getting more stable just by looking at the graph?

I'm trying to set up a one-click scheduling system using n8n, so I can plan all my social posts across platforms, including Bluesky, to go out at the same time on the selected dates.

This is playing with n8n automation last try

This is my automation test 4

This is playing with n8n test 11

Testing from n8n, posting to Bluesky!

Why do you say so?

You probably heard about the US stock market plummeting due to DeepSeek. 💥📉

Then I find out… DeepSeek is under serious attack! 🚨

How do I know? Bug reports started rolling in for quickviralnotes.xyz, where I’ve implemented DeepSeek API.

Wild times. Stay with fallbacks. 😅

Lol, I received some of these too… the most diligent visitors are our least wanted ones.

Thanks, your answer helps. Definitely the feeling is a mixture of excitement and trying to be realistic.

My second app is getting paid users on the first day I announce it, but I feel a bit unsure and worried that it's not quite there yet. Do you ever feel uncertain about the future of what you've created? Like, it's just pure luck and won't stay.

Dear builders, do you often receive feedback emails after launching your web app? I received these for my two products:

1. ... add your domain to Google Search Index now
2. ... your web can benefit from better UI
3. ... guaranteed subscribers...

Thank you for your insights Bryan. Your answer is very helpful for me to not get lost in the trend.

Am I sticking to an outdated style? Should I rethink my approach? #indiedev #buildinpublic

Here’s my recent (still unpolished) SaaS with a more traditional layout. quickviralnotes.xyz Would love your thoughts—what’s working for you? Do you prefer one-page designs or classic multi-page navigation?

A question for fellow builders and makers—Is the one-page UI design becoming the go-to trend for SaaS?

I’m so used to layouts with navbars, where I just click around to navigate. But lately, I’ve been seeing so many SaaS products with a single-page approach. I wonder #indiedev #indie #buildinpublic

Thanks for sharing! This is exactly what beginners like me like to see.

I’m not an SEO expert, but I know my articles can get penalized if they have too much of an “AI-generated” feel. My approach is: I draft my content with personal experiences, then use AI to refine grammar and flow, it works pretty well.

Thank you for the encouragement!

The Unexpected Lessons Behind My First App Launch And the challenges no one had warned me about.

After twists and turns, I’ve finally launched my very first MVP! It may not win any design awards, but I’m proud and happy to celebrate this starting point. Let me enjoy this moment for a few days! 🎉💻 #buildinpublic #indiedev #indie #startup

Great idea! I would love to see the results 👀

Lol what is this app?

Hey 👋, hope I’m not offending you by this question - are you a bot?

And yes I’m curious about #1 post!

Good idea! The drag-drop and sense of puzzle solving is already an interesting form of game among kids this age.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply! Kiddo’s definitely all in for Lego—it’s such a great way to inspire creativity. I’ve heard of Scratch and will try more on that, and now I’m curious to explore what Turtle is all about. Appreciate the suggestions!

Happy holidays! 🎄✨

Here’s a fun family question: How would you introduce coding, software development, or product building to a curious 5-year-old? (Think your child, nephew, or even the neighbor’s kid!) 😊

Thanks! Nice to see more people recommending it here.
