Developer virtual meetup about modern search experience and rag applications.

Developer virtual meetup about modern search experience and rag applications.

One thing about me is that I love to learn and share knowledge within the community. Presented at my first virtual meetup this year with developers from all over the world, talking about all things Search and RAG applications. I loved the engagement and it was a lot of fun.

Great use case perfectly suited for some sort of RAG application. Youโ€™d also want to feed it your own posts to get a sense of how you write

Appreciate it, thanks! Iโ€™ll be looking into 3rd party auth integrations in a later phase once I start onboarding end-users. Iโ€™m currently focusing on the customer. Thanks for the Apple tip!

Basic auth for the asem platform! Coming soon!

Basic auth for the asem platform! Coming soon!

Finally happy with the basic user management and onboarding flow Iโ€™ve been building over the past number of weeks for asem! Now putting in place some final security measures!

The cyber attacks on DeepSeek is a gentle reminder to keep security in mind when building your MVP!

I definitely check out peopleโ€™s profiles before I interview them haha. They often check me out first! Hope it goes well! ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿฟ

30mins! Thatโ€™s the amount of time it took me to onboard a local cake business onto asemlocal.com.

I am getting close to automating this whole process so I can open it up to more amazing small businesses for locals to discover!

Keen to know if youโ€™re leveraging GenAI in your product. Whatโ€™s been your experience ?

Yea youโ€™re right, Iโ€™ve been using their llama models locally to plan for moderation on the app Iโ€™m building so Iโ€™d be surprised if the meta team arenโ€™t leveraging AI that way already. Maybe fact checking became too expensive or unreliable ?
The memes crack me up though ๐Ÿ˜‚

These Zuckerberg memes are getting out of hand ๐Ÿคฃ

Has any social platform really cracked moderation effectively that can satisfy 3 billion+ people ?

Thatโ€™s wild! Reported it for you as well. Moderation on open social platforms must be one of the hardest things to manage by the BlueSky team

Agreed. The flow is pretty straightforward but my engineering brain wants to address all the known corner cases so that I donโ€™t lose a customer through the onboarding process. I just need to pick my battles and ship

I too would like to know because SEO has been an after thought for me so far. Iโ€™ve just been focused on trying to build something valuable that people will organically share around, but Iโ€™m starting to learn from folks on BlueSky that thereโ€™s another game to be played.

07.01.2025 09:14 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Iโ€™m constantly battling between building the minimum features and the fully rich experience ๐Ÿ˜ญ

This user management flow has been a headache! Itโ€™s one I want to get right because I too love a smooth onboarding experience.

Love to see more people on our walking track this time of the year!

I think to myself: I might not see you again in a couple of weeks, but the fact that youโ€™ve made an effort is a win in my books!

Reminder to carve out time to take care of yourselfโœŒ๐Ÿฟ
