Psychology is simple:
• low friction → habits form
• high friction → habits break

So instead of relying on willpower, I changed the system

I built a tiny Chrome extension to stop my doom scrolling on X 🫨

It blocks X and makes unblocking intentionally annoying...↓

Hire Me in Japan — overreacted I'm looking for a new job.

as Japanese i really do hope the tech community in Japan will thrive with the impact of ppl like @danabra.mov

btw i do recommend Fukuoka for a long-term stay Dan

It’s a moderately sized city, and the airport is very close, so you can easily get to Tokyo when u need

I made a free Chat with PDF app — you may think "oh, another chat with pdf app!?"

Yes you're right.

but I built it with Supavec (oss RAG platform) to inject PDF data to AI.

and you know what?

you can do the same very easily!

it's Christmas and i bought 2 domains

Join the waitlist 👇 if you're interested in the journey of building an open-source alternative to Carbon .ai 🔥

www.supavec.com

For the first phase (1 months), I'll focus on essential features:
- PDF & text file support
- Google Drive integration
- Simple API endpoints

As you may tell from the name (Supavec), I'm building it with @supabase.com

I've been building AI products using RAG technology — AutoRepurpose AI (YouTube repurposing tool) and Chatsage (open-source website chatbot).

These projects showed me the massive potential and necessity of good RAG infra.

I'm building an open-source alternative to Carbon .ai (RAG as a Service) — Supavec

Today is christmas eve but yeah i wanna post this.

After Carbon .ai's shutdown, I saw a clear need for a reliable, open-source RaaS solution.

i don't know how to tweet anymore

thx mate!

where is this table from?

this almost gave me a heart attack

holy crap Revolut

YoutubeLoader does not work on production environment. · Issue #6915 · langchain-ai/langchainjs Checked other resources I added a very descriptive title to this issue. I searched the LangChain.js documentation with the integrated search. I used the GitHub search to find a similar question and...

figured out that YT probably blocks Vercel's IP.

my take: always check the production frequently if it works as locally does (esp backend) 😇

(I'll share the GitHub repo tomorrow - it helps generate partnership emails for micro-influencers)

github.com/langchain-ai...

what happened to me today:

hacking around for a couple of hours to build a free email marketing tool for influencer marketing.

i built an API to fetch YouTube video transcript with @LangChainAI

it worked fine on my local.

it always failed on Vercel.

@supabase.com eats the backend

embrace different cultures and their constraints.

if you can't, then you should be the one to relocate.

having choices matters.

if all countries had identical cultures, policies, demographics, and religions, it wouldn't be interesting.

that's basically like having zero options.

it's natural that some countries suit you while others don't.

saw a japan youtube debate on if the country should change due to rising tourist complaints.

this seems absurd to me.

every country should be allowed to remain unique - that's what creates global diversity.

if you don't like japan, move elsewhere.
if you don't like the us, move elsewhere.

wait for me to build it

Lost in a late-night coding session.

There's something magical about watching your product take shape line by line.

Feeling that rush of excitement again after so long.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

After burning out, I forgot how I used to brainstorm and pick between ideas...lol

What's your process?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
