🚨DAY 1 - LAUNCH WEEK🚨's image 1.

NextMedal (Open Source)
We’ve spent the last year building a template that makes it ridiculously easy to launch custom websites using Next.js + Sanity, without writing boilerplate code or starting from scratch.

bolt.new Prompt, run, edit & deploy apps

→ Bolt.new looks great… until it doesn’t work
→ Databutton? Impressive, but fragile

If your app needs to withstand $100k+ skip them.

Use these tools to test ideas, not to power them.

💡 Inspiration, yes.
🏗️ Infrastructure, no.

My #1 product dev tip using AI-based builders:
Treat vibe coding tools as a playground, not a foundation.

They’re great for creativity, but not ready for scale.

→ V0 breaks with minor edits
→ Lovable skips security best practices

Do this instead:

🔹 Use decoupled architectures

🔹 Lean into AI-first experiences

🔹 Build with tools like Vercel, Next.js, and Sanity

🔹 Future-proof your frontend from day one

The web is evolving fast.

And the old stack just can’t keep up.

Please STOP building your business on WordPress or no-code site builders.

I see too many teams going this route to “move fast,”

only to redo everything 12 months later when it can’t scale.

Cursor might be leaking your credentials.

Now in this the scenario. You are able to access the .env file in the chat. So logically this is also sent cursor to OpenAI / Claude / Gemni via their API. Even though the code is not stored on Cursor, it is stored for 30 days on OpenAI and Claude.

🔹 Decision-making? Data-backed and instant.
🔹 Content creation? 10x faster.

The real skill? Learning to ask the RIGHT questions.

How are you integrating AI into your workflow?

40 hours. 60 hours. 80 hours. ⏲︎

The grind is real. But what if you could do MORE with LESS effort?

I use AI as my digital slave assistant for at least 4 hours a day, and my productivity has never been higher.

🔹 Research that used to take days? Done in minutes.

AI won’t do your job. But it will make you 10x better if you use it right.

Are you coding with AI ? 👇

🚨 Ignoring Multiple AI Models → One AI model won’t cut it. Use different ones for coding, debugging, and testing.
🚨 No Starter Kits → Coding from scratch slows you down. Start with boilerplates.
🚨 Quitting Early → AI speeds up coding, but success still requires persistence.

🚨 No Knowledge Base → AI relies on context. No PRD, no app flow? Get ready for inconsistent code.
🚨 Wrong Tech Stack → Some stacks work better with AI. Next.js + Supabase? Good. Random stack? Bad.

How NOT to Code with AI

Most companies fail at AI coding. Not because AI isn’t good enough, but because they use it the wrong way.

🚨 No Planning → AI doesn’t read minds. Without structured feature planning, expect messy output.

Because people don’t buy products. They buy confidence. Security. Belonging.

Sell the transformation, not just the tool.

Good salespeople sell features.
Great salespeople sell outcomes.
But the best salespeople? They sell feelings.

I used to focus on what my product could do.
Then I shifted to how it could change my customer’s world.
Now, I focus on how it makes them feel.

Slackbot Guide Learn how to use the AI SDK to build an AI Slackbot.

V0 is incredible. It takes your vision and brings it to life in minutes.

I’ve been using it for months, and I just came across something game-changing: a V0 Slack bot.

This is huge. Teams live on Slack. Giving them direct access to V0 within their workflow? That’s a gold mine.

You have to watch this if you are coding with V0, cursor or Bolt.

Without the right mindset, no amount of “culture-building activities” will make a difference.

Agree?

Creating a strong culture isn’t about Friday demos or after-work beers.

Culture is about people, their mindset, independence, and shared vision.

For me, culture means:
🔷Freedom to work from anywhere
🔷An international team with diverse ideas
🔷People who take ownership without being chased

I’ll break it down step-by-step:
🔹 Market research to validate demand
🔹 Product design—turning ideas into reality
🔹 Coding efficiently (without being an expert)
🔹 Marketing strategies to get noticed
🔹 Continuous optimization & AI-powered debugging

Let's go!

We’ll build an AI-powered cold-calling SaaS tailored for small and medium businesses in Norway—using:
✅ Cursor (AI-powered code editor)
✅ V0 from Vercel (for sleek front-end design)
✅ Grok (for competitor analysis)
