it's very hard to have a vision
when you have bills to pay!
yeah.. perception matters..
The normal people don't care about content, or texts.. they stop scrolling when they see images or videos.

Maybe just use it for learning. but, don't take its words seriously.
Because LLMs only have a limited knowledge - based on current technology.

Yeah, it's better to focus on One thing. and.. Avoid unnecessary distractions.
I mean.. One Goal: Make the Product Live as Soon as Possible.
bro, the dark reality is.. you have to sacrifice something to become successful.
Ai is Not Your friend.

Made some improvements for smooth workflow.
- Updated Copy Icon and button.
- Figured out thumbnail generation for all videos in the list.
Showing Thumbnails for videos wasn't that simple like showing thumbnails for images in the list.
The update will be live soon for all users. #buildinpublic

Update:
i forgot to update this in #buildinpublic - all critical and known bugs were fixed yesterday and the update is now live.
and.. any idea how to implement bug reporting and make it too much easier for non tech users to report bugs?
Does it run on Linux?

also it's Advanced - useful for marketing teams.
and.. sure I recommend plausible analytics. because it's open-source and better for basic web analytics.
It's One of the best Open-source Web Analytics Solution.

it was a critical BUG.
I have no idea how it passed the testing stage and got to the production.
Can you imagine the stress ๐ฅฒ
Yeah, now I'm thinking about writing an SOP.
How do you get the separate URL Structure in React?
Example:
1. example.com/blog
and..
2. example.com/blog/specific-blog-url
I thought it was because of that but.. i checked the source code and found out.. i actually didn't figure out the Ai Detection implementation. So, i never implemented it because it was too complicated (and an unwanted feature)
and.. turns out, it was just a bug.
[Fixing Bugs]
now I need to revise the changes.
but, the thing is.. i don't remember the exact changes. (and.. the backup is 2 or 3 updates behind)
Yeah, lesson learnt. now I'm fixing my own mistakes. #buildinpublic
Somehow i messed up.
that one feature update.. made the entire project unusable.
I thought implementing Ai detection by default would be cool. but, it was a disaster. now it's thinking that all the (real) amazing pics are Ai generated.

well said ๐
Every person's sleeping cycle, preferences and productivity would be different.
because, for startups.. it doesn't matter.
in the end.. there's only two types of startups..
1. Successful Startup.
2. Failed Startup.
in the end.. most of the startups fail.. because of a lot of reasons.
to become successful, i believe..
they'll do almost anything.
Yeah, seems like.. it is..

(Customer Acquisition Cost)
Example: if we spend $25 for paid marketing to acquire one customer, then.. why not give that amount to the customer and let them market our product through referral..
You got the thing, right?
Nice visual ๐ธ
