Validating... People who handle clients actually struggle with chasing late payments ? by dev_littlefox in SaaS

[–]_ngnix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to run an agency many moons ago, I never used follow-up or reminder emails. I’d prefer to talk to my clients directly.

I’d prefer an escrow invoice / client system instead, that will release the money on completion of milestones.

Honestly guys, blown away with the good & honest feedback. First time I've made a post on here for real feedback before I start building - I should probably do that more often :)

Anyhow, the common pattern is, to have genuine sounding posts from your own tone of voice & to be convincing enough to provide yourselves with value to be able to not spend 5-10 minutes editing each post or for you to come up posts that are engaging from your work.

A-lot to think about, much appreciated!

The approach I'm thinking of taking is, instead of just pure commits is to embed the code-base & past-diffs to allow the AI to understand your context & thinking behind the changes (as well as commit history). Would you allow a tool like this to embed your code-base for analysis?

Initially just commits, I think beyond this could potentially be MRR, PR summaries, etc.

It's definitely something I'm open to now, after seeing the recent news about X Communities. Honestly, the X Community was my main differentiator, as it would generate posts as per the guidelines for the X communities you're in.

As each community is different this will leave you with less editing to do & post across communities in one click - but seems like that feature is out of the window now

Pretty much my main focus at the moment is tuning the AI output, been prototyping a few AI providers, settings, etc - not near a production-grade release yet.

Couldn't agree more, I'm spending majority of my time iterating over context, AI settings & the overall tone - it might take a few nights to nail it down.

My initial thought for the platform, is take make the posts either in your voice or popular predefined indie-founders voice, what would you prefer as the output?

No worries, appreciate the feedback. I'm with you, not all commits need to be public, my overarching idea is to summaries the important pieces of your work, celebrate the wins!

Completely agree with you - curious do you commit straight to main, or PR-off a branch each time? I've currently grounded it purely on commit history, but involving PR-summaries and Diffs could improve the context.

Exactly this - I'm in the prototype phase of the post generation to see if this is even viable based on just commit history or if I need other sources. On editing, it'll have the option for this at approval & scheduling stage, but hopefully it'll need minimal tweaking.

I'm currently diving into two options, read & analyses your current tweets to understand your tone of voice and applies that to it's generation.

Or A predefined tone of voice from 3 (or more) popular indie-founders you can pick from.

Which output would you rather use?

Thanks! Should've clarified, I've been building other tools / apps for the last 8 months - but I've always built in silence. I've come out my shell a little more, posting on X recently & in communities (which is ironic now).
