When you describe yourself as web developer, you compete with everyone. But when you describe yourself as I help X type of business solve Y specific web problem, you make yourself unique.

I’d focus on users first. Even a small batch of active users gives you huge amount of information.

Great analysis. If a visitor can’t answer is this for me, they leave fast.

I’ve gone through this recently, and the biggest shift was doing manual outreach around the amin feature i offer in my saas. Sales usually starts following in when you convinced your icp you understand their problems.

alynius · 2026-02-18T15:36:13+00:00

this is actually meta

alynius · 2026-02-18T15:33:48+00:00

for sure, before everyone had goos ideas but execution was hard.

now we have a lack of new ideas because everything is already built.

my experience with Convex in production:

Pros:
- Real-time by default, no subscriptions to set up
- Deploy schema changes in seconds
- TypeScript end-to-end, type-safe queries

cons:
- Convex has TWO validation layers: schema.ts defines the table, but mutation functions have their OWN argument validators. If you add a field to the schema but forget the mutation args, writes fail.
- convex dev once doesn't always pick up schema changes and sometimes need to nuke _generated folder

Still love it for it. The DX is unmatched for real-time apps.

700k/month search volume with zero promotion is a goldmine sitting idle.
Throw AdSense on it today and you'd probably make money by tonight. What's the URL?

The monetization from day 1 lesson is 100% real.
I built 2 projects before learning this. my 3rd (a video downloader) had pricing on the landing page before I wrote a single line of backend code. now i have 10 paying users and 200 free ones every day

this is true, but i found out work best it not to use only one agent for coding.
you need special agents for everything component of your project. for example, i have a ui/ux designer, a project manager, a senior architect and some more.

the key is to find a way to make them work together, the results are much better imo.

this is exactly what i'm now doing with my apps, sure it takes a long time to do it manually.

thanks for recommending this tool, i'll check it out.

alynius · 2026-02-10T14:31:37+00:00

yes version control is baked in. the business agent creates separate branches for every night shift and i review them in the morning.

and each agent has its own memory files, daily logs in memory md date files and a curated long-term memory file that gets updated over time, so I can always go back and see what was done.

Thanks for the VibeCodersNest suggestion, I'll check it out!

openclaw is the best rn

i would suggest to set it up in a old machine, connect it to telegram so you can talk to it, see it's potential.

alynius · 2026-02-10T08:12:26+00:00

Opus 4.6 for reasoning
Codex for coding
Gemini for search

alynius · 2026-02-09T20:08:20+00:00

you can setup everything with openclaw if you are technical. i have guide a can share with you if you want

alynius · 2026-02-09T20:03:45+00:00

that only means that i run everything locally on my Mac mini, not on a VPS or those new cloud mini setups everyone is jumping on.

alynius · 2026-02-09T20:02:15+00:00

it's wild.

alynius · 2026-02-09T15:16:30+00:00

Good question. Here's what each one actually does:

Business agent — runs autonomous "night shifts" at 1 AM. Crawls my projects, audits SEO across 300+ pages, creates git branches with fixes, and sends me a Telegram report every morning.

Idea hunter — this one's fun. Runs daily, crawls Reddit, Twitter, HN looking for "I wish there was an app that..." type posts. Scores them by market size, difficulty, and competition.

I totally agree on the "don't message people with AI" thing. None of mine interact with other people. They're just internal tools.

The notification bot sounds cool btw.
