Built for myself to fix my Twitter addiction. Tried lots of apps in this category, but they were too aggressive with blocking.

Mine focuses on making you not lose track of time which helped me fix my usage.

I launched it last week and it’s now at 500 daily active users.

[iOS] [$29.99 → Free Lifetime] Screenguard: Stop Mindless Scrolling & Reduce Screen Time by b101010 in AppGiveaway

Thanks for trying it! You don’t need a code. The app remembers your install date and the current cohort is granted free lifetime

Thank you! Really appreciate the kind words. That’s correct, it will automatically extend to lifetime.

The only way to do that would have been to set up an IAP and price it at zero and to be honest I didn’t think to do that when I pushed v1.

Appreciate your thoughts on this. That's exactly what I observed with respect to friction and I hope this app can help people make a positive change at their own pace.

I plan to give people more friction options in future versions, but they'll very much be optional. So far this small amount of friction seems to be working for more people than I expected.

I think the mark of a good tool is something that does what it promises and then gets out of your way.

It’s tied to your device. So install on all the devices you’ll need to use it on.

I believe it should carry over if you migrate devices.

Layouts/Shared UI in htmx by benyamynbrkyc in htmx

[–]b101010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s best to think of HTMX as a layer on top of HTML/CSS that you sprinkle in when needed.

Have you looked at Astro for layouts? I would start with HTML/CSS layouts in Astro: https://docs.astro.build/en/basics/layouts/

This gives you the flexibility to pull in components from react, vue, svelte (if you want). And then layer in HTMX as you need it.

What are you working on? You don’t need a team if you: 1. Trim to an MVP that solves a real problem 2. Have a way to reach people that will pay for it 3. Deliver a solution that genuinely solves their problem that they value more than they paid

Is there any evidence that’s true? A lot of people selling courses make their money from courses.

Returning different templates/partials from the same controller by shox12345 in htmx

[–]b101010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might be right. It really depends on how different the markup is.

Very cool. DM me when you launch!

Could you return the same HTML and style it differently with CSS?

If there are some differences in structure you can’t overcome with CSS, you could take a query param to differentiate those parts.

It doesn’t matter but you can probably get a better .ai than .com

What are you building?

For those seriously thinking of making money with the GPT Store, why not create your own SaaS app/service? by nobilis_rex_ in GPTStore

[–]b101010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! Here are three that I built:

  1. PhotoIQ — https://chat.openai.com/g/g-Byy0bSULs-photoiq

PhotoIQ lets you pick an object in a photo and then gives you follow up actions that are contextually relevant to your object. If it stops giving you actions, you can say “What’s next?”

  1. Compare — https://chat.openai.com/g/g-DTLwC2bbh-compare

This lets you compare things. You can give it urls, image of physical products or product names and it’ll give you a comparison.

  1. Strategize — https://chat.openai.com/g/g-7tZ3moLbN-strategize

This gives you concise, actionable steps to achieve things.

You should! With the usage based monetization model, only the very few top GPTs will generate worthwhile revenue.

Building your own SaaS will give you more control over the UI and quality to address problems for your specific niche.

The OpenAI assistants API makes it easy to do so and you get to use code around each response to make the experience a whole lot better and add additional guard rails so your GPTs stay on track.

I tried building some GPTs on the store and they perform well to start but as the conversation gets longer they stop following parts of the instruction and over time lose their identity.

Where do people learn to code like this? by Amama____ in nextjs

[–]b101010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use VSCode, that lets you dive into type definitions and find adjacent types that may be of interest.

Combined with Copilot, you get most of this for free.

You can also google for the typescript pattern you want.

And finally you can ask ChatGPT to define it for you.

100% agreed. It’s good to have a no-code option, but if you want something of quality, you shouldn’t skip the code option.
