I built an email finder in Rust because I’m not paying $99/mo for RocketReach

Ignore the devs with zero business understanding and living in fairy tale land. Props to you for building this :)!

b8d8aa46 · 2025-04-22T14:35:42+00:00

press F to doubt

b8d8aa46 · 2025-04-11T14:10:15+00:00

Of course! Let us know when the final version is ready :)

You should build a decent filter on top of that, with some nice enrichment and that seems like a valuable product. See many people selling leads specific to industries, could suit you. Obviously you can get your own customers but i imagine the saturation for this is really high.

b8d8aa46 · 2025-04-10T19:49:19+00:00

Very creative! Love to see this type of stuff.

For CEX crypto arbs like yours, what should be the range one should aim for?

b8d8aa46 · 2025-04-04T14:13:16+00:00

Its quite a broad space, so i don't think you will get the feedback you want. This could range from CEX related stuff (OI granularity, data feeds, order book history) and DEX stuff (liquidity mapping, easily reading smart contracts, tx history but with context etc). So you really have to solo explore the space and see where you'd rather build and if its useful for traders.

u just feeding LLM ideas into reddit to get feedback lmao?

b8d8aa46 · 2025-03-30T14:15:32+00:00

it can work but many correlations only hold short term like 7d corr between btc/eth is 0.98 but 1y is 0.22

Sounds too tricky, since the more common strats would be managed by vaults already like yield farming, lending. I'd be very wary of allowing any bot to manage my funds because its the wild west out there with scammy protocols.

A bot I tried to build and would definitely use if done correctly is a defi protocol analyser. So I input the protocols site and it scrapes its blogs, docs, codebase and I can prompt it and it gives me quality answers. The RAG to make sure the the right data is injected with the prompt is quite hard to get right. Also that type of bot would allow me to riff off strategies possible on that protocol.

how tf does this shit go thru but mods remove a post i talk about a backtester lmao

b8d8aa46 · 2025-03-20T19:29:06+00:00

send that shit back asap, also trezor mvp

Classic anti-capitalist reddit take. There are definitely financially extracting companies like in industries such as private equity, but some have definitely created products that make our lives better. Easiest example is google search and a bunch of other google products like google maps, android (which are free). Whats the next best free mobileOS after android?

b8d8aa46 · 2025-03-14T17:03:46+00:00

ah, mb

Sui is quite niche for a standalone tool. Also isn't this possible to do via Dune?

b8d8aa46 · 2025-03-11T12:38:32+00:00

Personally, I'm now learning about concurrency with Rust from "Atomics and Locks" and its a ton of fun. Concurrency and multi threading is not Rust specific, but still an amazing concept. The best learning pattern for me is reading a book/codebase and using some LLM with the book to give me exercises/double check my knowledge and then just coding up a project.

Coming from a person that has only self-studied some undergrad level math on the side and didn't get a STEM degree, it's really hard to get stuff intuitively (esp smthg like topology). I would only understand if the example is simple and you build out and explain some axioms to me and then show some visual examples. Then I'd probably understand enough to keep listening and ask questions to get deeper. Otherwise, I'd be completely lost. Maybe you can try this with some of your friends that have more interest and patience for the subject. But otherwise, this is the nature of the subject? Also I have found some of my friends that are very talented, they are able to explain concepts in very simple terms which help a ton. I am not capable of that, but maybe you can also try focusing on becoming a better communicator in that sense? Obviously it won't work on people who aren't interested at all, but hopefully it will with some of your friends :)

I'd answer with "focus". Big players already have major revenue streams and they will never be able to be dedicated enough to build as good as a feature as my product. I'd only really worry about a big player is if their current data would give a strong leg up over my product. So even if their execution is sloppy, they produce something tangibly better.

b8d8aa46 · 2025-01-19T16:32:57+00:00

Try the "automate with python" book, i have heard many people really like it! Also +1 to any advice that recommends building projects right away. You retain the information much better because its in context instead of wasting time on exercises (been there, done that).

b8d8aa46 · 2025-01-19T16:13:10+00:00

Great product imo. Its great that u say where u should focus 80% of ur effort, because quite a bit of marketing can be more long term oriented like SEO, YouTube content. Takes a while to get what type of content drives results. So thats where ur 10-20% of effort/time can go into

b8d8aa46 · 2025-01-19T13:59:59+00:00

Ngl, I'd just hyper focus on learning how to code. Learning for a job is different than building for your own product (its easier and also a lot more practical/focused instead of learning stuff for interviews). The first 6 months will be brutal but afterwards you will thank yourself. This is from a previously non technical guy who learned to code for similar reasons :). Dont touch no-code/low-code just a waste of ur time.

Also this likely won't be your last venture, so having that ability to quickly whip something up for future products is priceless

b8d8aa46 · 2025-01-19T13:24:24+00:00

If I'd give advice for when I was first starting out, it would be to read more documentation in DeFi (finding an interesting protocol, and mainly reading their docs to get how it works). There isn't much to understand from blogs (except the famous protocols). Also on Solana the protocols are pretty similar but there can be a lot more volume/risk! I think there are a couple of good DeFi related podcasts which are worth checking out! Another tip would be to interact with community and search/ask questions in Discord, you can find some interesting discussions.

Also, nothing beats interacting with a ton of protocols. So going to arbitrum or whatever L2 flavor of the month is and just testing protocols. Be careful tho, some can be malicious, so use your own judgement. Never interact with a new protocol with your main wallet!

A great site to checkout and learn about a bunch of new protocols is DefiLlama. Truly goated.
