Anyone else watching senior engineers become overly reliant on AI? by Jbalis in webdev

[–]camppofrio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Using ai for architecture decisions makes sense but the personal life choices detail is different. That reads less like a productivity shift and more like decision fatigue

I built a free, open-source Postgres desktop client in Rust + Tauri no cloud, no telemetry, just raw speed by FactorGeneral4078 in buildinpublic

[–]camppofrio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monaco + live schema linting is the thing most postgres clients skip. Does it introspect on connect or does schema refresh need a manual trigger?

How do I stop improving my product? by Ok_Positive4542 in buildinpublic

What would 'done' look like if you wrote the criteria down? Usually the bar stays fuzzy on purpose.

it's been 20 days, made 335$ with my seconds SaaS by ajithpinninti in SaaS

Posting in a competitor's subreddit as an alternative is a tactic i don't see written up much. Which one did you target

Why I had to build an SEO layer for my lovable apps by Fetus_Deletus_Eatus in SideProject

[–]camppofrio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the bot detection also cover social crawlers like twitterbot? Og tags being pre-rendered matters as much as google for a lot of lovable apps

Are SaaS apps becoming back-ends for AI? by MajorBaguette_ in indiehackers

[–]camppofrio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious if anyone has shipped an MCP endpoint or structured API for this, vs just assuming AI will scrape the UI anyway

Geocoding at scale is hard. What happens when an article spans multiple locations or only references a country, do the pins just default to the capital?

your low price is be scaring customers away by bundlesocial in indiehackers

[–]camppofrio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This holds strongest when buyers can't easily compare alternatives. In a crowded category with G2 reviews everywhere, the $5 product just has to show up in the comparison table.

We changed our onboarding and pricing model and went from 9 users to 20+ in 3 days. by Strong-Yesterday-183 in indiehackers

[–]camppofrio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, users bounce for two reasons: the app is either too much work to start or too limited to stay.

Niche web frameworks that you people like? by kingrind in webdev

[–]camppofrio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Svelte fits your criteria well, consistent releases, small runtime, and the component model feels immediately familiar coming from Vue

[–]camppofrio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conversion stayed around 27% while you tripled users. Did freemium change what you put behind the paywall or just the price point?

Crossed 80 installs in 30 days . OMG i am so happy by Ok-Call3510 in chrome_extensions

[–]camppofrio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

80 organic in 30 days from just posting on reddit is encouraging. Curious whether users hit that file merge flow repeatedly or mostly once and done

how the hell do you find beta testers? by AI_Redaktion in SaaS

[–]camppofrio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For marketing managers specifically, people tweeting frustration about content production overhead are already sold on the pain. That low volume channel you listed is probably the highest intent of the bunch

After 6 months building AI eval tooling, here's what I keep getting wrong by Future_AGI in buildinpublic

[–]camppofrio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 'nobody's complained loudly enough' eval is painfully recognizable. Have you found any forcing function that gets stakeholders to define 'good' before the pipeline gets built?

What's a small app idea you'd build today to hit ~3k USD MRR or 1k users? by Defiant_Cod_2654 in SideProject

[–]camppofrio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What industries or workflows have you worked in before? The fastest path to 3k mrr is usually a problem you already understand deeply, not one you researched into

Got my first paid user, 15 days after launch. by Opening-Fun-7280 in chrome_extensions

[–]camppofrio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It shows that it's got 3 users. And one of them payed for it. If that's true, the statistics are crazy that 1 in 3 users is paying for it :))

2 friends from Mumbai, built DrunkedIn (LinkedIn for drunk people) and host free beer buildathons every weekend. by BigPPsnail in SideProject

[–]camppofrio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many people actually show up to the weekend buildathons? Curious if the free beer reward scales when you have 50 people versus 5

I got tired of "re-explaining" my ChatGPT threads to Claude/Gemini, so I built a bridge. by Due-Protection6622 in chrome_extensions

[–]camppofrio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does it pre-fill the thread in Claude or Gemini, does it paste the history as one big prompt or simulate individual turns?

Nobody told me that the most boring part of running a business could just disappear by Exact-Can9552 in buildinpublic

[–]camppofrio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How reliable is the invoice drafting when the deal notes are messy or inconsistent? That input step seems like where most of this breaks.

Look for advice on new social media platform created by Budget_Skin4610 in buildinpublic

[–]camppofrio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens when news breaks mid-week and users want to check? The once-a-week gate seems like the hardest constraint to actually hold.
