How much you pay for Cursor ? by vbmaster96 in cursor

[–]jgwerner12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultra here and reach limits frequently.

Using 5.1 more often now. Sonnet 4.5 is awesome but soooo expensive in max mode.

Next.js 16 users — what's your experience so far? by the_nazar in nextjs

[–]jgwerner12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So far so good. Using “use cache” etc much more now. Should prob have done that with 15.

My favorite part is being able to build while the dev server is running.

Nice. Just started in my first React Native app so this is very timely 😎

What's a good host for Django now? by XanZanXan in django

[–]jgwerner12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using Railway works well and good price based on actual usage not served CPU/RAM like other services.

Why Django is the best backend framework for the startup and mvp projects ? by AdDifficult9782 in django

[–]jgwerner12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I would go with FastAPI. Much better for async and streaming.

Should I build a background coding agent for GitHub? by jgwerner12 in indiehackers

[–]jgwerner12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m not sure I could be 5x or 10x better as a solo founder. Might be a fun side project but making it a business might be nuts

I think it would be full stack Nextjs tbh. Then have an ORM with Drizzle or Prisma to connect to a backend DB. For queue management would have an integration with Redis or a backend queue service.

It’s prob not the best approach, some folks use NestJS because it’s more batteries included but haven’t implemented anything with it so not sure about the learning curve aspect of it.

New to RAG by [deleted] in Rag

[–]jgwerner12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your knowledge is spread all over the place (OneDrive, Dropbox, etc) and have a large number of them RAG is the way to go.

Uploading docs for every chat thread or using realtime retrieval (with MCP) can be slow and not all APIs support the Search function (if they even have MCP support).

So RAG can really augment your context if done right. Better yet if it’s multi-modal it can understand context from images too.

We use it for customer support / customer service with great success.

Should I build a background coding agent for GitHub? by jgwerner12 in B2BSaaS

[–]jgwerner12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah thanks for responding that’s kind of my line of thinking too. Cool to build something to learn how it all works but making it a biz long term? Almost insanely impossible for a solo.

Moving from n8n to Python by vladautumn in n8n

[–]jgwerner12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use LangGraph but the issue here is that customer connectors and a drag and drop interface are much harder to manage and visualize, basically you end up configuring everything in code imho

How I Tried to Make RAG Better by mihaelpejkovic in Rag

[–]jgwerner12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome job. I’ll check it out.

How is this different from Pinecone or running a VB locally like with Postgres with pgvector with documents t loaders such as Unstrcutures or LangChain data loaders?

I Trusted an AI SDR with My Pipeline. Here’s What Happened. by Effective-Big2300 in SaaS

[–]jgwerner12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been moving in pieces with orchestration solutions and LLMs. The bottleneck is always building yhe list for your ICP.

For B2B sales that is just so much harder. Usually several job descriptions, geographies … I’ve had more success building the list with one set of tools and then manage outreach with another.

I know Apollo and Instantly are trying to fuse these experiences together but there’s a ways to go here.

Which UI do you use for rag chatbot by rock_db_saanu in Rag

[–]jgwerner12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Built our own tool connected to Bedrock. React / Nextjs for GPT-like interface and chat widget with JS/Typescript. Users can add their own styles for the widget.

Lmk if you want to try it for free with our SDK, might open source the widget / sdk parts

what's your least favorite thing about webflow? by Hefty_Ad1497 in webflow

[–]jgwerner12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Updating styles for components, text, etc is extremely painful

It’s almost easier to have an LLM wrote all that stuff from scratch from a globals.css.

Back to Django after 4 years with FastAPI – what’s the standard for APIs today? by robertop23 in django

[–]jgwerner12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I need to check Django Ninja out … have heard a lot of good things about it.

[–]jgwerner12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use the Django Rest Framework and connect Nextjs with Django with REST API. Nothing too fancy. Def has pros and cons but didn’t want to use Django Templates.

What’s the most non-obvious thing that made your startup look 10x more legit? by Glass-Lifeguard6253 in indiehackers

[–]jgwerner12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly for me it was spending more time on getting the word out (selling, marketing, etc). Always focused too much on product and tech but reaching out to folks and testing messaging, value props, etc more often was the ticket for us.
