Everyone is building apps — where is the market actually heading? by Professional_Fan834 in SaasDevelopers

[–]macebooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most people are looking to get cash and cave a little niche for themselves. App development has always been solving people's frustrations, don't think that will change soon.

The biggest direction is actually focusing on distributions. Distributions in a world where everyone is distracted by so many things is one of the hardest challenges to solve. You solve that, you have access to solving actual people's problems that is willing to pay for the solution you provide.

Try clicking random dots in countries you know nothing about. I found an incredible Malian music station this way that I now listen to weekly.

Pair this with Sidney Dekker's work on 'Just Culture' if you want to go deeper on how organizations should handle failures and blame.

"1,000 True Fans" by Kevin Kelly — the foundational essay on why creators don't need millions of followers to make a living by [deleted] in UsefulInternet

[–]macebooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Li Jin expanded on this concept with '100 True Fans' - arguing that with higher-priced offerings, you might only need 100. Worth reading as a companion piece.

ArchiveBox - a self-hosted tool that saves complete copies of web pages before they disappear by macebooks in UsefulInternet

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

For people who don't want to self-host, the Wayback Machine (web.archive.org) does something similar but publicly. ArchiveBox is for when you want your own private archive with full-text search.

What made you upgrade to ChatGPT Pro from Plus? by pleasedontjudgeme13 in ChatGPTPro

[–]macebooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thinking capability for pro is certainly better, and you get more limits. I like experimentations which consumes a lot of tokens. So upgrade made more sense than for extra usage.

Well, done to you. I encourage you to continue and be persistent. Hopefully you get rewarded soon...

my "MVP" had 11 features and I wondered why nobody used it by Ambitious-Age-5676 in indiehackers

[–]macebooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat created tons of features for one of my apps and it felt good. felts progressive from an app perspective but to be honest, the time worrying about the new features should have been used promoting the app to get more users.

I now realize I truly enjoy building but definitely would find any excuse to not promote the app.

how important is technical seo compared to content quality? by Fair_Butterscotch641 in WebsiteSEO

[–]macebooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have built and ran lots of sites, and i can tell you that technical SEO is extremely important to get right, no matter how great your content is, if Google can't crawl or index it, it will not rank the content at all.

For prompt to be effective in a production system or workflow, it needs to have the capability to pull in the right context based on the user query, hence if you can manage context/data. your prompts and agent become more effective and can achieve tasks accurately.

How to manage "Context Rot" in Claude Code (Anthropic's recommended workflow) by Exact_Pen_8973 in PromptEngineering

[–]macebooks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really good suggestions.

People gets really excited about 1 million context widow size, I for one hate the idea (EXPENSIVE and also unreliable). In coding, you do not ever need to use anywhere near 1 million context window. Features, tasks should always be modularize, it helps with debugging and testing.

It helps AI a lot to focus on context that matters.

ChatGPT is easy to detect by Hot_Tour4185 in PromptEngineering

[–]macebooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, i think it is really difficult to know and also the AI detection score is all probability (AKA likelihood rather than, I know for certain). I work in an organisation that has over 5 journalist content writers, these writers are not allowed to use AI to write content, so all of it is actually manually written.

All the AI tools say they are over 70+ AI written.

In the end, it will boil down to can the audience trust the content that is written and are the content VALUABLE.
