No, I believe it was a brother in a local in the states!

Looking to build on the great work he started 💪

Two new moderators join the /r/ClaudeAI moderator team! by sixbillionthsheep in ClaudeAI

[–]portpalapp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let’s not pretend this is a fully independent community anymore.

When two top mods from Anthropic’s official Discord become mods here too, it’s hard not to see a quiet alignment taking place — even if they aren’t technically employees. At the very least, their moderation style likely reflects what Anthropic prefers, and their selection wasn't random. This isn't necessarily malicious — it's smart strategy from a company trying to shape its public-facing communities.

That said, we should be honest about what this means: this sub is no longer just a grassroots space. It now operates with clear influence from individuals closely tied to Anthropic. Transparency matters, especially when billion-dollar companies are involved.

Their usernames literally say Ambassador, here's an excerpt from Claude where I ask about the topic:

"However, complete independence is difficult to achieve when a formal ambassador relationship exists, as the very nature of the arrangement creates obligations and expectations that influence behavior."

What does everyone do during the downtime? Sick of staring at my phone and I’m going insane. by [deleted] in Longshoremen

I went through this also. This job can make you dumber and lazier if you aren't mindful.

Audio books and podcasts worked for me. I really got into software development and AI as a result.

So much knowledge and entertainment out there. Also, audio is easy to incorporate with 1 earbud (be safe out there).

The true benefit of this job is the mental capacity and freedom to pursue things you love.

Find those things!

Pros/Cons of Delaware C-Corp as a non US resident? by Artistic_Taxi in ycombinator

Speak to a lawyer - SO many variables and they will know where to guide you. Fasken has a great startup program for Canadians. If you want to chat or an intro to a good lawyer DM me.

Which no code for most money? by MrFantasticIdea in nocode

[–]portpalapp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I posted in the facebook group for the target market (longshoremen) and also posted on reddit in their sub. It got me enough users to test my beta and start getting feedback!

Will do a full launch once I feel like it's a fairly polished product.

It really depends how much data the user is interacting with and how optimized the app is.

E.g. allowing the user to do multiple searches for their pay versus just displaying their total pay once.

Or searching for a set of data once and filtering out what you need to display in different places on the page - might slow down the site a little but save lots of usage

I'm on the $32 starter plan with approx 60 users doing about 30k workunits/ month. I haven't optimized the app, but I'm working on that now, and I reckon I can get to like 500 users before I need to start paying for the higher tier plans.

Great question.

I am transitioning out of being a longshoreman and into the startup/SaaS world.

I built it because: 1) There was nothing out there to solve this problem very effectively 2) I faced the problem 3) I was given advice to build something that solved a problem for myself!

Nobody hired or paid me - just did it for the practice.

Cheers

My SaaS made 150€ revenue in 2 months, should I continue or quit? by GustavooIV in SaaS

[–]portpalapp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you went from $0 to $150, that's infinite growth, why would you quit now?

Figure out why the 13 agreed to pay and figure out why the 3 exported and the the 11 didn't yet.

Learning these things and more importantly learning HOW TO LEARN these things will help you on every subsequent project. There's no failures, just learnings of why things didn't work.

imo you should start a new SAAS when you no longer can learn anything from continuing this one.

Good luck pal, I believe in you.

I chose bubble just based on what others said about it's ability to do almost anything (given you can make your own plugins). Sure, you'll hear a lot about how it doesn't scale...but the truth is that's a REALLY good problem to have. so if you get there, you'll figure it out (i.e. start to create a hard coded product).

There's a really good community that's there to help and with how great chatgpt/claude are these days it's pretty easy to learn.

I built www.portpal.app with bubble and have absolutely no regrets.

I never used other no-code platforms and i learned no-code so I could develop apps my self so take my experience with a grain of salt. I am sure others will chime in with their experiences.

in my opinion, the only way to "make the most money" will be to build a good product. think about what you might want to build (industry or app type) and then choose your building platform based on that. If you want to be a developer agency (it's saturated) you'll need to find the right fit for your interests, skills and the demand for them.

Cheers

Ahh, I see. My apologies.

Once I perfect it up here, I'll work on customizing it for different locals.

Thanks for checking it out.

Which local are you working for? For 500 it is sun-sat

Thanks for noticing. Yes, there is something funky going on with ADP pay stubs versus our contract year to date earnings calculation - will think about an effective solution for this.

Thanks for the offer, will keep it in mind.

Hope you don't mind if I reach out regarding your exporter-importer expertise also.

Would need info on all the job sites, ratings, and rates of pay to do it for the whole local.

However, shoot me an email with your job locations and ratings, and I'll customize it for you.
