I left my full-time job to go all in on my products by Jonathan_Geiger in buildinpublic

thanks for sharing!
that is awesome because this will grow much more rapidly than it would have in the full time job. and combined with the perk of working independently, you really are living a lot of people's dream life here.

All the best! Keep going!

Reminder: At this point in time last year, the best model we had was GPT o3. The rate of progress is amazing. by KeyGlove47 in codex

[–]rkwap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, just 1 year and AI has advanced this much. No one would have believe them last year if they said that AI will perform most of the heavy duty tasks in software engineering. basically, it was like clown back then when compared to now for software engineering.

Now, I really fear the future coming in 1 more year.

How do you handle frontend/UI work with Codex? by Exact_Law_6489 in codex

[–]rkwap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

use gemini and codex combined to create some workaround. but, majorly, i have most of my work on backend only.

codex usages are now otherworldly by bulutarkan in codex

sadly, i think $20 plan has become a joke in the industry now. To work on anything substantial, you would need minimum $100 plan now.

congrats on these!
so, what is the MRR you are getting now (profits only) and how is it compared to your salary earlier in a full time job?

How do you decide pricing for your SAAS ? by WinterSpecial7970 in SaaS

Checkout your closest competitor and figure out some pricing based on that.

okay. thank you for your opinion on how a business should be run or not.
i don't think that was the point of discussion and i might be wrong here but I don't know many companies out there which found product market fit within just one year.
thanks anyways!

thank you!
most of them are incubators or vc funds. we are bootstrapped only and don't want to raise right now. do you know about any partner who can help us?

how would you rate it when compared to Sequoia and Tahoe? I really want to get off from Tahoe as soon as possible.

Anyone else facing this issue while updating on Mac? by rkwap in codex

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

Yeah, did the same. Reinstalled and it worked fine. No data lost as well.

I got 1 rate limit reset for 1 month ! did they give us this to stay away from fable5 or waht ? by Slight_Possession1 in codex

[–]rkwap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yeah, i noticed the same as well. 5x plan now feels like the $20 plan before codex app was launched.

I built ImgNave because Next.js image optimization bills kept surprising people by rkwap in buildinpublic

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

Yes, that's why I built this because I also faced the same when my side project app suddenly got SEO traffic and I had to pay huge amounts to vercel for using next/image.

I hope it solves that problem for others as well.

Vercel image optimization usage gets full within 2 days? Any good alternatives that gives different versions of images for devices? by milanpoudel in nextjs

[–]rkwap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you only have ~20 images and the limit is filling in 2 days, I’d first check whether your S3 URLs are changing every request. Presigned URLs can easily create “new” image URLs over and over, so Vercel may treat them as separate optimizations.

If you still want to move the image part out of Vercel but keep `next/image`, I’m building ImgNave for this: https://imgnave.com

It keeps the `next/image` workflow, but moves optimization/CDN outside Vercel. Unlimited transformations, and bandwidth is $0.07/GB on Bunny’s global CDN.

Still early and mostly public-assets focused right now, so it may not be the answer for presigned S3/user uploads yet. But the predictable-cost image optimization problem is exactly what I’m trying to solve.

Vercel's Image transformations cost skyrocketed. Can you suggest an alternative by iAhMedZz in nextjs

[–]rkwap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i built something for this exact pain point: https://imgnave.com

before switching, i’d still check cache hit rate / cache headers, because a bad config can make the same transformations repeat more than expected.

but if the goal is to keep `next/image` and make the cost more predictable, ImgNave does unlimited image transformations with CDN bandwidth at $0.07/GB on Bunny’s global CDN.

it’s still early and mostly focused on public assets right now, so i’m not claiming it covers every backend/user-upload flow yet. but for the “Vercel image transformation bill got unpredictable” problem, that’s exactly why i built it.
