I think MyOG.social is going to be fundamentally simple. I'm just not sure who I should be selling it to #buildinpublic

I’m building a production-ready starter kit for people who just want to ship. #buildinpublic

Added completion feature for @-mentions to @theblue.social . It'll remember your recently mentioned accounts. #buildinpublic I think it's more important to be a user of your own product than ever.

Yes please

That doesn't sound so good for Mastodon?

I use Reminders app as my (GTD-style) inbox, but saving pages/URLs to it via iOS share sheet saves the URL into the URL field which is inaccessible programmatically, so I made a simple Shortcut to saved the URL (and only the URL) into the Reminders text hboon.com/save-urls-to...

Made a WordPress plugin for @myog.social #buildinpublic

TheBlue.social has: 325,555 clean ups 205,232 follow backs 23,406 alt text generations 89,390 starter packs indexed 82.7 average posts per user going to keep shipping #buildinpublic

Never forget that coding agents like Claude Code, Droid and Codex are great at using tmux: "My backend server is running in tmux 6.0 and it live-reloads". "Run `pnpm run test:watch` in tmux 2.1 and fix errors."

Weekly update: @myog.social: * Built and improved the OG image generator/composer * Improved OG Preview tool * Better system notification for usage * Cold emails * Submitted to directories @theblue.social: * Added @-mention and #hashtag autocomplete to composer #buildinpublic

Watched the 2011 film In Time?

Started @myog.social a month ago on Hetzner+Kamal and I'm liking it so far. It's cheaper than Render to start with, but I feel like there's freedom to explore things without being worried about cost exploding. My concern is whether it can survive hw failure #buildinpublic

I'm finding adopting skills very useful for things like implementing review+fixing in a loop without going into a real Ralph loop > fix+review

Adopting skills quite late; but it's good timing. Works in Claude Code, Droid and Codex now. Makes it easier to do "review+fix, commit, deploy when good". And it'll know what to do. Sometimes you need to test something carefully, sometimes you don't.

Old vs new. Making it more likely and easier for visitors to try @myog.social out #buildinpublic

I'll take the +1 to @theblue.social for now. Thank you #buildinpublic
