Update: Low volume, very few isolated bugs, and mostly general questions. Considering we have 14K paying customers and hundreds of thousands of free users and visitors, this shows we've done a great job building a self-sustainable platform. Couldn't be any prouder!

For the next 4 hours, I'll personally be answering customer queries at Publer. Something I haven't done in years. Partly to cover for a team member, but mostly to reconnect with customers and better understand the volume and FAQs. Feel free to say 👋🏻 through @publer.com's live chat.

Outrank has finally introduced an 8 articles/mo plan 👏🏻 * 30 articles/mo is an overkill imo * Now I can finally put it to use for Linkie's blog, and if all goes well, Publer's too. Any recommendations? How to get the best out of Outrank?

Oftentimes, success is linked to hard work, persistence, resilience, etc. I used to think the same, but the older I get, the more I realize that I was simply:

1K+ coffee buyers. $10K+ that has gone solely towards team retreats & perks. The internet is simply amazing! buymeacoffee.com/publer

Not sure if this is a flex, but I still haven't fired anyone because of AI.

Linkie is growing! 2,453 profiles, all organically 🙇🏻 10,875 more will be added once Linkie is fully integrated as @publer.com's link-in-bio solution this summer. To prepare for the influx of support requests, I just hired @linkie.bio's first customer support representative 🙌🏻

When Publer went bankrupt in 2018, inspired by this handwritten note from MJ, I stepped away from social life to rebuild in silence and isolation. No social media, no interviews, no events. Just researching, iterating, and building. In 2020, Publer finally broke through, and the rest is HIStory.

GPT Image 2 is insanely smart and detail-oriented, even if you give a basic prompt such as Mustang in Gjirokaster 🤯

F**k the media! Go and watch on the biggest screen the rise of the shiniest star to ever moonwalk the face of the earth. Looking forward to part 2 🧤

Why does ice cream in Italy taste so ridiculously good? What's that one secret ingredient that no other country seems able to replicate? I've traveled all across Italy and can't recall a single mediocre scoop.

Life outside AI

Some roles to transition from and to in the AI era: - UI/UX designer ➜ Product owner - Front/back/mobile developer ➜ Fullstack ➜ Software architect - Marketing specialist ➜ Marketing generalist - Customer support agent ➜ Head of Support

Does any site even pay for this?

UI/UX will never be the same again! I gave Claude Design a spin this morning, and within minutes, it modernized Kibo's interface (check 1st comment). I have yet to try passing this prototype over to Claude Code for implementation, but from the looks of it, SaaS will never be the same again, either

Update: reached out to both; only PayPro Global responded. They had already given me better pricing than Paddle for transactions greater than $50. Their VP of Sales just gave me better pricing for transactions under $50 (our average amount). So @payproglobal.bsky.social 1, Paddle 0.

It's been 6 years since I took a vacation longer than one week 🥲 No wonder @marclou.bsky.social and more choose to indie hack (forever) 🫡

10K+ karma points on Reddit! > Spot a trending/hot topic > Be the first to share it on a popular subreddit > Watch it go viral

Reality check: vibe coding = huge technical debt. I'm relying heavily on Claude Code to build Kibo. As an assistant, it's great, but I cannot give it full autonomy yet. Despite having access to the entire codebase and enough context, Claude recently made some rookie mistakes:

First update of the quarter 🚀 Respond to Facebook Page messages directly from Kibo! A lot more on the way 🏗️ P.S. Facebook Pages managed via Business Manager will be supported after yet another app review from Meta 🤷🏻‍♂️

Opening our API has been my best business decision to date. An MCP server built (or maintained) by us will be the second-best. For now, you can use this open-source MCP server from /alexkess reddit.com/r/publer/comments/1sfnq9l/publer_mcp_setup/

I gave the team a $20K bonus just for posting on socials 🤯 When words don't inspire … cash usually does. Is it worth it? I don't know. I don't really care tbh. Sales are on 🔥 And for the first time, I'm not the only one from the company posting about us. Plus, I actually enjoy their content 👇🏻

At what point should I ask Paddle/PayPro Global for volume discount pricing? We made over $400K in sales last month, from which: Paddle took a $12K cut and PayPro $13K. Don't ask why I'm relying on two different MoR, as a third one (Polar) has also been added to the list.

What I had planned for my own Q1: - Some minor marketing work - First MVP for Kibo Reality: - 4M website clicks in a month 🔥 - 1M impressions on my posts 📈 - 47 new lifetime deals sold for Linkie 🎟️ - A partner program for Publer 🤝🏻 - GDPR compliance 🛡️ - LinkedIn security assessment ✅ ...

4M clicks in 28 days 🔥 An all-time record! And I'm not even a marketer 💁🏻‍♂️

Zapier is already bringing in as much traffic as Instagram and Reddit.

I was hoping this was an April's joke. How safe is using Claude or any 3rd-party AI model in your codebase? I'm using Claude Code in VS Code solely for new projects. Never for my main product. Only copying & pasting code snippets on the web version.

172 confirmed beta testers, and growing 🙇 Already helping with bug reports and suggestions. And honestly, this is the only metric that truly matters in a new startup. Not the product itself (still kinda crap, to be honest). But the community that believes in it 💙

New: Switch between light and dark mode 🌗 Which team are you: Linkie light or Linkie dark?

The MVP of Kibo is finally ready! Launching tomorrow 🚀 🔥 Subscribe for early access at kibo.ai before the ⏳ And let's build together the best unified inbox 💪🏻

Tip of the day: If your app uploads user content to the cloud, make sure that at some point, that content is eventually deleted: I.e., customer downgrades, replaces their profile picture, deletes their account, etc. They pile up fast. Very fast!

RIP Typefully. Publer just became the ultimate thread maker for Bluesky, X, Threads (and Mastodon) Automatically split long text into a thread (with or without AI), add more posts, drag & drop media, wrap the thread. Crosspost, customize if needed, and preview in real time All in the same spot 🔥

Honest question, do you still read product updates in blog format? I'm debating swapping them for quick bullet updates. We did 1, 2, 3, you know, straight to the point, instead of writing essays that serve SEO (?) more than people.

I'm building a suite of products again, just like in my early days, but this time, with a clear mission: To empower your online presence. When multiple SaaS products share the same vision, everything compounds: Upsells feel natural, cross-promotion works, and each product fuels the others.

T-minus 7 days 🚀

Install Claude for VS. And that will be the end of your coding career.

I do 🤷🏻‍♂️

They say this feels like you've won a million bucks. But I've made millions of bucks, and ^ is not true at all. It's simply priceless!

🪦 RIP Asana, Notion, Google Docs … and everything in between. You can now brainstorm content ideas for social media right within Publer! From ideas to posts to tracking, all with one tool. More info in the comments 👇🏻 * 30 days free trial using my link in bio *

Oh, wow! I just won a chargeback! The first one in 15 years of selling software.

New: Switch between 2 vs 3 grid columns 🧩 This new setting applies to social media posts and square link cards. Ideal for artists, creators, and brands who want to showcase more visuals per scroll. 🤫 Another big update awaits you in the comments 👇🏻

Chartsy is becoming my virtual financial assistant! It can show me, in real time, revenue growth, the number of customers, and the most popular plans. And I can ask basic questions, such as who our top 10 customers are by revenue. Link: chartsy.app

At least you can schedule and cross-post them with Publer 🤷🏻‍♀️

And that's why we built linkie.bio! It's your link in bio after all. Not Linktree's, not Lnk's, not Linkin's, not Linkie's ...

Yo, why did they have to make the "gear shift" so ugly? It feels like I'm turning on the oven 😂

Fun fact: In 2023, we were planning to give our customers the option to hire and collaborate with freelancers. Think of Upwork for social media managers inside Publer. Luckily, we didn't go past the mockups phase. With the rise of AI assistants and agents, I doubt there's such a market anymore.

For a moment, I thought I had gone viral 😳 Then I remembered that I had sent out an important email with the link to my Linkie in the footer. Oh, well. It counts!
