Web dev feels “easy” now in a way that’s kind of dangerous. You can scaffold something in an afternoon that looks production-ready. The trap is thinking polish = correctness. The hard bugs are still hiding in architecture, state, and not using too many Claude Code queries.

One thing I’ve noticed building small tools: the idea is rarely the hard part. It’s deciding what to ignore. Every time I scope too much, I slow myself down. Every time I cut aggressively, I actually ship. Marketing is still the hardest part though

AI hasn’t replaced coding for me. It’s replaced the blank page. The best flow I’ve found is: – rough idea / pitch to AI – ugly first pass with Claude and my SaaS Kit – then tighten, delete, and make it intentional

I avoided self-hosting for years because I assumed it’d be fragile and time-consuming. In reality: – VPS up in minutes – deploy was boring – Postgres just worked – I have a more private slice of the internet pie now Turns out the scary part was mostly vibes.

Every time I come back to Twitter I get hyped by what people are building. Then immediately stuck choosing: – new SaaS – new library – new TUI Inspiration is cheap. Picking is the hard part.

This Phoenix Starter Kit is becoming the most organised thing I've ever built 😅 #MyElixirStatus

I tried out Pythonx - it's pretty awesome and unlocks some amazing things for Elixir developers. Here's a write up of what I did (alongside the code obviously) www.chriis.dev/opinion/stre... #MyElixirStatus

Has Claude Code or Cursor built anyone here any designs that actually look nice? I feel like every time I use it to make something look nicer without going through the effort of providing it a reference image, it just outputs some dreamweaver 2004 style design.

Elixir Radar issue 476 is out! 📣 You can read it here: buff.ly/AeA1uk8 This issue comes with content from @codestirring.bsky.social @dimamik.bsky.social , Lucas sifoni, Chris McCord, Angelika Tyborska and Christian Alexander . Thank you! #ElixirLang

How's the bluesky #buildinpublic community doing here? I have to admit I don't use bluesky as much as X but I think I want to change that. I'm currently building out: - getpromptly.app - mmbl.io - decided.so (validating) - tinytales.io (about to launch anyday now!) Who wants to say hi? 👋

Developers with a super clean setup - I want to see your workstation and code environment. Mines a bit messy and I'm looking for inspiration. There must also be a subreddit for this...

How many indie projects are too many? I'm working on launching tinytales.io Scoping out a new project idea Gathering interest for decided.so And working on an iOS app for mmbl.io How do people prioritise? #buildinpublic

Working on something pretty cool for anyone that wants to know when something might happen on the internet that impacts their product or business 💸 Lead Gen 📊 Competitor Analysis 🔍 Content Discovery Thoughts? 👇 #buildinpublic

I want to create a lead generation tool with a twist - how would I validate it before spending lots of time building? #buildinpublic

🚨 Do you use LLMs during your day to day to chat, edit or summarise content? Why not if not? If the answer is it's not painlessly simple to do so, I encourage you to check out Promptly (which has a 7 day free trial and a one off fee - alongside your own API keys). getpromptly.app #buildinpublic

Promptly is out on Product Hunt today - show me some love and upvote! Everyone that's used it has given me nothing but positive feedback, let's get it out there! www.producthunt.com/posts/prompt... #BuildInPublic

Elixir Radar issue 463 is out! 📣 You can read it here: buff.ly/fEbm0bi This issue comes with content from @jakeprem.bsky.social @distantprovince.bsky.social @yellowduck.be @codestirring.bsky.social , Pepe Márquez Romero and Lorena Mireles. Thank you! #ElixirLang

mmbl.io now has a chrome extension! 🚀 Record a rambling from ✨anywhere✨ on the internet and it'll automatically be cleaned up, tagged and turned into a task or note in your mmbl space! If it's a task it'll be automatically synced to your favourite calendar 😎 #buildinpublic

I have a pretty interesting take on a ProductHunt style platform - issue is it has a chicken and egg style problem. How do you get initial users to post on there without users to look at the products? I could start a newsletter but that'd take months #buildinpublic

mmbl chrome extension submitted for review 😎 #buildinpublic

Got a lot of requests for this - here it is! How to parse PDF files (and more) in Elixir using Rust. www.chriis.dev/opinion/pars... Let me know what you think! #ElixirLang

I managed to parse a PDF in Elixir yesterday without any third party dependencies. Anyone fancy a blog post? #ElixirLang

Any elixir devs calling Python code via Elixir in production using ErlPort? How stable is it? #ElixirLang

What do I do if I have 2 new SaaS ideas I want to persue but both would require a decent investment of time to start up? Landing page with sign up gathering or just suck it up and pick one? #buildinpublic

Launched mmbl on Fazier today! Check out the launch and give it an upvote to support! 🙏 fazier.com/launches/mmb... #buildinpublic

Indiehackers on here - I'd love some feedback on the new mmbl.io landing page! 🙏 #BuildInPublic

I want bsky to do well - but the X algorithm is so good at finding me interesting content on my feed without searching for it. Maybe I need to follow more people to influence this?

What’s the most frustrating part about how you take notes? Thinking about ways to improve mmbl.io. Your pain points and challenges are the missing puzzle pieces I need to make this tool better for you. What makes your current note-taking setup a nightmare? #productivitytools

Updated the mmbl.io landing page and created a video to give users a deep dive within 2 minutes - would love some feedback! 🙏 #buildinpublic

Planning to put mmbl.io on product hunt this week. Anything I need to prepare aside from what’s going on the post? People make it sound like something I need to plan months in advance #buildinpublic

Launched my new productivity app mmbl.io a few days ago - give it a try if you want to word vomit your day into a website for 10 seconds and have it automatically tag, organise and sync everything to your favourite calendar apps. #Productivity #Indiehacking #buildinpublic

I came across logsnag which I thought looked pretty cool and wanted to put in my side projects so I created an unofficial Elixir client for it. github.com/chrisgreg/lo... Shoutout to Shayan for the awesome tool. #ElixirLang

Spent a few hours this evening banging my head against a wall trying to add pgvector a 2 year old @flydotio postgres app. I'm tired 😪 I just want a simple vector DB I can access in my Elixir app - any recommendations for a free tier service with a good Elixir integration? #ElixirLang

So exciting that Phoenix LiveView is now v1 😍 A reminder that my LiveView book is out and extremely relevant - fli.so/lvcb Currently updating the book to make v1 compatible - buy now for free lifetime updates ⚡ #ElixirLang
