Deployed an Astro site to Cloudflare Pages last night! It's not quite ready to show people but it's alive on the internet. Claude to Github to Cloudflare 😀 I can see LOTS of possibilities of directories and static sites now and making everything super fast and clean

Meta has bought Moltbook, the social network for AI agents. Ship whatever crazy idea you have.

OK, Astro is pretty nice I saw someone talk about moving from Framer to Astro and I can see it making sense 100% free static site on Cloudflare Pages 😎

Looking forward to the next High Signal Edinburgh meetup on the 1st of April - no joke! luma.com/jf6py6eh

"Instead of "trust us, this will work," it was "look at what the market already said." Check out the full High Signal interview I did with Gabriel about building an alternative to Stripe: www.highsignal.io/building-cre...

Had nice little meetup last night - good to see some familiar and unfamiliar faces There will be another on the first Wednesday of April

1-2 spots available for my meetup in Edinburgh tonight! If you're a founder, marketer or developer, hopefully see you there 😀 It's at the cosy Joseph Pearce pub at 8pm luma.com/cd4n10y5

Doing an SEO audit for a new client and they don't have a sitemap 💀

I signed a new SEO client today 😀 It helps that I'm the first result for "SEO Edinburgh" so that's proof already that I know my stuff. Funnily enough, it's not local SEO - they just live here too and needed someone.

I've never seen anyone get their startup acquired whilst running a 'portfolio of tiny bets' Has anyone? I seriously can't think of a single one.

Edinburgh folk! I'm organising a meetup next week for founders, devs and marketers 😀 luma.com/cd4n10y5

I'm obscenely more productive with caffeine and the gym.

Set your domains to auto-renew! I just looked up an old cafe I used to go to and their domain has been bought and the website has been taken over by a gambling site 🤦‍♂️

I'd like to meet more founders/devs/marketers in Edinburgh I'm going to be starting a monthly pub meetup soon Anyone in Edinburgh meet this description and fancy meeting up?

"You know, your inbox is filled with mostly garbage." I had an amazing chat with Michael Kauffman from Catskill Crew! We had a long chat about what he thinks of paywalls, writing a quality newsletter and why local newsletters are easy to grow. Interview link:

Had a great time talking to the Catskill Crew founder. Sadly, the video recording didn't work so here's an audio of our interview about building and monetizing a local newsletter www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9Ch...

Sold another 4 weeks of newsletter ads for High Signal 💰 All direct - no marketplace bullshit where you get paid pennies for all the hard work Next slot available is the 255th of March

The AI CEOs not holding hands really does remind me of doing ceilidh dancing in PE in the 90s and everyone being too embarrassed to hold hands

How on earth do people send emails like this? My eyes are wrecked just trying to read this text

Don't take advice from people that haven't done the thing you wanna dooooo

Just found out Oxfam has an online shop! So I can buy a DVD box set which I will own instead of paying rent to Netflix, save money because I don't have to binge it and give money to a charity

Sending a wrap up of the past days of bootstrapper news soon Acquisitions, SaaS updates, vibe coding news and a discount offer you don't want to miss

It's mad how much good sleep and eating well beforehand affects my run now I'm in my 40s I had a sleep-deprived last weekend and I was wiped out Just did a longer run today and I was totally fine

Excited to be doing an interview with the founder of the Catskills Crew newsletter soon 😀

I noticed something weird On my ghostwriting sales page, people always book a video call to get more information. Whereas on my freelance SEO page, everyone emails me. I've not had anyone book a call on that page. I guess small businesses still prefer email?

I've come back to the Mr Money Mustache way of thinking Be frugal, save money and invest the rest

I'm not a fan of AI profile pics When I make profiles for ghostwriting clients, the photo is one of the first things I look at and the more natural, the better. One of my ghostwriting clients changed his profile pic so it's clear who he is and it looks so much better now! Trust is everything.

29 and retired. That's my friend. He made an online business about 5 years ago, worked really hard and sold it for mid-six figures. He's now making art all day and has left the tech world behind. FIRE doesn't seem so bad, does it?

Someone just recognised me in a cafe because I'm the first result for "SEO Edinburgh" Is this fame? No autographs!

Any sleep tips? I can’t get no sleep 😴

Did you know you get 3 months of YouTube Premium for free with a LinkedIn Premium account? The only drawback is you need to have a LinkedIn account

Any budgeting app recommendations for UK users ? What I need • web app • adding several bank accounts • categories

Nice spot of coworking with my new friend Diego If anyone in Edinburgh is up for regular cafe coworking (no calls) then let me know 😎

I just got a great result for a High Signal advertiser 😀 They said it's "the best ROI on marketing spend ever" What do you think about my new sponsorship page? www.highsignal.io/sponsor/

I'm going back to using cash 💰 It's frankly absurd how much I spend on the move. All those coffees and pastries add up.

“Best marketing I’ve spent so far” 😎 This a message from someone who bought ads in my High Signal newsletter and immediately got a great lead My High Signal newsletter has got founders making 6-8 figures who actually buy things Want to buy some ads? Reply below

You can skip scrolling and get all your indie startup news in one place - my High Signal newsletter I've just scheduled today's edition which covers • AI updates • MRR updates • Should newsletters be written by AI? www.highsignal.io/newsletter/

I spoke to someone who uses AI entirely to write her newsletters She doesn’t know or understand the subject matter Does that bother you or not?

I'm the top result for "SEO Edinburgh" I'm someone who just learned SEO through trial and error from building my own websites but I already outperform SEO agencies that have been around for ages. If you need help with SEO, let me know 😀

I wrote my first blog post of 2026 - all about Claude www.petecodes.io/coding-with-...

I’ve made a keyword monitor for Bluesky Thinking of using it for brand mentions , finding work, sponsors etc What would you use one for?

If your friend made 4 times more than you, wouldn't you get jealous? Matthias didn't - he just copied him. You see his friend had learned to code so Matthias just did the same. Now, he's a Full Stack Developer and he doesn't even have a CS degree. www.nocsdegree.com/learning-to-...

Had fun at @edinburghjs.org last night 😀 Nice to meet some other devs/vibe coders in Edinburgh

Day 5 of using Claude 🤖 I added social media icons to my personal website I just said which ones I wanted and it knew what links to add without my writing them

Show me your personal website I need some design inspiration 😀

Hurt my lower back yesterday by carrying a new holdall instead of a backpack Welcome to your 40s, Pete

Working on a re-design of the High Signal front page 😀

I moved my High Signal newsletter content from Kit to Ghost My domain rating on Ahrefs has gone up from 22 to 28 with just this change alone It definitely makes sense to have all your content on one website. I can now do things like internal links from articles and it just feels a lot neater

I've been more attention to style recently For ages I was definitely one of those "it's what's on the inside that counts" people but wow, the difference from dressing well is amazing.

My sister did an all day traitors themed party for her eldest. I’ve told her she should sell the blueprint to other parents ☺️
