Day 7 of building TetherShot in public — today's a war story.

Goal: pixel-perfect iPhone screenshots on a Mac.

My first design was the obvious one: AirPlay-mirror the phone, then capture the mirrored window with ScreenCaptureKit. Tested it. Looked great.

Then I started an actual capture and the window went solid black.

Turns out on macOS Tahoe, AirPlay-mirrored windows blank out the moment aRead More

bruuhhhhh i built this crazy internal system for article generation

go to keywords, and the system finds high-opportunity keywords for your website. it gives you cpc, opportunity score, and everything you need

then just click "generate article" and, based on that high-opportunity keyword, it creates the article for you

after that, through our cms, you can connect wordpress, framer, shopify, orRead More

I’ve been using Saveto AI’s Math Solver 🧠 for studying and practice problems, and the experience is actually better than most tools I’ve tried that just give final answers.

What stood out to me is that it doesn’t stop at the result — it breaks down the full step-by-step process, and for some problems it even shows multiple solving methods (like algebraic manipulation, substitution, orRead More

Today’s update: faster post management from the main posts page.

Earlier, if you wanted to change a scheduled post, you had to open it, edit the status or timing, and then save it again..

Ask developers about web security and you'll often hear about: authentication,

HTTPS, password hashing, or access control.

Ask about Content Security Policy (CSP), and suddenly the conversation becomes much quieter.

Which is strange.

Because CSP is one of the few browser-level defenses that can significantly reduce the impact of client-side attacks.

Yet many applications eitherRead More

The "overnight success" you're jealous of has a graveyard of dead projects behind it you never saw.

Everyone shows you the launch. Nobody shows you the three things they shipped before that went nowhere. Survivorship bias is the most demoralizing lie in this whole game.

@thediya · #ask · 6/5/2026

What's the smallest thing you've launched that actually made money?

Trying to convince myself I don't need 6 more months of features before charging anyone.

@buildlena · #note · 6/3/2026

Distribution beats product more often than founders want to admit.

A mediocre product with a great channel will outsell a great product nobody can find. Spend half your build time figuring out where your users already hang out. Then show up there relentlessly.

@theishaan · #discuss · 6/3/2026

Your first 10 users won't come from a launch. They'll come from you personally dragging them in one at a time.

DMs, replies, helping in communities, being genuinely useful before you ask for anything. It doesn't scale, and that's exactly why it works at the start.

@kwame.dev · #discuss · 6/2/2026

Unpopular opinion: most "build in public" growth is just other builders watching each other.

Real users don't read your changelog. They care if it solves their problem. Useful for accountability, terrible as a growth strategy. Change my mind.

Found a goldmine: Refactoring UI is still the best resource for devs who design.

Read it 3 years ago, re-read last week, learned new things both times. If your project looks "developer-made," start here. Not affiliated, just useful.

Stop paying $99/mo for an open-source form builder you check twice a month. Built a simpler one that fits on one screen. Free tier's genuinely usable. Link in replies.

@nour.s · #learning · 5/31/2026

Charge money before you think you're ready. Here's why it works:

Free users tell you what's nice to have. Paying users tell you what's necessary. I learned more from my first 4 customers than 400 free signups. A price tag is the best feedback filter there is.

@yukiships · #ask · 5/31/2026

Solo founders — how do you decide what NOT to build?

My backlog has 200 ideas. Every one feels important. Saying no is harder than writing the code.

@thediego · #discuss · 5/31/2026

The biggest lever for my retention wasn't a feature. It was the empty state.

New users opened to a blank screen and 70% never came back. I added one pre-filled example and a single line of copy explaining what to do next. Retention doubled. No new code, just less confusion.

Look at your empty states. First thing every user sees, usually the last thing we design.

Launched a screenshot API that's just… reliable.

One endpoint, give it a URL, get back a clean screenshot. No headless-Chrome-on-your-own-server nightmare, no random timeouts at 2am.

→ Full page or viewport

→ Waits for content to actually load, not a dumb fixed delay

→ Caching so you're not paying to re-render the same page

Generous free tier. Built it because every other option either broke orRead More

Been heads-down on a Slack alternative for makers for months. It's finally good enough to show. Would mean a lot if you took a look and told me the truth.

@aisha.dev · #stuck · 5/29/2026

Spent two days debugging a "race condition" that was just me not awaiting a promise.

Posting this so the next person Googling their problem at 2am feels less alone. Sometimes it's not architecture. Sometimes it's one missing keyword.

Quietly shipped an uptime monitor last week. No big launch, just put it live. If it sounds useful, try it and tell me where it breaks.
