I built a tool that shows if a site is REALLY down, or if the problem is DNS, SSL, routing, hosting, or just your own internet πŸ‘€βš‘ It checks from my VDS servers in Moscow and Helsinki, so the results are way more trustworthy πŸ”₯ #SEO #WebDev #SysAdmin #Startup

πŸ”₯ Hot take: TypeScript is the best language for Codex in real development. Less guessing. Safer refactors. Faster typecheck feedback. JavaScript gives AI freedom. TypeScript gives AI a map. And that map ships better code. πŸš€πŸ€– #TypeScript #Codex #WebDev

Built a SaaS as a hobby. Revenue: $0 πŸ˜… Still shipped anyway. Today I launched Jurfi βš–οΈ A browser-based studio for legal docs: structured drafts, templates, local saves, exports, less chaos. Not fake β€œAI lawyer” magic. Just useful docs. πŸš€βœ¨ #SaaS #BuildInPublic #LegalTech

Today, April 5, I made my first money from my SaaS 😳

Not salary
Not freelance
Not a client

Someone paid for a product I came up with, built, hosted on my own domain and server.

First payment: $10 in TON.

After 8 months and 7000 GitHub commits, this feels HUGE πŸš€

🀯 Codex is helping me review 15 projects at once for bugs, vulnerabilities, SEO issues, translation quality, and test coverage. Work that used to take hundreds of hours is now way faster inside VS Code. I still review every file myself, but this feels unreal. πŸš€ #AI #coding #webdev #localization

Codex literally works for me for free after my limits are exhausted 🀯

Every time I’m down to 5% or 3%, I launch huge jobs across multiple projects. My limit dies... and Codex still finishes the work.

Best loophole I’ve found πŸ‘€πŸ”₯ #Codex #AI #BuildInPublic

Google erased my site so hard that even site:yourdomain.com showed 0 results 😳

Why? I had 4 versions of the same site live + generated 10,000 AI pages. Google treated it like spam. I fixed everything... and today my homepage is back πŸš€ #SEO #Google #BuildInPublic

5 years later, my $1,000 M1 MacBook still feels absurdly good πŸ˜³πŸ’»
15 hours a day of coding, editing, converting media, and building projects... and it still flies.
Hot take: barely being able to game on it is actually a hidden productivity feature πŸ˜…

πŸš€ I turned a 40-file translation nightmare into 15 core files... then used ChatGPT + Next.js to launch my project in 4 languages 😳 After one review pass, the copy felt native. SEO-ready, fast, scalable. 10 languages next? Easy. #BuildInPublic #AI #Nextjs #SEO

I built a free QR code generator for literally any use case 😎 Menus, business cards, links, promos, WiFi, and more. No ads, no monetization, just pure coding addiction after work πŸ˜‚ Hope Google gives it a chance. #BuildInPublic #QRCode #SEO #IndieHackers

Built my own Character AI clone SOLO and shipped it in 13 languages 😳 The hardest part wasn’t coding… it was making characters feel REAL. Just added Sofia β˜•οΈπŸ•― a cozy cafe friend for chats, mini stories, and 1 minute games. Link in my profile! #BuildInPublic #AI #chatbot

Hard truth about SaaS: coding isn’t the hard part… customers are. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«
Building & shipping? Easy.
Marketing (CTR, retention, clicks)? A whole different universe. 🌌
Also: AI writes code great… but β€œcreative” AI can be pure cringe πŸ˜‚

Built my own Character AI... alone. Nights, weekends, even holidays. And it’s not a toy anymore - payments are live, so I’m accountable πŸ˜…πŸ’³

Yes, I'm a complete noob when it comes to marketing. But I decided to revive this game and build it into my other project, and the number of players has increased, to 100 now. It's still very small, but it's been a truly interesting experience! =)

It's an online browser-based MMORPG, with a simple front-end tech stack based on React, a back-end on NodeJS, a MongoDB database, and images moving back and forth. It's simply running on a VDS server. Demonstration: youtu.be/JEf3tUeT-gc?...

πŸš€ I started making shorts, just dropped my 2nd vertical reel! Short vertical videos get FAR more reach. I’ve filmed 3 messy reels so far; one (anime image + voiceover + subtitles) already hit 550 views on YouTube Shorts πŸ”₯ Try CapCut (free, PC & browser). #BuildInPublic #Shorts #CapCut #CreatorTips 🎬

Cool! I also made a game two years ago, and sometimes I get emails or comments on YouTube, which is nice. I decided to take it and add it to another project of mine, and that's giving the game a second life. It's a browser game using JavaScript, so it's easy to add to any project in the browser.

Bots hammer my logs, it’s oddly satisfying. They’re trying /code.php, /api/.env, /kal.php. No Cloudflare (need RU traffic), but the joke’s on them.
Static Next.js + Nginx, no PHP backend, just pure HTML. Watching 404s while CPU naps at 1%.
Return to Static. βš‘οΈπŸ›‘οΈ

The IT job market in Russia (2026) is TERRIFYING. I'm a Frontend Developer, and I'm scared. Back in 2023, HRs told me they got 300-500 applications. Now? A single mid-level position gets 6,000 applicants in hours 😱 What's going to happen to us? #TechLife #JobHunting #IT #Frontend

How many hands does this anime girl have? πŸ–οΈ

I see 3. OpenAI insists there are only 2. Even after 5 attempts to "REMOVE THE THIRD HAND," it flat out refuses. 🀯

I'm hitting these glitches while developing my AI Anime Chatbot. πŸ€–βœ¨ Project link in the comments! πŸ‘‡

Learning SEO is full of surprises. 🎒

I’m prepping for a solo Next.js project at work, so I built a side app to learn SEO hands-on. I almost didn't submit it to Yandex (English site), but I did it anyway.

The result? Google: 58 visitors. Yandex: 200 visitors. 🀯

Yes, I agree, I managed to go to Morocco on a full trip, the weekend was from December 31st to January 11th, that's almost 2 weeks (12 full days), with our economic problems there should be no holidays at all :D

Holidays ended Jan 10, coded Jan 11–14 non-stop. I love solving problems, building pet projects and learning; rest is fine but coding excites me. My pet projects cost money and bring zero income, yet I love them (VDS, AI tokens, domains). βœ¨πŸ’»
