Priced out an automation workflow for 500 orders/month.
Claude Sonnet 4.5 is superior, but it costs ~β¬132 vs ~β¬17 for Mistral Large 3.
Do you pay the 7x premium for "perfect" logic, or is 80-80%% accuracy at a fraction of the cost the smarter play?

Talking to SMB owners last weeks:
Invoices in one tool.
Orders in another.
PDFs via email.
Lots of copy-pasting into sheets (or skipped entirely).
I've built them some lightweight connectors to auto-fill sheets (and a search layer for docs)
Sounds familiar? π

Mainly helping businesses:
- Stop overpaying on payment fees
- Actually use AI for something useful

Hey music artists π
RollTheRecord is starting to feel like Bandcamp. But focused on releasing music, not just hosting it.
Direct-to-fan releases that turn momentum into supporters and money while itβs still hot.

Hey Musicians π
I thought my last update to RTR was "The One". The usage data says I missed. π
I need more artists in tight circle to help steer the ship.

Episode 3 - Cycling Ireland to Belgium - is here! π΄ββοΈ
I thought I knew better than Google Maps, got rejected by grandmothers while on the side of the road, and had a mechanical breakdown that somehow turned into a pub night.

Hereβs why Iβve been a bit quiet the last two months: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJZT...
After a crash course in video editing, I can officially say my respect for video editors has gone up 1000%. One of the steepest learning curves Iβve ever done.
Subscribe, like, share - makes me feel productive :)
π€ Artistsss, shipping soon: ratings & reviews on your artist page.
Listeners can share their thoughts on every album. Turn your page into a hub for real feedback!
#music #newmusic #musiciansky #buildinpublic
I was a little quiet for a while, soon more to share on that :)
Also, I launched a IG page for rolltherecord π Instagram.com/rolltherecord

Hey @johndundas.bsky.social good news! I just added support so that there's a manual onboarding flow as well.

Ideally a link to your Spotify profile and the picture you'd like on the website.
If you donβt have a Spotify link, feel free to share a link to another music service - happy to find a workaround.
If thatβs not an option, just DM me how you share your music today, and weβll go from there. Cheers
