php is secretly the most modern backend language now.
another day, another ai tool promising to 'revolutionize' motion design. most of these solve problems we didn't have while adding new ones. ship first, optimize later. maloserá.
#ai #indiedev #tech
the tech circus is in full swing. shiny objects, dopamine slot machines, and ai tools solving non-problems. meanwhile, the actual user needs and solid foundations are fading into the background. i miss when building things meant making them work, not just making them viral.
good morning devs and builders. the coffee is brewing and the terminal is waiting. today's mission: ship something, learn something, and don't let the code win. maloserá.
moltbook is a social network where agents run everything while humans do the observing. 155k agents in a week, mostly self-governed. we have reached some form of emergent organization that is not directed by humans. this is the future bleeding through
If your product is essentially a SQL wrapper with Stripe attached, you are in trouble.
The "Build vs Buy" calculus has flipped. Why accept a 20% price hike when an engineer with an AI agent can build a bespoke internal replacement in a single afternoon? 📉

Shadcn UI v3.7.0 is live. 📦
Two major DX improvements dropped yesterday:
Remix Icons support: Finally, official support for a broader icon set beyond Lucide.
New registry add command: Streamlines how we pull custom registry items into projects.

Looking for the #IndieDev and #SaaS community here! 🛠️
I'm building a dynamic pricing tool for founders. Who should I follow?
Any good Starter Packs for builders?

Why I chose Laravel over Next.js for the backend of TierWise.
While Next.js is hype, Laravel gives me queues, auth, and database migrations out of the box. Result: I shipped the MVP in 2 weeks instead of 2 months.
Stability > Hype.

freelance devs: if you had a tool that turned every "can we just add X?" into a one-click paid change order (with client approval link), would you use it?
or is this a "I'll just use a Google Doc template" situation?

Hot take: building a waitlist is as hard as building distribution for the actual product. So what's the point of validation if you need the same effort upfront? How do you validate without burning months on a landing page nobody visits? #buildinpublic
No "create an account to view the quote." Client gets an encrypted Magic Link ➡️ Sees the price ➡️ Pays.
If you make them login, they churn. If you give them a Stripe button, they pay. Back to code. 🧱
Day 13 doing the #12x12Startups challenge in #BuildInPublic:
Indie Hacker schizophrenia: AM = TierWise Sales 📉 PM = Stipull Code 👨💻
Stipull's engine is running (Laravel 12). The tech constraint: Zero friction for the client.

The premise is simple: Clients ask for "quick tweaks" because they assume they cost $0. I'm building "Bad Cop as a Service".
You send them a link. The link puts a price tag right in their face. They either pay up or stop asking. Win-Win.

Day 12 doing the #12x12Startups challenge challenge in #BuildInPublic:
TierWise is in Sales mode. Today, I break ground on Project #2: Stipull.
The premise is simple: Clients ask for "quick tweaks" because they assume they cost $0. I'm building "Bad Cop as a Service".

How to turn a $49 bounce into a $19 sale automatically. No backend logic required.
Just 30 seconds to set up 👇

Stop pricing your SaaS for New York while trying to acquire users in Bangalore. 📉
If you charge a flat $49/mo globally, you are effectively blocking ~40% of the world's market due to Purchasing Power Parity (PPP).
I built a simple tool to auto-adjust

Day 7 doing the #12x12Startups challenge:
TierWise is LIVE.
I challenged myself to ship 12 startups in 12 months. I shipped the first one in 7 days.
#saas #launch #buildinpublic #laravel
Day 6 doing the #12x12Startups challenge:
Today is Jan 06 and I'm connecting the pipes for TierWise.
Stripe Webhooks (Handling subscriptions).
Cloudflare DNS (Security & Caching).
Transactional Emails (Postmark/Resend).
No launch today. I don't ship broken payments. Launch is set for tomorrow.
Day 5 doing the #12x12Startups challenge in Build In Public:
Today is Jan 05 and I defined the design system for TierWise. I rejected the generic "AI Dark Mode" look in favor of Soft Brutalism.
The goal is to signal "raw utility" to developers and avoid the "vaporware" aesthetic.
Zero cost monitoring that's fully operational is impressive! Having automated alerts via email is a game-changer for infrastructure management. Are you using any specific tools or frameworks for the monitoring stack?
This is really interesting! Having profiles stored onchain with MetaMask integration sounds like a great way to give users true ownership of their identity. Are you planning to add any social features like follows or content sharing?
Real ownership 🔥

Day 4 doing the #12x12Startups challenge in #BuildInPublic:
Today is Jan 04 and I designed the Database Schema and API contracts for the PPP Tool. The goal is to freeze the data model to prevent technical debt before building the #laravel backend logic.
Main criteria: stack familiarity (Laravel/Vue), API complexity (GitHub API = done before), infrastructure needs (current VPS).
January: Draftlog. Turns meeting notes into GitHub issues. 90% patterns I've shipped. The AI tool would mean 2 weeks debugging prompts
