Most people think AI has no taste. It does. It just inherits yours. My approach to building: spend an hour with Gemini on vision and tone, then have it write my Figma Make prompt. First output = final output. Stop blaming the model. Start auditing the human at the keyboard.

For years, I ran my own ecommerce store and created effective content that drove traffic to the site. That took about 5 hours of my time each week. Even with the advent of ChatGPT, creating content still took about 3 hours each week because you have to pick the right topic and ensure the content is not garbage. I found other automated ai blogging tools but there was no easy way to proof that the content they created was generating money. I decided to create build something for all myself and other Shopify merchants that automatically writes all your blog posts regularly and tell you how much each post earns for your business. check it out: apps.shopify.com/proof-2

hey indie hackers and solopreneurs 👋 are you building in frontend, backend, SaaS or with AI? say hello & tell me what you're working on 👇

tell me why you are really using Grok bot. What's your use case and what happened to your Open Claw

Grok bot is a fad. I'm not interested for the same reason I never installed OpenClaw. We are all just trying to figure this shit out and learning in real time. I don't have the time to try every single fad out there, so count me out.

I like Marc but he’s wrong. This is a chicken and egg situation. I don’t think all his other projects failed because they were not good enough. Some probably just didn’t have the right people see it when his following was small. I agree with solving a pain point by providing pain killers. However, you can create the painkillers and not have distribution to put it on the shelf for customers to buy. If someone else, like Marc is to build the same features and products as I’ve done, it will most likely get some traction because of his audience. This is not me hating or complaining. It’s just the nature of the game and I’m working on building my own audience so I can get eyeballs on my painkillers.

What's this I'm hearing about Astra that you wouldn’t believe. It better live up to expectations.

This is the thing that founders like me struggle with. Always aiming for Raptor 3 instead of pushing Raptor 1 out quickly to gain momentum. Saying this, I genuinely struggle with settling for the basic version, especially in an age when everyone can build easily. It feels more appropriate to make it good now!

this outbid.lol story is incredible and shows not all ideas are taken. You just have to dare to build and chase your ideas.

Something feels off here but I can’t put my finger on it. So, I’m out of this stock. $CRM

Honestly, whatever OpenAI is doing is working. This is an old feature but the user experience in Codex is by a mile better than all the other harnesses I've used. I find myself coming back to it and its now my go to for most coding tasks.

completely agree - it's Anthropic's way of trying to gatekeeper and lock everyone in their garden wall. This is one oif those things that should just be standard for all players.

I spend $8,000 worth of token every month and I only pay $200. Who pays for the other $7,800 😂😂?

Vibe coding is now the standard way for shipping software to production. This is how I've been able to build and launch my ai blogging solution on Shopify App Store [apps.shopify.com/proof-2]. I've had this idea since running my own drone store in 2019 and I executed it within 2 months.

Hmmm now I can't help but overthink how I've been doing this marketing thing wrong.
