@Atenov_D that's the bit i'm stuck on as a solo founder. building's fine, getting from 5 customers to anything is the hard part

[Andrew @AndrewBuilds98]

@rewind02 a whole farming game, assets and audio, in one html file is genuinely wild. the next year of indie games is going to be strange

[Andrew @AndrewBuilds98]

@businessbarista solo founder here, roi is easy to measure when it's your own card getting charged every month

[Andrew @AndrewBuilds98]

@arena carbon at $1.5 a task sitting that close to the frontier is the real headline. cheap models are eating the middle

[Andrew @AndrewBuilds98]

@arena @AnthropicAI top of the board is nice. building solo, i scroll straight to the cost column before i get excited

Wednesday build question: what made you finally commit to your name? A checklist, a deadline, or the domain just being free?

[Andrew @AndrewBuilds98]

@eMeRiKa Found the culprit

Tencent Building, Kejizhongyi Avenue (5.6k hits)
· HUAWEI CLOUDS (2.0k hits)
· Beijing Guanghuan Xinwang Digital (3.7k hits)

@eMeRiKa Just did some research they're a bot net using AOCR as a mask using a Headless browser.

[Andrew @AndrewBuilds98]

@EXM7777 charging before the price is confirmed is exactly the bug that'd keep me up at night shipping solo. catch it in simulation before a real user does

[Andrew @AndrewBuilds98]

@eMeRiKa Same as mine 20 referrals

@ai_for_success a full aquarium with shrimp and a snail in six hours. the 3d side is moving faster than the coding side now

[Andrew @AndrewBuilds98]

@0xMovez i'd have spent a week fighting blender for one of those robots. ten of them generated in code is a proper unlock

[Andrew @AndrewBuilds98]

@elshayib_ two hours of work for under $5 is mad value. post the build when it's done, want to see what it actually made

[Andrew @AndrewBuilds98]

@tyd3n_ building was the easy half for me too. the worse app with thousands probably just showed up somewhere every single day

[Andrew @AndrewBuilds98]

@YouArtStudio an agent driving premiere and capcut for you is the bit everyone's been waiting for. the cheap provider routing is the sneaky good part

[Andrew @AndrewBuilds98]

The first App Store review from someone you don't know feels like making it. It's a stage, not the finish line. Knowing which one changes what you build this week.

[Andrew @AndrewBuilds98]

@eliadele cost per project is the only number i actually check now. token price looks cheap right up until the account's burned

[Andrew @AndrewBuilds98]

@RamsesDecrees complaining about ai code from inside an app built with ai is peak 2026 honestly 😂

[Andrew @AndrewBuilds98]

@Lummox_eth that 7x gap decides it for me. building solo in the UK, every model swap is a pricing decision first

[Andrew @AndrewBuilds98]

@TheObiLeonard lead gen built on top of agents is exactly where this is heading. gating the test behind pro is a smart filter for serious users
