Good way to end the year. First site I built with createpages sold for $1000!

Learned a lot and although it had good traffic, needed a lot more manual work. Took the cash to fund future projects.

Great ROI from $100! @a7fort @iannuttall Ty!

I needed some audiobooks creating for my upcoming honeymoon so over the last 24 hours I built this little site to help me.

Basically it uses Kokora to turn an EPUB, PDF, or text file very rapidly into an audiobook with voices.

First chapter in seconds. Working on pricing.

[Hector @HectorTries]

this is outrageous. I kind of prefer @Muse is more upfront about it (although perhaps even their private models are doing similar) with the cheap "contributor models".

[Edoardo Contente @edoardocontente]

There is a super shady data control setting on everyone's ChatGPT which makes it seem like your data can be used for training even if you explicitly say to *NOT* improve the model for everyone (1/9)

[Hector @HectorTries]

Thanks @WisprFlow , a good month

[Hector @HectorTries]

"i grew up during tokenomics"

thanks @Meta I hope you enjoy my training data.

Meta 1.3 contributor is wildly cheap. Given I'm mostly making AI slop at this point, it doesn't really matter they can train on it.

Building a startup for my wife, inspo @jackfriks
first tests are good, not ready for the world yet though.

[Hector @HectorTries]

I'm enjoying Meta 1.3 both inside the web and in my OpenClaw. Although I haven't managed to get it to work with OpenClaw directly, I'm using DeepSeek which is delegating to many instances of Meta for all of its coding needs, which is keeping costs low.

@_baretto @TiinyHost incredible. I particularly love you relentus pursuit of one great product / idea - it clearly is working for you!

[Hector @HectorTries]

The best part about agentic coding is that I'm still thinking a lot about architectural decisions and coming up with ways in which I believe I can make improvements to my code and products (when I'm trying to get speed or efficiency). My agent misses a lot here.

[Hector @HectorTries]

am i cool yet:

[Hector @HectorTries]

going to build as an automated service to start with before standing up later. there some constraints with my local system here but we role.

[Hector @HectorTries]

is it best to start my SaaS as a service (think £200-£300 per month per customer) and then automate later once validated?

[Hector @HectorTries]

@MythThrazz @levelsio ok this is cool, I think there is something in here!

@JonDotJames @GoogleAIStudio yes that was what I was trying I love that can push straight to github too

[Hector @HectorTries]

making a game in @GoogleAIStudio this evening

having the best time - considering it's a free tier why is not everyone tinkering with it?

Perfect for kids and no techies!

Good morning all,

Building the next big thing: Binx -The Strava for Personal Finance.

For people who need accountability and dopamine to reach their goals.

App Store Submission Approved this morning. Excited to see what happens next!

[Hector @HectorTries]

My App (Binx) now has a social feed, which hopefully works in the app store now!!

Think of it as the Strava for Personal Finance - at least that's the idea...

Very excited for the next phase of Binx (for my 10 users lol).

[Hector @HectorTries]

"Binx It" 1.03 - released today.

Don't Buy It, Binx It.
The app for gamified underconsumption.

New: Carousel for people to export to TikTok/Instagram to show how much they've saved in a week.

Marketing on that side of TikTok will be interesting to see how it goes.

[Hector @HectorTries]

I made an app for tracking skipped buys. You know, takeaway or cooking your own food. You can input skipped buys and see how they add up and compound over time with some nice confetti.

And yes I'm working on the Android version...(my main is andr)

[Hector @HectorTries]

21 downloads even some from organic reach!

Ok need to make the product a bit stickier, with better introduction so people "get it" I was a bit lasy with my App Store submission.
