[Leonid Shoresh @LeonidShoresh]

I build in public. Three products:

https://t.co/s4bb4vjp88 → revenue-first analytics · $0 all time
https://t.co/TKAVpdazhC → church & community OS · $2,368.07 all time
https://t.co/Xv6xsDkOmX → pay-to-rank leaderboard · $1.66 all time

Here you’ll get:
• weekly shipping + revenue notes
• experiments that work (and the ones that don’t)
• solo founder / indie hacker reality

Last 30 days gross: $2.67.
Still early. Still shipping.

Follow if you want the honest version.

@bzagrodzki And how much are the expenses, if I can ask?

[Leonid Shoresh @LeonidShoresh]

For those who know explain at a high level how Ansible can be used to connect to remote Linux servers, pull an updated Docker image, and restart the service with minimal downtime.

What’s killing small-account reach more right now?

I read the open X ranking weights.

Likes are weak. Replies and copy-link shares are not.

If you had to cut one habit this week, would it be reply-spam or weak hooks?

@robj3d3 Hi Rob, I tried to check one post that exceeded 280 characters and couldn't continue. After all, you're asking for our x handle. If we have x premium the limit should be 25000. Correct me if I'm wrong

[Leonid Shoresh @LeonidShoresh]

Can you tell me if the projects I'm working on are worth continuing?

@TobyBelhome Very beautiful! Who built it?

[Leonid Shoresh @LeonidShoresh]

@codewithkhalil Security is a huge factor here. Auto-increment IDs make it way too easy for people to scrape or guess records just by changing the number in the URL (e.g., /user/104 to /user/105). UUIDs completely eliminate that enumeration risk

@nikhilx22 Bro 10 users is hard.. I launched my product in product hunt. 0 registration 😩

[Leonid Shoresh @LeonidShoresh]

@harisahmad59 Are you recruiting new employees?

[Leonid Shoresh @LeonidShoresh]

@nikhilx22 Do you remember all the reasons why you got banned?😅

Latest open X algorithm commit just dropped.

Diff:
https://t.co/0eS9KCg2Mn

What actually changed (for creators):

1. New FavHoldoutFilter (off by default)
High-fav posts can be randomly held out for some viewers (up to ~15% at 5k+ favs).
Low-fav posts (0-1) never held out.
https://t.co/B0jYNZJb0V

2. Cold start window doubled
24h → 48h for low-impression authors.
https://t.co/Zho95Ntrhl

3. Reply spam thresholds moved
Coordinated spam check: 30k → 50k followers.
https://t.co/tiwwdQhdm7

4. New label: SpamManipulatedMedia
https://t.co/eACltILM1u

Core reply / share / like weights did not change in this commit.

Takeaway for small accounts:
you get a longer cold-start window.
Reply spam systems still exist.
Don't flood threads. Ship originals people actually answer.

@daniel_belokon There's a lot of room in the body to put ads😂

[Leonid Shoresh @LeonidShoresh]

@pranvtwt Very nice, what did you do special?

[Leonid Shoresh @LeonidShoresh]

@pelloiafilippo Inspiring, I'm trying, too. Not going so well at the moment. But my hope wasn't lost

[Leonid Shoresh @LeonidShoresh]

@eliakuratli I take it a step further, everything sits at home on a server. And through cloudlfate I opened a tunnel and then the traffic passes through them and the domain is connected
