First update-

You get email notifications for errors 😱

Imo it is important, as sometimes I may miss the error logs.

[Samik @ProSamik]

Analytics don't tell you the real truth anymore, logs do.

I wrote 100 listicles to experiment this. AI cites my listicle but it won't get tracked in analytics.

If you see your logs, then you'll know half of the time your site analytics don't track it because majority time the request is not from the browser itself.

So earlier I used to see logs in Vercel itself, but

Vercel Observability is very expensive.

So, today I experimented something.

There is something called "Drain Logs" in Vercel, it can transfer Traces/Logs/Web Analytics from Vercel server to 3rd party provider of my choice.

I chose Sentry.

And so far the experience is great. I will update in the future how it goes.

if you follow @shipordie_ there are lot of learnings btw of "what not to do".

[SHIP OR DIE @shipordie_]

☠️❌ the crew rejected another startup

@theshuster's startup Driftcheck was sent back to port by @jackfriks.

why:

"product is definitely useful, but i think the landing page is a bit cluttered. a few things i think would help

- less unnecessary text, especially around the hero section
- a bigger CTA or more obvious CTA (atm the other purple items take away from it)
- hero IMAGE/ demo showing moving parts/ things being scanned or checked, something that stands out a bit more; right now it looks more like a overloading amount of info someone has to proccess to understand the value
- simple to understand is the goal here, how much can i save, how easy is it to save, how does it work - video demo or live demo showing scanning in a straight forward way without needing to scan/read into every line of text
- less overall text and more SHOWCASING ^
- see images for more context

SEE YOU SOON captain, keep going"

@shipordie_ @theshuster @jackfriks Damn, you guys are giving real feedback!!

[Samik @ProSamik]

[Samik @ProSamik]

@sir4K_zen persistence is the key 💪💪

[Samik @ProSamik]

6 months ago, Subclip had 0 Google clicks.

Last month: 9.42K clicks from 353K impressions.

SEO actually works if you don't give up.

- implemented multi-speaker dubbing today!!

[Samik @ProSamik]

it writes well. But needs more detailed prompt.

And for UI you need to prompt more and give a lot of reference imo from your old components, google stitch or from competitor. If code much better.

Then it works as per expectations. And after using it for a month or two, you'll get comfortable with it and set right expectations from it, then it would be more easy to you.

If you compare with Claude, it is not there, but if you can prompt and explain well to it, then it does the job.

[Samik @ProSamik]

@aurelien_dio @bardonadam I also need it!!

[Samik @ProSamik]

@robj3d3 Damn, 20+ countries. You should write your experience for each country per tweet or video.

[Samik @ProSamik]

@ViperChill @mprakashnaik41 @timsoulo Damn, Glen is here. I use your tool everyday for every page I build. You build super amazing tool!!

[Samik @ProSamik]

@moonrank_ai majority of them are free tools. Which solves a specific intent in the same niche.

[Samik @ProSamik]

@mprakashnaik41 my search console and ahref don't match btw.

[Samik @ProSamik]

@tamimbuilds 😂

[Samik @ProSamik]

this is why people say SEO is dead

because it's the AI agent which is reading the blog

[Samik @ProSamik]

@Chuksforreal yeah, AI also suggests that to me. .app domains are good.

[Samik @ProSamik]

@David_mduw thanks man :)
