@foliofed Agree 💯
...and guilty

[Alin · trytwo.app - drink less (the 2-2-2 rule) @AlinCatalin]

for the past 3 months I’ve only allowed myself to watch a Netflix show while using my water rower & it made me exercise more

I’m now thinking of building the same concept for podcasts:

you can only listen while walking or running - stop moving and the podcast stops too

What am I missing?

[Ben Cera @Bencera]

I built Polsia into a $250M company in under 3 months.

Solo + AI. Zero employees.

Everyone asks me how I did it.

Introducing aisloP, a docu-series on how I build Polsia.

Episode 1: The Launch.

How I orchestrated the biggest Twitter launch of 2026.

@dr Been doing the same and it's telling me pretty much the same thing....which tbh I guess I knew

I get excited with an idea but motivation drops to all time lows when I don't get the traction/feedback I expected

[Alin · trytwo.app - drink less (the 2-2-2 rule) @AlinCatalin]

I'm at 43 active users (past 28 days) and 4 customers... with a 5th converting in a few hours 🤞

3 monthly (2 at their 3rd renewal already)
1 yearly

feels like I might be on to something...or not 🤷‍♀️

@CamiMirabalMktg @marckohlbrugge that's actually the most common sense strategy I've seen articulated lately

I got sick and tired of the same old bulshit or growth hacking bros with all their "be a reply guy" nonsense

[Alin · trytwo.app - drink less (the 2-2-2 rule) @AlinCatalin]

so sick and tired of this brain-rot kind of tweets

Here are 10 GitHub repos that quietly print money while you sleep.

1. Cal. com
Open-source Calendly. Fork it, white-label it, sell to dentists and lawyers for $200/month. The founders hit $5M ARR in 3 years doing exactly this.
Repo → https://t.co/haz8ihRsHm

2. Plausible Analytics
Privacy-first Google Analytics. Self-host it, resell to agencies for $50/month per client. Two founders bootstrapped this to 7 figures.
Repo → https://t.co/RFrcpqTBQ7

3. Ghost
Open-source Substack with 100% margin. 1,000 readers at $5/month equals $60,000 a year. Forever.
Repo → https://t.co/Z1MdZ5Zapg

4. n8n
Open-source Zapier. Sell automation services for $500-$2,000 per setup. n8n raised $14M because the agency model behind it works.
Repo → https://t.co/hdycABGGc1

5. Supabase
Free Firebase replacement. Build a SaaS in a weekend, charge $29-$99/month. They raised $116M for a reason.
Repo → https://t.co/dFB2QvafA7

6. Medusa
Open-source Shopify. Take 5% on every sale forever. Zero rev share to Shopify.
Repo → https://t.co/uEuCK6zuZO

7. AppFlowy
Open-source Notion. Sell self-hosted to enterprises worried about data privacy. They raised $30M because this market is massive.
Repo → https://t.co/IDMykTCkMU

8. Coolify
Open-source Vercel and Heroku. Charge developers $20/month to manage their deployments. Replace their $200 Vercel bill.
Repo → https://t.co/N5Fk22qraT

9. Listmonk
Open-source Mailchimp. Send unlimited emails for the cost of an AWS bill. Resell to agencies at 10x markup.
Repo → https://t.co/NS6Uukcklw

10. Penpot
Open-source Figma. Sell self-hosted design tools to agencies who refuse to upload client files to the cloud.
Repo → https://t.co/Lx1CYUP4p4

The difference between developers who build features and developers who build businesses is one decision.

Pick one of these. Fork it this weekend. Ship it next week.

The founders behind these repos already proved the model.

Save this. Share it with the developer in your life who deserves to break free.

100% free. 100% open source.

[dante @dantefofante]

You dont want a yacht. You dont want a big house. You dont want a super car, a $40,000 watch, or shoes you worry about getting dirty. You want free will.

You want to wake up naturally on a Tuesday and you want to go to bed when you’re done having fun. You want to say yes to everything that excites you without having to request time off. You want to go to the the gym at noon, in absolutely no hurry. You want to spend 18 hours a day doing what you love. You want to be exactly where you desire being, always. You want to spend as much time with the people you care about as possible.

You’re saying you wanna be rich? In what?

Heal - with almost no marketing just some random almost TikTok videos on a single account, posting super random - just reached $431 ARR

genuine questions:

what does "AI founder" mean this days?

[Alin · trytwo.app - drink less (the 2-2-2 rule) @AlinCatalin]

@filippkowalski that cheap? 😯

how many videos and news are you feeding it?

[Alin · trytwo.app - drink less (the 2-2-2 rule) @AlinCatalin]

I’ve had a few AI + mobile conversations lately and they made something pretty clear:

I’m not interested in vague "we want AI in the app" projects
I’m much more interested in product teams that want to solve a real problem, make it work well on mobile and build it properly across platforms

so I built this page mostly to make that clearer:
https://t.co/IZaabIZAOI

if that sounds like what you’re working on, feel free to reach out

[Alin · trytwo.app - drink less (the 2-2-2 rule) @AlinCatalin]

a few mobile + AI leads came in recently but most had the same problem

they wanted AI added to mobile products without a clear workflow, owner or clear reason for it to exist

that’s usually how teams end up shipping demo bait instead of product value

really liked @Shpigford InitialCommit approach: strong POV, clear fit, clear anti-fit

so I built my version for the work I actually want: https://t.co/IZaabIZAOI

for projects & teams that want practical AI in mobile products -not decks, fluff or duplicate platform work

[Alin · trytwo.app - drink less (the 2-2-2 rule) @AlinCatalin]

[Sosa | Mental Strategist @MetaMorpehus]

You can brainwash yourself with your own voice.

Done correctly, it’s more potent than hypnosis, meditation, and affirmations combined.

This is how you do it:

- Write down the traits, self-image, and identity you desire
- Use present tense: speak as it exists
- Be sensory and descriptive: make the mind feel it

- Use emotional words
- Avoid negations (don't, never, not)
- Frame everything as absolute truth
-Layer in NLP techniques (double binds etc)
-Use hypnotic words (imagine, notice, feel, become)
-Speak in your own language (specificity matters)

-Embed a post-hypnotic trigger word
- Record the script into Audacity
- Add the subliminal plug in
- Add theta waves - Listen as you wake up
- Listen as you fall asleep

@JamesEbringer just ramblings with ads

If you've been using promo codes on autopilot, today is the forcing function to build a real promotional system.

The devs who set this up this week will have data, tested offers, and working funnels by Q3.
The ones who wait will be Googling "how to create offer codes" in June.

Your move!

[Alin · trytwo.app - drink less (the 2-2-2 rule) @AlinCatalin]

🚨 Today (March 26) Apple officially killed IAP promo codes.

f you're an indie dev still using them for giveaways, beta access, or influencer outreach... that workflow is now dead.

But the replacement is actually more powerful -
so here's how to switch in one afternoon

[Alin · trytwo.app - drink less (the 2-2-2 rule) @AlinCatalin]

Some ideas on how indie devs should use these first:

* Win-back campaign
Custom code "COMEBACK50" →50% off 1 month
Target expired subscribers only

* Launch week boost
One-time codes for 20 influencers → Free 3-month access → Track redemptions in Sales & Trends

Support recovery → Unique codes for angry users → Free month → Turns 1-star reviews into retained customers

The compounding advantage most devs miss?

Pair Offer Codes with Custom Product Pages
Run Apple Search Ads pointing to a custom page → user sees tailored screenshots → CTA includes your offer code → they convert at 2-3x the rate of generic traffic.

This is lifecycle marketing, not just "giving stuff away"
