VineWall Week 38 🌱

VineWall got to the Hacker News front page this week, which made the waitlist almost 3x, and exploded the closed beta DAU.

Thanks to this new influx of users, I'm pausing any growth efforts to focus on implementing the feedback I'm getting.

[Guilherme Campos @checksumbyte]

@neal_k_patel I like how SF coded the place is

[Guilherme Campos @checksumbyte]

@tekbog @PalmerLuckey @elonmusk I would not trust Elon to make even a generic off brand Tetris game

Palmer on the other hand already tried, and I bet if he wanted he could

What is your experience with Claude Design?

I think its somewhat useful, but it burns tokens like crazy, which makes the product nearly unusable...

[Guilherme Campos @checksumbyte]

This is a feature I regret not implementing before. VineWall always had an in app feedback feature, collecting feedback when people are about to delete the app would be very useful to understand what is causing churn

@Ghoul_guy_sb @Pirat_Nation This guy games!

I made a code change without AI. AMA.

[Guilherme Campos @checksumbyte]

@unixapple Im not even that mad, if anything that is validation im making something worth copying

[Guilherme Campos @checksumbyte]

Today I learned that someone AI slop copy VineWall back in March

How do I know? They used the exact same slogan and colors from VineWall 😂

[Guilherme Campos @checksumbyte]

@SwiftOnSecurity I highly doubt there is the kickbacks going on, the real explanation is more simple: During ZIRP managers/directors/vps had an incentive to have an org as big as possible, even if someone was bad, it was better for them to look the other way.

[Guilherme Campos @checksumbyte]

@_nghiatran Someone did the same thing with my app, and they had the nerve to reach me and ask for a "partnership".

They copied my exact slogan and the whole thing is an AI slop.

At the end of the day, this is confirmation that I'm going something worth to be copied :)

[Guilherme Campos @checksumbyte]

@GergelyOrosz That is sad. They had a lot of good people out there trying to do the right thing

VineWall just made to the front page of the Hacker News 🤯

I'm getting better at SVG editing 😎

@kathrynwu1 Idk I never been there, but I seen it at places I worked before.

It was not called "996" at the time, but 3-4 weeks after people be asked to work more, you could see people actually working less and doing more social activities at work.

[Guilherme Campos @checksumbyte]

@hkarthik Every time I see some place claiming to be 996, if you look how they spend the time, you see a lot of personal activities crammed in (gym, dinning, social events, etc...)
