Builder of things
Not a clanker

I met some lovely frontends today, they seemed concerned that running their basic bitch frontend is going to cost them thousands and thousands of dollars outside of shopify's hydrogen.

Here's how you don't ever have to worry about that again.

Don't use Next or any overengineered React BS - pick Svelte or Angular and ask Big Daddy Claude how to set up @SST_dev to host the static assets in r2, SSR the page on @cloudflare workers and use r2 as a proxy cache optimiser for your images.

It will cost you - literally less than 100 dollars, to serve a couple million users a month (if you're just building a frontend like these guys were)

Source - My software serves well over a billion sessions per month and my hosting bill is a fraction of a percent of revenue.

It's not a venture bet - market size is a small puddle
It's not super scalable - the overwhelming majority of shopify apps are not overly big
It's cloneable with claude - In a ecosystem of devs, devtooling needs to be an absolute no brainer to use
In the hard to sell 2-10m arr range(?) - It's hard to find the right buyers, too small for equity, too big for most small operators

Posting hot takes and decent replies and the only followers gained are the porn bots.

Cmon man

@trashh_dev Negative dopamine for me, it removes the satisfaction of building something that works beautifully.

You mean to tell me that @tobi has clocked the internet with AI yet the partner portal for shopify is now split totally in two and is a nightmare to use.

Spare some tokens for the partners team plz

People talking about the new model and their experience using it be like:

@trashh_dev A new factory for you to prompt in.

[Claridgicus @claridgicus]

@BratDotAI @mrtbgz Brother you just never know until you do it and start plugging the holes.

Believe in yourself to figure it out quickly - worst thing you do is you add a free trial for 30 days and kick non paying users out.

[Claridgicus @claridgicus]

Unpopular take: With modern code splitting and lazy loading solutions there is simply no reason to server side render anything that isn't public facing.

[Claridgicus @claridgicus]

Loop this, queue that.

Show me the money

@ChShersh Clearly not asking Claude to "not make mistakes" when they are implementing date functionality

[Claridgicus @claridgicus]

@TheAwesomeTuvia Are you sure that's not someone's agent scraping your app so he can clone it?

In my experience users almost never use everything in a single sitting.

[Claridgicus @claridgicus]

@trashh_dev Thas not the prompt factory sir, you've just lost 1 month of productivity

[Claridgicus @claridgicus]

@trashh_dev What are you a hobit with better than perfect vision and organisational skills

16 is the way

The irony of someone with a speeding kills sticker on their car blowing every stop sign is not lost on me

@vimtor can we have the auto deploy console be made responsive so I can watch a deploy from my phone please?
