AI just makes stuff up confidently, everyone who's worked with AI a lot agrees.

But to this day, I see devs allowing it to run arbitrary commands more and more often.

There's a better way to do this w/o compromising your machine.
I explain it in this video.

In other news, Crontap just got an awesome calendar! 🔥

[Dan ⚡️ @d4m1n]

low hanging fruit for cronjob/scheduling platforms:

👉 show a calendar

if I got > 3 crons I'm done 💀, so a calendar just confirms I set up things correctly.

Crontap just got a huge upgrade ✨

[Dan ⚡️ @d4m1n]

today I went from

$305/mo on Google Cloud to
$14/mo on Hetzner

today I upgraded from
1 vCPU, 2GB RAM & no storage to
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 160GB SSD

I can spin up 20 of such VMs and deploy my infra in multiple regions and still be cheaper on Hetzner vs Google Cloud

this is, in fact, the real Cloud that was promised to us

Check out the new Clobbr release 🎉

[Dan ⚡️ @d4m1n]

yeah I am probably a terrible business person 😔

why?
I rewrote the internals of https://t.co/A36yDuGo6Y because I got a combo of bad Setapp review + support email concerning the same issue.

I couldn't leave it be.
So I slept 6 hours in the past 3 days to fix this.
I want to stand by what I built and support my apps for as long as I can.
So why is this BAD for business?

I'll tell you in a second.
But first, it's time for Realtalk™

Many people in the community advocate for shipping things fast and fixing things as you go. But I think quite a lot stop at shipping fast and never do the other part.
There is an insane amount of buggy indie software that never gets patches.

I think long-term this will hurt you, either slowly or with a wrath when e.g. someone discovers a huge flaw in your apps.

👉 A polished can be a huge moat in a sea of buggy products

IMO you ship fast and either:
- kill the app; it failed. Refund everybody
- commit to maintaining the app and your image as an indie dev
(optionally, pivot and choose again)

Medium to long term this will create a user base and you will be able to get sales on new products by leveraging your brand.

🤔 But I just said this is a terrible business decision?
Well, the truth is I probably chose the wrong thing long ago. I should have pivoted or killed the app.
It's in a niche of a niche and I have built it purely on a hunch.

I stopped marketing efforts for Clobbr a while ago and sales have been going down.
So choosing to work on this vs a new product that can bring a lot more revenue (or existing one that does it) is probably a STUPID IDEA.

I don't care though, I want those 2 people that wrote to me to like the app.
I hope it's not just my ego, but a principle that I will manage to stand by for decades.

> Will I make less money?
Sure.

> Will I sleep better at night?
Absolutely.

And I do need sleep right about now 😂

I am not bragging

but don't even try to compete with me for Debug December, I am absolutely crushing it 😂

those prizes are MINE

[Dan ⚡️ @d4m1n]

this was by far my most successful launch

but I didn't build it

it was AI 😱

[Crontap @crontapp]

Sentry is awesome 🥰

[Dan ⚡️ @d4m1n]

OK this is cool.

how many times have you wanted to just see what the user is doing when something went wrong? I know I have.

well, this is basically it.
a way to see *exactly* what the user was doing before something crashed.

Sentry can do this for Flutter, React Native, iOS, and Android 🤯
You can also see network and tracing, which means you can debug something end to end. WHAT

I just built a website where you can submit Black Friday Deals free and get some reach ✨

- you get both a spot in the Github repo
- featured on the landing page
- a standalone deal page
- *soon* a product page on hunted․space

I built it all from scratch only using AI and Shipixen. Keep in mind I was sick as a 🐕
It's all automated through Github actions and re-deploys with each merged product. It fetches your Open Graph image and logo if it can find it.

It's not just to get back at Tony Dinh for catching me with my pants down with his Black Friday repo, but it's because I really wanted to see how far I can go with AI.

I was tempted to take matters in my own hands, but Copilot + ChatGPT 4o actually pretty much nailed it.

This will be an interesting future.

Anyway, working on SEO now and doing custom views for the website.

Anyway, submit your product 👇

[Dan ⚡️ @d4m1n]

$750k is a lot of money, Sentry!

this is so cool, so proud to have collaborated with a company that supports open source ❤️

we wouldn’t be able to build our little apps without it.
