Day 1 of 50 replies a day for 7 days (plan to extend this).

Followers: 7 → 21

Also shipped on https://t.co/GL2BtGjBom today:
- Claiming your project is now free for public repos
- A full security review, a round of fixes, and a /security page
- Groundwork for private repos
- The board now shows how many commits landed yesterday and this week

Biggest surprise: the follows didn't come from my best replies. They came from the people who replied back and turned it into a conversation.

Tomorrow I do it again.

What got you your first 100 followers?

I used suno, midjourney, elevenlabs, and claude code.

@brol1dev $0 to $200 MRR and 23 updates in 61 days. The 23 updates is the part I'd frame. Congrats! What are you shipping on day 62?

[Daniel Bragg @danielbraggdev]

@Mucheru_Jay Day 138 and one character took down onboarding. Thanks for sharing. Good lessons here for us early builders.

@NPurkeypile Characters that go find their own chairs and beds is the kind of detail that makes a world feel alive. I've been building a game night site, and even simple CPU rivals took me forever. How are you handling their decisions?

[Daniel Bragg @danielbraggdev]

@SamyakSingh18 Congrats on getting it live! What was the hardest part to finish?

[Daniel Bragg @danielbraggdev]

@arm_stack Hey Aashish! WhatsApp Flows for EdTech is an interesting angle. Are you building for schools or for students directly?

[Daniel Bragg @danielbraggdev]

@Rohith_Itagi Consistency is the whole game. Good luck with the Winter Arc! What are you shipping first in October?

[Daniel Bragg @danielbraggdev]

@RobinWeinbach Hey Robin! Daniel, 39, California. What are you building right now?

[Daniel Bragg @danielbraggdev]

@unclebobmartin The hybrid idea clicks. The 5% you'd never build a feature for is exactly what an agent is good at. Do you ever turn one of those agent edits into a real feature later?

[Daniel Bragg @danielbraggdev]

@Ankur_Sehrawatt Auto tiling with zero config is exactly what I want. Every tiling tool I've tried needed an afternoon of setup. Does it handle multiple monitors?

[Daniel Bragg @danielbraggdev]

@duadeisaac Hey Isaac, Daniel here, 39, from California. What are you building?

[Daniel Bragg @danielbraggdev]

@vladasanadev Knowing when the vibe is wrong is the whole skill. I'll work to get there.

[Daniel Bragg @danielbraggdev]

@IsuhoFriday @X Hey, good to meet you! What are you building in public right now?

[Daniel Bragg @danielbraggdev]

@clicknify Hey! Daniel, 39, California. What's the SaaS? Curious what someone into sales and product ends up building. I worked in Oracle sales for years.

[Daniel Bragg @danielbraggdev]

@nicopuhlmann I do. I have a funny promo video I made on my game night site. I started with several programs to build it, but honestly, Claude Code was really good once I have it the music and art. Claude Code did the screen shots, movement, and editing.

[Daniel Bragg @danielbraggdev]

@nicopuhlmann Mostly with caps. The biggest piece of the score is how many of the last 28 days you shipped, and a solo dev can max that as easily as a team of ten. Commits and lines flatten out fast (full marks at 50 commits a week), so extra hands stop helping pretty quickly. Consistent wins.

[Daniel Bragg @danielbraggdev]

@fjzeit I've noticed it too. The models got louder and the launches got quieter. My guess is a mix. People are heads down working, and many tend to start something, "launch" it, give up when people don't buy early, and start a new project. Rinse and repeat.
