Denys | building with AI

Solo dev shipping apps with AI. Building in public: wins, fails, real numbers. Now building Notedge, an AI research library.

[Denys | building with AI @dkolosovs]

5 months of solo building. 30 seconds of video.

This is Notedge: save videos, articles, X threads, PDFs and docs → get the point in seconds → ask anything, with answers cited to the exact moment or page.

Live now with a free plan. Brutally honest feedback welcome 👇

@jacksunny18 Yes, once I knew what to look for. On mobile the route changed, but the phone layout hid the new draft until a saved chat existed. Now I run the tests at phone screen size too, so it can't hide again.

After 5 months of building my app solo with AI agents, here's my exact split: what I hand off, what I pair on, and the few things I never delegate. Plus the 3-question test I use for every task. https://t.co/bKVrsy9uXb

@tyd3n_ Love this use case! Competitor research is exactly the boring work agents are great at, especially when you're building solo.

@RayFernando1337 Great topic for a stream. Real side-by-side work on your own projects is the best way to decide.

[Denys | building with AI @dkolosovs]

@matthias_mrc For me it would be time. Hiring help for the boring parts so I can spend more hours building.

[Denys | building with AI @dkolosovs]

@Kevin_Logan Thanks for always tracking these updates. The changes to the part that runs commands on your Mac look like solid groundwork.

@olegplugaru_iq Congrats on 1K! 🎉 Growing an audience while shipping an app solo is a lot of work. Well deserved.

@genuinearticles Building in public has been the best feedback loop for me. People tell you what's confusing long before you'd find out alone.

[Denys | building with AI @dkolosovs]

@RoundtableSpace This is huge for personal software. Building an app just for yourself and running it on your own phone feels like the start of something big.

[Denys | building with AI @dkolosovs]

@MiniMax_AI Congrats on the launch! Getting audio and video in sync from a single prompt removes a whole editing step.

[Denys | building with AI @dkolosovs]

@AlexFinn Wild result. 56k visitors and two sponsors from a bot that runs on its own is a great preview of where this is going.

[Denys | building with AI @dkolosovs]

@MiaAI_lab Love this setup. Two models arguing until they agree catches so many blind spots, and capping it at 3 rounds keeps the cost sane.

[Denys | building with AI @dkolosovs]

@emanueledpt Thanks for sharing! Small prompts that change the default behavior are so underrated. Trying it today.

[Denys | building with AI @dkolosovs]

@pixel2ai My simple one: reply to people with something useful, post about what I'm actually building, and show up every day. Consistency does most of the work.

[Denys | building with AI @dkolosovs]

@rileybrown This is such a useful combo. Grok Bot reading X while Claude Code keeps building means research never blocks the work. Thanks for sharing the skill!

[Denys | building with AI @dkolosovs]

@mattyp @bot The bot getting its own inbox is such a smart move. A separate identity makes it so much safer than sharing your own account. Great update!

[Denys | building with AI @dkolosovs]

@audiee_ai @X Love that list. Lately I'm nerding out on agent review loops: one agent builds, a second one checks. Memory is next on my list.

[Denys | building with AI @dkolosovs]

@LundukeJournal Makes sense in practice. Most code has some AI help now, and the line is hard to draw. What matters is that the person who signs off on the patch owns it.

[Denys | building with AI @dkolosovs]

@deanwperkins Great question, and it gets bigger as agents touch real money. Per-agent spending limits plus a human approval step above a set amount feel like the practical answer today.

[Denys | building with AI @dkolosovs]

@reasonmachines Congrats on the launch! Better results at 22% lower cost is a great combo. The harness matters more than people think.

[Denys | building with AI @dkolosovs]

@gregisenberg Funny how fast the bar moves. A chatbot that remembered the last message once felt like magic. Now we're annoyed when an agent can't finish a whole feature alone.
