Happy to announce that I'm joining the 5%.

Billions of people use social media, half of them post anything, and just 5% of them make content with them on camera.

This is for a side project I have with the wife (https://t.co/Y7bptkqbrO), I'll later venture into marketing content in English for myself.

Let's see where this takes us 🫡

@levelsio I think people are getting used to just talking to a chat and getting what they want. let us know if it increases usage

@ak14053 @marclou @jackfriks @levelsio It’s a lot of work man. Try to look for tools that give you visibility and optimize for SEO, GEO, AIEO, etc to start

[Fernando 🖇️ @fierronava_]

@leonabboud For a 5 min trip, sure

[Fernando 🖇️ @fierronava_]

@asaio87 me too man it’s so good lol

@degenmate @levelsio Any tips?

[Fernando 🖇️ @fierronava_]

I don't know how to code and it took me A YEAR to figure out what a complex app needs and I still have a ton to learn.

Devs and founders saying software will be commoditized are highly technical. They're experts. They can prompt a perfect app in one shot because they know all the details.

Most normies like me don't have a year to learn how to build a Notion clone.

The new standard could be copilot apps, similar to what Lovable or Ploy are doing with Marketing/SEO and guiding normies on how to build their stuff better.

[@levelsio @levelsio]

That's not really what's commoditization is about I think

It means more that the profit margin of something goes to close to zero where it's sold at cost, as in it's not really a good business anymore where you can make lots of money

It means that it's so easy to make and there's so many competitors that there's no differentiation anymore and everyone just uses whatever and again profit goes to $0

Airlines for example are a commodity service, very tiny profits, very little differentiation, you just want to go from A to B

So the idea is that's happening to SaaS software since anyone can make large parts of them pretty easily these days, or well that's the theory, maybe it'll evolve into something new that does have an edge over AI vibecoded clones again?

Even with commoditization, there's usually a premium tier that remains, think private jets with airlines, or Michelin restaurants, but a premium tier is only a small % of the market, and it can't keep an entire industry alive!

@joelfogelman That's awesome! What do those apps do?

[Fernando 🖇️ @fierronava_]

@ceasarxuu Normal. And after that it just gets faster

[Fernando 🖇️ @fierronava_]

@Ferbin08 Exactly. Ive built lots of personal apps in a few hours. They work for me, but they all look and feel like shit, not user friendly at all

I’ve decided to sell one for users and that’s the one that’s keeping me busy

[Fernando 🖇️ @fierronava_]

@adrian_valentim @praneethkay @levelsio Yup, working around goals is working better for me these past months

[Fernando 🖇️ @fierronava_]

@MiriShipsCode @levelsio I can do that now, but it took me a few months to figure out how the initial tools work and what other tools i needed to continue building

Mostly because I wanted to learn and understand the components so i could either find cheaper alternatives or fix things

[Fernando 🖇️ @fierronava_]

Made a lot of internet points yesterday

[Fernando 🖇️ @fierronava_]

Are you this old?

[Fernando 🖇️ @fierronava_]

@WisoVazquez a huevo

[Fernando 🖇️ @fierronava_]

@podcastcbf @CaliJ98 what happens?

[Fernando 🖇️ @fierronava_]

@frantzenrichard that’s awesome! i just challenged my wife to build an app to see how far she can go

[Fernando 🖇️ @fierronava_]

@grok @jmonteer23 @praneethkay @levelsio 💀

[Fernando 🖇️ @fierronava_]

@praneethkay @jmonteer23 @levelsio what

[Fernando 🖇️ @fierronava_]

@jmonteer23 @praneethkay @levelsio @grok what are compiler mechanics?

[Fernando 🖇️ @fierronava_]

@praneethkay @levelsio Yes, but I prefer to step back a little and figure out how things work so I know how to fix them when they break.
