@Sinemqgzm @grok what is it in this picture?

[Heng @heng_devlife]

The results from gpt image 2 are absolutely stunning.

Can you tell which of these images was generated by gpt image 2 ?

Have fast moving indie developers already launched APIs using it.

[kitze the 🐐 @thekitze]

i asked gpt-image-2 to 90s-maxxx our boring ass kitchen and i just want to ask WHERE DID WE GO WRONG AS HUMANS WE USED TO HAVE IT ALL

@Cloudflare has opened up email sending and receiving (looks like it requires at least the $5 plan).

You couldn't send emails before, so this is great! @resend can finally take a break.

[Heng @heng_devlife]

Begin moving my main services from @vercel to @coolifyio today for more flexibility.

I am not a @nextjs expert but I have a pro assistant @claudeai .

[Heng @heng_devlife]

Claude's desktop app charges usage separately?

Also, the Mac version is incredibly laggy after the update. Trash frontend, probably coded by AI.

@sshahadatgsm I am building a user registration flow monitoring tool. No code required, just provide a URL and it automatically monitors whether the process from new user registration to payment is running smoothly.

This ensures developers never lose a single user.

If you are doing indie hacking with Next.js, forget about Vercel, Supabase, and Trigger.
Use @Cloudflare Workers, Pages, D1, R2, and Workers KV instead. They are much cheaper and offer way more value.

[Heng @heng_devlife]

I don't understand why everyone uses Base44 and Lovable instead of just using Codex or Claude to generate a website. 🙄
The difficulty is about the same since it's just inputting a single sentence.
The cost is significantly lower, and you have complete control over your data.

[impulsive @weezerOSINT]

Lovable has a mass data breach affecting every project created before november 2025.

I made a lovable account today and was able to access another users source code, database credentials, AI chat histories, and customer data are all readable by any free account.

nvidia, microsoft, uber, and spotify employees all have accounts. the bug was reported 48 days ago. its not fixed. They marked it as duplicate and left it open.

@Amank1412 I tried for the whole afternoon and it didn't work 😁

[Heng @heng_devlife]

@adxtyahq If this isn't a screenshot, is it an AI generated image?

[Heng @heng_devlife]

@AayushSainii @claudeai Thank you, independent development isn’t easy, and good tools can make things much more efficient.

[Heng @heng_devlife]

This combination is absolutely fantastic and worth noting for every indie developer.
A one person company is definitely not just a dream.

Give these new tools a try:

Don't hire a designer — Use 'Claude Design' ( from @claudeai )
Don't hire a video editor — Use 'video-use' (open-source & free from @browser_use )

[Pascal @creatorpascal]

Don't hire a designer — Use @canva
Don't hire a developer — Use @cursor_ai
Don't hire a copywriter — Use @claudeai
Don't hire a video editor — Use @CapCut
Don't hire a marketer — Use @beehiiv
Don't hire a bookkeeper — Use @QuickBooks

It's 2026. You can run a $1M business alone.

[Heng @heng_devlife]

In the age of AI, the command line has become the most convenient universal tool.

Therefore, AI will not replace programmers; on the contrary, programmers will become the core of one person companies. PM, PO, UI, and QA will all be replaced by AI first.

[Heng @heng_devlife]

Years ago, a friend told me:
'If the first thing you do when building a new product is start writing code… you're already screwed.'
It took me way too long to truly understand what he meant.
Still hits hard.

[Heng @heng_devlife]

@richardnystrom Oh, then you have a product I can try.

I made a tool that can fully automate the testing of website registration and payment flows just by entering the URL. It is still in the early stages, do you think you have a use case for this feature?

[Heng @heng_devlife]

@sachelik The data looks quite good. My project is using browser-use, I hope to try Lumen next time.
Is this one not using DOM recognition, and does that result in better performance?

[Heng @heng_devlife]

@zouyanjian 先记下来，以后试试。CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW 应该对大任务有好处，不过我还是默认用的多。
