1/ I'm James. I've been an EMT, a CNA, a psych grad, and now a full-stack engineer.

This account is where I build in public. 🧵

Devs, are you using PostgreSQL or MySQL for your @AWS RDS instances? Personally, I'm loving using PostgreSQL for all my projects. I used to be a major fan of MySQL, but I feel like PostgreSQL is more secure, efficient, and usable. Let me know your tips and best practices for using RDS!

🚀 Binx Portal is live.
Six months ago, I set out to fix the part of agency work that’s always been painful: getting clients to actually engage with their project and sign off on creative work without a mess of emails and “see attached” comments. Today, it’s live, and agencies can sign up right now at https://t.co/Ymul088GQV.

The client portal is the heart of it. Clients get one clean place to see their project, message your team, answer kickoff questions, review proposals and invoices, and approve creative work — no more chasing people down for a yes.

Approvals, reimagined. Instead of a PDF and a reply-all thread, clients review work on a real canvas: pan, zoom, a guided review bar that walks them card by card through what needs their eyes, and pin comments dropped right on the exact spot that needs a change. It feels less like homework and more like Miro. Agencies get a full version history of every round of feedback.

Kickoff questionnaires turn client answers straight into tasks.

An AI lead prospector surfaces real prospective clients for your agency — something that nothing else in this space (HoneyBook, Dubsado, Bonsai, Copilot) does.

🌐 Agencies on Starter+ get their own branded subdomain.

And trying it is a no-brainer: every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial, no card required.
If you run a creative or design agency — or know someone who does — I’d love for you to take it for a spin. Feedback, good or brutal, is genuinely welcome.

@jameslattendev @X Hey man, I'm Juan, frontend developer working in my new saas https://t.co/ZMdt3iY0rQ. An app that lets agencies get client approval with a single link, saving the exact approved version and separating the included changes from those that need to be quoted separately.
