@ash_twtz Are you on go plan?

[Venkat @randombuildr]

@OpenAI What about design? Is it better with this?

[Venkat @randombuildr]

The value proposition is excellent — I was able to secure an early supporter annual plan at $49/year, which feels like outstanding bang for the buck.

Bringing together Stripe, Dodopayments, Supabase, Google Search Console, and other sources into a single clean dashboard is genuinely useful.

Congratulations on the strong start with 43 subscribers and $2k+ ARR in just 15 days. Wishing you continued success.

@nikpolale They can copy every detail of your project.
But they can’t copy your consistency.

[Venkat @randombuildr]

@buildwithshyam Great, very few people share what they spend.

[Venkat @randombuildr]

Solo builders, what are you working on right now?

Share your product, SaaS, AI tool, side project, directory, app, newsletter, or anything you’re building.

I’ll check them out and support where I can.

Will add Interesting products to https://t.co/NpjV5ry7PA 👀

Let’s discover more builders shipping in public 🚀

[Venkat @randombuildr]

@mddanishyusuf Thanks for the quick fix.

@mark_k @AnthropicAI Who comes next?

Claude just dropped Opus 4.8 and the benchmark race is getting wild 👀

Highlights:

• 69.2% on SWE-Bench Pro
• 83.4% on OSWorld-Verified
• 1890 on GDPval-AA
• Beats GPT-5.5 & Gemini 3.1 Pro in most categories shown
• GPT-5.5 still leads in terminal coding (78.2%)

We’re entering the era where models are no longer just “chatbots” — they’re becoming full execution agents.

The interesting part isn’t only who wins benchmarks.
It’s how fast the gap between “idea → shipped product” keeps shrinking for indie builders.

2026 AI competition is insane. 🚀

[Venkat @randombuildr]

Which is better analytics?

[Venkat @randombuildr]

Are devs picking the best AI tool, or the one X talks about most?

[Venkat @randombuildr]

Hot take check: are people switching tools because the product is better, or because the pricing story is easier to justify?

[Venkat @randombuildr]

@shiri_shh @sundarpichai Add this too

[Venkat @randombuildr]

@ClaudeDevs Does it learn from dismissed warnings? Like if I mark something as intentional, will it stop flagging similar patterns in the same codebase?

[Venkat @randombuildr]

Cursor 70% off , steal deal right?

[Venkat @randombuildr]

@argofowl They will increase limits again for sure.

[Venkat @randombuildr]

@antigravity Features without good limits are not gonna work.

[Venkat @randombuildr]

@pranvtwt Yes
