We needed more customers for Drag, so we wrote a small script to find every company that uses our competitors.

It checks each website and its DNS records for the marks software leaves behind.

Here's the whole recipe, plus a prompt that builds it for you in Claude in one click. It's free and takes about an evening.

We're founders, not software engineers. AI changed that.

In the last month we built 3 products from scratch - BrainTwo, Oneway, and Commander. No developers. Just us and AI. We use all three daily.

That's on top of DragApp (200k+ users) and HeyHelp (3k+ signups), where we're now shipping features too.

We also rebuilt https://t.co/aQeHqukqz5 - it auto-generates a build log from our GitHub commits in real time. We're going to open-source it so anyone can do the same.

I'm going to share exactly how we're getting on as founder → builder there. The tools, the prompts, and the commercials that are starting to form from it.

We are rebuilding the experience of Drag. It’s a redo, a rethink from thousands of signals and insights from customers.

This post will show you how we are building a new UI / UX experience from early-stage prototypes to production-ready designs. https://t.co/AAJBfMvc6q

I love the story of @gumroad, and how @shl tells it.

$11 mil ARR, no meetings, no deadlines, no full-time employees, and he landed there by accident.

Being a Founder is one of the loneliest feelings I have experienced. Here are some coping mechanisms from @reidhoffman, Founder of @LinkedIn.

He's approached the concepts from both his angle of success (LinkedIn) and failure (SocialNet).

Rebuilding our "team" page every few months always feels like a great achievement. For me, it's a way to regularly stop, take stock, and realize the collective intelligence that we are building.

When you hide information from your team, you limit their intelligence to that of your own. When you create transparency, you can harness the full intelligence of your team, move smarter, and achieve more together. Here are Roy's thoughts - @mondaydotcom

Here’s 20 years of experience packed into 42 mins. It’s from Founder and CEO, Therese Tucker @BlackLine. She talks about stepping out to become Executive Chair, why she believes her mentors were key in her journey, and the process of bringing on a PÉ Fund

Have you heard of sawtooth growth? Amazon, Etsy, even Apple - they all did it. They tore down their company in order to scale.

That's why @jproco seeks it out in his startups. It's a persuasive read - here is this week's featured content on FC: https://t.co/iOMOYsr4er

[Nick Timms @timmsbuilds]

@elwatto More than welcome, @elwatto Great value for CTOs 💪🏽

[Nick Timms @timmsbuilds]

Thoughtful piece from Miguel, Co-Founder @RevenueCat on how you should think about scaling as a Founder (non-CEO). He explains how CTO's should be thinking for scale in a world where there is less knowledge.

Thanks, @elwatto. You're FC's choice today 🔥: https://t.co/8wzJUwkJb0
