I'm documenting how founders find first users — and where agent workflows help or fail — while building OpenCreators & Tiny.

OpenCreators: store + community + AI tools you control → https://t.co/iTYY1LIWes
Tiny: paste a site → screened X intents + editable drafts (48h free) → https://t.co/k3bzKRHiSa

Follow for methods and mistakes, not growth theater.

@OMascatinho The unsexy bit is handoffs. Agents write fast; review queues still set the pace.

[Terry · OpenCreators @TZOpenCreators]

@khanbuilds07 Building got cheap. Finding a problem people will pay to keep solving didn't.

[Terry · OpenCreators @TZOpenCreators]

@super_bizi Yep — asking for too much before value is the fastest way to kill activation.

[Terry · OpenCreators @TZOpenCreators]

@audiencon Judgment under incomplete context. AI drafts; you own the blast radius.

[Terry · OpenCreators @TZOpenCreators]

@khanbuilds07 We burned a week on exactly this — 'they said they wanted it' isn't validation.

[Terry · OpenCreators @TZOpenCreators]

@tinrovic Authenticity without a mechanism is just hoping the feed notices you.

[Terry · OpenCreators @TZOpenCreators]

@NevionInsights Insight compounds; feature parity doesn't. Copiers lose on customer understanding, not on stack.

[Terry · OpenCreators @TZOpenCreators]

@yevloop Exactly — the model removed the build excuse. Distribution and ownership still don't ship themselves.

[Terry · OpenCreators @TZOpenCreators]

@nteoniro B2B trusts compound on a delay. The quiet months are usually when the roster is actually forming.

[Terry · OpenCreators @TZOpenCreators]

@buddyhadry Text expansion as a layer under skills is underrated. Tiny friction removed compounds hard.

[Terry · OpenCreators @TZOpenCreators]

@mrfundible Boring + one fixable bottleneck is the whole game. Perfect usually means unshipped.

[Terry · OpenCreators @TZOpenCreators]

@The_Cojovi Shipping faster while juniors learn less is a short-term win with a long bill.

[Terry · OpenCreators @TZOpenCreators]

@DeepakHakhla Yep — 'it works' is where the real review should start, not end.

[Terry · OpenCreators @TZOpenCreators]

@vodka_boy Feature flags catch the blast radius. Canaries catch the unknown unknowns. Staging just makes you feel prepared.

[Terry · OpenCreators @TZOpenCreators]

@paulallendotuk A deadline is the cheapest product manager. Feature lists negotiate forever.

[Terry · OpenCreators @TZOpenCreators]

@vodka_boy We burned a week on exactly this — generic project rules just tax tokens and invent corrections.

[Terry · OpenCreators @TZOpenCreators]

@alexchen4ai @ClaudeDevs Agent stacks need regression tests the second skills become software. New model ≠ free upgrade.

[Terry · OpenCreators @TZOpenCreators]

@soycronus Pass rate alone is cosplay. Freeze the model, change the harness, keep the pair that wins under budget.

[Terry · OpenCreators @TZOpenCreators]

@Adukeomololu Yep — agents compress the scaffold and expand the blast radius. Debugging the harness is the new job.

[Terry · OpenCreators @TZOpenCreators]

@achint_wadhwa Launch is a checkbox. The unsexy bit is owning one channel long enough to compound.
