@advaitpaliwal some kind of opensource consensus. app ?

@danveloper Hello Dan,
Thank you for opening an interesting path for local AI.
To LLM engeneers out there, would it be possible to imagine a LLM designed in such a way that the next layers are predictable, in order to prefetch them and thus achieve a higher throughput ?

@kawaijoe Was this recorded?

@fakenine_ @UnMonsieurBlanc le japon est un pays ou il n'y a quasi aucune immigration (et uniquement temporaire), tout l'inverse de la France. C'est la raison pour laquelle tu trouves que c'est paisible là bas et pas en France.
Tout le monde le sais, sauf ceux qui ne veulent pas le voir

@thejaymoraes Waited even more than you did! Better late than never. Let’s gooooo

[Vincent Berthoumieux @vberthou]

Any former backend dev here that made in into entrepreneurship ?
Looking for advice, marketing is damn hard!

[Vincent Berthoumieux @vberthou]

There is no such thing as an ideal time to start your dream project. Just like there is no ideal time to have a baby.
Life is too short. Keep moving or life will move you towards an undesired direction.

@AndrewHenderson Exactly. Bad code works. Bad design remains bad

[Vincent Berthoumieux @vberthou]

Designers are better off without devs than the other way around.

I've read here multiple times that designers are in a bad situation because of AI. Well AI is better at code than design (and will probably always be) so devs are probably in an even worse situation than designers.

Sure, learning to code in 2025 is still difficult. But learning design seems even more difficult for devs than code for designers.

Crazy idea:

My app is built with flutter, so I could put the app itself in the middle of the landing page for the user to try.

- great idea?
- dumb ?
- A/B test it?

[Vincent Berthoumieux @vberthou]

Friday Feb 21:

Landing page #2

- finish design
- implement it

[Vincent Berthoumieux @vberthou]

What would be the best way to learn marketing and sales for a backend engineer that is trying to make it into indie hacking ?

[Vincent Berthoumieux @vberthou]

Finally settled on the landing page building process:

- design in figma
- export to code with builder. io
- polish with cursor
- host with vercel

[Vincent Berthoumieux @vberthou]

Thursday Feb 20:

Landing page #1

- write copy
- draft design

[Vincent Berthoumieux @vberthou]

Let’s do a fun experiment:

I’ll only use my app NotesToX to post content here. The only engagement I'll have willl through the X website to respond to comments.

Let's see what happens!

[Vincent Berthoumieux @vberthou]

Change is hard.

I've delayed the marketing aspect of building apps as much as I could, but now I need to face it.

I feel it, deep down that my brain is fighting against it, but it's gonna happen!

[Vincent Berthoumieux @vberthou]

Took me some time, but I'm finaly enjoying my own app.
Marketing is not my strength... Yet!

[Vincent Berthoumieux @vberthou]

the first version of my app is completed. I now need to refrain myself from making improvements before I make at least one sale.

[Vincent Berthoumieux @vberthou]

Here it is.
I finally shipped a fully fonctional iOS app.
Login with X, offline support, cross devices sync & much more coming soon 🚀
