Today is a thrilling day.

I made my first dollar on the internet (actually 9)

2 weeks ago I just had an idea, never shipped anything on the internet. Now I have 9 dollars and if I made 9 I can make 10, right?

This is your reminder to just ship it.

Forgetting great gift ideas the moment you think of them? Same.

Built a tiny app this weekend to capture gift ideas for people in your life, so you actually become a better giver.

Crazy week with @jacopo_ferilli, we went from idea (at 4 am lol) to mvp launch in just 4 days, we got a few users and feedback.
Now we refine, iterate, and level up!

Just checked my MiragenAI emails after ages—swamped with spam from the contact form. Anyone else experiencing this?

Had to throw in reCAPTCHA.

[Nicoló @vernicor]

I recently opened the miragenai codebase for the first time in months, ever since starting my full-time job. I can't help but miss those moments when I used to build my own products at my own pace, doing exactly what I wanted.
Hope to jump back on solo building soon!

@sarthakgupta072 Something I’ve been wanting for a long time, a service that reads blogs out loud to me while I’m on the bus, but you just can’t compete with one that already exists

[Nicoló @vernicor]

How do you feel when you have an idea but find out that a competitor has existed for some years, manages to offer very low prices and pretty much every feature you wanted to implement.

Do you just give up?

@sarthakgupta072 Great spirit :)

@rfgonzalezweb @PLBompard @RevolutApp where’s my share

[Nicoló @vernicor]

@dvassallo I bet >90% of EU users just hit accept without even thinking, since they appear everywhere now. You comply with the law and it adds 1 second of waiting for us to use your website, so not that big of a deal. Nobody feels insulted

[Nicoló @vernicor]

@PLBompard Because maybe I just want to catch the deal on a new product and forget about it. If I don’t like the product I don’t risk forgetting to cancel it, if I like it I just have to update my payment method.

Finally started a “steady” ft job that puts a roof on my head, and almost finished the final touches to a new update on a ios app I did a while ago.

Then, I can finally start to build a new project, when I’m going to use for the first time gpt and vision APIs, any tips?

[Nicoló @vernicor]

Almost found a job that passionates me and can support me financially.

However, I also had an idea with a friend for a product we like from a technical standpoint and that we think has potential.

How do you manage your side projects with a full time job?

#indiehackers

[Nicoló @vernicor]

What do you think about having another technical co-founder?

It surely improves shipping times, as you work at twice the speed, but is it really worth it?

#indiehackers

[Nicoló @vernicor]

Happy new year everybody! Long time no see!

Been missing for so long, stopped shipping and accepted that, for now, I need to start being employed as I need funds 😅

Will still keep shipping something, at my own pace, but I think more focused on AI and what really interests me.

[Nicoló @vernicor]

Disappeared for almost a week, doing some heavy data preprocessing for a ML project.

The dataset just wasn't up to par.

Remember: garbage in, garbage out.

Completed Day 1 of Advent of Code 2023. Nice challenge, especially in the end when I forgot an edge case while checking numbers😅

Let's see tomorrow!

#AdventOfCode

[Nicoló @vernicor]

The truth has been spoken

[Nicoló @vernicor]

What about people who follow and then unfollow you? Some also slide into DMs when pulling this move.

Is it a growth strategy? I see you in my notifications, but if you don't provide value when I check your profile, why should I hit follow? As a thank you?

@ArashJangali One was to just surf the current AI trend in that moment, one other to scratch my own itch
