Things are brewing... I left my big tech PM job two months ago with a hunger for building something of my own. After some R&R with family and loved ones, I'm excited to be building products and traveling the world!

why the fuck did you even buy it in the first place then

[Wei-Ting @weitingyp]

Anybody playing or developing for OMI AI? Tell me your takeaways. Thinking about ordering a dev kit to play with

[Danielle Strachman 💗 🐈 💃 🪴 🎸 🎨 🐕 @DStrachman]

Please please please can we make skipping the default mode of transit around the Bay Area?

@oneaudreylim Love this!!! Going to save so much money on product photography

[Audrey @oneaudreylim]

It's official - we're excited to introduce https://t.co/5stQta66Ld. Generate a variety of high-converting images for your e-commerce product in minutes.

Upload a single image, describe your final image, and generate multiple images in parallel.

AI-generated product photos look like trash, or they don't quite look like your product at all. We built Staige to solve your pain points. Staige was built to generate very high-quality images for FMCG products - including beauty, food, beverage and supplements.

If you're a brand owner in the consumer product space, we'd like to invite you to try @staigeapp. We have hundreds of reference images in our style library for you to quickly generate high-quality product photos, and we're constantly growing our collection.

Good images just sell better. With Staige, you save costs and increase sales.

If you've made it this far, we have a bonus for you. 👇

@RyanJosephHill I love this first principles approach to thinking about SEO in a holistic marketing suite. Thank you so much for your advice- I’ll reflect on this and update you on how it goes!

[Wei-Ting @weitingyp]

How crucial is it for my product to be SEO optimized? Seems like a ton to learn, and takes awhile for results to incubate. Tell me your thoughts and hacks!

[Wei-Ting @weitingyp]

@quarleswithtech That's a great strategy! Sounds like short term: medium, reddit, YouTube; long term: valuable content?

[Wei-Ting @weitingyp]

@luisitoguanes I'm working on a product to help people write wedding speeches! https://t.co/1ZGP20JoGC, coming soon. It's a lot, I'm not sure how much is the minimum effective SEO - if you get what i mean

[Wei-Ting @weitingyp]

@ericdjav awesome awesome!!! gave it an upvote from my side

[Wei-Ting @weitingyp]

Day 14/#100daysofcode revised ExpressJS, then coded from scratch an ExpressJS web app that takes user input and generates text with an AI model. It's ugly tho so I'm going to refine style/details over the weekend.

[Wei-Ting @weitingyp]

It can feel vulnerable sharing learning because everyone around me seems to be building really impressive things! I have to remind myself that everyone starts somewhere.

So here goes - my accountability thread for #100DaysOfCode!

[Wei-Ting @weitingyp]

Day 13/ (had to pause to re-align with my goals but now I'm back on track - learning by building a product!) worked open AI's SDK for text generation today and set it up in Node. Tomorrow: serve the text generation function via ExpressJS and collect user input via an HTML form!

[Wei-Ting @weitingyp]

Week 1 #buildinpublic: you can now submit context and generate a wedding speech! It's ugly tho

Product definition
✅ Defined MVP features
✅ Researched competitors
✅ Spoke to 4 users

Tech execution
✅ Form to gather user context
✅ Speech generation endpoint
✅ Serve with Express

[Wei-Ting @weitingyp]

Excited to join the challenge!

Just bought my first domain -

I'm intending to build a wedding speech generator.

Excited to ship, iterate, learn!

[Wei-Ting @weitingyp]

@NickGatzoulis thank you! will definitely need to work on my content strategy

[React @reactjs]

Today, we’re deprecating Create React App for new apps, and encouraging existing apps to migrate to a framework.

We’re also providing docs for when a framework isn’t a good fit for your project, or you prefer to start by building a framework.

[Wei-Ting @weitingyp]

@Varnann_B Thanks!

[Wei-Ting @weitingyp]

Bought a domain today -> https://t.co/1ZGP20IQR4. I'm going to build a speech generator over the next week- let me know if you'd be willing to share feedback/follow my progress! #buildinpublic

[Wei-Ting @weitingyp]

@esther_confused I was actually learning from scratch! Using The Odin Project's resources for front-end JavaScript. I'm hoping that the front end frameworks will simplify set-up for sure - I'll learn Svelte after getting some iterations with Express in (:
