Are we all here because we think this is genuinely a better app than X? Or do we just dislike X and needed an alternative?

I just hit 150 followers on X and realized that I have exactly 100 here on BlueSky. Kind of cool. More people should follow me.😂
Tonight I'm dual wielding two projects. I have two browser windows and two cursor windows, one set per monitor, and Trent the Traveler on my third monitor for some background noise. #buildinpublic
HOw do you keep track of your project and what remains? Genuinely curious. I'm thinking of using github issues but I also need it split out by project. SOmething like Linear is a bit too busy for me, but Notion is not specific enough. Ideas? #buildinpublic
I've been working on three things: 🌴 Travel web app 🚘 Automotive community platform 📊 Agency reselling gohighlevel Biz, hobby, "sure thing". But I feel like maybe I'm spreading myself too thin, with a day job and an infant. Without saying the infant - What do I need to get rid of? #buildinpublic
I've been launching SaaS's since 2006. I think I might suck at marketing. Need to build a painkiller instead of a platform, actually. #buildinpublic
The office hours command from Garry Tan's GStack is worth the effort to install and run. By far. The rest of it is cool, but that office hours command kind of blew my mind. #buildinpublic
8 months ago or so, I rebuilt a 20 year old SaaS of mine. It took me a month of vibe coding and design etc. Yesterday, I rebuilt it in half a day. Fully functional and arguably better than my hand-picked version. Mind blowing. #buildinpublic
Maybe this is a weird take, but I feel like in 2026 search engines and preview generators should be able to properly parse JavaScript. Server-side rendering should be a thing of the past at this point.
Look, if you had one prompt. One opportunity... to code everything you ever wanted in one moment Would you launch it? or just let it sit? #buildinpublic
Last night I started building and public and live blogging it on X. Fell asleep 3 entries in. Like a boss. 😂
What do your business cards look like? I want to see some creativity! #buildinpublic

What's everyone on #buildinpublic using for their SaaS billing solution? Is Chargebee worth it over Stripe?
The final project I'm working on is called NurtureHub. It's a discovery platform for doulas, midwives, birthing centers, and anything else to do with the baby industry. Yes, my projects are all platforms. I kinda need a simple SaaS that solves a simple problem, but this is what I have for now.
The second project is called FuelEmpire, and this is a relaunch of something I initially launched in 2006. It is a platform for the car culture to communicate and share their passion. It's kind of a spoken hub model with many communities and a centralized network.
I've been asked what I'm working on. It's three different projects. First up is TravelBreeze.com. This platform lets travel agencies and advisors manage their business. It includes a CRM, planning, automations, sales, and reporting. I also own a travel agency with 35 agents to dogfood the platform.
In the world of AI, whats the future for identity? I don't mean authentication, I mean identity. Once AI gets better at solving captchas than us, there will be so many fake profiles on every site. How will we be able to prove a human is even a human, let alone "John Smith" specifically?
My 9-5 contract suddenly ended, and the job market is a beast right now. Looks like #buildinpublic might be my biggest play in motion right now. *cracks knuckles* lets get at it.
Anyone have any good prompts for optimizing next js? I've audited but I think I can go further. :D #buildinpublic #devlog
I've decided to close X and #buildinpublic on BlueSky only. Honey, I'm home.
I think Mastodon is a fantastic tool but is really lacking community discovery. This seems to be an area that Bluesky has excelled and obviously X is pretty good at it as well given its centralized nature. But if Mastodon wants to survive and thrive it's going to need to adapt somehow.
In the prep room, wife about to go in for a c section. The grind don't stop. ...actually it's just kinda boring so I figured I would code a little while she's getting some tests done. 😂 #buildinpublic #devlog
🛑 Stop trading momentum for a prettier dashboard. "Shiny Tool Syndrome" is often just productive procrastination in disguise. We convince ourselves a new framework or AI editor is an accelerant, but if you’re spending three days reading documentation, you’re actually hitting the brakes. 1/2
Well, dang. It looks like BlueSky is poppin for the #buildinpublic crowd. I'm here for it.
Darn. I wanted to change my handle to jïmmy.com but bluesky can't handle punycode domain names 🥹
I created a little word search for my wife and figured it was cool enough to put online. 100% vibe coded and no backend 😂 (and no ads!) dailydig.app #buildinpublic #devlog
