Working on a new feature for my product and Claude code is quite insane at brainstorming product design 🤯 Just described what I want to see and instead of producing tons of text it created a simple wireframe of how it might look like.

Bootstrapping BlogBowl - easiest way to start your blog 🔥 Building https://blogbowl.io 👨💻
20:30: have an idea to add 2 new Google Search Console endpoints 21:00: endpoints added to API, skill is updated, documentation is updated. Claude fast, ship fast 😄
My SEO slowly starts to take off. Product Hunt launch gave a small boost, so I am now starting to focus more on the SEO and content. I mean I am dogfooding my own product 😎 What works so far: - listicles - competitor pages Just started publishing free tools as well
Went with my co-founder Claude for a beer. we spoke a lot about growing our B2B product. He said that he'll add some new interesting features to our platform soon 😄
Made almost ~$230 today. My SaaS makes some money 3rd day in a row. but still marketing is kind chaotic... don't have a system yet
Your B2B stack is too expensive → steal this $0 per month Open-Source setup (6 tools inside) 🧵 Save it for later #buildinpublic
What are your plans for the weekend? Working or chilling? 🤔 #buildinpublic
Feel prod that BlogBowl goes right after Gemini in Top of Best products of November on Product Hunt 😄 #buildinpublic

Lot's of you asked me to "share tips" on how to get #1 on Product Hunt. So here are my unstructured notes about launching on PH 👇

I am trying to sell one of my projects on Flippa 😀 To be honest do not believe that I will be able to sell it for the reasonable amount, but just wanted to give it a try and see how it will end up. Anyone here had experience selling website on Flippa? #buildinpublic
I’ve tried launching BlogBowl 3 times on Product Hunt… and never got featured 🫣 It honestly hurts - 1.5 years of work, fully open-source, solving a real problem. IT EVEN HAS AI INSIDE IT 🤖 #buildinpublic
I finally found time to start preparing open source version of BlogBowl 🔥 Let's see how it goes... #buildinpublic
I had a crazy and productive week. Lot's of calls, met a lot of new people and I am super happy that BlogBowl right now is at the point, where it helps me to connect with amazing people...
I was feeling really overwhelmed by lots of distractions recently. I write to X, linkedIn, indiehackers and a lot of notifications were coming. Few days ago I turned off all notifcations, now I feel way better...
I finally had time to go over and prepare lots of listicle and comparison topics to boost my SEO. Now, BlogBowl will write and publish blog post daily completely with AI. No effort. No headaches. Just set it and forget it. i built a monster 🤯
What are your plans for the weekend? Working or chilling? 🤔 #buildinpublic
X shuts down how will you sale? Will you still make some money? #buildinpublic
Honestly, it's soo easy to collect subscribers, write and schedule newsletter using BlogBowl. This is one of the ways I am dogfooding my own product. P.S. I am taking things seriously, I even started sending the newsletter with latest changes 😄 #buildinpublic
