idk why, but somehow the VS Code chat window performs the worst out of all the editors I’ve tried, even with Opus 4.5. What kind of sick system prompt are you guys using? Something like: “Please do not solve issues so AI can’t take over our jobs.” @microsoft.com

Every single day of the past three years, I spent building and trying to grow a SaaS, but about ~40 days ago, I shut down all my projects and my company. I think it was the most severe burnout I’ve ever experienced in my life, and its effects still haven’t entirely faded.

I just made SDK integration ridiculously simple. It used to require adding a target element, including a script, and an extra block to trigger the mount process. Now it only takes 1 line of code to add the Stories Widget to your website. Just copy → paste → done. #buildinpublic

I believe I’ll complete the user guides for popular no-code platforms and frameworks tonight, and then it’ll be ready. Price will be $1 for the first month, then $4.99. For the yearly plan, the cost is $60, but with a special launch offer, it’s $30 (50% off). We’ll see. #buildinpublic

I just tested the final state of the stories widget live on a website. I like the overall feel, but I need to load the next story earlier to prevent blink. I believe it’ll be quick, engaging, and built to boost conversions. Here’s the screen record from my phone #buildinpublic #saas #marketing

Okay, here we go. I haven't even purchased the domain, but the MVP is about to be ready. The idea is simple: an Instagram-like stories widget for your landing page or web app. Engagement, the way people already love it. #buildinpublic #indiehackers #saas

I’d been focusing on @usemevo.com for a while, but here we go again, after months, I’ve got a new idea, and I’m turning it into an MVP before next Monday. Let’s see how it goes. #buildinpublic

when I tried gpt-5 for the first time, it felt a bit meh. then my free cursor gpt-5 credits expired and I switched back to sonnet 4, and I instantly noticed the difference. I don’t think I’ll ever go back from gpt-5 anymore.

After the flow feature, @usemevo.com is slowly evolving from a chatbot builder into an n8n alternative. Your chatbot will remember all previous interactions and user attributes, guide users through different paths based on those attributes, execute background actions, and much more. #buildinpublic

Is your chatbot responding to everyone in the same way? You’re losing conversions. With Mevo’s Conditional Jumps, your chatbot can: - Send each user down a unique path - Trigger actions based on data & answers Why settle for generic replies when you can give personalized conversations at scale?

Keeping up with developments in artificial intelligence can feel like a full-time job. I don’t want to fall behind, but I struggle to keep up with all the news. Something significant seems to happen every week. When I try to follow everything, I barely have time left to apply any of it.
