My Keywords Everywhere credits were expiring yesterday so I had Claude burn through them Asked it to do keyword research across all my projects until the credits ran out Got back a full SEO audit and content strategy for each site, plus a linking strategy to connect them all Gold! 🤯
If your AI conversations are getting really slow, try compacting them This happens a lot with long-context models (Opus 1M, etc) when the conversation gets too long Most tools have a "compact" or "summarize" feature that keeps the context but reduces the tokens Makes a huge difference 👍🏻
OpenAlternative is at a point where if I add new content to the site, it gets indexed and ranked *immediately* This example took only few minutes to show up in search results 🤯

People are putting "Featured on OpenAlternative" badges in their hero sections now This feels wild. Never thought the brand would carry enough weight for this
OpenAlternative got featured in today's Dense Discovery Totally caught me by surprise. Been reading it for years, so this feels pretty surreal Thanks @densediscovery.bsky.social 🙏

Claude is now handling my content scheduling for @dirstarter.com. I write the articles in batches in MDX, create separate PRs for each, and they get merged automatically on their publication date 👍🏻
There are two ways to resolve the cognitive dissonance of being on Twitter while also caring about all the awful shit happening because of Twitter 1. Leave Twitter 2. Stop caring Profoundly disappointing how many people I like seem to have chosen the latter

Refreshed the design of Dirstarter to make it lighter and easier to read Cleaned up the typography, added more whitespace, and toned down the colors. The old version felt a bit heavy. We'll see how conversion reacts, but so far so good 🤞🏻 ➡️ dirstarter.com
TIL: aerial wallpaper videos on MacOS take ~43GB on your disk 🤯
Self-hosting is so easy with AI 🤯 Claude just migrated my n8n instance in 1 prompt, with data migration, DNS update, and Cloudflare tunnel. It even fixed the small issue that I had with one of the nodes 🙌🏻 Side note: love my mac mini more and more 🖤
