Building rinhelp.com to help founders and engineers fix technical support fast. Previously sold 3 startups.

I'm working on a new thing: rinhelp.com It's an AI agent that helps you fix technical support issues without having to steer another agent. It's built for founders and engineers who ship fast with AI and handle customer support on a daily basis. I'd really appreciate your honest feedback.

AI Support Diagnosis for Technical Support Teams – Rinhelp

Find the root cause of technical issues without babysitting another agent. Rinhelp starts from the support thread and returns an evidence-backed diagnosis draft for internal review.

Happy new year everyone! 🎇 This year I want fewer goals and better questions. Not “How do I grow faster?” But “What’s worth growing at all?” What question are you carrying into this year?

1/ There were times in my indie journey when I just wanted to give up. – Customers churn – Fraud and abuse – Little to no conversion – You name it

Despite the greatness of Next.js and Astro, has any of you built and maintained a landing page that's built with Vite and React? What are the downsides? I'm considering detangling the stack from the ever-changing JS ecosystem here.

Use 3.7 for architecting and/or implementing a feature. Use 3.5 for focused tasks. Now we have a superteam of engineers. And guess what? You are now getting promoted to be the CTO.

Is it just me? I tried the same prompt in Claude Sonnet 3.7 and OpenAI o3-mini-high for a simple design decision in React code. Claude Sonnet 3.7 decided to follow the design convention, but it followed the code that I've commented out. Continued... 👇

Anyone still documenting indie-making journey on blog or newsletter? I miss a good ol' writing that's free from algorithm-pleasing notions. Am I getting old? 😅

These days are crazy. – Endless customer support – Tool launches – etc One thing for sure, doing SaaS is freakin’ hard! Now trying to get calm while watching the fire around me. P.S. I feel bad when I miss your important update. Send me one?

We didn't make it to the top 3, but that's okay! Thank you for your support for this little tool. If you happen to make something cool with it, please don't be hesitant to tell me 😉 Cheers! 🥂

Makers, I need your help 🙏 Currently Markdown to email is at the 5th place and a few votes away to climb up. My goal is to reach the top 3 (am I asking too much? 🥲). Please do your magic! 🪄

I had an interesting conversation with a potential competitor—yes, you read it right: competitor—about whether or not he can make money by copying Lavish. Here is the most important part 👇 If you are bullish about email marketing, don't hold yourself back and start shipping!

I still don’t get the DeepSeek R1 hype – people canceling their ChatGPT or Claude subscriptions. The chat didn’t work 99% of the time for me. When it worked, I had to click “continue” a couple of times. Time to get back to work 🙂

There are always things that need to be added, especially nearning the launch day. Suddenly my Trello cards are filled with improvements, improvements, and improvements. Time to destroy all those cards? 🔫

I have been working on Lavish around 3 months, but I realized I haven't launched it on product discovery platforms like PH. Well, I also heard horrible stories from indies that had not been covered. Is @uneed.best the go-to indie platform for launching these days?

Finally.., it’s my first post in 2025 🌞 I planned to move to a new home in 2 days. And here we are after 2 weeks 🥹 Well, I can’t complain. Almost everything is better here and I’m looking forward to shipping more things for Lavish. I hope you have a great start this year.

There’s no better way to wrap up 2024 than this: Lavish has reached $828 ARR! 🎉 I dedicate this post to all makers who are still finding their first few customers. Is there anything you want to know behind the scenes? I might write a blog post to unpack more. #buildinpublic
