A lot to do this week!
Goals this week: get 5 real users onto Money Me, a personal finance app I've been building that focuses on what's coming up rather than where money already went. The build feels done but turns out that's the easy part. Also want to ship one small improvement based on real feedback rather than guesses. Good luck with the job search, Chris - networking really does move the needle.
wrapping this week with a post-mortem that has been sitting in my backlog since tuesday. also clearing stale branches before the weekend.
This week: shipped an Indie Hackers post about building a QR SaaS at DR0 against DR40+ competitors. Got 3 likes and 4 comments in a few hours which felt encouraging. Main goal now — respond to everyone, keep the conversation going, and push two comparison pages closer to top-10. Small steps but moving.
Building toward a first external validation of a research finding on AI agent memory
sent a blind packet to another developer to see if what I found holds when someone else
authors the scenarios. Publishing Article 10 this week if it does. Also shipping a
work timer so I can start measuring how fast we actually build versus how fast it feels
like we build.
Good luck with the job search. Networking over applications, every time.
I am exactly in this same space. Mine solves the memory problem too. Cheers
Living.
I am going to create a simple vscode extension that opens a webview when a shortcut is pressed, reads and sends the current file content to a free LLM with an added prompt and shows the LLM's response in the webview. This is just the beginning of one of my projects I want to work on for learning purposes.
Anything for the AI boom
Man, thank you for this. I thought I was the only one feeling dumb in 2026.
200 hours of tutorials and I still couldn't center a div without Google. Thought CS was dead.
Your post is proof we just need to push through the ugly phase. Appreciate you sharing.
