Lost my @wip shipping streak because I am building for @hospitableHQ now and simply forgot about it ๐Ÿ˜…

Monetization idea, @marckohlbrugge? ๐Ÿ˜„ I can imagine that there are plenty of people who'd pay a couple of $$$ for a streak freeze (a-la Duolingo)

In other news: I have now made my entrance into the top 25 on @wip (based on shipping streak, not revenue hahaha) ๐Ÿ˜„

Currently experimenting with a collapsible sidebar to make it possible to have a persistent GPT session while using โฆ@gistreaderโฉ.

Still a rough concept, but thinking of something like this.

#buildinpublic
Biggest challenge besides marketing that I have experienced in the past couple of months building @gistreader: code is not the hard part; deciding what to build next is.

There is just so much cool stuff that I can build, but I can't do it all at once ๐Ÿ˜…

Just installed umami.is on a couple of websites. Open source, GDPR compliant, super light weight analytics.

Not sure if it's a keeper yet (too early to say) but I love the simplicity of it.

ยฟHablas espaรฑol?

@gistreader now supports 29 languages for its AI summaries, including a couple of right-to-left languages (which I don't read so pleaaaase let me know if something is not correct ๐Ÿ˜…)

Transform any article into a summary in your own language.

This just happened! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

I was just answering some support questions when I got this @lmsqueezy notification in Slack.

โœ… First ever payment via Lemon Squeezy!

To the person who subscribed, if you are reading this: thank you ๐Ÿ™ will keep on shipping.

Every time I feel kind of good about a feature that Iโ€™ve built, I see someone else build the most awesome / smart / complex thing and Iโ€™m just like โ€œmeh I suckโ€ all over again ๐Ÿ˜…

Over a year since my last blog post, so it's about time.

Had to dismantle large parts of my website to get it to deploy (outdated deps), but here are some words about GistReader ๐Ÿ˜…

Now that search is lightning fast, let's see if I can use @gistreader as a research assistant while I build my next big feature... ๐Ÿ‘€

Most of the trials have expired now. More than 350 of them.

Guess how much of them upgraded?

Zero. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Interesting: removed the free plan from gistreader.com and rewrote copy to mention the free trial. Expected signups to halt, but nope.

I guess there is still hope ๐Ÿ˜…

Still so many ideas I want to implement. Esp GPT w/ embeddings has so much potential

Feed search is now live!

Have a feed that deserves a place in the search results? Let me know ๐Ÿ˜

Under the hood we now use @meilisearch for both feed + article search which should make it super snappy ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Hacked together a first proof of concept of the "add content" auto-completer tonight.

Would love to finish it but my mac battery is at 2% and this seems like a good signal to call it quits for today ๐Ÿ˜…

#buildinpublic
๐Ÿ‘€ Do you have an awesome website, blog or resource that you think should be available in the search, by default?

Let me know in the comments and Iโ€™ll add it to @gistreader!

Today: enjoying the weekend, mostly, but got some tasks done as well.

โœ… Integrated @flareappio instead of @getsentry (sorry Sentry! Love your app to bits but need to cut costs). Will evaluate if it's permanent.
๐Ÿšง Started work on an easier way to add content

Another benefit now that @gistreader is hosted on a "plain" server: I get to use @laravelphp Horizon again ๐Ÿคฉ

The tooling simplicity of the Laravel ecosystem is unmatched.
