For us, it started from something frustrating: creating content felt very annoying and time-consuming. We tried the classic way: scripting, memorizing, filming, editing. But none of it felt authentic. And honestly, it was eating time we needed to focus on other things.
At the same time, we kept reading the same advice everywhere: "founders should build in public and create content consistently". Easy to say but harder to do in reality. So instead of forcing ourselves to create content from scratch, we tried something simple: recording our own calls and using those moments as content.
During today s standup meeting, an idea came up about improving our presence on Reddit (for LLM search visibility and similar reasons).
One of the suggestions was to look for high-karma accounts and possibly buy them to appear more credible when posting and mentioning the product within the posts/comments. It s a tactic, sure, but to me it already feels like it crosses an ethical line. I sometimes worry they can seriously damage a company s reputation.
Supabase. Found it here three years ago. Thought it was just another backend. Now I can't imagine building without it.
Here's what it does for us at Rankfender:
Auth that doesn't make you crazy. We have users across 120+ countries. Supabase handles sign-ups, logins, password resets, magic links, OAuth with Google and GitHub. It just works. We didn't have to build any of it.
