... really underestimated how hard it would be to pick one. Before launch, I was considering things like: Will users trust something that processes their messages with a model they have never heard of? What is the real uptime record, versus the claimed one? Do I go cheap/free , or pay more for something that will last longer? Self-hosted? Or just ride on someone else s frontier model and take their roadmap? I took a solution and moved ... ... itself was the problem. It turns out it was being decommissioned that October, and apparently a silent outage is how that gets communicated. I re-engineered the architecture to always have a backup model running in parallel, which quietly nibbled

... grew up in Mumbai and actually knows where to find decision-makers here including founders who don't exist on LinkedIn at all. But that's a hard one-liner to explain, so I just say "91% accuracy vs 60%" and move on. Comment from Rishav Rajak(@rishav_rajak): "Is this like Apollo?" Yes and no. Apollo is great for the US market. We specifically solve for India and emerging markets where global databases have terrible coverage. The real answer ... ... already look for integrations does more than any link-building campaign. Comment from Maliik(@maliikb): Mine is "so I just set up a profile and receive alerts?" The honest answer is: yes, kind of, but that's the floor. Nibble

... pilot for SEO and GEO. Here is what it does. It connects to your Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4. It reads your data every day. It watches your rankings, your traffic, your content decay, your competitors. Then it sends you a weekly briefing. Not a dashboard. Not a report. A briefing. In plain English. "Here are your top three priorities this week. Here is why they matter. Here is what to do. Here is the effort versus

... easier in the sense as far as knowing the market (although there always is room to learn of course) Comment from Maliik(@maliikb): For me the signal was: are people already doing this manually, inefficiently? I'm building Nibble, a recall and food safety tracking app. Before I started, I looked at how people actually find out about recalls. The answer was: they don't. Or they stumble across a government press release three weeks late. Or they check ... ... specific scenarios where someone would search for this exact thing? If I can't, the idea is probably noise. If I can and the search terms have low competition because the moment is niche enough not to attract generic competitors

... something you think about each time. Feels like productivity is less about doing more and more about removing friction between steps. Comment from Maliik(@maliikb): Biggest one for me: batching by context, not by priority. When I'm building Nibble, I'm switching between frontend, backend, data pipelines, marketing, community - all in the same day sometimes. I used to organize by "what's most important." Now I organize by what mode my brain is already in. If I'm deep ... ... opinion Comment from Blake at Vassant(@blakeatvassant): Even though young people love doing it, I m convinced listening to music while working harms true productivity by forcing your brain to constantly switch between two modes (work mode vs

... specific about your role. "I led the recall classification system" hits differently than "I worked on the app." People respect honesty about scope more than vague claims of ownership. The "less visual" problem is real though. With Nibble, most of my best work is backend logic, data pipelines, regulatory parsing. None of it screenshots well. What's helped: show the outcome, not the artifact. A before/after, a metric like my recall insights page, hopefully soon a user story. The work ...

Strong fit at AI startups needing someone to integrate and ship, not train foundation models. linkedin.com/in/rohankumarvg / portfolio at rohanbuilds.com Comment from Maliik(@maliikb): @fmerian  Thanks! And congrats on the Kilo Code v7 launch today. Rebuilding the VS Code extension on the same portable core as the CLI is a serious architectural move. The worktree-per-agent isolation is the kind of thing that only comes up as an issue once you've actually run parallel agents into ... ... each other. #1 well deserved. Comment from Maliik(@maliikb): Looking for work Background: Full-stack engineer, solo-built Nibble

... Solo builder here, won't say much about the product yet but happy to talk shop on the plumbing. Quick version of what I'd tell my past self: Auth - Supabase, Clerk, Auth0, pick one. An afternoon of setup vs. days of building it badly. I tried the days version first, do not recommend. Permissions - this is the sneaky one. Most people check "can this user see this?" in their app code. Way better to push the rule into ... ... because they validated with surveys instead of money. Stack is intentionally boring: Next.js, Supabase (auth + DB), Vercel for hosting, Stripe for billing. The interesting part is the research engine underneath we scrape job boards, Reddit pain threads, and competitor

... everyone! I'm Maliik, a solo dev building Nibble, a food recall alert app for families. It tracks recalls personalized to your household, including kids and pets. Currently in closed testing on Android and live on the web. Been a long road getting here as a solo builder, so figured I'd finally say hello to the community. Looking forward to connecting with other makers here ...

Tahoe) adds Spotlight actions, clipboard history, shortcuts and local file/app commands that mimic Raycast features Power users on Reddit agree it may cover basic use cases, though Raycast s deeper integrations and extensions still future proof it . Spotlight now nibbles at Raycast s territory but for power users, the third party tool still holds values.
