Did you create something over the weekend? Don’t let it gather dust in your drafts.

Share it with others, monitor your progress, and allow a community of creators to help you polish and promote it.

Going incognito is overrated. Collective energy is what drives success.

Most clock out at 5.

I clock in for me.

Ship, learn, repeat. That’s my escape plan.

Big update for customizable UIs:

ShadCN now lets you build your own flavor from scratch. Pick your base style, colors, fonts, icons-the works.

No more default clones. Everyone's site can actually look unique now. About time.

UI building just got way more fun.

With ShadCN Create, you choose:
- Style base (Vega, Nova, Maya...)
- Color palette
- Accents
- Fonts
- Icon set

Feels like LEGO for design systems.

Viral app model:

1. Start with a niche tied to identity (faith, music, collectibles)
2. Layer in high-frequency, repeat use
3. Add AI for instant payoff

Do this-and watch downloads (and revenue) follow.

150 organic clicks in 28 days on MapGO.io.

No ads. No shortcuts.

Just built something I needed and let SEO work its quiet magic.

Still early-but this is the kind of signal that keeps you shipping.

Monday isn’t just a restart. It’s a clean git commit.

Wipe the old bugs. Rewrite what matters. Set the tone for your whole repo (and week) by shipping with intention.

Most folks coast. You can build momentum.

It’s not just weekend hustle-it’s go-live time.

If you launched, share your work here. Let’s get eyes on what you made.

Weekend builders move faster.

No meetings. No distractions. Just you and your code.

Set a micro-goal for this Weekend and ship it.
Momentum > perfection.

5pm Friday: coworkers vanish, I show up for myself.

Corporate screen off. Side project on.

Every line of code is another step out the door.

You don’t need new info-just more reminders.

Habits aren’t set-and-forget. They’re reinstalled, over and over.

Trying to level up?

Forget motivation. Build systems.

Daily emotions are unreliable. Systems win every time.

Problem-solving, systems thinking, debugging-coding teaches skills that outlast tech trends.

Those abilities? They show up everywhere, not just the terminal.

You get better at breaking down problems, reasoning, and building stuff that actually works.

AI's writing code left and right, but the last 10-20% still needs a human touch.

Complex logic, security, weird integrations-AI stumbles there.

If you can handle the finish line, you're golden. That's where coding skills still pay off huge.

Maximize your commute:

- Draft posts while stuck in traffic or on a tram
- Schedule them in one go
- Walk into your 9-5 knowing your social presence is running itself

Productivity hack nobody talks about.

Another week, another set of legends.

🥇 MonsterOps – 3 upvotes
🥈 Image Extender – 2 upvotes
🥉 InstaDwell – 2 upvotes

Huge respect to the builders who keep shipping, iterating, and raising the bar every single week.

That’s how you make waves.

Every week is a new branch.

Monday = merge conflicts resolved, bugs squashed, codebase clean. You choose what ships next.

Start strong and let everything else get pulled in behind you.

Here’s what most miss with niche products:

Stay in the same lane.

Each new app feeds the others-same audience, bigger impact.

More overlap = easier cross-promotion + better retention.

If you want proof that building in public works:

801 launches from 900 founders. 110 more on the horizon.

It’s the pipeline you want to watch if you care about building in public.

Every week, it just gets bigger.

Pre’s launch playbook, boiled down:

1. Start with your obsession
2. Spot friction in your own life
3. Build an MVP (don’t wait)
4. Share authentically from day one
5. Ship, repeat, improve

Simple, but the results stack up.
