Yes, autocorrect I do want to say "5 Monroes". I always mean Monroe's instead of minutes, why thank you

Eating ugly frogs with Codex is insanely fast 🚀.

6 months ago, I had a designer redesign the pricewell.com app shell.
I've had a go at implementing the design within my existing framework but never found enough time or motivation to have a proper go at it.
Here's my workflow👇🏻

Just codex cli and I implementing a redesign while waiting for the @bubble event in London today

Q: Are your customers struggling to change their address?
A: Give them more "Continue" buttons!

Fantastic UX here from B&Q. </sarcasm>

I just check directions to a mate's house. Apparently the A47 is a cycle path?!?

Startup idea 💡

Collab with DHL and other lockers to offer their unused space as storage.
Trying to store a bag in a European city is a nightmare even with a startups that offer space in a corner shop (often closed on a Sunday for example).

App idea 💡
Route planner that tells you the weather for each day on your trip.
Morecase is sooo close but it presumes I'll continually move from point to point.

Developers as Sales Agents

B2B sales relies on strong networks. Developers often have these networks from past roles and meetups. Salespeople have ZERO network as they don't come from tech industry.
How can we leverage developers' networks for sales?

🚉 Train 3: Eurostar Brussels Midi -> London Kings X
🏁 Speed: 23 Mbps 💨
🤞 Reliability: Intermittent, connection cut out for 10 minutes randomly
March 26, 2025 at 5:29 PM
🚉 Train 2: IC Köln -> Brussels Midi
🏁 Speed: 880 Kbps
🤞 Reliability: Reasonable (can hear the dial up cogs whirring)

Travelling 🚂 Berlin -> Cologne -> Brussels -> London today.
It takes roughly the same amount of time as a work day (including change overs) so I'm working from the trains. Wifi varies between the trains

🚉 Train 1: IC Berlin -> Köln
🏁 Speed: 1.4 Mbps
🤞 Reliability: Good

I'm lacking motivation to work on my business ... oh wait, there it is

Even a senior developer can 100x dev time by harnessing AI. From idea to working prototype in 30 minutes 🔥 Using:

- v0
- Cursor Agents
- 15 years of dev knowledge (a lot of people forget this one)

Downloaded all my tweets so I can keep my data away from Elon. Pleased to find out I've always been hilarious.

The best kind of PR. Tell me I'm wrong...

I'd love to see an Indie Hackers Conference in 2025

I'd love to hear the journey/lessons from people like
- @philippkeller.com
- @dmonn.com
- @matthiasneumayer.com

Could be short presentations during the day and an evening get together.

I'm still blown away 🤯 by what v0 can build. I'm using it to scaffold MVP ideas. Not only does it come up with a half decent UI, it structures everything nicely in component folders.

Here's a basic landing page builder built with React and Tailwind

Some SaaS products seem to take off instantly (looking at you AI wrappers) and others need some help. I wrote a bit about this and the redesign we're going through.

v0 is mad. Instead of spending hours converting Figma designs to tailwind/html (or hiring someone to do it), I just fed it a screenshot and said "make this". The first version is not too far off and just leaves some tweaks to me. 10x designer
November 28, 2024 at 2:00 PM
First screens back from the designer. Can you tell which is the original (by my own hand) and which is the redesign 😂
