Nice, the email validation flow is finally completed! I think this returns the most detailed object about the validation part compared to every other tool on the market.
#BuildInPublic
Wrote 6K lines of code just for the email validation part. Now it's time to give it to the senior software engineer to review carefully. Ugh, I'm burning money.

Found 1 tester from X, 3 from LinkedIn, and 2 from Bluesky 👏
Thanks!
I’m looking for a few beta testers for Autheona, an API that helps prevent disposable signups and improve conversions. If you're interested, drop me a DM! Early testers will get launch discounts.
Please feel free to share this. I'd really appreciate it! 🙌

🚀 In Autheona, one of the hardest tasks, scraping disposable and abused domain data is now completed, with around 127K disposable domains collected.

you can learn at least one thing when you’re doing the core work and using AI just as a helper. I would never have known this if I hadn’t started the Autheona.com project.

umami needs a refresh button btw.
nothing special. just tracking views and user flows. I do not have a specific use case, yet. It is easy to use btw.
just started end to end manual testing for autheona.com

I'm using umami, never tried posthog (yet)
I built the entire frontend for the Bloomberg Terminal for Marketing. Now I just have to vibe-code the backend, database, IaaC, customers, and data. 😂
I found that turning a cloud SaaS app into a desktop application is extremely complex and requires learning a lot. So I built a boilerplate for myself to create desktop apps simply by editing a JSON5 file. Nothing complex, easy to integrate with web apps.
Should I release it or just use it myself?
Just started testing a tool that can design custom, product-themed short infographics without requiring UI design skills or UI design tools. It still needs a lot of improvements before the final version is ready.

3. Writtte (writtte.com) is still getting users, but no paying customers yet.
4. I am learning marketing in every possible way I can.
5. I am losing every bit of money in my account.
"It is very easy to become a founder." Right now, it feels like I am killing myself.
#BuildInPublic #Founder #SaaS
🤧 So here is the current progress:
1. I got an invitation from a startup to become the technical co-founder (3rd time in my life)
2. Autheona (autheona.com) is in the alpha testing phase and we are facing many issues with SMTP validation.

Yeah, for one of my products I tried using Medium and it worked, but only that. Everything else failed. So now I’m looking for different marketing strategies.
Can anyone suggest a book or tutorial related to marketing in the tech industry? (That you followed and got results)
#BuildInPublic #SaaS
I didn't know that. HN is built using Arc, a Lisp dialect. It uses Varnish and no complex frameworks, literally pure minimalism, yet it gets around 1 million page views every day. That's a great example of a minimalist, high-performance, non-complex application. Everyone should take note.
There are millions of things that can be built with vibe coding, and thousands of applications can be created from it. The hard part is figuring out what to develop. Most people miss that.
Maybe I am the only one who launched a startup and never published it on any directory, choosing to scale it very slowly using only organic traffic.
born to programming 😂

When you find a great idea and a great name for it, and then check the domain name availability.

It's the only way the mind starts working.:D
There may be thousands of apps for this, but for me, nothing beats pen and paper.

Testing...
I think I should stop paying for the blue check on X. I’m getting more traffic, engagement, and results on LinkedIn/Bluesky.
Thanks Patrick, the project is opensource btw github.com/writtte/writtte you can check it out
Yeah, for the first failed product I used Next.js, but it was slow, so I moved to React with Vite. Then I started hating the unnecessary re-renders, so I switched to vanilla JS, no issues. Now I understand everything that’s happening, and it’s easy to fix things.
