✨ Okay last feature of the day in my 🌪️ tornado of shipping with Claude Code and --dangerously-skip-permissions Requested by someone on my feature board for http://interiorai.com: "Ability to use an inputted image as inspiration for the generation of the interior design in my rendered picture." Upload any custom style image from somewhere else, and a photo of your own interior and it redesigns it. It's just basic style transfer so not that interesting technologically, but useful If you select "Interior design" mode though it will also move around all the interior 😊👌
✨ A dream I had finally came true: I can now chat directly with my sites to build any feature or fix any bug just via Telegram I've been playing with OpenClaw for 3 weeks now and it's great but I was always too scared to run it on any production server And I was right a bit as @marckohlbrugge was able to hack it by social engineering and acting as if it was me, and with enough tries it believed him, and was able to modify the server, change SSH keys etc. of course I had it isolated properly on its own VPS and it didn't touch anything sensitive (as it should!) Marc then reported that bug to @steipete who patched it fast But I wanted to try something more basic and simple, and I think maybe more secure: to just connect Claude Code on my server to Telegram which would be hard locked to only messages from me So I installed claude-code-telegram by @RichardAtCT on the server and run it as a system daemon and it works really well The cool thing is that I was already using Telegram for server errors like this: > Photo AI - ❌ Random credits giveaway failed (Attempt 30/30) with an exception: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 5 database is locked So now I can just reply, "Ok fix this", and Claude Code on the server in production will try (and probably succeed) in fixing it In the video below I asked it to make show [🌳 Parks ] on the map by default on load, it did that, then I reloaded the page and it instantly worked One thing it still needs is sending actual messages while it's doing stuff which OpenClaw does really well, it's annoying to just wait while it says "Working..." but that's probably next
how to build a bootstrapped startup without funding: 1. pick a problem you personally have. if you don't use your own product daily, quit now 2. skip the pitch deck. open your code editor. ship something ugly in a weekend 3. charge money from day 1. free users give you nothing but support tickets 4. use boring tech. PHP, SQLite, vanilla JS. frameworks are a trap that mass waste your time 5. host on cheap VPS ($5-20/mo). not AWS. you don't need kubernetes for 1,000 users 6. do customer support yourself. it's the fastest product feedback loop that exists 7. automate everything you do more than twice. cron jobs > employees. 8. grow on Twitter/X by building in public. your journey IS the marketing 9. keep your burn rate near zero so you never need to raise. ramen profitable > series A 10. say no to investors, cofounders, and "advisors" who want equity for intros i've been doing this for 10+ years now. no employees, no funding, no board meetings the entire VC game is designed to make you think you need permission to start you don't
Finally reaching limits for the first time Been shipping like crazy getting to the last remaining feature requests and bugs on http://ideasandbugs.com Went down from 30 yesterday to just 10 left today! I essentially copy paste the bug or feature requests in Claude Code and let it fix it and then test
✨ Lots of mini improvements to Photo AI today I made this new model editor You can set a default prompt to add to any photo you take with your model, like here I set it to "wearing thin frame glasses and blue hair" and it will use that in every photo you take with that model Also now you can set specific key photos from your model's training set to use for taking pics, face photos are better and they get you higher resemblance and more real looking pics Photo AI automatically tries to set the best key photos but if you don't like them here you can adjust Both these ideas come directly from users on my [💡 Ideas + Bugs ] board 😊
✨ Made a new robot for my site http://hoodmaps.com that uses its data to find good and bad areas and mark them It collects: - crowdsourced drawing (like an area is tourist) - crowdsourced tags data like "Pickpockets everywhere" - positive places data like lots of trees, parks, playgrounds, cafes to work, coworkings - negative places data like lots of pawn, money transfer, payday loan shops, homeless shelters or strip clubs And then lets @xAI Grok 4.1 Fast use that data to figure out the best and worst areas of a city I just tested it and I think it works! 😊👌
The first time in X history I think I don't really like the algorithm so much It seems most posts get stuck at 10-50 RTs, and the delay until they grow to even there can take like 24 hours to 3 days! And I feel like you have to tweet quite extremist now to get views I liked before more where you could post a regular blog post and personal story and it'd get more views now it barely does
Saw this on Hacker News today: Someone reverse engineered a game from 1983 called 📈 Wall Street Raiders, it was 115,000 lines of BASIC so indecipherable that even Disney couldn't figure out how to https://wallstreetraider.com/story.html It's essentially a very deep granular trading simulator where you're a corporate raider, buying and selling companies, and many CEOs and investment managers said they used the strategies they learnt in the game in the real world! So I installed it for you to play on http://pieter.com!
I keep realizing things flip so fast in AI you really can't predict who will win or lose Claude Code was leading for every dev, Anthropic were the good guys, OpenAI were becoming the bad guys buying up all the RAM I even switched from ChatGPT considering how ugly I felt the Times New Roman style serif font was Then OpenClaw shows up, becomes the most popular project since the new AI wave and instead of celebrating it, Anthropic decides to DMCA @steipete, this annoys him and he starts (or continues?) to promote OpenAI's Codex instead of Claude Code Then @sama and @finkd try to buy him and he goes with OpenAI and that's it and now OpenAI owns the narrative again
