I left Next.js for Vite + React
Yes, after being annoyed with Next for a while I finally pulled the plug and started my new project in Vite.
Right off the bat developing is much faster.
SPAs are not that bad after all.
So far no issues, just had to get used to using react-router instead of file based routing which has its pros and cons.
TBD. Will keep you guys informed on how this goes.

It's hard to see something I have built for months go down the drain.
LinkedIn sent a cease and desist forcing us to stop. I emailed all my customers letting them know of the recent events.
Obviously, there were a lot of folks who used the feature and they are all churning.
Stuff happens. What's important is to take a break, reflect on things and come out stronger.
I have been sharing the good stuff for a while so its only fair I share the bad stuff too.

Stripe is back at killing startups again.
Last week @stripe stopped payouts from my account without any real reason.
Apparently the website wasn’t accessible so they couldn’t randomly verify the business which just isn’t true.
After repeatedly emailing them about it they still haven’t given any real explanation.
I just get the automated and non-committal “We are looking at it” but it’s been a week.
The product is neither in their restricted business list nor break any ToS.
It seems as these companies get bigger so does the platform risk.
Sometimes you feel helpless because you cannot do anything. It seems the only way to do business these days is have backup options for everything.
Effective monopolies are bad.

Its kind sad to still see indie folks still spending weeks or worse months building a product before making the first sale.
I feel like at this point everyone should know not to do that. What is also interesting is these are smart people but somehow they still manage to find some excuse to justify this approach.
Unless you are building a novel product and that too in stealth, going to market faster can be the difference between winning and losing.
Unless you are some product genius the only way to get it right is to get repeated feedback from paying customers and iterate. Building an entire product without enough paying customers and feedback is an incredible way to waste time and effort.
Unfortunately, the folks I have in mind right now are struggling with sales from what it seems to me. I hope I end up being wrong though.

Looks like @ThePeterMick has been stealing all my marketing copy from my new SaaS.
On Nov 29 I launched a new product called magicreply.io that helps people generate human like replies to tweet with one click.
I tweeted it out and opened a presale which can be seen here. nitter.app/nilansaha/status/17301…
The very next day he copied the tweet word to word including the same styled video and tweeted it. nitter.app/ThePeterMick/sta…
People started commenting about how he stole my content and he hid every single one of those replies.
Fast track to Dec 8, Peter tweets out about his new landing copy where he steals my tagline again which is “Generate human-like replies to tweets”. nitter.app/ThePeterMick/status/17…
If you see the screenshots attached that was my tagline even in the presale Stripe Link I had shared way back in Nov 29.
I also have an archive copy of this website from November where you can clearly see that line was not a part of this copy. web.archive.org/web/20231002…
Every time someone small on Twitter copies or steals someone else’s stuff there is a huge showdown and everyone gangs up on them but it’s crazy how when someone big does it no one bats an eye and they get away with it.
I know that not everyone likes my product and that is fair. But remember that next time you are launching a product, someone bigger than you might steal your stuff and get away with it just fine.
Rate my new landing page copy for TweetAI.com
Does it convey all the key benefits? 🤔

After the recent chain of events, I am leaving Resend.
I never liked any of the other mailing platforms because they are disgustingly expensive. Resend's pricing made sense to me and I was really rooting for them.
But unfortunately they had security issues earlier this year and had major production outage this week.
I can't have that. I set up AWS SES and it took 1 min.
In fact, I sent this email using SES itself.

Says the CTO of a cloud company 🤔
- Most companies don’t have a lot of people who it’s never really gonna get out of hand
- Even if something goes wrong its pretty easy to get someone to fix it
Your argument is probably only applicable to companies with a lot of headcount where there will be utter chaos even if it were down for a day

Horrible advice for 99% of founders out there.
Let me explain why -
You want to be default alive. The founding team should be able to build the product and go to market with very little or no capital.
Yes, sure you can hire an engineer with equity instead of salary but let’s be real that person will never be as fired up as a co-founder. When you're just starting out, half the battle is keeping the whole squad pumped up and motivated.
The only way this works for you is if you already have capital to hire engineers or are well connected / charismatic enough who can sweet-talk VCs to give you money without an MVP
Who do you think will win?
The team where all the founders are non-technical and trying to figure out how to add a button or the team where the technical cofounder is shipping constantly and the non-technical one is out there hustling sales and cooking up marketing schemes?
The only reason in todays age to not have a technical founder is pure greed / reluctance to share the pie or incapability to make others believe in the idea. You shouldn’t start a startup in either case.
"You need a technical co-founder" is outdated advice for startups
Product Hunt and Calendly didn't have technical co-founders
Our startup hit 40,000+ users without a technical co-founder, here's what I've realized:
Community note
Tope Awotona graduated from the University of Georgia with a four year degree in Management Information Systems. It's a technical information systems degree that includes programming and web application development.

I feel like Vercel is doomed no matter what.
They are involved in drama every once in a while.
There are plenty of new-age cloud provider companies but they almost never get this much backlash.
The fact that they go all out on marketing also makes them susceptible to everyone trying to take a shot at them. Just how the world works.
I think they have raised too much money and they need to be more aggressive with their products to make it all work. Something which is not a problem with others like Railway, Render, Fly, etc.
I am sure people have a right to be angry but I wonder how much of that anger is misplaced and due to mob mentality.

Wake up people. You might go bankrupt tomorrow.
It is this easy to get screwed when using the cloud or one of these fantasy serverless providers.
There is no world where I can comprehend racking up $23k in one day. But that is the new reality and it can happen to you.
If you are going to use the cloud make sure
- Spend limit is enabled
- You are behind Cloudflare
- You understand how costs evolve
Even if you need the cloud, you definitely do not need serverless I can promise you that. You can almost always plan for capacity beforehand.
If you can, host your apps on your own server using Caprover / EasyPanel / Coolify.
It is not as hard as a lot of people would like you to believe.
What is happening?! Someone spammed EchoFox and spiked my @vercel bill to $23k and caused 56k+ accounts and trials
Can someone at @stripe or vercel explain, wtf

A lot of Indiehackers are reluctant to try Ads.
Some are even proud that they don’t use Ads.
ROOKIE MOVE
Ads are the single most stable source of high intent traffic you can get. It is also a must if you want to really scale your business.
There is no heroism in not using Ads. You are probably losing out on tons and tons of potential customers.
SEO and Content are hard and not everyone can get it right, let alone in a shorter time horizon.
That being said not every business is suitable for Ads. Specially if they have low LTV.
