Hi folks! Super excited to announce that my new book The Code Of Cadmus is out, with the official trailer on Youtube :)

Long story short, after spending almost a decade living abroad as a tech solopreneur and investor, I noticed that tech and business are not the problem in today's world. However, our world is heavily problematic. My book is a reflection and a collection of thoughts and observations on how the economic and social structures of our world shape the way we live and who we become. It is not a guide to anything, I'm not a guru lol! Our environments shape our thoughts, our actions and eventually the world around us. Inside, I share the direction that, to me, seem most promising for living a life truly worth living in the years ahead.

Check out the trailer: https://youtu.be/iZdvs8Fx3uM

PS: Be careful, it is very cinematic!

I assume most of you by now have heard the term MCP server. If not, I envy you, you must have a very calm life.

I have been building and using MCP servers for almost a month now and I am really shocked by the capabilities. If you are a developer using Cursor for example, from the Agent Chat, you can basically do anything you want.

Scrape the web, fetch data from the web, add data to the web, play with browsers, databases, anything. I definitely recommend these libraries:

• mcp-use

• mcp-remote

• mcp-inspector

• openai/agents

Found about MCP servers earlier this year, but only the last few weeks im getting my hands dirty with them. Im doing things with Typescript and Im struggling with integrating custom clients with mcp servers. Is anyone going through the same path?

PS: Im not asking about building an MCP server or connecting it to Claude Desktop, Cursor or something like that. That is easy, and Youtube is packed with videos about it. Im talking about custom frontends/clients and how to easily integrate them with MCP servers.

I have been building, learning, searching, investing for the last 6 years, back to back, non-stop. I feel I have officially reached burnout. One week I am super into building and I code new things like crazy. And the next I just want to chill and go surfing lol. Do you go through a similar phase? How do you deal with the constant change of emotions?

Besides generating text, images and videos for you in a few seconds/minutes, AI can certainly do other things.

What unusual uses of AI have you seen?

Im looking for bloggers, writers and in general content creators who write articles or long posts about: Social Media Marketing, Social Media Growth, Youtube Channel growth and in general growing social media reach.

Are you one of those busy folks??? If so, drop some of you latest work below, like articles, or substacks or whatever you have (text content or youtube video that I can transcribe). Share maximum 2 links please :)

I will add your work in the Blog page of my upcoming app.

This is quite urgent as I'm launching apps back to back. I have some paid customers here and there and some OK traffic, but Im not sure what to pursue with more energy. What kind of conversion rates are considered "good" in order to pursue a product more seriously? When I say conversion rates I mean the following:

1. From landing page to app visit

2. From app visit to registration

3. From registration to paid customer

What numbers do you consider good? I haven't managed to find clear answers online.

PS: Im a solopreneur so I have limited resources, I cant be pursuing products that make no sense number-wise.

Ever had a random idea and thought, Someone should totally build this ? Drop it here.

This thread s for the stuff you don t want to build yourself but really wish existed. Weird, useful, hilarious, oddly specific all fair game.

I feel like Im using Youtube more than anything else every single day. I want to learn some "hidden gems" channels, cause I feel I seen it all. Ideally channels around solopreneurship/indiehackers, 0$ marketing strategies, how-to-sell stuff fast, philosophy and economics. Here are my GO-TO channels that I watch almost daily:

• @Raoul Pal the Journey man (Macro investing in crypto)

• @Money ZG (macro investing in crypto)

• @Pursuit of Wonder (interesting concepts around societal psychology & philosophy)

• @Fireship - Tech edgelord (lol)

• @Greg Isenberg (Solopreneurship)

• @Starter Story (Solopreneurship, How to build and market apps)

What are yours?

Yesterday evening I opened Techcrunch and the headline caught my eye:

Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to delete all IP law

(The original Tweet is here and you can read many opinions there.)

I'm super curious how everyone starts to vibe code? In the beginning I would simply jump into @bolt.new or @Cursor and just do a prompt and continue refining with the AI. I quickly realized this created a lot of issues as I didn't think about the structure, tech stack, and how I wanted the features to interact with each other and how the way I was building things would impact the user experience. I now do the following:

• Write down a simple problem statement: "what am I trying to solve?"

• Write down a simple solution statement: "what does the thing I'm building do (to solve the problem)"

• Share the above with @ChatGPT by OpenAI and word vomit my thoughts, ideas, how I want the user to interact with my app, etc and ASK ChatGPT to turn everything I said and want into an easy to understand directive and instructions for an Engineer.

• I then take the Engineer instructions and give it to a new chat in ChatGPT and ask it to turn those instructions into a prompt for an AI engineer and to break up the project into sections so that each time we focus on a section the app is shippable and keeps things easy to work on.

• I take the output and paste it into my notes. I then give it to Cursor.

• Once in Cursor, I create a new project folder and got at it!

Curious what everyone else does and if you've experience any things to avoid or must do

Hi folks. Yesterday, I got featured with my latest app, and I made it to Top 5 Products of the day

I won't share my app's link here. That is not the goal. I just wanted to share some traffic numbers and insights, so you have a realistic expectation of traffic once you make it, too :)

(GMT+1)
- : +1.1k page views
- : +1k unique visitors
- : +1.6k views (how is it higher than landing page views? I still don't know)
- : 213 actual users
- : 4 HELL YEAH
- : 130$ (VERY RICH lol)

Recently stumbled across this Cursor pro-tip from Ian Nuttall on X:
"1. ask it to recommend a folder structure

2. ask it to actually create the folder/files based on that this makes it 10x easier for me to get started and Cursor is more accurate using codebase cos it knows where to update files."

That got me thinking, what other pro tips are people using to generate better code, ship faster, organise your space better, etc. Drop em below:

Hi friends

Im Tasos, a tech solopreneur and investor from Greece :) I spent the whole last month trying to solve a problem that I face daily. It feels almost impossible to monetize all the content I am creating and all the things Im learning online. Big media platforms make it quite hard for me to make cash and to reach my audience. That's how the chatWise idea came up! An AI app that turns my content into a chatbot that others can subscribe to and learn from.

If you are a content creator, it makes it super easy for you to start a chatbot that generates revenue for you.

I have launched on PH twice but before launching, I always prefer to share the product with at least 20 potential users over DM. The goal is to get early feedback and testimonials. This helps me understand what s working (or not) in the copy, design, offer, value proposition, etc.
Based on those early insights, I iterate quickly and it could be small tweaks or full rewrites, depending on what people are saying.

To make it easy for them to say yes and share feedback, I create a no-brainer offer (like 70 90% discount) and DM potential users on X asking for feedback.
What s your pre launch strategy for collecting feedback and improving your product before launching on PH?
P.S. Here s a sample DM I use to get early feedback for Boringlaunch:
Hey [User Name]

We ve just launched (product name) for [Industry/Category/Domain/Target Audience]

It might be a great fit for your [product name].

After AI started penetrating more into my daily life, I pay for way more apps than I used to in the past. Here are the apps that I pay for:

• ChatGPT for all models access API (for development)

• v0.dev premium for unlimited AI prompts (for development)

• @Vercel for premium servers and support (for development)

• A couple of AI tools that are related to content/image/idea generation (for fun and for inspiration)

Total is almost 150$ per month. Not too bad.
