Hey PH 👋 I've often needed to share something to Facebook or Twitter (err... X) but didn't have a suitable image for the post. So I built this free little tool, to quickly type any text and it gets saved as an image file which can be easily posted online. Hope you find it as useful as I have!

I post a few times a week, usually little videos about what I've been working on (like this: https://x.com/michael_c_h_o/stat...)

A bit surprised by the tech-oriented suggestions here - does everybody only run tech communities? I see many Facebook Groups very active with "normal" (ie non tech) communities 😄

I can only share my experience, with a small sample size of two 😬 Both these startups were started in the same year, both in Silicon Valley. Startup A - I was the 2nd engineer hired. The company had an explicit "we can have great WLB and still succeed" mantra from one of the founders, who had been burnt out by a previous startup (they IPOed but it was extremely stressful). Nobody (not even...

Congrats @ben_makes_stuff - I'm going to incorporate this soon!

A couple of days, maximum. Sometimes an afternoon. a. I'm referring to anything which is live and can be shown to potential users as an "MVP", it's mostly not functional. b. I reuse code from prior projects a lot. c. I use design/css/js frameworks rather than writing raw styles.

I voted for "User interviews that run without you" as that speaks more about solving a pain point. It positions your site as a *benefit* to the user, the others seem more like *features*.

I used to help clients set up websites on Wordpress, Webflow, Ghost, etc - I've had to endure the pain of working with all of these Content Management Systems! I found they were always so hostile to non-technical users. So I started building joybird.ai, to make it easy for non-developers to manage a website without worrying about servers, updating plugins, etc. You could say I'm motivated by...

@joanna_jingke_he what do you think about https://joybird.ai ? I'm building a fast, modern hosted Wordpress alternative ☺️

I use SimilarWeb all the time to check how popular a site is!

I'm seeing a few sites use a design style which I'm not sure what it's called, but I refer to it as the Gen Z aesthetic - super bright colors, thin vibrant serif fonts, etc eg https://www.mrbeastburgers.com/, https://gumroad.com/ and https://statamic.com/

Google has explicitly stated they don't penalize simply because something is written by AI, only if it is considered low quality. Reference: https://developers.google.com/se...

Ten minutes curious browsing maybe twice a week

For different use cases: 1. Static content sites / frontend-only a. Digital Ocean's App Platform has free hosting for static sites, but it is limited to ~60k HTML pages. b. Cloudflare pages is also free but limited to 20k pages. c. Vercel is good for static sites / frontend-only but isn't free for Github organizations (must be personal Github). d. I use Render.com as it doesn't have the...

I think @jakub_piskor runs userdome.com which sounds like what you're asking for
