This is my loop I built a SaaS that posts to Instagram + TikTok 24/7 I don't write the captions. I don't pick the music. I don't touch it The stack that runs it while I sleep: > PHP 8.3, no framework > Caddy web server > SQLite in WAL mode > Cloudflare R2 for video storage > Cloudflare Tunnel, no open ports > Stripe for billing > OpenAI writes every caption > ffmpeg muxes the music > Zernio publishes to IG + TikTok > Vanilla JS + CSS on the front > one cron job that loops forever No Next.js. No Kubernetes. No VC

I do all three on a 24GB M2 MacBook Air with a 2TB SSD. Video editing is fairly simple though, nothing with crazy complex timelines.

web dev should be 512gb for me

yes it would be great even +1TB but 256 gb might be enough especially if you dont use react/nextjs

slowly moving all my domains over to cloudflare from namecheap
27
as I do from Hostinger to Cloudflare. I don't even check the pricing but it is easy to handle with my Claude/Codex session in a VPS It sets up the website, assigns the domain and sets up the tunnel easily What is your reason for moving your domain to CF?

If you ask me ... you have recurring revenue and a validated product and market fit. Meaning you can scale. If you do only post scheduling it is a really saturated market. The cost of the video is not your problem. This os called direct cost - it scales with the number of users in this case looks high but this is the unit economics. Your client should pay if he gets the results (paying 200 monthly but returns 1000 for example). Your only job is to share testimonials and 1 line case studies (sharing the growth journey of your and your customers' apps because of your saas). And give them a guarantee to lift the ir concerns.

That is a good view but users get me wrong sometimes. They are expecting a guaranteed result on social media😄 For example my automation is simple reaction video + app demo but if you post directly to Tiktok it will shadowban as we all know. The user complain about it even there is a information alert shows "we suggest you to draft instead of direct posting" What I’m thinking about is whether I can pivot the positioning of this project. For instance, it would be a social media scheduling tool but I’d enhance it with automation like sending notifications about key interactions (such as comments) to the user via Telegram if they’ve connected it or allowing them to manage things directly from Telegram or a ChatGPT/Claude app

Thanks! Yea it’s a little passion projects since nobody builds games for Mac and I want to play. It’s a bit hard to make it beautiful and still load fast/play smooth on mobile though. Have you tried it yet? Nothalo.lol

Yea, the iphone simulator. Is there something else I should be using?

oh my bad, I thought SIM is a phone number 😄 I have 3 devices: > 2020 M1 Mac Air 16 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD > 2023 M3 Max Pro 36 GB ram 1 TB SSD > 2024 M4 Max Pro 48 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD In order: 1SIM, 3 SIM and 6 SIM at most These days I only keep 1 simulator in xcode and it is good enough

X has a Subscribe button. Yet I rarely hear creators talk about paid subscribers. What am I missing?

I think it is used mostly for big accounts. For example, people want to see their replies more visibly in Levelsio posts 🤷

Best social media marketing strategy: > Track post statistics > Post similar to the most engaged ones > Post as much as you can > If you post 100 pieces of content, you will find the 5 best formats Do not give up posting the same/similar posts People keep coming to the same post

I forward emails from multiple domains to one Gmail inbox and use AWS SES to send and reply to customers from the appropriate domain email address.

Funny. You thought that because AI is so easy and people spend millions of tokens, people would build bigger stuff. But it looks like people are building the smallest stuff ever. The "fast juice" dream was never further away.

That is so true, especially people like me can't stop building instead of marketing a single one 😄 I just started eliminating and want to focus on only 2 apps at most

So many ways: 1. Find newsletter in your niche and agree with barter deal: sponsored slot in exchange for your app/service 2. Again newsletter, but agree to give affiliate cut from sales, offer more % than usual affiliates 3. Same as above but for relevant blogs 4. Social Networks as usual 5. YouTube and so on…
How to market without a budget?
