South Australia has a lot of fossils

📍Aldinga, South Australia Visiting for the holidays

Merry Christmas to all! 🎄🎅🎁

Since gDocs introduced page-less support I've seen content marketers use it as a sales page similar to a website. What an interesting emergent use-case.

I wrote up a prompt to evaluate how well you understand the problem space your idea solves. Works well with ChatGPT o1 or Claude Sonnet 3.5 Alt text has the full prompt. More details here: shavinpeiries.com/pre-code-che...

Basecamp has updated their website again basecamp.com Looks overwhelming at first but it's really clear when you start to dig into it.

Tons of practical suggestions in here!

"What's the catch?" "Hold my beer" "Lemme tell you"

Every time I see an update from cursor.com I get excited. They're getting better at pinpointing problems with AI assisted coding and the recent updates have me excited.

Indiehackers.com used to be a place for community but the website doesn’t feel like that anymore. You need to dig to find posts from the community 🥲

When you start validating an idea the better place to start than cold DM-ing your target audience is on Reddit. Reddit has years worth of data on burning problems audiences have that makes it perfect for quick analysis. Check out my latest blog post on this: shavinpeiries.com/audience-ana...

I just generated a human sounding two-way podcast with NotebookLMs audio overview feature. Gave it one of my latest blog posts and it's actually incredible concept. I reckon this will make it easier to study whitepapers too because the podcasters are funny and engaging.

Coolors has a new visualizer tool and i think it's pretty neat. coolors.co/visualizer/

I just had to sit through a 3 minute ad on youtube. 3 MINUTES. When did they start doing this?

How did Neil Patel even become the Lord Voldemort of SEO?

Some websites try to sell backlinking services by linking your site to their sales page. Honestly, I can't even be mad about this acquisition strategy. It's really smart! The only thing is that those sites look hella shady.

Is AI subscription fatigue a thing for you? Right now I am paying for OAI, Claude, v0, Cursor... On the fence about paying for perplexity too. Stuffs getting out of hand dammit!

I created a super simple Reddit question search tool. It builds a Google search query based on the subreddit you choose, the question pattern, and an extra keyword. Great for finding threads relevant to topics you're interested in. Check it out: reddit-question-search.vercel.app

Anyone else here a huge customer research nerd or is it just me?

I think my GitHub commits are trying to tell me something 😭

I recently wrote about my strategies to find and research customers online, check it out shavinpeiries.com/how-to-find-...

someone should build a chrome plugin to redirect you from x/twitter.com to bluesky auto-magically ✨

I've made it to the blue side
