I found Factory.ai Droid is the best alternative to GLM-4.6 with Claude Code.
Droid supports native web search with my custom API key! Love it!

I am back to Expo. It's easy for me. I don't like the Dart style.
"There are two ways an entrepreneur can fail:
a) launch a product that nobody desires;
b) launch a product that people desire but with no significant advantage over established competitors (hence give no strong reason for a customer to switch away)."
LLM context windows today feel just like RAM in the old-school computers—tiny at first, but give it time, and they'll balloon into something massive. 🤔
One day, we'll be stuffing entire video games into a single prompt. Who's ready to play Zelda inside ChatGPT... #AI #LLM
Here’s why Flutter > RN for multi-platform apps:
- Rich built-in widgets → less fragile third-party deps.
- Clearer error messages → easier debugging.
- Easier setup with fewer dependency conflicts.
- Faster and smoother performance (compiled to native).

I use Claude Code with GLM 4.6 to make this PR.
I found the issue, write the prompts to CC. And the CC fix it with my two times prompt.
First prompt: describe the problem.
Second prompt: tell it to use as.
Result: working PR. #videcoding

True bro
Tried all day with the latest Expo + RN → constant errors.
Rolled back to "expo": "~53.0.22" & "react-native": "0.79.5" → now it works.
Sometimes progress means a downgrade. #buildinpublic #indiedev
Tried all day to set up react-native-gesture-handler with the latest Expo.
Docs: “works great!”
Reality: “API not supported anymore.”
RN dev life in one screenshot. 😅

Code is cheap.
AI can ship a demo in hours.
What matters is execution—go build that billion-dollar startup. #indiedev #buildinpublic
Huge thanks to

— really appreciate it!
Already got three payments and loving it! 💸 #indiedev #buildinpublic

And there are so many plugins (like Stripe subscription) in Better-auth market.
Better Auth is cool. You own your data tables, and you can tweak the auth logic to fit your needs.
Good point. By “success” I was thinking business results, and by “quality” I meant ease/comfort of using the API.
API success isn’t about elegant design.
It’s about how badly people need your product.
Facebook & Jira have terrible APIs, but we still integrate.
Do you think API quality really matters? #indiedev #buildinpublic
May 2025: laid off.
June–Aug 2025: indie dev first time, made $27 ARR.
Sept 2025: back to a 9-5.
Still building side projects on the way. #indiedev #buildinpublic
Backpack: Bring life’s loose ends together
Campfire: Group chat over IM sucks
Ta-da List: Competing with a post-it note
Writeboard: Word is overkill
From Getting Real by @basecamp.
Your vision should be brief too. A sentence should be enough to get the idea across. Here’s the vision for each of our products:
Basecamp: Project management is communication
Keep going!
Keep marketing!
Keep sharing! #buildinpublic #indiedev
Ideas can come from Reddit or trending topics, but real pain points come from your own problems. If you love dating but hate the current apps, build the kind of dating app you would actually use. #buildinpublic #indiedev
Enthusiasm manifests itself readily of course, but indifference is equally indelible.
If your commitment doesn’t encompass a genuine passion for the work at hand, it becomes a void that is almost impossible to conceal, no matter how elaborately or attractively designed it is.

Does SEO still matter these days?
Feels like most of my traffic now comes from AI search anyway. #buildinpublic #indiedev
Going from 0 to 1 is easy.
But going from 1 to 100… 100 to 10k? That’s the hard part.
You need to distribute — make videos, post on Reddit, reply to potential customers’ posts.
There's just so much to do — and you have to do it right.
That’s what makes it hard. #buildinpublic #indiedev
Still figuring out your product idea?
No problem — start building anyway.
Set up your authentication, design a simple landing page, add subscription logic, navigation, and a footer.
The idea will evolve. But only if you begin. #buildinpublic
4. After each release, write a short post on a public platform like Twitter:
What you did -> what happened -> what's next.
It helps you reflect, stay consistent, and attract early users.
2. Don't waste your time building in a vacuum. Ship fast, launch an MVP, and validate with real feedback..
3. Switch between idea mode and develop mode -- and keep both running.
