The next version is finally ready.

Completely new design, structure, copy.

Pretty proud of that I have to say. :)

Nano Banana changed so much in the image creation/editing area.

PhotoBoost AI now uses Nano Banana's image editing feature instead of building its own LoRA using Flux and other models.

Here is a free trial for those who haven't tried it yet: https://photoboost.app/free-trial

What are all the vibe coders doing out there now?

⚠️ When writing code with AI tools, you will get more productive ... up to a certain point.

Koen summarizes it well: if you don't keep track of what's going on, you'll end up with the spaghetti that we all fear so much.

Vibe coding? Small apps, sure. Otherwise, maybe not (yet).

I was today years old when I learned that on Nothing OS (Android), `Private App` are not just hidden from you app drawer, but it also means you cannot take screenshots from those.

Might be obvious for some, but took me forever to figure it out. 🤣

You're welcome! 🙃

Even in 2025 it's super important to actually know your customer.

As much as you can.

Or at least do A/B tests.

I recently added 'normal' email sign up to one of my products and increased my sign ups by 30% !

Turns out, not everyone on the planet uses Gmail.

I've always enjoyed making videos and explaining stuff.

Lately doing some more tips & tricks on DaVinci Resolve again.

This one caught me off guard. Audio randomly stopped working.

Who here is using a social media scheduler / cross-posting tool to post to all their channenls?

I got some questions. :)

And here is another one that's now open source.

Just a small little SvelteKit example offering a simple image editor, all in-browser:

Do you have this habit of starting GitHub repos private, too?

Just swapped another one to public.

It's just a small one but maybe it helps someone with setting up SvelteKit projects. :)

Do people still buy boilerplate SaaS templates in 2025?

I mean, you can literally zero shot that with any decent AI these days.

Asking for a friend.

We added TikTok. Video upload and posting there works as well now. :)

YouTube Shorts are definitely great for those dopamine shots that we all want.

They hit very differently. It takes way more than 24h for normal videos to hit almost 1000 views for me.

How can we be in 2025 and it's still an issue living in a different country than you were born in?!
What's with this world? :(

Finally continued making videos again, which is what I have wanted to do for a long time.

I love creating content and I really enjoy video editing:

I'm currently creating a demo for Postimo.

To improve my audio, I've used the NVIDIA Broadcast app and I must say, I sound so much better with just this one small adjustment.

Will the AI bubble burst faster than we all thought? :D

Fascinating to see, we're at like 95% failures.

And I already saw the first job posts for devs cleaning up AI mess. :D

When you start a new app or website, you don't need dark mode at first.

It can wait.

Even 25 years or longer if it has to as Google just prooved. :D

Hiring a tester on Fiverr for your app can be a game changer.

Especially since it's really affordable.

I just got an amazing Google Sheet with all kinds of details I didn't even notice.

The algorithm is dead, long live the algorithm!

Followers don't have the same meaning anymore in 2025.

They are actually followers, not reach.

Even with low followers, you can create viral posts.

It's all about the content, not the followers.

I started using SvelteKit 2 a couple months ago because I was unhappy with flutter for web and it's performance. But I'm not really sure the grass was greener on the other side. 🤔

I was researching which platforms you should actually post on to grow properly.

Gary V's list from 2024 still seems reasonable:

- LinkedIn
- Facebook
- Instagram
- Twitter
- Snapchat
- TikTok
- YouTube

Not necessarily in that order. :)

After not being really happy with other social media schedulers I thought I might as well create my own one. Needed a new fun side project anyway. ;)

Vibe coding is great, but doesn't really work the bigger the project gets.

Test driven development is amazing, but many developers don't like it.

I'd like to coin a new term: TDVC

Test Driven Vibe Coding!

Write tests first, but then vibe code the implementation.
