My SaaS wasn't getting indexed by Google for 3 weeks because the homepage returned 500... but still had content which is why I didn't notice. It was some dumb #nextjs SSR issue #buildinpublic

Accidentally pushed a change to shortforge.ai that killed the production service every minute for 18 hours straight 😵 I was saved by not having any users so nobody cared. Sometimes no users is good #dev #buildinpublic

You can now post generated product ads to TikTok directly from shortforge.ai 👑 This thing is actually starting to become useful for effortless SaaS/product marketing. Going to finally put some time into getting it to produce even more engaging ads next #buildinpublic #saas #marketing

When my app had 10 users, I added hats by analyzing faces in user avatars (essential feature). That app is now dead. Should have marketed instead.

First post-launch update! I added end cards to shortforge.ai. Now I've built the video infrastructure, the output videos are only going to get exponentially better from here! ShortForge automates the creation of TikTok/Reels/Shorts product ads for SaaS/apps/games and more #buildinpublic

@ozasadnyy.bsky.social I'm trying to make a bloody mary with your app, it would be good if I could put how much of a certain ingredient I have (tomato juice) and it tell me how much of everything else I need, rather than number of servings

I just found a docker container has been running on my laptop for 2+ years with nodemon running at root, causing a constant minimum 95% cpu usage and 94c temps, that i thought was a cooling problem #docker #dev #buildinpublic

Launched a new product 🚀 The idea is to automate the creation & posting of viral TikTok ads so your product can advertise itself! Right now it just creates 1 type of video manually but I have big plans 😈 Check it out at shortforge.ai
