Building better tools for creators WIP: browser extension for replies. Waitlist : https://www.retort-ext.com/ Previously: http://gachari.com

Just shipped the waitlist for my reply browser extension. Had a few people asking for early access, so spent the weekend building a waitlist. Nothing fancy, just a simple form that actually works. Small milestone, but feels good to have something people can sign up for while I…


Chrome extension launching soon : X first. Why? X is where I live, where you live, where the pain is real. Reddit not far behind, Threads after that. Ship fast, iterate.


Extension update: - Personal context (who you are, what you sell) - Quick stance selector (agree/disagree/joke/support) - Tone customization Working on X. Reddit/Threads adaptation coming. Your AI twin is getting smarter.


On going work on extension: You can't use the same tone on Reddit and X Reddit wants dissertations X wants one-liners But even within X, replying to @levelsio ≠ replying to your friend Platform culture AND context matter


Got the extension detecting threads vs posts. Now the hard part: making the LLM actually care about that difference. One feature at a time.


Building a browser extension that writes smart replies for you. Spent 3 hours tweaking LLM prompts to get the tone right. Probably not how I imagined "prompt engineering" 2 years ago 🤷‍♂️


Day 3 building a browser extension: - Context extraction from X ✅ - Dynamic reply understanding ✅ - LLM backend ⏳ - Payment system next Killing the tab-switching nightmare.

Okay guys, so today CurseX is live on PeerPush! I’ve also decided to make the Style & Personality options free for all users. That means a whopping ~4.4 billion different combinations you can play around with 🥳 Here’s the link! Go give it an upvote, I’d be forever thankful 🙏🏻…

CurseX - Craft Eloquent Shitposts for X (or anywhere really)

Shitposting is an art one shouldn't take lightly. CurseX is... well, Cursor for X. Turn your half-assed tweets into masterpieces, using sliders to adjust your posts: - Sarcasm level - Lix level -...


Building Gachari taught me about user engagement and cultural products. Now working on something for all creators who waste hours posting to multiple platforms. The posting workflow is broken. Time to fix it. 🛠️


I read that to have a chance at going viral you need to post something useful, so here's my shot: Something Useful™ You're welcome for the virality


Streak rewards system: shipped ✅ First step toward making daily Japan moments feel less like content, more like ritual. Small habits, small rewards, big attachment


Founder fatigue hits different when your retention is good but your bank account isn't This is the valley they don't warn you about


Ship fast they said, am I doing this right?

Posted to a 75K targeted audience group. Algo showed it to... 200 peoples🙃 Results: 50 visits, 0 signups, 1 existential crisis. But it's not that terrible, 20% came back today. Retention is good, does that mean the product is okay, but not the pitch ? Time to test "daily…


New collection just went live: all about Japanese food culture. My users requested more content. Still can't believe anyone cares about my random obsessions from Japan. (But here we are 🇯🇵) #japanesefood #BuildInPublic


My brain building: Brain: "31 subscribers! We're growing!" Also brain: "Only 31 users..." Brain: "Focus on retention!" Also brain: "But what about that new feature idea?"


Week offline taught me more about my users than weeks of analytics. Distance = clarity when building emotional products.


Active user: "I'd never pay for this" Same user: "I'd hate if it disappeared" The emotional product paradox. They love it but won't fund it. Shipping new collection for Gachari today anyway. Sometimes you build for love, not logic.
