A little history: why a simple timer? 😅

I initially created fullcountdown.com for myself (The first version was a simple big timer with play and pause, without any other options), to put it on a mini-screen I have next to my desk connected to my computer, where I usually put secondary things, such as YouTube videos, notes, and timers.

Before having it, I used some online timers, but none of them take advantage of the full screen size, they all adjust the numbers proportionally, which makes sense, nobody wants to distort text or numbers, I understand that perfectly, I'm a designer and nobody ever asks me to design something with distorted text...

But sometimes I prefer functionality over beauty, and in this case, I don't care if the numbers are distorted. I want the largest timer possible for my screen, and that's the concept I've been working on.

Right now, it's a functional concept, and I'll gradually improve the interface and design.

And all feedback are welcome! 🙂

First Launch!

Hey there guys!

Hope you enjoy your week. And we just only start too. We launch next week. And I was wondering, do you believe that AI can help with mental health?

Soft launch - would like some feedback!

Recently launched my new app Opensmith.io

Opensmith allows you to easily compose product updates/ release notes based on your projects GitHub activity.

It already has some initial users. But I wanted to share it with this community and see if any of you have some feedback.

Any feedback would go a long way!

Get up to 10M Free OpenAI Tokens Daily!

Most developers may not know this.

OpenAI quietly sponsors up to 10 million free tokens every day if you enable data sharing in your API settings.

That’s roughly 5,000 pages of text daily, enough to power an entire product prototype or content engine — for free.

If your prompts don’t include sensitive data, this is the easiest way to run the GPT-5 API nearly cost-free.

How it works

Model TypeFree Tokens/Day (Tier 3–5 users)

Equivalent TextMini models (gpt-5-mini, 4.1-mini) -> 10M~5,000 pages

Main models (gpt-5, 4.1, o3) -> 1M~500 pages

For Tier 1–2 users, the limits are about 25% of that.

Activate in 3 Steps

1️⃣ Visit platform.openai.com → Settings → Organization → Data Controls

2️⃣ Under “Share inputs and outputs with OpenAI”, select Enabled for all projects

3️⃣ Click Save — your account is now enrolled

Your daily allowance refreshes automatically.

Why It Matters

For builders, that’s effectively free compute for:

Rapid-fire idea testing
Text generation pipelines
Automated research or content workflows

Just remember: disable sharing for any project involving private or client data.

How I earned $578 on Gumroad (and found PMF)

Desperation fueled my growth

Last May was a turning point in my solopreneurial track.

I was making no money.

I knew that content marketing is crucial to succeed, but I observed a new trend; namely that of N8N. It has a low KD and high SV.

N8N started being a versatile tool for so many repetitive workflows from finding Reddit Leads to generating JSON-LD Schema Markups (which help you appear faster on AI).

These tools helped me increase by reach both as a problem solver and as a creator.

What is more, when someone pays you for a problem that is instant PMF validation.

Use Automation Appropriately

While I earned a small amount of money, I learned a valuable lesson.

Automate systems, not relationships.

Build trust manually, while you let machines handle the grunt work.

If you use generative AI in client-facing processes, such as outreach messaging, make sure you leave your personal touch in the process.

Building in public sounded fun until I had to publicly admit nothing works yet.

Remember you could have the perfect SaaS and still be invisible to everyone, if Google can’t find you, no one can. Do not sleep on SEO guys! :)

just checking something real quick

Does anyone else lose entire afternoons to “accidental research” or “just checking something real quick.

I’m really curious, what’s one small thing that actually helps you stay focused or get back on track when your brain is all over the place?

Building My First Extension with WXT

Recently got into learning how to build a browser extension and came across WXT, a modern framework that a few creators recommended. I’ve been playing around with it for the past few days and it’s looking pretty solid so far.

What really stood out to me is how smooth the developer experience is. It’s built on top of Vite, supports TypeScript out of the box, and even hot-reloads your background and content scripts while you’re developing. The documentation is clear and well-structured, which made it easy to get something running quickly.

I’ll be shipping something interesting with it in the coming week. If you’re curious, check it out here (🙌highly recommended): https://wxt.dev/

Learning to code on weekends – Is it still worth it?

I work full-time in construction and spend my weekends learning to code. It’s slow but rewarding, and I’ve gained a real appreciation for how things work under the hood.

But with AI and vibe coding, I’m starting to wonder if learning to code manually is still the best path to build products.

When AI can handle most of the technical work, maybe the real skill is turning ideas into prompts.

I'm curious what other founders think. Is it still worth learning code, or is it smarter to start building products using AI?

How to find business ideas

Sooo… my projects have slowed down a bit, sold a few things, and now I’m hunting for new ideas. I was wondering how to find them, and I came up with a plan!

1️⃣ Go to Flippa

Filter for sites making $10K+/month
Pick a product idea that already has demand
Check reviews
Build something with better features

2️⃣ Go to Upwork

Browse top gigs 💼
See what people are actually paying for 💰
Spot problems clients complain about 📝
Build a solution that’s faster, cheaper, or just better 🚀

Haven’t found anything for me yet, but the method is super simple and maybe it’ll open someone’s eyes 👀

Stopped chasing launches, started having conversations

Quick update on NewsletterStack.

Yesterday I decided to stop hunting for new platforms to launch on and instead focused on engaging with my target audience on Reddit. Just replied to comments, answered questions, joined conversations.

What happened:

Found a bug in the cost calculator. Some platforms weren't showing the right numbers when switching from monthly to yearly plans
A user asked about GetResponse. It was already scheduled to go live, but I fast-tracked adding it to the cost calculator based on their request
Had genuine conversations with newsletter creators about their platform choices

Sometimes the best QA comes from talking to people who are actually looking for a solution.

What's your take, launch everywhere or focus on connecting?🤔

The surprising cost difference between newsletter platforms 🫣

Been diving deep into newsletter platform pricing while building NewsletterStack, and honestly, the differences are wild.

Here's something I learned: if you're just starting out, Substack is genuinely the best choice. Why? It's completely free until you start charging subscribers. No upfront costs, no subscriber limits. You can build your audience without worrying about monthly fees.

But here's where it gets interesting. Once you hit around 5k-10k subscribers, the math changes completely. A platform that seems "cheap" at 1k subscribers might cost you hundreds more per month at scale.

And cost per subscriber isn't even the full picture. You need to consider:

Email deliverability features
Monetization options (paid subscriptions, ads, sponsorships, and more)
Design flexibility and customization
Analytics and growth tools
Migration difficulty if you want to switch later (⚠️super important!!)

That's why I built a Newsletter Cost Calculator for NewsletterStack. Just enter your audience size and see real pricing across Beehiiv, Substack, Kit, Ghost, Buttondown, and more popular platforms, all in one place. Everything's up to date so you can actually compare apples to apples.
