This is happening for a reason no one talks about. AI has become the ultimate distraction. Everyone is so consumed with trying to make their own project work that they’ve stopped paying attention to everyone else’s.
I'm seeing a trend here of declining revenue and traffic with indiehackers On my own projects too Maybe big VC products too but I wouldn't know cause they don't share revenue To me it seems clear BigAI is cannibalizing everything that used to be apps Not bad btw, just times are changing and we have to adapt

Bad distribution: - Product will go viral - People will find a good product on their own Good distribution: - SEO - Improving landing page - Content marketing - Founder brand - Build in public - Community building - Email marketing - Newsletter - 𝕏 - LinkedIn (okay okay) - Reddit - YouTube product explainers - Short-form tiktoks - Collabs - Affiliates - Launch platforms - Direct outreach - User case studies - Word of mouth Most founders focus on building. The best founders focus on distribution 👌 🔄 Please repost to spread the right word

The best deck visuals we make now come from Claude and it's is not even an image model. A good deck visual has to do two things at once, look on brand and make a complex idea obvious. And being on brand isn't enough on its own. If you've ever designed decks for the AI/tech space, you know the hard part is taking something abstract and giving it visual structure. A visual can look beautiful and still fail, because the person looking at it has no idea what it's actually showing them. That's where Claude helps. It works through how to turn a complex idea into a system, different angles and layouts for explaining something that doesn't have an obvious shape. That gives the team a strong starting point instead of a blank canvas. The designers take those directions and elevate them into something that looks impressive and is right on brand. The tool helps with the thinking, the visual craft is still all human.

Little known fact, there is no such thing as an LLM, they actually have engineers typing code behind the scenes when you send requests to Claude.

GPT-5.6 sol is half the price and ~twice as token efficient as fable in many cases for accomplishing the same task. happy to deliver at one-quarter of the price.

Anyone can generate a logo, a landing page, a whole brand now. Almost no one can tell you which one is good. Taste is the whole job now.

Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use. Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.

unfollowing all the people getting butthurt every day about politics or anti-AI rage... I want my socials to be laser-focused on craftsmanship and the exchange of ideas that make us good at what we do. Excellence is the top value in how I treat this platform

A friendly reminder: If a designer posts a design and tells you what the client paid, there's a 100% chance it's a scam. It's either someone else's project entirely, or it's a fictional design made to put on their website. Block these fools so you never hire them.
