a very literal example of giving a small computer eyes
a Raspberry Pi in a moving car is turning the road into a live list of objects
each vehicle gets a label, a bounding box, and a confidence score as it appears in the camera feed
the useful loop is simple:
camera frame → vision result → local rule → physical or network action
the same pattern can run on a much smaller board. my ESP32 vision guide starts with the camera, then shows how to turn what it sees into a reaction
give your ESP32 eyes
wanted to share something i wrote about the future coming in the next few years, how robotics is actually gonna help us but also bring some real social challenges we're not ready for

No defense tech hackathons around me.
So I made my own.
ESP32 + Wi-Fi packets + too much coffee ☕
Built Halkon-1, a passive drone detection prototype that runs on a $5 microcontroller and looks for drone signatures in nearby wireless traffic.

Hot take:
If you're already paying for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity...
paying again for API tokens to automate them is a drag.
My dashboard currently shows:
• 11M tokens avoided
• $614.90 saved
• 87.7 hours recovered

Built a GPT-Chain that turns any topic into a meme:
topic → trend research → meme angle → captions → final image
Tested with:
Old school rap
No scrolling for hours.
No copy-paste.
One input, final creative asset.

gptcha.in ⚡
we just shipped GPT Chain v3.6.0 🐙
new UI. cleaner, faster, smoother.
1 week ago:
we opened free trial → +50 users in 7 days
now:
we play the MRR game
this isn’t just a redesign
it’s a setup for the next level
behind the scenes:
– better logic
– parallel executions
– building a real multichat AI agent
but the real shift isn’t technical
we’re automating distribution
learning what actually works
testing fast, breaking faster
a while ago we thought claude might take it all
now?
there’s space if you build your own lane
so we’re doing exactly that
this is just the beginning
and yeah… competing is gonna be fun
We just shipped GPT Chain v3.5.0.
4 AI chats. One extension. Zero APIs.
- ChatGPT
- Claude
- Gemini
- DeepSeek
Build a prompt workflow once.
Run it on any of them.
Output of step 1 feeds into step 2. Automatically.
Subscriptions are live.
Pro is $1 the first month.
Or try everything free for a week.

we just shipped the most wanted feature!!
GPT Chain 3.4.0 is live 🦀
gptchain used to work natively
only with chatgpt, but now we’re expanding
to basically every ai chat out there
for this, we had to build an internal tool
called chatbot universal browser extractor (cube)
to detect html elements
so no ai chat can escape us hahaha
we’re launching with:
@GeminiApp & @deepseek_ai
coming soon:
Claude & Perplexity
and our new board for more complex logic
see u 🚀
GPT Chain v3.3.1 is live ⚡
this week was heavy on code and refactoring
especially around stripe payments
i tried some indie hacker templates
but in prod they didn’t work
many of our users actually need invoices
and doing that manually is a pain
also checking the buyer’s country for taxes
so yeah
i had to read tax rules for the eu
usa
and australia lol
in the end stripe solves most of this
so i changed the flow
now users are created directly
not as guests
a lot of popular templates do guest checkout
but for b2b it doesn’t really work
that was my biggest blocker
now it’s fixed
this release also improves our magic link system
we now have device identifiers
and better google auth compatibility
for chromium browsers
next big thing
multi ai chats
we’re already about 70% done
starting with @GeminiApp and @deepseek_ai
prolly shipping new AI Chat integrations
every week
ai just set up my app subscriptions lol
i needed subscriptions + a paywall for my app
picked @RevenueCat
it handles both
instead of setting everything manually
i tried their mcp with cursor
docs were a bit outdated
but after connecting it
first i generated the plans in a file
then told the mcp to create the rest
it basically did everything
even the app store integration
but this is the weird thing with ai
just because it works
doesn't mean it's correct
you still need to understand what it did
now i need to review everything
before sending it to prod 😅
if you're building an b2c app
try revenuecat
pretty solid and cool
gptchain just leveled up ⚡️
v3.3.0 is live
we shipped what users asked for
sleepy node → wait until next execution
google login → faster access
first stripe sales came in too 💸
team update :
new dev just joined Engineering 🔥
Competitive Programmer | Codeforces
-> next move
multi chat execution
-gemini
-google ai studio
-deepseek
-claude
cc: @TheVeller
apps are the new dropshipping?
i read that on X at the beginning of the year
and honestly… maybe
building software with prompts is easier than ever
so what really matters now is distribution
if you’re building apps
use tiktok
hire ugc creators
create stop scroll experiences
even build your own ai ugc farm
we’re testing this with comicdoro
just a pomodoro with comics
latest updates:
-> sign in with google and apple
-> reading progress bar
-> comics locked until you finish your focus time
-> analytics for premium users
coming soon:
webtoon spend thousands of $ generating comics
we’re doing it fully with ai for a few dollars 😅
launching soon to test this thesis
keep shipping 🚀
building an app in less than 24h
in 2026 i see huge opportunities in mobile apps
not just better interfaces
but smarter experiences
so my team and i tested a workflow
from idea to app store fast
→ chatgpt -> prd
→ figma
→ fork to github
→ cursor for complex features
→ deploy to app store
and here it is
comicdoro
study 25 min
read comics 5 min
a simple productivity system
especially for people like me
who struggle with focus
we’ll share more soon
about development and distribution
let clowdbot work 24/7 for you finding app ideas and hooks
yeah daniel has a smart strategy
it finds viral hooks just using clowdbot
stop playing with it
and make it work for you 🫡
every morning at 9am i get 20 viral formats in my discord
sounds fake but it actually works.
i told my clawdbot marketing assistant mikey: "every morning, search tiktok for viral app content from the last 7 days. filter for 50k+ views. send me the hooks, formats, and links. i want to know what's working before i check my phone."
and he just does it now.
this morning i woke up to:
> 1.08M views: "literally the best calorie tracking app!!"
> 827K views: "3 android apps you'll wish you installed earlier"
> 776K views: "i finally found this app omg"
> 428K views: "trust me when i say this i love this app"
all with links. all from the last 7 days. all filtered for app content.
how to set it up:
> give it a tiktok scraping API
> tell it what niche to search (apps, ugc, marketing, etc)
> set the format you want (i do views + hook + link)
> schedule a daily cron job
game changer for staying on top of trends.
i went from "what's working on tiktok rn?" to "which of these 20 viral formats should i steal today?"
the future of research isn't searching.
it's waking up to answers.
instead of a free trial paywall
try this
-> $2 for the first week
-> then $7 automatically
or
-> $39.99 per year
This paywall strategy is genius:
7-day full access for only $2.
Then it bumps you to $7 per week automatically.
Or you can pay $39.99 for the year.
It's called a bump model.
Low barrier to entry, then they hit you with the recurring charge.
And it's clearly working because they're running hundreds of profitable paid ads.
They're using a soft paywall so you can try the app with limits.
1-2 searches per day for free, then everything valuable is locked.
Simple, aggressive, profitable.
This is how you monetize at scale.
PH is not what it used to be
a lot of founders fail to get featured :(
