Payouts are definitely a pain point for Chinese independent developers. I finally tested the payout function successfully today and received the money in my account.

What’s your New Year's Wish List?

Solo-developing an AI product is incredibly challenging. I’m working on isolating data per account, but after fixing the backend code, I keep encountering a 503 Service Unavailable error.

Today’s issue: notes aren’t working because Firestore Timestamp objects aren’t JSON-serializable. Fix: convert date fields to strings before returning them.

Today, we fixed front-end issues and UI styles and switched to the STANDARD TTS model. However, it struggles with mixed-language phrases, such as Chinese and Japanese or Latin-based languages like English, Spanish, French, and German.

The damage output of indie developers is skyrocketing.

We finally fixed the slow audio playback loading issue.

I finally finished setting up the domain on Firebase and Cloudflare. Watching the heavy snow fall outside, I feel that all the effort over the past weeks has been worth it. My independently developed AI-powered learning platform is about to go live. Feel free to DM me. Thanks

You finally finish building all the features… then you look at your server bill and realize it’s way too high. Now you’re back to refactoring the backend. A trap solo developers fall into again and again.

Every day I’m stuck between giving up and moving forward, spent two days fixing these issues: 1️⃣ New Gmail users could pay but couldn’t access the library 2️⃣ New users couldn’t upload books (403 Forbidden)

After fixing bugs and refining the user experience again and again—even with a headache today—I kept pushing forward. Now, it’s finally time to meet your intelligent reading partner. luminastudy.ai

Hello everyone, I’d like to introduce my independently developed intelligent reading assistant, luminastudy.ai. It’s a tool that helps improve reading and learning efficiency. Feel free to give it a try.

Let the bullet fly for a while. You know how to handle a sick society with super-concentrated wealth.

The fundamental reality: building products is easier than ever, but promoting them is much harder. You can build with little money and lots of time—but promotion costs far more and is controlled by giant tech companies.

If there’s one thing I learned from Reddit, it’s that you shouldn’t use ChatGPT to fix your statement. It easily gets flagged as a bot and will get you banned.

我就想问大家，你们使用OpenClaw，模型调用的钱赚回来了吗？

Many people in mainland China believe that OpenClaw can help them make money through the stock market. Are you kidding me?

Focus on what I’m good at. I don’t know if it’s a sign or not.

It’s time to build more products and flood the market—let’s go into full-on crazy mode.
