Looking to validate an early-stage idea... As indiemakers, do you find it hard to get good quality, detailed and timely feedback when developing a product idea? What works well for you? Especially if your audience isn't massive (yet!). #buildinpublic

To build a tower, lay your first brick:

Kicking off a new build with a 48 hour hackathon. For this project I'm experimenting with Claude and Cursor to speed up the build. One hour in and we have a working Next.js app with Auth and a basic layout. #BuildInPublic

48-hr hackathon update - 35 minutes later and we have a working wrapper of ChatGPT using LangChain, in a fully (if very basic) styled page. #BuildInPublic

48-hr hackathon update - progress has been extremely slow today as I've battled with Claude/Cursor whilst we build a slightly more complicated feature! I think it's time to strip it back and simplify. #buildinpublic

48-hr hack update - I'm working on updating preview artefact while the user and the assistant work through the creation of a user story. The results are massively inconsistent right now. #buildinpublic

ProductMate update - it's hard to illustrate the progress in a screenshot, but behind the scenes we're getting the assistant to write feedback and recommendations in JSON format. Which we can then display in a nice list. I'll try and share a short video tomorrow. #buildinpublic

I think I love Cursor's code suggestions even more than the built in assistant. It's a mind reader!

Crazy busy day. Redesigning my personal site takeform.co.uk where my portfolio and musing will go. Now, building out file processing and embedding generation for #productmate. More soon. #buildinpublic

I'm building a co-pilot for Product teams and insight management is the current focus. Check out the main insight hub below. All of these insights have been extracted from interview transcripts. #buildinpublic

Joined Ben Lang's remote co-working group this afternoon. Good vibes and great progress. Here's a sneak peak of our new persona view. Imagine talking a detailed representation of your customer at anytime. #buildinpublic
