Building products as a one-person studio. Launches, experiments, mistakes, and lessons.

Still retyping supplier size charts? Bring the chart you already have into PopSmart, check the measurements, and turn it into a size guide for your product page. See the demo: popsmart.ai/size-chart-fit-f… #Shopify

I made Pagegloss: a free, no-signup WebMCP code generator. Give compatible visiting AI agents read-only access to your site overview, links and guides. Paste the code. A small bet on the agent-readable web. pagegloss.app/ #BuildInPublic #WebMCP

I used almost the same sources and got two very different videos. These are for PopSmart, my Shopify app. I'm no video expert. Long live Claude! Astra first, Opus + Remotion in the reply. popsmart.ai/ Comment if you want the process. #AI #VibeCoding

This is the Opus + Remotion version. Almost the same source material as Astra, with the product page, try-on and cart flow in the video. PopSmart: popsmart.ai/ Ask in the comments if you want the setup.

거의 같은 소스로 만들었는데, 영상이 이렇게 달라지네요. 제가 만드는 팝스마트 소개 영상입니다. 영상은 잘 모르지만 아스트라랑 오푸스로 만들어봤어요. 클로드 만세! 아스트라 먼저, 오푸스+Remotion은 답글에. popsmart.ai/ 만든 방법이 궁금하면 댓글 주세요. #AI #VibeCoding

이쪽은 오푸스가 Remotion으로 만든 영상입니다. 아스트라 버전이랑 거의 같은 소스로 만들어봤어요. 옷을 입혀보고 장바구니에 담는 모습까지 넣었어요. 제가 만드는 팝스마트는 여기서 볼 수 있어요. popsmart.ai/ 궁금한 부분은 댓글로 남겨주세요.

3 Claude Startups applications were rejected. I tried again with a new account for popsmart.ai and linked the live product page instead of my company page. Accepted on the first try. A real product was easier to evaluate than a portfolio. #BuildInPublic #AIStartups #VibeCoding

I use a blog for my main business domain, while each of the services I operate has its own separate domain. The business domain was rejected, but the service domain was approved. It appears that they parse the content of the submitted sites.

I applied to the Claude Startups program three times. Three rejections. The public criteria explain who can apply, but the decisions gave me no useful signal about what failed. I’m not owed acceptance. I do want a feedback loop. #BuildInPublic #AIStartups #VibeCoding

Two more PopSmart apps are in Shopify review: Upsell Bundle and Size Chart + Recommender. If approved, both are planned for October, bringing the family to three. I'm also building an independent web research service for small online stores. #Shopify #BuildInPublic

PopSmart Clerk is moving from Live to the Graveyard. Clear demand did not show up, and the original AI store-clerk product has fully pivoted. Next: two Shopify apps at once — one new app, one pivoted app. #Shopify #BuildInPublic

After contacting ~1,500 Shopify stores, I still do not know if the cold email strategy really works. But at least one company a week is asking for a demo or proposal. That is not proof. It is enough signal to expand the test next week. #Shopify #BuildInPublic #VibeCoding

AIWAR is going to the graveyard. It ran ~3 months. Steady traffic was bots, not ordinary users. NBFS passed AIWAR's 3-month traffic in 2 weeks, so the resources move there. madmanstudio.io/notes/aiwar-… #Shopify #BuildInPublic
