Marketing a product solo? Nexus Share keeps it simple: one place, AI help, flat price. Built by founder @lockhead.

The best free tier in social scheduling is not a trial. It is a real plan with AI included. That is Nexus Share, from founder @lockhead.

I sat at $100 MRR for 6 months.
today: $15k MRR.
nothing viral happened. I just did 4 things, in this order:
1. 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀
talk to the people who didn't convert.
talk to the people who churned.
ask them why.
whatever they tell you is what makes your offer worth paying for.
2. 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵
aim for at least 100 visitors/week you can repeat every week.
mine was Reddit. helpful replies where people ask for tools like mine. 5 minutes a day got me 100+ visitors/week.
3. 𝗙𝗶𝘅 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰
track 4 numbers:
visitor → signup, signup → trial, trial → paid, churn.
fix the worst one first.
then repeat for the next one.
if your funnel leaks, more traffic just means more disappointment.
I went from $1k to $15k MRR just by improving my funnel, not stacking more channels.
4. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘀
once your funnel converts and retains well, now's the time to add more marketing channels.
keep doing what already works. add new channels on top of it.
---
do these 4 steps in order and I promise you'll no longer be stuck.

Fun fact: The AWS account ID namespace (twelve digits) is larger than IPv4 by more than two orders of magnitude.

I joined @Lockhead to walk him through my AI agent setup using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The real kicker here is that I am connecting directly to my agent via WebSockets, enabling seamless back-and-forth streaming.
I hope y'all like it.
NOW we talk about running Agents on #AWS #AgentCore
Andres walks us through a setup of running gateway, runtime and memory fully on AWS connected to #Bedrock
Very cool and actionable insights from a real shooting star!
What's your #Agent experience so far?

Everyone is obsessed with AI coding speed, but almost no one is thinking about structure. And that's a problem that good old platform engineering can easily solve.
A new guest post by Itzhak Eretz Kdosha puts this to the test:
“I Tested Three Spec-Driven AI Tools. Here’s My Honest Take.”
The takeaway is simple:
If you’re shipping code with AI without a spec… you’re scaling ambiguity.
He took three spec-driven AI SDLC tools (BMAD, Spec-Kit, OpenSpec)
→ same feature
→ same codebase
→ same environment
And compared what actually matters:
- Spec quality
- Developer experience
- Iteration & course correction
- Time to PR
- Real-world friction
And his conclusions, of course!

AI has made building so easy that it's breaking open source.
I wrote about what I'm seeing, including from my own experience, and why open source and security are both at risk.
