Why I'm building iLoveTools.LoL?
I wrote about the idea and why I started building it on X: xitter.cf/ScriptMint/status/2102…
I'm not writing any code by hand for this project. It's completely vibe coded, but I'm making sure the important stuff is covered by tests.
I've been coding for years, so this is also an experiment for me: how far can I take a real product using AI without manually writing the code?
I bought iLoveTools.LoL for less than $1 just for fun. 😂
Then I started building it and realized there might actually be something worth doubling down on.
One place for all those small tools we keep Googling for.
Here's the story 👇 View article
Waiting for @svembu sir to ask all Indians working abroad to return to India, join Zoho, and contribute to nation-building.
Just one small condition: no salary hikes for the next few years. 😂
BREAKING: Microsoft, $MSFT, is offering buyouts to 60,000 workers as part of the company’s efforts to cut costs amid AI adoption, per Bloomberg.
Personnel on select teams in the US, Canada, India, and the UK at a vice president level and below will be eligible.
This reflects ~27% of Microsoft's total workforce.
Everywhere I look, developers are building their own campaign managers, analytics dashboards, CRMs, and other tools that we used to pay monthly subscriptions for.
Can we finally say SaaS is dead in 2026? Or are we just entering a new era of SaaS?
Hey @grok how does it affect applications built with laravel?
⚠️ The PHP security team disclosed another RCE (CVE-2026-115560)
This one sounds lower risk, but you are advised to set this in your INI:
👉 session.upload_progress.enabled=0
serversideup/php v5.0.3 does this for you by default. Redeploy to be safe

Yesterday, I had plenty of codex usage left and knew my reset was coming. I asked GPT-6 Astra to build a Mac screen recording app for me.
Within 30-45 min (30% weekly usage), I had a working app that could record my screen, camera, mic, and system audio.
And the crazy part? I have zero experience in macOS app dev.
Of course, it is far from perfect. But if someone like me, with no exp in this particular stack, can do this, imagine what software dev will look like in a few years.
Looks like X is full of developers, indie hackers, and builders. But where are all the marketers? 👀
I am building iLoveTools.LoL and learning that building a product is much easier than getting people to discover it.
Would love to connect with people who know SEO, growth, content marketing, and distribution.
Marketers, let's connect! 🤝
Any indie hackers, developers, or marketers building something interesting?
I am a solo founder working on iLoveTools.LoL, adding useful, privacy-first tools almost every day.
Building is something I enjoy. Finding users and growing a product is what I am learning now.
Would love to connect with people who are building, experimenting, and sharing their journey.
Let's follow each other and grow together! 🤝
A few days ago, Sridhar Vembu sir encouraged H-1B professionals to return to India and help build the country.
Today, he says AI costs are rising, hiring has stalled, and the outlook for software jobs is grim.
But if established Indian tech companies are struggling, where will returning professionals find opportunities?
The business outlook for software is uncertain and AI has raised costs dramatically with a) massive 4-fold increase in server prices which we need for data centers b) AI usage increasing rapidly, leading to much higher expenses, which we are trying to control.
On top of that is the challenging geopolitical backdrop.
We have cut down on our marketing budget. We have also told our employees that we cannot have our usual pay increase this year. I have apolgized for not being able to avoid this.
We will work hard to avoid mass layoffs but the outlook for software jobs in general is grim. We have not been growing our employee count for 18 months now.
Most of our employees understand the situation. I am thankful to them.
We are in the middle of reinventing ourselves. The next 3-5 years will decide how our reinvention has worked. Please pray for us 🙏
I have spent years learning how to build software.
Now I am learning something equally important: how to get people to use it. 😅
Currently building iLoveTools.LoL, a growing collection of free, privacy-first tools.
Looking to connect with marketers, SEO experts, and growth-minded founders who love experimenting with distribution.
Let's connect, share ideas, and grow together! 🤝
Hey everyone! 👋
I am building iLoveTools.LoL, a collection of free, privacy-first tools that run right in your browser.
I am a developer who loves building, but now I want to get better at distribution.
Looking to connect and collaborate with marketers, growth hackers, and people who enjoy growing products.
Let's connect and build something together! 🤝
I have been coding for over a decade, but now I am trying something completely different.
Building iLoveTools.LoL entirely with AI, without writing a single line of code by hand. I want to see how far I can take a real product this way.
Sharing my progress, experiments, failures, and everything I learn along the way.
If you are into vibe coding, building in public, or indie hacking, let's connect and follow each other's journey! 🤝
It's been almost 3 weeks, and Google Search Console still can't fetch the sitemap for iLoveTools.LoL.
The strange part? Bing discovered and processed the same sitemap without any issues. I've tried resubmitting it multiple times and using URL Inspection, but nothing seems to work.
Has anyone faced something similar? Any idea what could be causing this?
Would really appreciate some help!
Anyone using bootstrap now?
🎉 Bootstrap 6 Alpha 1 is here! getbootstrap.com
For v5 folks, we'll be doing a v5.x release soon once we catch our breath. In the meantime, enjoy the new v6 hotness, new blog, and new icons, too!
Any experienced developers here who have switched from writing code by hand to mostly vibe coding?
I have been coding for years, but lately AI has taken over most of my development workflow.
Would love to connect, share experiences, and learn how others are adapting.
Let's connect! 🤝

I would love to see more students build software for people around them.
Your parents' business, a local teacher, a small shop, someone managing everything through WhatsApp and Excel.
Sit with them and understand what is difficult.
Use AI to build something that helps.
You'll get feedback that no tutorial can give you.
Prepare passport-size photos, choose copies for each person and download one printable PDF.

Hello fellow indian builders, how are planning to deal with this EDF and export rules? @ayushagarwal Do you people simplify it?
