day 2 of building Trender ai in public. Trender ai is the easiest carousel editor with beautiful templates for those who don't want to spend an hour designing slides. how it works: 1- send it your text, or just the idea you want to write about 2- it writes the copy for you (based on thousands of viral carousels) and breaks it into slides 3- pick a template 4- drop in a photo or a video (if you want) 5- your carousel is ready to post in under 5 minutes next up: an MCP. talk to claude or codex, build the carousel right there, synced to the app. six months ago this was a completely different product. i mean nothing similar to what it is now. we rebuilt it out of customer feedback. will tell you more about that tomorrow. do you ever post carousels to instagram, tiktok, or linkedin? would love to get your feedback on Trender!

seo/geo autopilot for Trender ai, week 2 check-in: → google search clicks: 195 → 284 → sessions from chatgpt and other ai assistants: 3 → 48 → average google position: 7.8 → 5.0 and an update on the question i asked last week. i run the same 20 unbranded prompts every week. last week trender came up in 0 of 20. this week: 1 of 20, with a direct citation. small, but it’s the first time an ai answer cited us without anyone typing our name. if you track ai citations, is it just chatgpt, or gemini, claude and perplexity too?

Nick ordered the iPhone Duo at 5:00am today, right when pre-orders opened. It was already in his cart, but while he was choosing a pickup slot, the delivery date jumped from Oct 23 to Nov 2–9 in just 1 minute. Turned out people who ordered 2 minutes after launch got late November. Five minutes in – January. You’d think Apple would hold your inventory while you check out. Apparently not. Pretty bad ux in my opinion.

my seo for Trender ai runs on autopilot now: agents write the articles, publish them and learn before writing the next batch. i don’t touch anything. first weekly check-in, month over month: → google search clicks: 176 → 262 → sessions coming from chatgpt: 4 → 30 → average google position: 8.2 → 5.1 are you tracking how often you get cited by ai?

how come tech humor is going viral on ig and not here? @X

at the tech roast show today: girl was on stage talking about the ideal guy she would date: “I want him to be kind, nice, and in stem.. cause I can’t connect with people who are not in stem”

only in sf: rapping about Claude, plugins and api keys

spoke to a VC today asked what he thinks is a moat now that code is becoming a commodity. his answer was: money.

how is no one building custom modes for claude? This is what my claude window looks like now: a retro music player with my dog't avatar dancing to the beat (she is a cavapoo)
