Best feeling: complete strangers from all over the world are paying for my little thing

Best feeling: complete strangers from all over the world are paying for my little thing

Just crossed 300 paying customers and man let me tell you it feels amazing in a strange way!
Lowkey cried a little bit.
Like completely random people are paying for this side projects you are building with your friends from countries all over the world : Netherlands, Kenya, Palau, Switzerland.
It feels f***ing amazing I gotta say.
I don’t see they as data points I see them as real human beings who gets value from my project and I’m proud. If I can get it, I know you guys will get it too!

Tips: I think a huge edge would be adding multilingual/i18n and do sem ads or organic content for non-US countries. U.S. is the highest pay potential market but hence the most competitive market. Go focus on Europe, even second tier EU countries and I think that’s where the opportunities are. Btw I’m building articuler feel free to check it out and see if it works for u or copy my onboarding etc.

Love.

AI was supposed to make our lives easier, so we built the missing piece

AI is getting insanely powerful, and somehow harder to use.
Taku fixes the last mile. It turns the best skills, agents, and workflows into real desktop apps anyone can run, remix, and make their own. Borrow setups from the pros, skip GitHub and setup, or just tell Taku what you want and watch it assemble the stack.
The more you work, the more Taku learns what you need, and brings the right tools to you.

The observation behind it: AI was supposed to let us do less. Instead there's a thousand new things in the feed every day, each one asking you to learn its prompts, install its dependencies, read its docs. More tools than ever, and everyone's more tired than ever.

Someone already spent months tuning the setup you need. On Taku it reaches you as an app. Open it, it runs. Then change it: swap the goal, add your own context, point it at your work. You describe what should be different; you never touch the code.
Honest status: it's a Beta. The Mac app is available now, Windows is an experimental preview with incomplete integrations, and Intel Mac and Linux aren't there yet. Publishing your own Stax isn't open yet either. That opens progressively through the Beta.

Borrow brilliance, make it yours.
