They are cutting off a workaround I have been using on the Plus plan, using it as a coding agent with unlimited usage.

Or RASX (Rust Axum Sqlite Htmx)

You already know what works: organic forum engagement gives you excellent conversions.

The problem is the hit-or-miss part. That's the actual constraint to solve.

Pick the two or three forums where your ideal customers actively ask questions about the problem your product solves, not where founders hang out.

Spend 20 minutes a day answering those questions thoroughly before mentioning what you build.

This builds trust and relevance. The conversion quality difference you see between paid ads and forums tells you where to focus.

I've also found that forums (in my case private FB groups) are the best source of leads, so I built an app (GTM Intel) to check them frequently and give me a daily list of leads to respond to.

P.S This is very meta / ouroboros but your post is actually one of the ones it found for me today!

It's against their ToS but not illegal.

Yes, when you're used to using the modern web with all its bloat it can be a huge surprise when you build something in C or Rust - everyday computers are actually incredibly powerful.

At least it's not like my mobile service, which when I run out of data also disables the payment provider for their web portal to buy more data.

A growth marketing Agent that's connected to your Google Analytics, Search Console, and can crawl the web to analyse your competitors: https://refreshagent.com

What I learned from building an AI marketing agent in Rust, and what I'd do differently if I started again from scratch (as a marketer not a developer)

Love it!

Refresh Agent is an AI Agent for SEO and Marketing Analysis.

If you've ever tried to use Google Analytics (GA4) and Google Search Console (GSC) to figure out what's working with your marketing, and what to do next to grow, you have probably got frustrated at some point.

It acts as a Marketing Strategist. You can ask questions like "why is my SEO traffic down this week" and it will give you a clear answer based on your site's performance data, as well as a checklist to improve.

It's set to "Ask". I just checked again and Facebook is no longer activating the microphone. A glitch before maybe?

I’ve found the same issue and also with Rust sometimes skips tests if it thinks they’re taking too long to compile, and says it’s unnecessary because it knows they’ll pass.

Thanks! I'm leaning into the concept of intelligence gathering / aviation aesthetic.

Thanks for the feedback. I should probably make it more clear - there is no description field.

The block of text is the 'Likely to outsource' column. I use Perplexity Deep research to try to infer what services the company might need based on it's probable current challenges.

In this case it was: "Cloud infrastructure support to manage rapid scaling, pivoting, and new product integrations as part of business model transformation[3]., Specialized consulting (e.g., industry-specific financial regulations, fintech compliance, and go-to-market strategy) to facilitate entry into new verticals and optimize operational resilience[2]."

Are you planning on adding any stealth measures?

The first site (Idealista) I tried it on flagged and blocked me / my home IP as a bot within 10 seconds.

I’ve experienced getting paid late by big companies a lot as a freelancer.

There’s a lot of evidence that they do it as a deliberate strategy to use small suppliers (who are unlikely to retaliate due to dependency) as an interest free loan.

Grok 3 did a pretty good job at summarising the reporting on this: https://x.com/i/grok/share/dRQgAZRK9Oc9aiGxs4tzeSRIA

What’s doubly frustrating is that these companies are never honest about this - I can’t ask “so how long are you going to delay this net30 invoice for as part of your deliberate strategy?” and get an honest answer.

Seems like they’re going to make a hardware product based on their open positions. A universal translator earbud would be nice.

Chain of agents seems to be a promising approach for splitting up tasks into smaller parts and then synthesising the results[1]

You can but you will likely end up with some invented spices.

Agreed. I plan to add some more context and guides around finding the right one. My experience with gestors (local administrators) has been extremly mixed.

Resources for people moving to and integrating into Spain.

Including translated index of government forms[0]

I moved to Spain a few years ago and love it, except for the paperwork. I’m slowly learning Spanish (currently 1112 day streak on Duo) but found it hard to get the right info.

So I’m using gpt4 and perplexity to do things like translate local news, government forms, and the official government update feed.

How often is it updated?

Does it include expired domains?

Agreed, so maybe there is some value in being a ‘local’ software provider.
