   It is a nice mini-blog, it's for free and such but

   As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.

   However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.

   My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).

   Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

   👍 Pros:    Free

   👎 Cons:    Social justice|Basic features|Quality of content

• A Practical Guide to Effective Claude Code: Less Impressed, More Involved

  At Churnkey, I'd lie in bed mentally refactoring, obsessing over architectural decisions, seeing data flows in my head. I knew every line. Every function. Every quirky workaround and why it existed. The codebases lived in my head rent-free. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• What is your average churn rate monthly on your SAAS business? What you think that is a good and realistic percentage?

  At Zubtitle.com, we have been focusing on bringing churn down from 10% down to 7%. We even started a new SaaS (churnkey.co) that helps others cut churn via better cancellation flows. Source: about 5 years ago

• We bootstrapped multiple $1m+ ARR SaaS, one was acquired at $150k/mo MRR by Calm Capital, and now we are working on a B2B SaaS. Our personal SaaS portfolios include Wavve.co, Zubtitle.com, Churnkey.co, Duplikit.co. Ask us anything!

  Most recently, we built a suite of internal tools as a way to reduce churn across all of these SaaS companies. It worked so well that we packaged them up and released them as their own product, Churnkey. We now help other SaaS companies cut churn by deploying optimized cancellation flows.

• Those of you who have been approached by a someone wanting to acquire your SaaS company/product, how did it happen and how did it go?

  We recently sold that business to Calm Capital. We realized that the business really needed more seasoned operators to get to it next level of growth. Plus, it was time to take some risk off the table and free up time to work on our new venture Churnkey. Source: about 5 years ago

• Client-side semantic search for your static site

  The search box on the homepage now runs keyword, semantic, and hybrid search, with a toggle so you can compare and watch them disagree. Type pydub and flip to semantic mode to see it get the answer wrong; flip to hybrid to see it get it right again. The whole thing is a 4 MB lookup table, a tiny document index, and about 300 lines of dependency-free JavaScript, lazy-loaded only when you focus the search box so the... - Source: dev.to / 2 days ago

• How to Pass AI Costs to Customers Without Losing Them

  Start tracking costs from day one with a tool like Tokonomics. Start charging when AI costs exceed 15% of revenue or when you see a clear 10x+ variance between your lightest and heaviest users. Early-stage startups can absorb costs temporarily for growth, but set the expectation early that AI features have usage-based pricing. - Source: dev.to / 2 days ago

• JavaScript still can't ship a full-stack module

  While developing Wasp, a JS full-stack framework, we keep researching other ecosystems (Rails, Laravel, Django, etc.) and finding ways how they figured out developer productivity. We kept finding these reusable legos, so we gave them a name: "full-stack modules". Let's define what we mean by that exactly. - Source: dev.to / 16 days ago
