I ranked on Google and AI searches within 2-3 weeks of using…

Here's how it works: → Researches the best content for your niche → Auto publishes everyday to your site → drafts you blog/social posts for high DR sites like medium, reddit & linkedin → gets you backlinks on autopilot Result: your site gets 1000s of google visits a month without you doing anything 🤯 I'm launching http://honeywerank.com in a few days: join the waitlist!

Two weeks of EloSync, in three pieces

I've been tightening the parts of the CRM people touch every hour: - Calendar: task due dates and lead follow-ups now sit next to meetings, with week, day, month and agenda views, plus Google or Outlook sync. - Cmd+K: jump to any page you have access to from anywhere, without opening the sidebar. - Automations: a new lead, a deal changing stage or a new ticket can create the follow-up task itself, with an owner, priority and due date. Every run is logged. The common thread is fewer follow-ups that depend on someone remembering. Next up, I'm working on the lead-to-contact conversion flow.

Gemini 3.8 Flash is a beast!

I've been using Gemini 3.8 Flash in Antigravity, and honestly it's impressed me more than anything before it. Before this model, I was relying on Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6. I wasn't even touching Gemini models because, let's be honest, they were trash (pre-3.7 Flash). Now I'm using 3.8 Flash for almost every task. It's the best model I've used. Usage never runs out (I'm on the paid Pro plan), and the speed is unbelievable. But if you're the type who expects to get the job done by throwing a 1-2 line prompt at it, this isn't for you. I've seen a lot of people be making fun of 3.8 Flash, and I genuinely don't understand why.

It used to take us around 5 weeks to deliver the frontend of…

Not because we were slow — but because that was the process. First, we would design the entire website in Figma. Then the approved design would go into HTML conversion. After that came responsive testing, fixes, and final polishing. By the time the frontend was ready, around 5 weeks had passed. After working this way for years, I kept thinking: There has to be a faster way. That thinking eventually became KitFront. Now, for the same kind of project, I can set up the Starter Kit, browse and preview the sections I need, copy the code, customize the content — and get the frontend ready in around 5 hours instead of 5 weeks. That’s the problem I built KitFront to solve. Less time rebuilding frontend. More time delivering projects. 👉 kitfront.com #KitFront #BuildInPublic #FrontendDevelopment #WebDevelopment #Bootstrap #TailwindCSS
