“AC this, wash dryer that, US woohoo, EU boohoo” - Why are we eating this brand-warfare from the outside about us up? Europe has the strongest precision manufacturing in the world, we have leading teams in AI, CV, robotics. Europe is a leader in Automation and Frontier Tech! Not a single NVIDIA chip could be produced without European machines. Not a single American cloud, robotics, or deep-tech firm would operate without European manufacturing or suppliers. But we are too humble. Brainwashed to never celebrate Europe. By outsiders and our local politicians. Time for a change. Europe is the birthplace of industrialization. The home of frontier tech. Time, we act like it. Welcome to the real Europe! 🔥🇪🇺
vibe coding is making me feel much better about myself as the ai also makes all the same silly mistakes, soon resorts to trying things at random without properly understanding the problem, and gets totally stuck when trying to fix a missing closing tag

there are people who want to see change there are people who want to see themselves in the story over time you realise these groups overlap but are not the same

The excitement around this launch and product has been immense! Given all the database products out there, I didnt expect to see such an overwhelming response! 🤯 But, seems like Softr Databases do solve a huge problem for many people - fast, scalable, no API limits, no performance lags. We are live on @ProductHunt today! 😻 #softr #producthunt #databases
Softr Databases is live on Product Hunt 🚀 See how we’re going full stack so teams can manage their data and build the tools they need faster — all in one place. We’d love your feedback + support 🙌 producthunt.com/products/sof…

Fastest growing SaaS company of all time, powered by London tech 💪🇬🇧 huge kudos @plainsupport team
.@cursor_ai is now using @plainsupport to power their Slack support. Building a company is full of highs, lows, and a couple of “pinch me” moments. This is one of them. The team at Cursor are some of the most thoughtful, kind, and smartest people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. It's a genuine joy to work with a group of people who think so clearly, move so quickly, and care so deeply. Of all milestones, customer milestones are the ones that matter most – and just as importantly, what we're helping them achieve for their customers. Cursor recently started supporting their enterprise customers on Slack and as the number of customer channels and conversations grew, keeping on top of it all became really hard. The team at Cursor wanted a faster, easier way to triage conversations, categorize issues, and gain visibility into their support performance. Plain is built for teams like Cursor. Teams that want to meet their customers where they are - on Slack. With Plain, Cursor now has a single inbox for all their Slack channels and full visibility into their support. We're thrilled to get to work with the team. Thank you @nickwm, @danperks_ and @ericzakariasson for the partnership!

Designers 👋 I'm hiring for a role that's near and dear to my heart. Talking to customers should feel magical. For most support teams, it feels like filling in your tax return. Design at Plain exists to bring the magic back. We’re at a rare moment of change in this space: AI is transforming what’s possible, and we get to shape what the next decade of support looks like. That means rethinking the whole product experience from first principles - and obsessing over every detail. We're a company founded by two designers, where you'll be surrounded by a team with a super product-centric mindset and customers who hold us to an incredibly high bar on craft. This is the place to really push the envelope. Would love to hear from you. DMs open 👇

Our founder co-working space was rammed today 🤯 Today’s format: 1. Standup: to introduce ourselves and share what we’re working on (eg products like @aiapplyco & @TiinyHost) 2. Lunch: we make/bring lunch and eat together around the big table. 3. Demos: this also includes the wider @RamenClubHQ community joining remotely — so almost 50 of us watching in all! After we’re going for drinks for @BuildingWaves’s birthday 🎈 A great day building with great people.
🚨Huge news – i've officially opening a co-working space in east London🚨 Since we started Ramen Club in 2019, we've had a vision of building a permanent space for makers/SaaS founders. Co-working shouldn't just be a desk space, it should be a community of likeminded people to support each other to their goals, whether that's ramen profitability – or something beyond that. Finally, at The Bakery space in east London (*right* next to Dalston Junction station), we can realise this. Our early members have built incredible, massive products like Data Fetcher, Chargebackstop, CV Engineer and much, much more. We'll have: - 22 desks, with further breakout space - 4 meeting rooms - loads of screens to plugin to (most of our members are developing/designing all day) - super fast internet - weekly events: workshops, demo days, AMAs, everything you need to learn to build and grow a technology business going from 1 day to 5 days a week at the space - monthly socials - members can use the space to host their own events - we're aiming to bring this to other countries as well eventually, and members will be able to go between spaces ...this also includes the online membership 100% free Monthly pricing as follows (inclusive of VAT, no deposits or minimum time commitment): - 5 days/week: £299 - 3 days/week: £199 - 2 days/week: £149 - 1 day/week: £99 - 2 days/month: £59 Super excited by this, and open to all ideas from members on who to make this the best, most community focused space for SaaS/product creators in the world. DM or leave a comment for a free trial day. RT if you like what we're doing. Let's go! 🔥
Charlie is an incredible community builder - come cowork with him and @RamenClubHQ (and me!) in Dalston!
