New video course! 🎊 This time it's about Spec-Driven Development with AI. Every time I release a new course, I feel excited and anxious at the same time. Especially when I do something different from my usual style. Will you like it, or will you start throwing rotten tomatoes at me? I really hope you'll like it 🙏🏼. This course is different. It's not 10-25 hours long like my other courses. This one is only 2 hours. And this is because in the era of AI, developer tools, the UI and the AI models change almost every week. I can no longer spend 5 months building a 20-hour course. Because by the time I finish recording video lessons, the tool I used or the libraries I relied on will have already changed several times. So going forward, I will be making short courses - 1 to 2 hours long. This way, I can release new courses faster. And if something changes, I can rework the whole course in just a few days. This course is different from everything else I've made. I hope you'll accept that difference 🙏🏼. https://lnkd.in/gNKbY9J2

New video course is coming! I've just submitted it for review to Udemy. This new course is about Spec‑Driven Development with AI. 🥳 You will learn how to give your AI agent precise instructions, so it builds exactly what you want - with no guessing.

ChatGPT recommended my SaaS Hive instead of Product Hunt. 🎉 Someone just sent me a screenshot from their conversation with ChatGPT - and my SaaS Hive is at the top of the list. Saas Hive is Launch and Discovery platform. It is new and it is very hard to make it stand out because the niche is competitive and there are some very large players like Product Hunt. From day one our strategy was to make it SEO and GEO optimized. So that every SaaS product page that is launched on SaaS Hive is also optimized for AI crawlers. I believe domain ranking is becoming less important these days but what IS very important to get your site optimized for AI crawlers. And it looks like it is starting to work. This is so cool and confirms that the way we are building SaaS Hive has a great potential 😊 There is lot of work ahead! And I am super excited about it 🎊 #SaaS

Bots now account for 57.5% of all web traffic. For the first time in internet history, automated traffic has overtaken real users 🤦🏻‍♂️. This changes a lot about how products get discovered online. Considering this I am trying to make sure that every SaaS product page on SaaS Hive is optimized for AI discoverability. Not just for Google. For AI crawlers too. I made every product page on SaaS Hive server-side pre-rendered. AI crawlers do not execute JavaScript, so the page content has to be in the HTML itself. It is now. Every product page ships with Schema.org JSON-LD structured data. This tells AI crawlers what the product is, who it is for, and how it is priced. No extra work needed from founders. SaaS Hive has a sitemap and an llms.txt file. AI agents use these to find and navigate content on the platform. Every AI crawler, including GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and OAI-SearchBot, is explicitly allowed to index SaaS Hive pages. And every founder gets a private AI Crawlability Score on their product page. It shows whether AI crawlers can actually read their own website. Not SaaS Hive. Their own site. This is powered by my Unhid.ai 🙂. If you launched your product on SaasHive.com, all of this is already in place for your product page.

I built a SaaS product. I wanted people to know about it. So I went to ProductHunt and stayed active in the community. But every time I mentioned my own product in a post or a comment, it got removed 🤦🏻‍♂️. And I get it. Nobody wants spam. But there is a difference between spam and a founder genuinely sharing what they built. We build things because we want people to use them. That is the whole point. So I stopped fighting it and built my own platform instead. I created SaasHive.com. A place where founders can share about their products openly. Post screenshots. Talk about what problem you are solving. Explain who it is for. No one will remove your post. And it is not just a place to promote. I use what founders share to recommend interesting products to website visitors based on their interests. So the more you share, the more visible your product becomes. It is free. And you are welcome to promote your SaaS there without being afraid. Come share what you are building! 🤗 #SaaS
