Introducing my new open-source side project:

It's a crowdsourced list of the best open-source projects on the web.

Best part? It's dogfoods @dubdotco's API to create short links for each project page + display real-time click analytics for them 📈 oss.gallery
Here's the full tech stack:

◆ @nextjs Server Actions + Form Actions (zero API routes)
◆ @dubdotco's TypeScript SDK ()
◆ @tremorlabs for charts
◆ @vercel Postgres + deployment

The code is fully open-source – go check it out: 👇d.to/sdk

Life update: I'm starting a company around 🚀

We're building the link management infrastructure for you to create marketing campaigns, link sharing features, and referral programs.

Here's how it all started – and where we're going: Dub.co
Image @dubdotco Quick backstory: I built Dub​ as a side project to solve an internal need we had @vercel – sharing links on @X with nice OG images.

The product was fully open-source and quickly gained a lot of traction (#1 on Hacker News + 14K stars on @github).

Introducing Shooketh – an AI bot fine-tuned on Shakespeare's literary works:

It's fully open-source and built with:
◆ @OpenAI's new fine-tuning feature
◆ @nextjs + @vercel AI SDK

Full guide on fine-tuning in thread 👇 vercel.fyi/shooketh
So, what is fine-tuning?

It's akin to prompt engineering, but instead of customizing GPT via a prompt at every user request, you are customizing the *base model* itself.

Analogy: getServerSideProps vs getStaticProps in @nextjs 👇

→ vercel.com/guides/fine-tu…
What is Fine-tuning? Similar to prompt engineering, fine-tuning allows you to customize gpt-3.5-turbo for specific use cases. However, instead of customizing them via a prompt every time the user interacts with your application, with fine-tuning you are customizing the base model of gpt-3.5-turbo itself. A great analogy for this is comparing Next.js' getServerSideProps vs getStaticProps data fetching methods: getServerSideProps: Data is fetched at request time – increasing response times (TTFB) and incurring higher costs (serverless execution). This is similar to prompt engineering, wher...

▲ @vercel just launched the AI SDK.

You can now build AI-powered apps with streaming – starting with one simple command: `npm i ai`

Here are some examples👇 Illustration of the Vercel ... But first, why streaming?

Here are 2 examples – the first uses a blocking UI, while the second uses a streaming UI.

As you can see, the streaming UI is able to start displaying the response much faster than the blocking UI.

I spent the weekend upgrading dub.sh to @nextjs App Router.

Featuring:
◆ Segment-level caching
◆ Server components
◆ Parallel & intercepting routes
◆ Dynamic OG images + Metadata API

Here's what I learned 🧵 1. You can now cache individual fetch calls via segment-level caching.

Combine static, dynamic, and revalidated data inside reusable components. E.g. on @dubdotsh's homepage:
◆ GitHub star count: 60s
◆ Tweet testimonials: 1hr

The best part? Detailed logs for each cache hit 😍 Image

Weekend project: Building a Changelog for @dubdotsh with @nextjs App Router → dub.sh/changelog

Some of my takeaways:
1. React Server Components are 🐐-ed
2. File-based metadata API is a gamechanger
3. Route handlers are heavenly

Code is 100% open-source 👇 1. React Server Components allowed me to dynamically fetch data for the <Author/> component directly inside the component itself.

The best part? Leveraging @nextjs' built-in Cache API to set a revalidate timeframe of 24 hours.

Code: github.com/steven-tey/dub… A screenshot of the <Author...

Rolling out one of the biggest updates to @dubdotsh today:

◆ Unlimited custom domains per project
◆ Improved pricing (higher limits)
◆ Link search
◆ Ability to duplicate a link
◆ Project-level billing

The code is fully open-source – here's a quick overview 👇 1. Unlimited custom domains per project

You can now use as many custom domains as you want with your Dub project – no need to create multiple projects for all your domains.

The best part? Filtering your short links by custom domain 🤩 Image

We live in an era where you can go from idea to a full-stack website with perfect SEO & performance.

All in under 3 hours 🤯

Here's the story of how I built my personal blog using @nextjs, @contentlayerdev, @tailwindcss, @TallyForms, and @vercel ▲ Last Friday, my thread on the Twitter algorithm blew up.

It gained ~20M total impressions, and even got a reply from @elonmusk himself.

I quickly realized that I needed to turn the thread into a blog post for posterity & SEO.

Twitter just open-sourced their algorithm.

Some initial takeaways:
◆ Your following to follower ratio matters.
◆ @TwitterBlue subscribers do get a boost in the algorithm.

Will keep adding more to this thread 👇 1. Your following-to-follower ratio matters.

Twitter's "Tweepcred" PageRank algorithm reduces the page rank of users who have a low number of followers but a high number of followings.

Launched DomainsG.PT yesterday and the response has been incredible 🤩

Folks really love the names that it came up with 😌

Here's some of my favorite available .com domains from DomainsGPT:

◆ Dashcarry
◆ Zentrova
◆ Braindex
◆ Sensibyte
◆ Fletchon
◆ Swiftroost Screenshot of available .com domains generated by DomainsGPT Fun fact: I built something similar back in 2021 using a more naive Markov Chains-based approach, but the quality of the names it came up with were nowhere as good.

Really goes to show how powerful GPT is 🤯

The cat is finally out of the bag – Google relied heavily on @ShareGPT's data when training Bard.

This was also why we took down ShareGPT's Explore page – which has over 112K shared conversations – last week.

Insanity. Screenshot from TheInformation.com article: Devlin quit afte A moment of silence for @ShareGPT's Explore page 🥲

I built a free ChatGPT Plugin that helps you brainstorm domain ideas by automatically checking if they are available inside ChatGPT 💡

Bonus feature: Compare prices across registrars and get the cheapest price for your domain.

Here's how I built it 👇 First, if you have access to Plugins, you can try it out by going to the Plugin Store, click "Install an unverified plugin", enter "domainsg.pt", and click "Install".

If not, don't worry – I'm planning to launch this as a standalone product tomorrow, stay tuned 👀

The developer experience for building a ChatGPT Plugin is sublime.

I went into it expecting to write code logic to tell ChatGPT what to do. I ended up writing mostly natural language and everything *just worked* 🤯

It really takes declarative programming to the next level. The closest analogy I can think of:
◆ JavaScript/jQuery → React
◆ Chrome Extension development → ChatGPT Plugin development

Instead of writing imperative JS code, you *describe* what you want ChatGPT to do. The rest is history.

ChatGPT Plugins is a gamechanger.

You can now:
◆ browse the web
◆ reserve hotels/AirBnBs
◆ purchase groceries on Instacart

...the possibilities are endless!

We're witnessing the birth of a whole new developer ecosystem 🤯

This is equivalent to:

◆ Apple's App Store
◆ Google's Play Store
◆ Chrome's Extension Web Store

etc.
