GIỚI THIỆU VỀ TẬP NÀY
Two guys who got tired of paying for software they could just build.
Justin and Mike push play on The Stand Up after a long break and demo everything they have shipped over the last stretch. They estimate they have killed two to three thousand dollars a month in subscriptions over six months by rebuilding tools in their own likeness.
This one is technical and unedited. Real screen shares, real bottlenecks, real diagnosing a server mid episode.
What we demo:
A custom DAM built on Tigris and fly.io, replacing Google Drive for a terabyte of podcast archives
Temporary public links that self revoke after 24 or 48 hours, for videos and SOWs alike
Why a tag system beats a folder tree when an MCP is the thing doing the searching
The transcript problem, and why timestamped transcripts are what make a content library actually queryable
Riverside pricing, the API tier, and why book a demo always means bread
OmaLoom, an open source Loom replacement built as an Omarchy Quattro plugin
SkillDeck, a private Git package registry for agent skills, written in Rust
The DaisyUI skill that was hijacking every project and started the whole thing
Own your content or centralize it. We explain why we picked the harder road and who should pick the other one.
