Sad day for America. Charlie chose dialogue over violence. You may disagree that he was in favour of guns. But he wasn’t in favour of murder. RIP Charlie. I hope BlueSky can learn something from him.

Why the midcurve meme makes sense: - if you're 70 iq you need to keep it simple. - if you're smart you know how valuable it is to keep it simple. (ps. hetzner doesn't belong on the left of this curve) (pps. aws useful in lots of cases. but is often overkill)

If you want a lot of views then replies are the way to do it. This two word reply has 360k views. My record timeline tweet is ~250k views. And this random reply got more 🤷‍♂️ Whether this reply tweet drove any value to my business or profile is another question. It likely didn't.

Supercut doesn't have a free plan so they send you to a competitor instead. Next level marketing and sales right here.

Recall just raised $38m. Their UI is standard shadcn/ui. It looks good. It works. Don't overthink it. Use @shadcn

Resend, Postmark, Mailgun - I've used them all (and more). They all send email. They all do the job. But @resend destroying the competition. What's crazy is that it's really not that different from other email APIs. Goes to show what a clean and simple product can do. Even in established markets.

Users don't care about your elegant solution - they care about their problem going away Technical correctness < user understanding - if they can't use it, it doesn't matter how well it's built Every feature has a cost - not in code, but in user confusion

Is it just me, or does that gold LinkedIn badge automatically stick out to you as a spam connection? Seems like it has the opposite effect of what's intended.

I starting using a tweet scheduling app. So much more efficient. I can write tweets without getting distracted by other posts. And can batch up a handle at a time to run throughout the day. It also adds an element of surprise when I log in to X to see what I posted that day.

Todoist is such a beautifully simple product. I can't add images to todos. That's annoying. But satisfying how simple it makes it. Do you ever feel you're adding too many features to your product?

Very cool project. This is the biggest collection of components I've ever seen. Built on shadcn. You can even use the Shadcn CLI to add them to your project. 21st.dev

Typical Woke Bluesky response I get. At least it's better than people telling me they'll celebrate Tel Aviv being nuked.

Woke Bluesky stands with the Houthis, Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas. I stand with Israel, the US, UK, Ukraine and the western world. I'm proud to live in the only democracy in the Middle East. I hope one day extremism is gone and we can live in a peaceful Middle East.

They want me and millions of others dead, and are shocked when we defend ourselves. Surprised content like this is allowed on Bluesky.

Israel is fighting a war of self defence. Hamas has been terrorising Israel for 20+ years. Ever since Israel left Gaza. We don’t want war. But were forced into it. The civilian death rate in this war is very low. You can yell genocide all you want. Doesn’t make it so.

Crazy how clueless people in the comments are about the war in Israel. Most Israelis support the war effort. They support the idf defending them. Even the opposition sat with Bibi in a unity security cabinet for much of the war. Many Israelis hate Bibi, but this isn’t Bibi’s war. It’s Israel’s.

Glad to see we’re seeing pushback against the “it’s all about distribution” mantra the indie world is full of. Having a good product matters. And marketing is easy when your product is awesome. x.com/levelsio/sta...

Fpl Transfers worked out well this week. Dropped Bruno. Lost -4. But brought in isak, enzo, Jackson who all did well. 22 total. Would have had 14. With the hit it’s only 4 point profit. But also much better positioned going forward. Also chance I win team of the week in Draft Fantasy
