This was my office the other day. I was on vacation with my family, drinking coffee in the mountains, when a SimplePost user hit an error.

On the school run to pick up my son, testing ChatGPT Live. Now I can use SimplePost in the car to check my social media schedule, move things around, or schedule new posts - all with voice. x.com/OpenAI/status/210280832574232…

You’re integrating AI backwards. Instead of putting another AI assistant inside your app, give the assistant your customers already use access to your tools. When someone already pays for ChatGPT or Claude, why charge them for another writing assistant?

Simple Post in ChatGPT is 🔥 Just tell ChatGPT what you want to post and it will use the Simple Post do it. And the MCP App UI makes it a great experience for the user to know what is going on.

The best SEO strategy is to build something useful. I built SimplePost’s free social post preview tools with a simple bet: if they were genuinely useful, they could bring people to SimplePost through Google.

I built SimplePost to give ChatGPT and Claude tools to publish on social media. Not another AI writing tool — your existing AI can prepare, preview, schedule and publish. It’s been growing fast recently. Time to tell the story over the next few days. simplepost.social

On the weekend I turned one of my childhood games into a Roblox game. I used to play Baba Yaga with my sisters and other kids. I invented it when I was about 10. The kids had a safe house, different characters gave them quests, and Baba Yaga hunted them.

Have you wondered why AI labs keep hiring like crazy? AI was supposed to have taken all our jobs months ago, yet OpenAI has around 750 open positions and Anthropic has 400. They have better access to the best models than anyone, and still need a lot of humans.

Opus 5 when I tell it to fix a deploy script bug... It insists that I stop redeploying and use one of the deployments that kind of succeeded instead of fixing its own mistakes. Just do what I tell you!

GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra found a critical vulnerability in my code. It burned a mountain of tokens doing it, then refused to show me the issue “for security reasons.” So now I have Schrödinger’s vulnerability: definitely critical, but apparently not observable.

You are wrong about MCP. Many people still think an MCP server is a buggy local package set up by pasting API keys into JSON. Things change fast. Modern remote MCP servers install with one click, use OAuth, access remote data, and render interactive UI inside your AI interface.

Many people complain about the app review process, but it has been very straightforward so far and the review was very helpful and friendly. Publishing the app soon, just waiting for the ChatGPT plug-in to be approved...

Today was the first time I went to the gym and didn’t need another workout app. I tracked the entire session using only Simple Muscle, and it worked great. That felt like a real milestone.

Vlad Haltakov @haltakov.net · 10/07/2026

Getting the iOS app working was one thing. Making it feel like more than a local experiment was easy: - NestJS backend - PostgreSQL sync - Next.js dashboard - shared login between web and iOS Honestly, vibe-coding infrastructure was much easier than getting the gym UX right.

Vlad Haltakov @haltakov.net · 10/07/2026

The first gym test changed the product immediately. At my desk, the app worked. Between sets, it didn't: too many taps, bad defaults, awkward flow, and problems you only notice when you're tired. I recorded voice notes and fed them back into Codex/Fable after the workout.

I asked Claude Code to review some code. It is now doing... this. Can somebody explain what exactly happened here???

I got tired of copying workouts from ChatGPT into my gym tracker. That was the start of Simple Muscle.

Vibe-coded a better way to browse X with @openclaw I follow people via chronological lists, but X keeps snapping me back to the top and I miss posts. So I built a tool that pulls posts via the API, saves them in SQLite, remembers my place, and lets me swipe through the new ones

Life without kids is like licking ice cream through glass. With kids you have less time and less energy. But you unlock a whole new dimension of feeling you couldn’t imagine before. Life goes from 2D to 3D. You can actually taste the ice cream.
