iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

The bottleneck might no longer be idea generation or critical analysis, but building hardware, and evaluating results. Maybe this is where tiny experiments matter most — small, measurable tests that force contact with reality often before long deep-dive developments of an abstract theory. (2/2)

AI is quietly changing the process of science. Unlike how loudly it changed the software engineering role. Everyone can now generate ideas, simulations, even “explanations”. It’s quite powerful to be able to do breadth-first searches across domains so quickly. Who knows where it’ll take us (1/2)

I’m always surprised at how much educational content is online for free. Props to all the creators out there sharing practical tips on using new tech, or academic concepts at the very edge of what we know! Been listening to @curtjaimungal.bsky.social interviews lately and super appreciative.

And on this Wednesday morning, I yearn for Hacker News to crucify me.

The dream is to keep it #foss and #degoogle by getting rid of Firebase CM next. Any ideas for alternatives in Flutter appreciated! #indiedev #privacy

Open sourced my first project! Read the Room: know the world 🦎 AGPLv3. Flutter + Supabase. Responses stay local, only aggregates hit server. Now with generation filters: Do Gen Z and Millennials actually see the world differently? 🤔 App: readtheroom.site Code: github.com/readtheroom-...

Tasteful shitposting is definitely an art and I wish I was better at it. Problem is, as with most things, you gotta practice!

Balancing physics beam/experiment prep time with building a privacy-first app is... a vibe. Both involve caring way too much about things most people probably don't think or care about. One ends with peer review. The other ends with App Store reviews. Equally painful.

Imagine! Also hi Chris.

Soud K @soudk.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

What if you could see how people across different ages, cities, and countries actually felt about an issue — not just the loudest voices, but the real distribution? Would that change how we see each other?

Also, how does one even go about marketing a nonprofit social media app, meant for good / generating stats, and discussion out in the world? 🤔 #Marketing people, if you're interested in sharing your expertise please do offer some advice!

My IRL friend just got followed by THE John Cena on Xwitter says that is why he can't leave the platform. Can some famous John follow me here on @bsky.app so I can have a sick clap back tomorrow? Maybe @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social? That'd be sweet 🤓

Soud K @soudk.bsky.social · 17/10/2025

That new @veritasium.bsky.social video on six degrees of separation was awesome. Check if your followers on bluesky are a small world and show us!

Yesterday I met someone who is the admin of an 80 person group chat just for... Polling. What are the chances 😂 Hopefully we can get them to merge forces with @read-theroom.bsky.social

Today I would like to publicly thank one of my dearest friends for some of the wisest words I've ever heard uttered from a human being. "To be cringe is to be free" - @janayf.bsky.social I'm here for it.

Oh yeah, one week in and here's where we are at with @read-theroom.bsky.social 362 USERS 👥🫂 38 COUNTRIES PRESENT 🌍!! >1500 questions asked pulling in 22,600+ responses. I keep checking every hour, begging to see 40 countries on the platform... My feelings rn: 🦎🥹 😆💜

(2/2) At least then the experts, politicians, and community leaders can truly know where people are at and meet them where they're at. That's what we're building @read-theroom.bsky.social but it only works if we do it together. Join the movement: readtheroom.site #UnitedNations #TechForGood

(1/2) I always imagined what a decentralized and truly democratic UN would look like. What if we all really knew how the masses felt; without the top-down media, or algorithm-driven silo-ing feeds online telling us. What would that look like... Would the masses be correct more often than not?

As a physicist, this was a really funny question for me to see on @read-theroom.bsky.social on day 2 of launch week. How old do you think the universe is? Clearly my physics friends all agree... Sus?? 🧐 readtheroom.site #IndieDev #Cosmology #Physics #ProductLaunch #AstroPhysics #SciComm
