Hey yall, I just launched a product on @ProductHunt and would appreciate any help I could get.

https://t.co/1yjp4MDV5p turns any YouTube, TikTok, Twitter/X, or Instagram video into 40+ formats. Social posts, whiteboards, infographics, podcasts, and more.

This is something I've been working on for a while but mostly just using for myself, but PH and @ycombinator are doing a collab that could get me a YC interview.

Upvotes would be huge! Thanks for your support!

He broke on this like a cornerback undercutting a back shoulder fade

Everyone’s focusing on Wemby’s obvious mistake.

But can we take a minute to recognize Jalen Brunson’s awareness in this moment. He sees exactly what is happening in the moment, and puts himself in position to take advantage. Always engaged.

This is wild.

OpenAI just dropped Codex Sites.

Now anyone can give it a plan, dashboard, launch doc or idea, and turn it into an interactive app with a URL.

5 wild examples:

If you asked me 3 months ago, I never would believe I'd be saying this

But in June 2026:

🤯Hermes > OpenClaw
🤯Codex > Claude Code

I use each all day every day

[Builds By Ben @BuildsByBen]

After using Claude Code religiously for the last year, I'm very surprised to see Codex blowing it out of the water with GPT-5.5

Claude feels really dumb right now comparitively

Codex is solving issues for me that CC can't even find on it's own. Wild

@NHBullmoose @uncledoomer And you don’t need a masters degree to do comedy either lol

[Builds By Ben @BuildsByBen]

@InezHaz_ Yeah she loves it. Does it in the am and pm and my son can look at it and know what he has to do during that time

[Builds By Ben @BuildsByBen]

My wife has really loved using AI to help with parenting

She makes a different visual schedule like this everyday so our kids know what’s going on for the day/night

[Builds By Ben @BuildsByBen]

@Jmoon_174 The most recent big issues I faced were using Unity

Claude code has been good, but an issue that I’ve struggled with for over a week was done in less than a day on codex

Was pleasantly surprised

I like the UI and polish of CC better so I’d like to see that gap closed a bit

[Builds By Ben @BuildsByBen]

Using 5.5 is the first time it’s felt like this

Spent days on an issue that Claude Code couldn’t get right

Codex nailed it in a few hours

Hate how long it takes per task compared to CC but it gets it right faster in the long run

[Siqi Chen @blader]

nothing like switching to claude for a few days to try out a new model and going back to codex xhigh to remind you how much better 5.5 is right now

it's really not close

[Builds By Ben @BuildsByBen]

@0xPikki Yeah that’s what I’ve been seeing

[Builds By Ben @BuildsByBen]

@JohnnyNel_ Yeah I agree, with less errors that need fixing afterwards

[Builds By Ben @BuildsByBen]

@LolaSt1400 Yeah I recently upgraded to it

I’m still using Claude code for most tasks because of speed

But when I need something complex figured out code-wise, I’ve been turning to Codex

One of the tell tale signs that we are never going back to normal "civil" politics has been the liberal reaction to Spencer Pratt.

Spencer's home and entire community, his kids school burned down, their friends homes burned down, all of it due to gross incompetence and negligence from LA city government.

The reservoir needed to fight the fire was left empty for an entire year as the LA City government refused to accept any contracts for a tarp repair.

In response, liberals laugh at him, bemoan him, lie about him, and force him to get private 24/7 security because he is facing death threats.

They will burn your house down and try to kill you when you want to fix the underlying problems that caused it.

We are never going back.

@rodger @minakimes Bro, what language is this? 😂

[Builds By Ben @BuildsByBen]

Crazy how OKC has the rest of the NBA fanbase rooting for a team to play dirtier 🤣

Victor Wembanyama to Mason Plumlee in Game 5:

“Hard fouls.”

@AdamWeitsman @AlchemistTheOG @machibigbrother Also, doesn’t he typically buy a grail after selling off a few floors?

I mean he’s the top holder, sell shaming in 2026 is crazy

[Builds By Ben @BuildsByBen]

@RealPatSawyer Or just find a balance

Not everything has to be so black and white
