I published my first article on @Substack this week. I took a look into some data to understand is Host countries usually do better at the World Cup. The results were surprisingly positive!

Host nations have historically punched way above their weight at the World Cup - 17 of 20 since 1930 outperformed their career average.

Uruguay & England both jumped 5.5 stages and won it outright.

#USMNT/#ELTRI/#CANMNT are off to hot starts in 2026. Pattern continues? 👀

I built a new app to help with exactly that! Check it out here:

Adults slowly lose touch with friends.

Not because they stop caring.

Life just gets busy.

What if staying connected was just one small daily habit?

[Daniel J. M. Fleming @DanielJMFleming]

@SaidAitmbarek I built an app that helps friends stay close with a simple daily check-in.

Instead of endless scrolling, you see how your friends are actually doing.

Early users say it’s the calmest social app they use.

@0x_null_dev https://t.co/RnyuS7Uh7P - it's a social app where friends all respond to a new thoughtful question each day, sharing more and connecting more meaningfully.

@heyblake I'm building an iphone app for small friend groups where everyone responds to one thoughtful question a day - no performing, no endless feed, just real connection!

Last July I started building a small app with a simple idea:

What if social media worked better for close friends than large audiences?

Here’s the concept ↓

The app quietly launched this week and already has users across several countries.

Still very early but exciting to see people using it.

[Daniel J. M. Fleming @DanielJMFleming]

@darrenmarble The hardest thing is getting eyes on your tweets - I didn't really believe that I'd get my app to the point where it is on the app store, which limited my confidence in building in public. I wish I had now!

[Daniel J. M. Fleming @DanielJMFleming]

The app is called OpenUp if you're curious.

Trying to make social media feel human again.

https://t.co/RnyuS7Uh7P

[Daniel J. M. Fleming @DanielJMFleming]

Social media connects us to hundreds of people.

But somehow we talk less to our closest friends.

So I built something smaller:

A daily check-in with people you actually care about.

No performance.
No followers.
No algorithms.

Just honest updates.
