@jevlorde Battery upgrades are the only ones I still feel. Cameras win launch slides; battery is what you notice at 6pm. So we're building O-Ring: a slim magnetic charger designed to snap on, then detach and pass to a friend when their phone's dying. https://t.co/hW3rBicKrI
@buildwithpb 3% at 2am with no charger is deadline-season horror. I'm building O-Ring for nights like that: a thin magnetic charger designed to snap on, then detach so you can pass it to a roommate when their battery hits the same cliff. https://t.co/hW3rBicKrI
Asked hardware founders to poke holes in O-Ring. Their advice: build an ugly prototype fast, start with off-the-shelf coils, launch narrow.
The real test: snap it on, charge, pass it to a friend's phone.
Which phone should we design for first?

@Drylee234 Power bank for hotspot is the fairest trade in town. You lend her battery, she lends you data, and somehow the shawarma still gets paid for.
@HasBFromTheWest Classic move. The charger stays at the desk and the phone comes home to pull a double shift. Low power mode and brightness on the floor till you two are reunited.
@bun_mii Holding an iPad up to your ear is peak dead-phone energy. Moments like this are why I'm building O-Ring, a magnetic charger designed to detach so a friend can pass you their power. Good luck with the debut tomorrow! https://t.co/hW3rBicKrI
@Context2X Leaving the power bank on B12 is the best ending. Most people will happily lend a stranger a charger. The real problem is whether it fits their phone.
@thatgirlcalriri Charger compatibility really is the new friendship test. I'm building O-Ring around this: a magnetic charger designed to come off your phone and onto a friend's compatible one, so sharing power is just a hand-off. https://t.co/hW3rBicKrI
Your friend's at 3%. Your phone has a charger snapped on.
Do you hand it over?
That's why I'm building O-Ring: a magnetic charger designed to come off your phone and onto a friend's compatible one.
Power, Unlinked.

@Jiggaman_0 That stage hits everyone. The phone's thin, then a brick and a cable come along everywhere. I'm building O-Ring, a magnetic charger designed to snap on, then come off so you can pass your power to a friend at 5%. https://t.co/hW3rBiccCa
@nwa_onye_igbo That's the famous ghost touch π Plug in the wrong charger and suddenly the phone is opening apps and typing messages you never wrote.
@creative_yua Number 2 is the one most of us break. There's always a random cable in the bag doing the job. It's part of why I'm building O-Ring: a magnetic charger designed to snap on with no cable, then come off so you can pass it to a friend at 5%. https://t.co/07g28K6iVd
