I think the challenge is that everyone can now build apps

But

1) almost nobody has distribution (like an audience), or

2) the money to pay for distribution (ads or UGC), or

3) the creative genius to get distribution for free (classically called guerilla marketing)

@supercut_video @lennysan I wasn't moving the window... just recording the full-screen Chrome window on my second screen (Philips monitor)... I'll try it again and ping support if it reoccurs

Unrelated note -- would love an MCP feature that allows me share my transcripts with Claude & other LLMs

[Paul O. @PaulROR]

So I just tried @supercut_video (h/t @lennysan). Amazing product - finally found an alternative that makes me cancel my Loom sub.

Only complaint is the window mostly cut off when using two screens. i did a recording for your review @supercut_video: https://t.co/ZWhv0hV4Fv

wise words. for highly talented people: wanting to look (and feel) impressive is in practice one of the biggest blockers to mastery of their craft.

The #1 killer of dreams is not lack of potential, but rather lack of urgency.

[Babájídé @Babajiide]

High agency is your greatest asset when the odds are stacked against you.
Growing up with limited resources teaches you that waiting for perfect conditions means waiting forever. You learn that nobody's coming to save you, not because the world is cruel, but because everyone's fighting their own battles.
High agency means you stop asking "why me?" and start asking "what's next?" It's seeing every constraint as a puzzle to solve, not a wall to stop you. No connections? Build them. No capital? Start where you are. No mentors? Books, podcasts, and observation become your university.
The beautiful paradox: those who start with less often develop more agency. When you've never had a safety net, you learn to build wings on the way down. You become resourceful in ways that privilege can't teach.
Your background isn't your destiny, it's your training ground. Every obstacle you've overcome has been building your agency muscle. The hunger that comes from scarcity, when channeled right, becomes the drive that refuses to accept "that's just how things are."
The path isn't about forgetting where you came from. It's about using that perspective as fuel. You see opportunities others miss because you've learned to create value from nothing.
Agency isn't about denying systemic barriers exist, it's about refusing to let them have the final word on your story.

@Whiz_Queen @freshbooks congrats and well done!

One thing no one prepares you for in marriage or committed partnership, is the inherited deep sadness & anxiety you feel from sudden separations of your couple friends, especially those who seemed perfect together.

I guess you relate less when you're young / single

[roon @tszzl]

say it with me now. experts are fake, smart generalists rule the world, everything is designed by people no smarter than you, and courage is in shorter supply than genius

[Onboard @OnboardGlobal]

Getting paid in EUR or GBP shouldn’t feel like a workaround.

Introducing EUR & GBP accounts on Onboard 🇪🇺🇬🇧

Now you can receive payments from clients, employers, businesses and friends with no extra steps.

For freelancers, remote workers, and global professionals, a simpler way to get paid.

@startupgrwth @antigravity @Google I think I'll just bite the bullet - go with a Claude Max subscription, and downgrade my @Google One plan

@antigravity -- this is what churn looks like

[Paul O. @PaulROR]

@antigravity by @Google keeps getting worse everyday with horribly slooow responses, low quotas and frequent server/rate limit errors.

such a shame as I was an early user and loved it when it launched.

[Paul O. @PaulROR]

@screensageapp what version is this on? I'm on Version 0.2.9 (00020900) but don't see it

[Paul O. @PaulROR]

@knightofdelta interested 🙂

[Noah Kagan @noahkagan]

Hot take: OpenClaw acquisition will go down as one of the worst acquisitions of all time.

It’s insanely buggy and Claude Code can do nearly 80% of functionality without constant maintenance.

32.4% open rate for the first campaign via https://t.co/MrfIxRlAp5, not bad!

@_WillOG I just found this

Used https://t.co/MrfIxRlAp5 to send a broadcast campaign to 16k contacts, and it only cost $1.66 from my AWS bill. ✌️
