🚀 Introducing Bubbles for Teams! End live meeting fatigue & embrace async collaboration.

This is how we envision a harmonious work-life future, a thread 🧵

We are working with OpenCode to allow Codex users to use their Codex subscriptions and usage limits in OpenCode directly. Also exploring how to support other awesome actors in the space.

I recreated ChatGPT in Google Sheets. Thought LLMs are a black box? Now you can see *exactly* what is happening. Link to sheet in comments

No, the guy passed my home in the video and that “inflatable man” you see near the end of the video was only installed a few days ago. This is definitely from April 2025. And yes it’s real, unfortunately looks like this every weekend on my street. The district supervisor @JackieFielder_ says she can’t do anything because she’s “legislative branch” and is saying the major office needs to fix it. Hopeless situation

Losing track of time yesterday and missing a meeting prompted me to create this iOS shortcut that sets an alarm for each daily. https://t.co/BeQS3oHuKY (set as daily automation)

@danielhanchen @bnjmn_marie How do you pass in args though? like trainer.train(resume_from_checkpoint = resume_from_checkpoint)

Announcement:

We're looking for a GM to take over Signature Block.

We started the pub in mid-2022, inspired by an influx of requests for advice on how to start and manage a fund.

Since then, we’ve published 100K+ words across 20+ (mostly evergreen) essays, enough to fill a 200-page book.

Signature Block reaches 55K subscribers — a substantial audience within this niche, collectively managing an estimated $30B+ in AUM.

There's tremendous potential, so @vedikaja_in and I are looking for the right partner to amplify what we started.

This isn't a traditional job req. We're looking for an owner, not an employee, with vision.

Details and a link to apply in the next tweet. 😄

@dotproto @earthquakesSF same in sf mission!

At @usebubbles we've standardized how we work with newsletters and communities. Our process is sometimes frowned upon but we are big advocates. It provides a middleground with agreed upon metrics that are mid-funnel rather than being too top of funnel (typical CPM) or too bottom of funnel (affiliate like).

I hope to see more of these collaborations in the future where performance is rewarded and newsletters take responsibility in who they partner with and why because they are directly incentivized to do so.

💸 I raised over $8 Million for @usebubbles because I hate being on Zoom calls 💸

Let me explain (a thread)

🟥 A bubble is PERFECT for teams like mine. I can sit and watch it when I can, just like an email, but with the ability to go through the document with a human touch 🫶

Being a parent in the workplace can sometimes feel alienating. I WFH and have a toddler who’s constantly needing my attention, which means I’m sometimes stepping away mid-meeting, going off-camera, helping pack up before an appointment, etc.

A tool I’ve found to be helpful for my schedule is @usebubbles - you can make quick videos to work asynchronously. Check it out and try for free: https://t.co/efH85ptj1x #ad
