This is what Apple should have done a year ago.

But instead Nothing is charging full-steam ahead.

If you been following along here, you know that through the last couple of years. I've been talking a lot about self-assembling apps. About how the future of software will look very different from today.

We are closing in on that future, at an accelerating speed. It's happening right now. There is no going back.

Anything you can imagine, will be made possible, any fringe and super personal app that only you would need. Could and will be built.

What happens to software at scale when everyone can make whatever their hearts desires?

The future is here right now. This implementation by nothing is so smart. They make sure the apps you build look on point, and they give you the tools (no need to be a techie) You just use plain language and they sort the rest.

This is so smooth. I hope others will follow.
This is a very mainstream approach.

I'm watching this over and over. It's so smart.

Well, this happened. A big thanks to everyone — colleagues, clients, and friends — for making Obvious possible ❤️

[Rahul Gonsalves @gonsalves_r]

Since the 🐱 is out of the💼here’s a quick professional update.

tl;dr: earlier this year, we exited Obvious, the agency that @dhruvraisaxena and I built over the last 12+ years. Later this year, I’ll be able to share in more detail what we’re up to next, but until then...

[Dhruv @_droov]

We're moving out, but I hope we can find a good custodian who allows me to visit once in a while 💔

[Rahul Gonsalves @gonsalves_r]

We're moving out of our Central Bangalore office 💔. We have a few years left on our lease, so if you're interested in a beautiful, AD-featured office, please do write in to [email protected]

@suhasm @Bahrisons_books Yes, I very much remember your time there. I think I was supposed to help you learn, but it was most definitely the other way round 😂

Good times!

Some great lessons for healthcare design at population scale here 👇

[Daniel Burka @dburka]

In the last 5 years, we've learned a lot about designing digital tools for monitoring millions of patients with hypertension and diabetes. We have now collected the most important lessons into a practical Playbook. 1/5

@vibamohan_ How's the experience overall? How long can you keep it on without straining yourself etc?

[Obvious @obvious_in]

Tinkering with AI is super fun. But how do you write a prompt that gives you something helpful?

Come down to the Obvious HQ this Wednesday and we'll help you actually use AI for illustrations! 🎨

Paging Hubspot experts/ power users! I'd love to talk to you about getting set up, choosing a plan, tips and tricks. Pls DM if you're one or RT to help 🙏

[Dhruv @_droov]

@surbhiskjain @neend_app Horror stories for sleep? Are you serious?

[Dhruv @_droov]

If you want both, build a B2B business that serves B2C businesses, like @obvious_in 😉

[Karthik Sridharan @KarthikS2206]

If you want profitability, build B2B.
If you want fame, build B2C.

[Dhruv @_droov]

Hope to see some familiar and some new faces here :)

@vibamohan_ That's very right for products where innovation has maxed out (think toothpastes). In products where innovation defines the brand (think smartphones), building better and faster will always be relevant IMO.

[Obvious @obvious_in]

We start the new year with our doors open. Bangalore’s creatives, founders, digital nomads, small teams — come work out of our beautiful office.

Book a desk for the month, get a day pass or host an event in our space. The Residency is open!

[Obvious @obvious_in]

Whiteboards full of scribbles. Co-founders discussing the way forward. And a team working together to crank out some code. Seeing our space come alive has been really rewarding!🌟

We have plenty of space for more Residents! Sign up for a 7-day trial here: https://t.co/v6XYEy9gwa
