I'm a solo builder.
Since around 2010, I've been obsessed with longevity and living forever.
Back then, immortality was either seen as just scifi or as something weird to believe in. "Why would anyone want to live forever... knowing death helps you appreciate life..."
I've heard it all.
It's how we evolved to cope with what's been inevitable.
Today, more and more agree that death is solvable. A bug we had to make sense as being a feature.
My dad had heart disease. Multiple heart attacks. Died and brought back. I was a teen. I saw it and it traumatized me early on.
I was forced to cope with the fact that death is near for him. Any minute, day, or evening now... I'd wake up with him struggling to breathe, in pain, and I'd have to call the ambulance.
This happened once a year. And then towards the end, it was once a month, and by the end, it felt like once a week because by then his organs were falling apart.
I couldn't save him. But I knew that in some future, people like him could easily be saved. Diseases can be prevented. People will be more proactive with their health. Lifespan will increase.
Because of all the new technologies that we've upgraded to and the ones we haven't even thought of yet.
We just haven't put in enough effort to build them.
To save lives. To extend them. Be immortal.
Some of these technologies I think are a bit obvious. We're seeing the early versions of them. Not the final form.
Devices that monitor your heart rate, your physical activity, your oxygen level, your blood sugar...
We're heading there.
One of the most important devices in our home is the toilet.
It knows so much. If only it can talk to us.
I'm a solo builder. So to get there, I built an application for your phone. To close the gap. To know what our bodies are going through before it's too late... before needing to set an appointment... before seeing a doctor... before even thinking, "maybe something's wrong."
Snapoo on your phone monitors your gut health via stool logs. The volume of your stool can tell a lot. Perhaps even predict ahead of time of what's to come.
The application is in testing now on @Apple 's TestFlight. I'm looking for some testers. It's not a perfect app, but it's a big step forward I think.

ai safety is going to evolve because of competition between foundation labs.
each company will try to exploit their users.
users get mad.
the other labs see it and maximizes on the opportunity to treat users better.
rinse and repeat.
the best hiring test for a project manager today is to give them a limited amount of gpt/claude tokens and see if they can spin up agents efficient to build a product end to end.
Here is of one of the engines that was built using LEAP 71 PicoGk and my CEM, that same engine was transferred to Fusion 360 and broke down into its assemblies from which I made this animation.
