How I'm growing my IG account past 100k (https://t.co/sWacSVRHzv) with a simple combination of @placidapp (image generation) @airtable (content) and @integromat (scheduling)

Here's how it works 🧵

I built myself a chrome extension called Pose

Any clothing model of any store becomes me.

Each brand still conveys their brand aesthetic, but I can quickly understand how something would look on me.

@graceongrid Does your team use the commenting feature? I find it always ends up fragmenting the conversation since the videos are typically linked inside of an already existing convo in teams/slack.

[Bryan Maniotakis @bryanmanio]

@realsamratc @jameygannon Care to share on insights on making it performant? I'm working on something similar and finding things chug around.

[Bryan Maniotakis @bryanmanio]

@raffichill @Neesh774 Congrats on the early success, it truly is one of the best sources for inspo.

@DanHollick Thanks for the peek behind the curtain!

@jameesy This looks great, what theme are you using?

@stylesshDev Looks promising!

@joshpuckett @tferriss Do you find it chokes on anything in your place? I haven't used one in years, but I would always have to block off areas in my apartment which was always a pain.

Design at Shopify is having a moment. A big moment!
Incredible talent, and even stronger output.

So we gave it a home: https://t.co/qkXmfsLHzM

@tar_uniqueee Damn, this is wild. Does your whole team use Origami or is it a personal preference?

[Bryan Maniotakis @bryanmanio]

@HevyApp Love Hevy, but the trainer falls a bit flat for me.

No workout history retention makes usage a bit tedious, it recommends dumbbell weights that I don't have access to, and progressive adjustments would be great in default mode similar to Macrofactor workouts.

@AliGrids Love this, is this custom drawn or pulling from a font?

i have a lot to say about these ads but holy fucking shit… this might be the most tasteful & brutal takedown of a category leader i’ve ever seen. & during the fucking super bowl? insane.

usually these things almost always fall flat (see: slack “welcoming” microsoft teams with a fucking newspaper ad & how cringe that was), but this one lands dead center.

even normies will clock the subtlety. the capturing of chatgpt’s drift in personality, tone, & vibes is absolutely unreal. almost surgical. normal ppl i know make fun of how chatgpt talks.

imo openai made themselves vulnerable here by simply trying to do so much (enterprise, codex, consumer, etc) & lacking a singular cohesive narrative other than they have 800m users. like even google is taking shots about openai being forced to run ads.

anyway i’ll post more but this was an absolute master class (i have posted about how openai competitors should handle their ads play, & this is a great start). also i would not count anthropic out of the consumer race yet (they have a lot of room to grow & even potentially acquire small startups).

@danilowoz 404, just a heads up.

@designertom Amazing. I was at a music startup around then and we were talking to him about some sort of partnership (I can't remember the details though).
