Just shipped https://t.co/AZOAd5m8bx using the new TrustMRR API from @marclou.
I was already using TrustMRR to hunt for the best deals in my budget, but my workflow was ridiculous: dozens of tabs, copy-pasting data, Python scripts, CSVs, manual weighted scores, and long ChatGPT threads.
When Marc dropped the API, software for my workflow was a no-brainer:
- Ranked buyer-side deal scoring
- Price context + deal checks
- AI reports + second opinions
- Watchlists + comparisons
- Soon: custom scores, alerts, exports, and more.
This is the first app I’ve ever shipped in days (well, all-nighters) instead of months or even years. Marc, thanks for breaking my software engineering brain - in the best way. 🚀
@JamesClear This principle also applies to sports.

@MaureenStroud@Mangan150 Any diet that reduces caloric intake, by nature, reduces glycemic variability & increases insulin sensitivity. Also they eat mostly white rice & sweet potatoes which are relatively low in glycemic index. They have lowest obesity rate in the world at 3%. It’s not just about carbs.
@Mangan150 Cool, I’ll look into it. But I still think it doesn’t discount the fact that Japan as a nation has one of the highest life expectancies in the world. Their portions are tiny compared to the average American plate. They eat less, so naturally their bodies find ways to extend life
A fit man has a gazillion goals & aspirations.
A sick man has only one.
Sad to say, but a lot of the times, health is not appreciated till sickness sets in.
@naval@DellAnnaLuca Great book on this is “the great pain deception.” When social or psychological pain is triggered through the limbic system (emotional center), the self no longer wants to face those feelings so it buries it in the body. Physical pain is manifested to distract emotional pain.
You’re either evolving or dying, never stagnating.
Examples:
Finance (depreciating cash in savings acct bc of inflation)
Business (decaying companies i.e. Sears, Kodak)
Mind (declining cognition when not reading/socializing)
Body (losing stamina/muscle when not exercising)
