@its_ayesha_a Thank you! appreciate it haha

Designing with AI doesnt need to be slop, it can turn out to be the biggest creative unlock if you use it right.

@htahir111 Congrats on the launch!

Facebook VP of Growth Alex Schultz: “Retention is the single-most important thing for growth”

Alex walks through how to calculate a retention curve for your startup (graph the percentage of monthly active users on the y-axis versus the number of days from acquisition on the x-axis).

As he explains:

“If you end up with a retention curve that asymptotes to a line parallel to the x-axis, you have a viable business, and you have product/market fit for some subset of market.”

If you do not have a retention curve that flattens out, you do not have product/market fit and none of the growth hacking or virality tactics that people love to talk about will work.

“Focus on getting to product market/fit… If you don’t have a great product, there’s not point executing well on growing it, because it won’t grow. The #1 problem I’ve seen inside Facebook for new products and the #1 problem I’ve seen for the startups I’ve advised has been that they don’t actually have product/market fit when they think they do.”

Love this.

I built a Chrome extension on top of this about 4 months ago that automatically syncs your X bookmarks to mymind in the background.

I’ve been using it every day since, and despite never posting about it, it’s grown to 60 users on the Chrome Web Store.

Open sourced it as well if anyone wants to use it or build on top of it.

Your AI only knows what you tell it.

Now it can search everything you’ve saved in mymind.

Introducing mymind MCP:
A community-built integration that connects mymind to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Obsidian, and other MCP-compatible AI tools.

I originally built this for myself a few months ago. After seeing more people ask for it, I decided to release it.

@vanschneider I built this back in march approximately 4 months ago and only released it today. Honestly speaking, probably the worst timing I could have chosen haha

[Umer Ansari @iamumeransari]

@vanschneider an hour before I released my own community built mcp version 😭

I can now pull together the top 10 references from mymind for a startup launch video and have them automatically organized into a Notion page I can share with the team in minutes.

I’ve also started importing many of those cards into Obsidian, unifying spontaneous inspiration and thoughtful curation into a single source of truth. There are so many use cases for this that I can’t even begin to describe them all. I’m so excited for all of you to try it out!

As a power user, this mcp has yielded such an immense QOL improvement for @mymind. All of the design inspiration I've saved over the years, all the things I've written about, I can now pull that into Claude Code as context.

@Remotion My favorite still, this could genuinely be a poster for a high fashion brand

[Umer Ansari @iamumeransari]

design twitter has been obsessed with renaissance paintings for a while now - I decided to take it a step further with a custom particle sim system I built entirely in @remotion and three.js using claude code. Let me know what you think!

[Umer Ansari @iamumeransari]

99% of Remotion content is vibe-coded garbage. The other 1% makes you wonder why animation studios still exist.

Built this particle simulation today with Claude Code + Remotion.

[Umer Ansari @iamumeransari]

Built with @Remotion + @threejs.

Just replace the SVG with your own logo and render.
