Looking for parents with kids in primary school to beta test my new reading app.

Parents teaching early reading hit the same wall: after the initial phonics curriculum, it becomes hard to find material that is at the right difficulty and that systematically fixes weak spots. Existing books are either too easy, too hard, or fail to reinforce specific problem sounds.

I built Brave Reading to solve that. It’s an adaptive reading system for early readers. Parents do one thing: listen and tap mispronounced words. The system updates a mastery model of every phonics component and generates the next day’s passage to target exactly the child’s current weaknesses, while introducing new skills at a controlled pace. Difficulty stays just above the child’s level to drive rapid progress without frustration.

The engine is a phonics knowledge graph aligned to Common Core grade expectations. Each correct or incorrect pronunciation adjusts mastery of the underlying sounds. Story passages are generated to reinforce weak skills and test the next ones. The result is accelerated progress from beginner to roughly fifth-grade reading level with minimal parent effort.

The first five passages are free. Unlimited access is a one-time $49. If you teach a young reader and want something that adapts precisely to their needs, try it and tell me where it breaks.

@Shpigford do it. you can either create courses for $, or put out a bunch of free stuff ala @rileybrown and grow a huge audience that you build products for.

Infrastructure agent (when relevant): Inspect deployed infrastructure across environments (AWS, Heroku, local/remote databases) using native CLI tools in strictly read-only mode. Enumerate services, configurations, and connectivity without mutating state. Derive architecture from observable resources (instances, networks, storage, env vars, endpoints). If the provider, account, or environment is unclear, require explicit identification before proceeding.

Can confirm. Years of living in one of the wealthier neighborhoods in Germany, I've never met a single German who earned the money to buy a house here.

Also lived in France and Italy and saw the same.

In most countries billionaires are self-made. They invent new products or services that drive progress.

In Germany, Spain, Italy, and France, most billionaires inherited their wealth. Europe has simply lost the entrepreneurial spirit that once drove innovation and prosperity.

We're going back to the moon for the first time in 50 years and most Americans have no idea.

We still do extraordinary things.

@dvassallo Are taxes actually going to be fun this year?

My agents have been waiting for this. We're going to be up all night figuring out our new workflow.

[DHH @dhh]

Basecamp is now fully agent accessible with a brand-new and comprehensive CLI, wrapped by a great skill, and backed by a revamped and much expanded API. It's a fantastic way to give your agents access to everything in Basecamp and integrate it anywhere. https://t.co/DaM419yKSI
