Today I’m really proud to launch Kickstart Exchange: a free service that provides advertising for indie app developers. You show small adverts in your app, and in exchange adverts for your apps appear elsewhere – it's a link exchange! https://t.co/QTUHk2ZPVu

@twostraws I have a ChatGPT and a ChatGPT Classic in my apps folder. I didn't install the ChatGPT classic.

So for the first time I have burnt through my 5 hour window in 1 hour using Fable 5. I currently have the $20/month plan. Not sure if this is going to be good enough. Just need to decide if I really want to upgrade to the Max plan. #claude #fable5

[Chuck @syclonefx]

@twostraws I'm doing the same thing this weekend. I built the multi-agent system for Claude with Fable. Going to test it out this weekend before I lose it on the 12th.

[Chuck @syclonefx]

I finally got a Claude subscription and the first thing I want to do is to try build a multi-agent system using Fable 5 as the Coordinator and 4 worker agent to build a project. The first project is a simple website to see what I need to fix. #CluadeCode #Fable5

If you ever need to extract all of the code snippets from a WWDC Session and have it all in a single Markdown file, then you can use my little vibe coded WWDCCodeExtractor app. Download source code or the DMG from my GitHub repo.

Every new SwiftUI framework update from WWDC26 in one place.

I’m especially loving the new transition and toolbar changes this year.

Save it for later, and share it with your developer friends :D

Kickstart arrives May 15th, and you asked to see how it helps with marketing your apps. Well, here's a video showing just one of its marketing features – creating beautiful, shareable social media videos quickly and easily! I'll post a different feature tomorrow 🙂

ICYMI: I made a video about securing API keys in your app.

Spoiler: You'll need a proxy server. This video covers @AIProxyTeam, the service I use in my apps.

After months of work, my new app is finally available to preorder on the Mac App Store. It's called Kickstart, and it has just one job: to help indie app developers make more money on the App Store. How does it do that? Let me explain…

[Sinclair Ta @sinclairdta]

I just went deep on @tferriss in conversation with @Nikhil_Kamath and I can't stop thinking about what Tim said about AI that nobody else is saying.

"AI is alcohol, power, and money. It's an amplifier. If your direction is wrong, it will amplify how wrong you are."

Most AI discourse right now is about features, benchmarks, and funding rounds. Tim came in with something different — a ruthlessly practical framework for when AI is and isn't worth your time.

Here are the 9 ideas I'm carrying:

On AI and direction:

→ If you don't have clarity on your #1 priority, adding AI agents will make things worse, not better. It creates an infinite supply of distracting busywork and labyrinths you can chase yourself into

→ Peter Drucker said it: effectiveness is doing the right things, efficiency is doing them well. Doing something well doesn't make it important. Figure out the what before the how

→ His personal use of AI? He uses it dozens of times a day — but only after years of being clear on his zone of genius. He said: "If you need AI to beat the next person, you haven't found your blue ocean yet"

On job loss — his honest, unsanitized take:

Most people hedging on this have large AI investments. Tim called it out directly. The people promising smooth reskilling are "shilling their bags."

The factory worker displacement comparisons from the industrial revolution fall apart when you take a magnifying glass to what actually happened. Those people went from factories to Walmart. That's not a reskilling success story.

→ The social contract for new graduates is broken — study hard, get into a good school, get the job. That last step is gone for analysts, junior lawyers, junior engineers

→ He expects 5-7 years of "disorientation" before labor markets re-stabilize

→ The "everyone will get a leisure class lifestyle" prediction? He'd bet his entire net worth against it. We are wired to compete. Free time without engagement leads to conflict, not utopia

On biohacking and longevity:

Tim's framework is a barbell — subtract first, then consider adding. Not pills and stacks. Subtraction is the lowest risk move.

→ Intermittent fasting, weight training, Zone 2, and VO2 max work. "The fundamentals work because fundamentals work."

→ He fasted all day before the conversation. One coffee, some electrolytes, exogenous ketones before the recording. That's it.

→ He's optimizing for healthspan — functional quality of life up to death — not raw longevity. His personal target: stay fully functional until 85, not live to 120 on a protocol

→ His Alzheimer's family history haunts him. He's watching ketone monoesters, bioelectric headsets like Fion, and cyclical low-dose rapamycin research closely

→ On GLP-1s (Ozempic/Mounjaro): Not dogmatically against them, but has watched friends lose dangerous amounts of muscle mass because they can't eat enough protein on the drug. Warns: if you're in a caloric deficit without protecting lean mass, you're destroying your metabolic engine

The line I keep coming back to:

He described a brilliant, disciplined friend who quit X because it was ruining his life. After a year off — happier, lower anxiety, better relationships. Then a few months ago he started sending links from X again.

Tim's verdict: "He's defenseless now. Like yeah, you can use meth and figure out all the behaviors to offset it — or you could just stop."

He hasn't had social media apps on his phone in 3-4 years. Not as a flex. Because he knows he can't win against teams of PhDs whose entire job is to hijack your attention.

The 4-Hour Work Week turns 20 next year. The insight at its core hasn't changed:

Define. Eliminate. Automate. In that order.

Most people skip to step 3 and wonder why their life feels like a labyrinth.

Thanks @Nikhil_Kamath for the conversation. This one landed. 🎯

Create custom transitions in SwiftUI.
This is a lesser known API, but it's actually quite easy to use.
