stop innovating ❌

the guy who's shipped more "hit products" than almost anyone in history said this

Mark Pincus built FarmVille, Words With Friends, and Zynga Poker

8 of his 10 launches became hits. millions of users, real revenue, the kind of products people actually know

his framework is the opposite of what you've been taught: copy what's already proven, make one thing so good that 10 out of 10 users say "fuck yeah," then add one new twist that will probably fail anyway

he calls the refusal to copy "moral arbitrage"

we won't do it because school told us copying is cheating, which means the edge sits wide open for whoever has the least ego

this is basically how I've built my entire portfolio: Revid, Outrank, SuperX, PostSyncer - even Tweet Hunter and Taplio - none of them are new ideas

short video, SEO, growing on socials, all existed before me

I just picked proven categories and obsessed over making one thing meaningfully better, to make my product x10 better compared to competition

innovate by making the product better
not by creating a completely new category

Lots of potential with the new Foundation Model APIs on iOS 27.

Here is a prototype for ingredient substitutions in Crouton.

Quickly get replacement ideas, or if you have something in mind, get feedback. Hopefully shipping later this year 😊

Apple quietly updated App Review Guidelines, including its definition of spam apps.

Under them, Apple can remove some 'spam' apps already on the store.

Better check if your category is affected 👇

10 major changes to Apple's App Store guidelines today, and they're not messing around. The big one: egregious violations = instant removal + program termination. Thread 🧵

[Viktor Seraleev @seraleev]

Hallelujah! Asset Library! 🙏

No more:

- Build app
- Upload build
- Wait for review
- Change screenshots

Finally, we can update App Store screenshots without a new build.

The question is rather: How does Siri AI scores in the Trust-Me-Bro SWE benchmarks?
