The Philippines rewrote the fertility playbook. TFR has fallen from 4.1 in 1993 to under 1.7 today. That’s US-level fertility at a fraction of the income. Even more striking: at US 1910 income levels, America had 3.5 children per woman. The Philippines has less than half. Fertility collapse is now universal. Source: https://t.co/8bUIWLdDBg

@ConvergeSupport wanted to check if there's an outage in San Juan today? Thanks!

@LSXYZ9 PH has been on the malphite jungle hype train in solo q for years. But we're not a major region so meh.

I definitely want a Galio t1 skin. LFG. #T1WIN #T12024WorldsChampion

Our team just applied to @SWCPTV #StartupWorldCup #BuilditPhilippines https://t.co/ydzsVZ6bSb

@HomoArchipelago @Olympics Ang galing talaga! The floor was 💯🔥💪! And we have some boxers that have medal opportunities. Wonder where this ranks on Olympic performances for Team PH historically.

VC money to fund some traditional Fil-chi businesses. What could go wrong?

[Timothy Go @timteego]

Overheard at Mandarin Sky in Banawe - "we can setup an entity in SG and we can raise VC money". QC Chinatown is where the deals are at.

For all the flak I give @Viber - I have to say their latest feature (folders) might prove to be such a huge life hack for managing hundreds of threads.

[Timothy Go @timteego]

@jayfajardo I agree with this sentiment! I think with the shift to sales invoices hopefully this gets sorted out - if i don't need to issue receipts then there's really no need to see each other.

[Timothy Go @timteego]

Amazing thread of sculptures! I missed some of these in my travels around Europe. Hope to see more of these in my lifetime.

[James Lucas @JamesLucasIT]

Thread of amazing sculptures you (probably) didn't know existed 🧵

1. Statue of King Arthur, England

[Timothy Go @timteego]

@jayfajardo Yeah not the NBS of our younger years for sure. I go there to buy office supplies.

So true and so misunderstood. After you achieve product market fit, you are only 20% of the way there. You now must find go-to market fit in order to ultimately scale.

Just saw the play test for Hades 2 from @SupergiantGames and I have to say it is looking pretty lit. The first one was such a pleasure to play. This and Slay the Spire 2 are probably the two titles I'm waiting to get my hands on. Clearly I'm a rogue-like fan.

@airtable where have you been all my life? My love for process improvements and tracking has finally met a no-code database management solution. Its like Google Sheets on steroids. Can't wait to share my ideas with the team at Buildit.

[Timothy Go @timteego]

@ccsullivan8 I even have a UITF I can't liquidate for a similar reason.

[Timothy Go @timteego]

I truly despise transacting in a bank physically. Such a waste of time and energy.

[Timothy Go @timteego]

@johnjanuszczak It will help drive costs down, especially for smaller organizations. You'll still have enterprises on bigger, bulkier stuff - unless this also portends potentially seeing organizations just develop inhouse programs.

[Timothy Go @timteego]

Find this so interesting. Maybe Micro-SaaS will be what opens up a market like the Philippines.

[Pat Walls @thepatwalls]

$30K MRR SaaS built off one idea:

Find a VC-backed billion dollar SaaS. And build a simpler, cheaper version.

Superhuman costs $30/mo.
Mailman costs $8/mo.

90% of the features for 1/4 of the cost.

Some more examples:

– Typeform ($59/mo) vs. Youform ($400 lifetime)
– Mailchimp ($100/mo) vs. SendFox ($49 lifetime)
– Intercom ($100/mo) vs. Tawk to (free to use)
– Calendly ($10/seat/mo) vs. TidyCal ($29 lifetime)
– Ahrefs ($99/mo) vs. Keysearch ($17/mo)
– Webflow ($23/mo) vs. Carrd ($19/year)

Huge opportunity here I think.

Completely hooked on #QueenOfTears.
