Trump could have presided over a very strong economy. All he had to do was...nothing: Inflation was trending downward, the AI boom was raising growth.

Instead, he engineered a global trade war and energy shock, while shrinking America's labor force. https://t.co/JvvlsQ83R8

Someone made a small hardware device for the desk that monitors Claude token usage.

Calls it Clawdmeter. Kinda genius.

“But, if AI is that good it can replace lots of jobs very quickly, then that also means the organizations that eliminate those jobs must be experiencing enormous productivity growth. And we know that productivity growth means economic growth, which in turn means these same organizations can expand into new areas, build new products, and otherwise grow in ways were previously unprofitable. And new jobs will be created to support these growth initiatives and to support the new use cases AI enables – the new “social media manager” jobs of the AI era that previously didn’t exist.

Imagine the economic growth and consumer surplus possibilities if we can build things that were previously impossible – financially or technologically – as a result of AI. Imagine the advances in medicine that may dramatically change how well (and for how long) we live our lives. Imagine the consumer surplus that might be created by companies producing a whole new set of products we can’t even conceive of today. Imagine a world in which autonomous vehicles change the way we travel, expand the places we can live (because the nature of commuting is completely rethought), and change the nature of how cities are built (because the nearly 25% of urban space that has been dedicated to parking garages can be freed up for higher value uses). I could go on but will stop for now.

I was listening to a podcast recently with Ben Sasse, former senator from Nebraska and president of the University of Florida. The bulk of the podcast was about his current struggle with terminal cancer, but I thought his articulation of the potential for AI was pretty on point.

Sasse said, “Economics used to be a discipline about scarcity, but now it will be about ubiquitous abundance.” For most of our history, “scarcity” – whether of natural resources, financial resources, or even human ingenuity – has limited our ability to achieve “abundance.” But, if AI drives down the marginal cost of producing goods and services close to zero and enables innovation that has been beyond the imagination of even the most skilled innovators, the world that Sasse envisions will be pretty interesting.”

So many ways to make money after AGI hits

[Nav Toor @heynavtoor]

DocuSign Personal: $10 to $15 per month.
DocuSign Standard: $25 to $45 per user per month.
DocuSign Business Pro: $40 to $65 per user per month.

A 10-person team on Business Pro pays $4,800 to $7,800 a year. To put signatures on PDFs.

A team of 50 pays $24,000 to $39,000 a year.

And there is a 100-envelopes-per-year cap on most plans. Send more contracts and you pay extra.

Need SMS delivery? $0.40 per send.
Need ID verification? $2.50 per attempt.
Need premium support? $5,000 to $50,000 per year add-on.

You are rationing digital signatures in 2026.

DocuSign is a $10 billion company built entirely on this pricing model.

Now meet DocuSeal.

A free and open source alternative to DocuSign.

Created in 2023 by a Ruby developer named Alex who was simply trying to sign one document and realised every solution online was overpriced or required a subscription.

Three weeks later he had a working alternative. He pushed it to GitHub under the AGPL-3.0 license.

Today it has 11,800+ stars and over 1,000 forks. Bootstrapped. No VCs. No paywalls.

Here is what DocuSeal does:

- Upload any PDF and turn it into a fillable, signable form
- Drag and drop signature fields, dates, checkboxes, file uploads, and 13 field types
- Send to multiple signers with custom signing order
- Automated email reminders
- Mobile signing on any device
- PDF signature verification built in
- Audit trail for every document
- Bulk send and templates
- Full API access
- Self-host with one Docker command

Here is what DocuSeal costs:

Zero. Forever. Unlimited documents. Unlimited signers. Unlimited storage.

DocuSign limits envelopes. DocuSeal doesn't.
DocuSign charges per SMS. DocuSeal doesn't.
DocuSign charges for ID checks. DocuSeal doesn't.
DocuSign sees your contracts on their servers. DocuSeal doesn't.

Here is the wildest part:

The median DocuSign contract per Vendr is $17,250 per year. One Reddit thread has people saying "they want me to pay $4.80 per e-signature."

Self-host DocuSeal on a $5 cloud server and a 50-person team can sign as many contracts as they want without paying a single dollar.

Your contracts never leave your server. Your client lists. Your NDAs. Your employment agreements. None of it touches a third-party company.

For individuals who only sign a few contracts a year, you save $180.
For small teams of 10, you save up to $7,800 a year.
For a 50-person company, you save up to $39,000 a year.

Your documents. Your signatures. Your server.

100% Open Source. (Link in the comments)

United built the product that everyone who has every been on an airplane has wanted!

[Zack Onisko @zack415]

Last night we had the privilege of attending the investor soft opening of Western Flyer Brewing in Lafayette and wow, what a moment.

@loganwj’s story is one worth knowing. He walked away from a decade-long finance career at Citi, earned his Master Brewer certificate at UC Davis, spent years navigating city approvals and construction delays, and quietly built something special right here in his own backyard. That kind of patient, intentional entrepreneurship is rare and it shows in every detail of this place.

The space itself is exactly what the East Bay suburbs have needed – a true community third space. Beautifully designed by Erin Morris Architects with soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass, and a clean minimalist vibe that feels nothing like your typical NorCal taproom. 200+ seats between the indoor taproom and two outdoor patios, family friendly, central location right on Mt. Diablo Blvd across from Trader Joe’s. Whether you’re decompressing after the commute, watching sports with your kids, or just looking for a spot to hang with neighbors – this is it.

The beer is brewed on-site and visible from the taproom floor. The tacos are going to be the best in town. And Logan is just getting started.

So excited to be part of this journey and watch it grow.

Open to the public April 1st. Come by and check it out.

📍 3660 Mount Diablo Blvd, Lafayette, CA

Holy Moses

he’s built different.

If it’s easy, you didn’t go hard enough. Go til it hurts. Push.

I only know a few ceos who run their business this way. And guess what. They’re winning.

My friend @secondfret recently shipped Wender and it's the first AI design tool where the output actually looks good.

Not AI slop. Real design. Websites, apps, presentations. Dozens of styles to choose from or build your own.

If you care about craft, this one's for you 👇

[Zack Onisko @zack415]

My friend @awilkinson built something I wasn't expecting to be as good as it is.

Deep Personality is a 35-50 min AI assessment that spits out a 10,000-word profile of who you actually are. Why you self-sabotage, what work energizes you, why you attract the same types.

You can also run it on relationships with friends, partners, coworkers.

Free to start. Highly recommend.

My good friend @michaelsacca just launched HTMLPub on Product Hunt. It's a missing piece for anyone vibe coding with AI. Claude or ChatGPT builds your site, HTMLPub publishes it live instantly via MCP. No repo, no deploy config, just a URL. Really well done. https://t.co/FAbAk38Y6p

[Zack Onisko @zack415]

My buddy @bubs just launched Pre on Product Hunt and it's genuinely cool. Founders can now connect Supabase, Stripe, GitHub, Linear and more so the Pre agent actually becomes part of your team, helping you stay focused on what moves the needle.

anthropic fucking killed it with this. so many people will start using claude.

new feature lets you import your *entire* memory from chatGPT, Gemini etc into Claude so it *instantly* knows everything about you. no more reminding claude who you are.

the best fucking part is it takes literally 60s:

- copy and paste the below prompt into your alternative AI (eg chatgpt)

- paste answer into claude’s “memory” settings and… you’re done.

- Claude immediately picks up from the last conversation you had with it in chatgpt!

the opportunity cost to switch to anthropic just went to zero - their app is currently #1 in the app store

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Don't let Obama play the Iran card in order to start a war in order to get elected--be careful Republicans!

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Remember what I previously said--Obama will someday attack Iran in order to show how tough he is.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Be prepared, there is a small chance that our horrendous leadership could unknowingly lead us into World War III.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran.
