Facebook acquires App Store's #6 app 💰
This newsletter was brought to you byOtari by Mozilla AIFacebook acquires App Store's #6 app 💰
Yesterday, Josh Constine broke the news that Facebook acquired tbh, the anonymous app where teens send each other compliments.
First reaction: that was fast! But it comes as no surprise, the app was going viral with the teens and became the #1 app in the App Store last month. As of today, tbh is just under Facebook in the #6 spot – quite impressive for a 9-week old app.
A quick snapshot of the App Store charts does show just how powerful Facebook is in the app world. Mark Zuckerberg and team deserve a lot of credit for acquisitions like Instagram, Oculus, and WhatsApp, and time will tell if tbh becomes as meaningful as those ones. Although, it's certainly a fun app you should try.
P.S. Mark Zuckerberg's most notable skill may also be Evan Spiegel's most underrated assets.

Control LLM Spend From One Place
The hard part of shipping AI features isn't building them. It's explaining the invoice.
Otari tracks spend across every project in real time, breaks it down so you can see which feature is actually eating the budget, and tells you where the month ends before it ends. The inefficient calls get flagged instead of quietly compounding.
Find the expensive prompt while it's still cheap to fix.
