... more of them every day, and sometimes it feels like it s getting harder to keep track of them all. But I think most of us have already developed a small set of AI tools we simply can t imagine our day without. If I had to pick a few AI tools that have become part of my daily workflow, these would be: ChatGPT + Claude summarising and improving text (and Codex in VS

... months ago, I had an idea that looked pretty convincing on paper. The problem sounded real. The market existed. There were already competitors. And I could clearly imagine

... vibe-coded it, every change broke something else. We had to rebuild. A lot. April I speculatively pitched a16z Speedrun. We reached the final interview and were told we d hear back about a $1 million investment. Imagine how crazy that felt. May We planned a three-week fundraising window and filled 75% of the round. Then a major UK VC offered to take the whole thing. We decided to stand by our angels and finish the round with them ... ... market: I speak Portuguese, Mariana is Portuguese and my wife is Brazilian. We ran a test in Portuguese. We recruited 100s of Brazilian users in three weeks, mainly thanks to Ting on WhatsApp. IYKYK . December Based on competitors

... That title is deliberately dramatic but is it wrong? I m a scientist who codes as a hobby. In a few weeks, with AI, I ve built more usable web tools than I once imagined creating in years. And I m not special. Thousands of new websites, calculators, apps and micro-SaaS products now appear for every imaginable

... another app switcher. I mean being able to keep things like project folders, terminal commands, documentation, websites, notes, AI tools, calendars, emails, or even live dashboards permanently accessible on your desktop or in your menu bar. For example, imagine having a menu bar icon with all the shortcuts related to the project you're currently working on. Click it, and everything is there: folders, files, repositories, documentation, terminal commands, apps, websites, essentially your entire workspace in one place. Instead ... ... hunting through Finder or your browser, you can open what you need or switch between projects in just a couple of clicks. Or imagine

... author. One story. One ending. We think that s boring. Chillpen turns storytelling into a multiplayer experience. Writers don t just publish stories, they build worlds together. Readers don t just consume content, they influence what happens next. Imagine Hogwarts being written by thousands of brilliant, slightly insane people around the world. Imagine

The two sides need a shared coordination layer that connects: Project activities Operational events Affected spaces and assets Expected disruptions Alternative routes and workarounds Staff, guest, and visitor impacts Imagine

... somewhere in there I ran into the most ironic problem in AI: Every morning, every one of my tools had forgotten me. My project, my decisions, my preferences gone. I was re-introducing myself to my own team daily. Imagine hiring a brilliant engineer with total amnesia. Now imagine

... that almost every digital document can now be questioned. I started looking into blockchain because it provides an immutable timeline. My first idea was to store the actual files on-chain. Then I realized why almost nobody wants that. Imagine storing your passport, family photos, legal contracts, invoices, medical records, or private videos on a public blockchain. Even if it were technically possible, most people simply wouldn't be comfortable with their personal documents becoming part of a permanent public ... ... blockchain first?" That's a fair question. C8DOC isn't designed to determine whether a file was created by AI or by a camera. Instead, it proves when a specific version of that file already existed . For example, imagine

... charge upfront, mass-refund later" model is a ticking time bomb for your Shopify business and how you can test product demand without risking your payment processor account. 1. The Devastating Hidden Cost: Unrecoverable Fees The biggest secret that competitors offering automatic mass refunds won't tell you is how payment gateway fees work. When a customer buys something on your Shopify store, your payment gateway (whether it s Shopify Payments, Stripe, or PayPal) takes a processing fee typically around ... ... transaction. When you issue a refund, the payment processor DOES NOT return that fee to you. Imagine

... Imagine this:  Both devices on the same wrist, same night of sleep, same morning. One shows green, one shows red. And neither will tell you how it decided. That's not a hardware problem. It's an algorithm problem. Different weightings, different baseline calculations, different thresholds - all proprietary, all invisible. You're left choosing which black box feels more right today. The reason we open-sourced the scoring algorithms in Open Wearables wasn't just philosophical. It's because ... ... conflicting scores are meaningless without context, and context requires transparency. When you can see exactly how a Resilience Score weights HRV versus

Comment from Samir Asadov(@samir_asadov): For specialist/practitioner products this 'brand vs product' framing breaks down the product IS the brand statement. A financial model template built from real deal experience signals more credibility than a thousand brand posts ever could, because the buyer (a CFA with a deal on their desk) reads ... ... were only concerned w/ my wellbeing I'd do the same, but when I have others I'm responsible for, and they themselves have mouths to feed, I think differently about the long term effects of my brand vs

... thought we knew We assumed enterprise customers wanted the same things as our small business users, just more of it. More security. More control. More features. We never talked to them. We read blog posts. We looked at competitor pricing pages. We guessed. Here's what we missed: Procurement cycles. Enterprise deals take 6-12 months. We had 30-day sales cycles. We weren't built for that. Security reviews. We needed SOC2. We didn't have it. Customers asked ... ... enterprise features until they're ready to pay enterprise prices.

When I left my job to build @Meet-Ting , my co-workers couldn't imagine leaving a safe salary.
