The Leaderboard

gm legends, happy Tuesday.

Today: a context layer that briefs your AI before you open the chat, a personal website that looks like it took a week but didn't, and a game designed to give you the same adrenaline as a 3am PagerDuty alert — with a leaderboard. Also: whether taking VC money is actually worth it anymore.

Today: an AI memory tool that never leaves your laptop, Mac automation that compiles once and bills you never, and a menu bar app that finally answers the drawer full of mystery USB-C cables. Also: what happens when vibe-coding hits architectural reality.

gm legends, happy Friday.

It's Alpha Day — first-time public launches get a special leaderboard, upvotes and comments count for more, and one maker wins a 1-of-1 PH Meta Raybans.

Today: an AI that quietly watches your Mac notch so your brain doesn't wander, a mileage tracker for the write-off you keep forgetting, and a testing tool that sends a fleet instead of an agent.

gm legends, happy Thursday.

Today: a no-code editor that catches what vibe-coded apps break, docs that update themselves so you stop lying in your changelogs, and an AI CEO named Astra who's ready to run your whole operation. Also: whether any of this should be funded at all.

gm legends, happy Wednesday.

In today's digest: a Civilization-style command center for AI agents, a screen recorder that does the editing for you, and a design director in Austria who got tired of bad tuners and just built his own.

Today: someone gave AI agents a real phone number so they can actually call people; a Coinbase PM got tired of mobile tests breaking every time the UI moved and built the fix; a solo dev from Toronto decided the right amount of content per morning is one Japanese painting; and fmerian reverse-engineered how Kilo went from #5 to #1 on PH and the debate got interesting.

Weekend was busy: someone built persistent memory for Claude Code and it hit 3,000 GitHub stars in three days; Artin Bogdanov (a16z Speedrun, 15 years at Adobe) launched an audio learning tool that skips its own app entirely and drops content straight into your Spotify library; AI agents started trading crypto and Polymarket positions autonomously with 10 million actions already in the books; and one founder's pricing question turned into a real debate about what annual conversion rate actually means.

gm legends, happy Friday.

Vercel Day is live — tons of products on the leaderboard today; Kwindla Hultman Kramer, who co-created the gestural interfaces in Minority Report, built a massively multiplayer game you play by talking to LLMs and it's running on Vercel Sandboxes; a quant VC just shipped a model that predicts which PH launches raise a Series A; and there's a working Game Boy in your editor while your agents run.

The Pitch by Deel is in Dubai today — the final city stop before the Global Finale where 10 founders compete for $1M, vote for your favorites on the leaderboard now. Also: Ivan Zhao just turned Notion from a tool into a developer platform; Toloka's Olga Megorskaya started as a data labeler and is now betting human expertise is the missing piece in every AI stack; and Vercel Day is tomorrow.

gm legends, happy Wednesday.

Google killed Chromebook and replaced it with Googlebook — Android-native, Gemini built into the OS, Magic Pointer that sees your screen; a Columbia engineer built a 0.4oz wristband that remembers every conversation you have all day; Latitude wants to show you exactly where Claude Code burns your tokens; and Vercel Day is Friday — two days left to get your launch on the leaderboard.
