I don't know how it works, but Junie by @jetbrains.com works better and faster for me than Claude Agent and Codex. And uses significantly fewer AI credits. 🤔

Bucha - Apple TV When Russia invades Ukraine in 2022, a Kazakh expat living in Bucha discovers his passport grants him a dangerous advantage: He can cross into occupie…

Based on a real story.
Heavy yet with hope.

If you want to better understand what was actually happening in the first month of the war, I highly recommend the movie Bucha.

Available on Apple TV in the US, Canada and the UK.

...
• Watch it within the first 3 days after release

This helps push the film into platform Top rankings — allowing hundreds of thousands of viewers to discover the story.

Thank you for helping Ukraine’s voice be heard.

The world still needs to see the truth about the heroism of Ukrainian civilians under Russian occupation.

I am asking each of you to personally help by taking three simple actions:

• Pre-order the film
• Share this post with friends in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.
...

Finally — it’s happening.

After two years of negotiations, the film “Bucha” premieres on Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. on February 24, the 4th anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

P.S. If you don't understand why some of these tragically comic posts are funny, congrats, you are on the AI hook.

P.P.S. It's sad and funny at the same time, but it's basically a summary of all the news in our industry in 2023-2025. And probably 2026 is going to be very similar.

5️⃣ "AGI/SGI is almost there! Google is hiring an economist to work on the post-AGI economy."
One year later: "Hm-m... Probably, we need to change the definition of AGI."

4️⃣ "We replaced 80% of our engineers/QA/support/whoever with AI!"
One year later: "We are so sorry for the significant drop in the quality of our product. And, by the way, we are hiring."

2️⃣ "The most powerful and dangerous person is not Elon Musk. It's that guy whom Zuck hired for gazillions to work on AI."
(after the metaverse basically failed)

3️⃣ "With AI, the productivity of our engineers is 10x. Now, they produce 10x more lines of code every day for the same money."

Top 5 posts about AI:

1️⃣ "Software developers are doomed! I vibe-coded this cool app over the weekend.
But I can't show it to you; it needs some adjustments."

5. For their failures, both put the blame on the "skill issue".

Bonus
6. Both make the wealthy those who are at the top.
7. Both bully everyone who is not following the crowd.

5 similarities between AI hype and socialism/communism.

1. Both promise utopia "just in 5 years".
2. Both overpromise and underdeliver.
3. Both rely on centralized decision-making.
4. Both attractive in theory yet ugly in practice.

Somebody knows how to do business.

@clickly.app now has 100+ UI components to build from.

- Including 70+ React Native Paper (by @callstack.com) UI components that implement the latest Material Design 3.
- 20+ basic components from the RN core set.
- And some others.

Of course, all components work natively on Android, iOS and web.

Thanks to Perttu Lähteenlahti from RevenueCat for the good talk.

React Native apps are winning in monetization in almost all categories among different technologies (both native and cross-platform).

✅ Download to paid
✅ Revenue per install
✅ LTV per customer

And only falling behind in "Year 1 retention" (on par with native).

YouTube video by Clickly Clickly - What's new - January 7th, 2026

What's new in @clickly.app - visual builder for mobile native apps.

I'm happy with good and steady progress.

YouTube video by Clickly Vibe-code vs. no-code

Some people are asking me about AI and no-code.

Why do we still need no-code (aka visual development) tools if we can use LLMs to create apps using prompts?

Here I'm explaining my understanding of the matter.

I'm so excited about how @clickly.app – visual builder for mobile apps is getting better and better.

Already you can:
- build UI using around 100 components
- create logic and data/API integrations in a visual way
- test on a mobile phone in real-time
- share the work with your team

An idea/feature that keeps resurfacing is already costing you time.

Building it once may be cheaper than thinking about it forever.

Even if it's not a top priority at the moment.

In the current tech bubble, AI stands for Artificial Income.

Day 493 of building @clickly.app

Refining the backlog, reevaluating the roadmap and planning the next 3-4 months.

Day 492 of building @clickly.app

After finishing the foundation for action flows (together with data formulas), coming back to UI components:

- Expose all events (e.g., onPress, onLongPress, etc.)
- Integrate more UI components (e.g., expo-blur, expo-linear-gradient, etc.).

Action flows in @clickly.app
Super powerful yet simple

Actions go top-to-bottom
Data goes left-to-right

Action flow editor in Clickly allows building advanced logic with flexible data/backend integrations.

Work in progress.

Follow for updates.

With each next update, I'm getting more excited about the progress!

The initial version of the action flows is now available.

Still many things to add and improve, but it's a good start.
