Sad day for America. Charlie chose dialogue over violence.

You may disagree that he was in favour of guns. But he wasn’t in favour of murder.

RIP Charlie. I hope BlueSky can learn something from him.

Why the midcurve meme makes sense:

- if you're 70 iq you need to keep it simple.
- if you're smart you know how valuable it is to keep it simple.

(ps. hetzner doesn't belong on the left of this curve)
(pps. aws useful in lots of cases. but is often overkill)

If you want a lot of views then replies are the way to do it. This two word reply has 360k views. My record timeline tweet is ~250k views. And this random reply got more πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Whether this reply tweet drove any value to my business or profile is another question. It likely didn't.

Recall just raised $38m. Their UI is standard shadcn/ui. It looks good. It works.

Don't overthink it. Use @shadcn

Resend, Postmark, Mailgun - I've used them all (and more).
They all send email.
They all do the job.

But @resend destroying the competition. What's crazy is that it's really not that different from other email APIs.

Goes to show what a clean and simple product can do. Even in established markets.

Signing up for MS365. You click "Buy now" they don't give you the free trial. You click "Try free for one month" and they do. Like why πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Users don't care about your elegant solution - they care about their problem going away

Technical correctness < user understanding - if they can't use it, it doesn't matter how well it's built

Every feature has a cost - not in code, but in user confusion

Is it just me, or does that gold LinkedIn badge automatically stick out to you as a spam connection?

Seems like it has the opposite effect of what's intended.

I starting using a tweet scheduling app. So much more efficient. I can write tweets without getting distracted by other posts.

And can batch up a handle at a time to run throughout the day.

It also adds an element of surprise when I log in to X to see what I posted that day.

Todoist is such a beautifully simple product.

I can't add images to todos. That's annoying. But satisfying how simple it makes it.

Do you ever feel you're adding too many features to your product?
