Good air, clean water, and food are fundamental to a good life. In that sense, they should be treated as fundamental rights.
But air quality has been steadily degrading, and it's not really part of the mainstream conversation. That needs to change. Right now, if you look at the site (link in comments), everything looks green. But as we get closer to the end of the year, things will start looking much worse.
Solving air pollution is hard, but the first step is simple: people need to know what they're breathing.
Right now, that's not possible. India does collect air quality data, but it's either locked away, too broad to tell you anything about your locality, or just not published at all. There's no single place a citizen can go to get a clear, neighbourhood-level picture.
So we set out to fix that.
Today, we're launching an open, pan-India air quality platform, built in partnership with leading organisations in the field. The goal: give citizens, schools, local governments, and communities direct access to the data that affects their daily lives.
At @RainmatterOrg , we've been committed to keeping this conversation alive, and this platform is our attempt at making that happen. All the data on the site is free and open, so others can build on top of it.

Spent 20 hrs this weekend to vibe code an app. Used Claude for ideation, research, UX + spec finalisation; Stitch for visual exploration (80% final); Figma Make for production designs; AI studio for prototyping and Claude code for production code and deployment.
2026 rocks! 🫡

"AI makes everyone a developer" is true the same way "cameras makes everyone a photographer"

@Introvert_hu_ji His escape was a happy story till this video surfaced.

We were there on a Sunday morning. Had the streets and the sun to ourselves. Amazing moment.

I used to wear @WHOOP. It burnt my hand (under the sensor). I complained to them. They (partially) refunded the leftover amount from my annual subscription.
They are 10B in valuation!

BREAKING: WHOOP RAISES $575M AT $10.1B VALUATION I am pleased to announce that we’ve raised $575M at a $10.1B valuation to accelerate our mission of unlocking human performance and healthspan globally. This round was led by Collaborative Fund with participation from 2PointZero Group, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Mubadala Investment Company, Abbott, Mayo Clinic, Macquarie Capital, Glade Brook, B-Flexion, IVP, Foundry, Accomplice, Affinity Partners, Promus Ventures, and Bullhound Capital alongside a group of individual investors including Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, Rory McIlroy, Virgil van Dijk, and Mathieu van der Poel. This investor group and this moment reflect a powerful evolution underway for Whoop and the broader healthcare market. Whoop was born in performance - trusted by the best athletes in the world to train, recover, and compete at the highest level. That foundation remains core to who we are. You see that in the iconic athlete investors joining this round. But it also represents our push into broader health. In the past 12 months, WHOOP has received medical clearances, launched blood testing, and created a platform that has saved lives. Abbott and Mayo Clinic - two of the most respected and influential institutions in global healthcare - are now investors in Whoop. These are organizations that have shaped modern medicine. Their decision to partner with us is a clear validation of where our technology is headed. Healthcare systems around the world are reactive. For too long, they have waited for people to get sick, then intervene. Chronic disease is rising and costs continue to climb. At Whoop, we believe the future looks fundamentally different. We are building the most powerful, personal, preventive health platform in the world - powered by continuous biometric data, advanced analytics, and AI to help people understand their bodies and improve their health in real time. I am grateful to our team, our members, and our partners for believing in this vision. I’ve been building this company for 14 years and I’ve never been more excited for the future.

Google Stitch is interesting but let’s be honest about what it is.
Spell check didn’t make anyone a better writer. It just made bad writing less frequent. That’s what AI design tools do. They clean up the mess. They don’t create the vision.
You can prompt claude code, gemini, or any of them and they will all give you something competent. Not bad. Just not interesting.
When everyone has access to “pretty good,” pretty good stops working. It becomes noise. The baseline shifts and very rapidly the only stuff that cuts through the noise is the stuff that has a point of view.
That takes an eye and imagination and I promise you no prompt box is ever gonna give you that.
In summary, good designers are definitely not cooked.

This is just luxe pricing, no rationale.
It just needs to be a reliable and consistent machine, so it delivers predictable coffee flavour. These machines have proven it through years of usage, new machine will need to go through this trust-building life cycle.
Vishakh Ranotra@VishakhRanotra
How is a coffee machine so expensive? What kinda technology are they using inside it? China will sell you a 6-axis industrial robot with servo motors cheaper than that.

Indeed. They have always been, AI has just filtered the core skills.

Great designers are suddenly an extremely limited resource

I agree. Decision making is the job. AI automation takes away the effort from other aspects, making decision making even more critical.

I agree. Strategic scope and specificity of PRD is required to make something meaningful.
The journey from PRD to deployment has certainly been disrupted.
Nan Yu@thenanyu
PRDs are more alive than ever. When the cost of implementation goes down, describing what to implement and why is where all the leverage goes.

Dear @SarvamAI, drop "India's" and "sovereign". Just "Full-stack AI Platform". It's cleaner.

@OkenK19 Truly sad. I had so much excitement at 9 AM before stepping into the event. But every hour I spent there, it just felt like the event was designed to tell you all of the things that weren't possible/permitted... basically make you feel second-class in 20 different ways

It's a weird time. I am filled with wonder and also a profound sadness.
I spent a lot of time over the weekend writing code with Claude. And it was very clear that we will never ever write code by hand again. It doesn't make any sense to do so.
Something I was very good at is now free and abundant. I am happy...but disoriented.
At the same time, something I spent my early career building (social networks) was being created by lobster-agents. It's all a bit silly...but if you zoom out, it's kind of indistinguishable from humans on the larger internet.
So both the form and function of my early career are now produced by AI.
I am happy but also sad and confused.
If anything, this whole period is showing me what it is like to be human again.

There’s a legit opportunity to start a dystopia tour in Delhi.
Begin with a tour of the garbage mountain, then a cruise on the foamy Yamuna. After that ask for a deep breath in a park & then challenge them to cross a road as a pedestrian + have them hire a car to honk endlessly.
