10x Entreprenor — 1x Software engineer — building an app to manage your social media



I've scoured the App Store and found 30 niches packed with $50K+ apps Day 1 of building a profitable iOS app - zooming out to spot the real opportunities - hunting for something that gets me fired up - sizing up the competition



To those curious it’s not a sample size thing (cc @jackfriks) it holds true for all apps. See AppFigures data below: One hypothesis is RC is more popular for apps starting out. Younger apps = less revenue. Less time to grow. This isn’t true though - if we look at apps launched only since Jan 1, 2026 Superwall avg is $3.1k (n = 896) vs RevenueCat’s $960 (n = 16k) For apps launched after Jan 1 doing over $10k/mo - RC has 65 apps compared to SW having 15. 0.4% of apps using RC pass $10k/mo in under 6 months. (avg = $46k) 1.7% of apps using SW pass $10k/mo in under 6 months. (avg = $52k) @HHaandr and I looked into this about a year ago and the happy ending is that apps using us both actually do the best. Only 233 apps launched this year using us both, and the avg is $4.8k The best founders don’t build anything in house unless it gives them a competitive advantage. Doesn’t really matter what the cost is because they know these tools pay for themselves. They use SW for paywalls and AB testing. They use RC revenue analytics and subscription management 💥


Introducing Claude Tag, a new way for teams to work with Claude. In Slack, Claude joins as a team member with access to the channels and tools you choose. Tag Claude in and delegate tasks to it while you focus on other work.



We’ve designed and built our first AI chip: Jalapeño. Designed from the ground up by OpenAI and brought to production with @Broadcom, Jalapeño is purpose-built for the LLM workloads powering ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic products. Chips are foundational to the AI economy. Building our own expands our full-stack platform from products to models to infrastructure, and will help us scale intelligence, serve more people, and expand access to AI.



1-bit GLM-5.2 GGUF vs. Claude 4.8 Opus vs. GPT-5.5 We gave 3 models the same prompt and compared one-shot outputs. The 1-bit GLM-5.2 GGUF ran locally on a Mac Studio M3 Ultra with 256GB RAM at ~21.6 tok/s. Which output do you like best? GGUF: huggingface.co/unsloth/GLM-5.…




Two days ago the loop built me a gun that couldn't shoot. Today I pulled the trigger and the whole street ran. Day 13 of building GTA 6 with a loop of AI agents. Remember the gun that wouldn't fire? and the crowd walking around arms-out like scarecrows? both gone today. Today's progress: - shooting works now. trigger pulls, round actually leaves the barrel. - the NPC walks better now. - then the part I wasn't ready for. I aimed at one of them and pulled the trigger, and the whole street panicked. they scattered and ran from me, terrified. first time the world's ever reacted to anything I did in it. next up: hit effects, gunshot sounds, reload.
