@yiliush Happy user here! Some form of putting text labels on the canvas would be great.

been running around this past week dealing with interest in this. but locking back in, thank for your patience folks

@chrija Wait untill you try this one out: x.com/yiliush/status…

I'm surprised myself HOW much I'm gravitating towards Claude in the terminal for more and more things. 2 weeks ago I vibe-coded a simple web app dashboard that aggregates data from various bank accounts. Today I replaced it with a few vibe-coded Python scripts in a folder and Claude as the UI. Quoting Claude: "Tell me 'run the import' and I'll do it for you - I'll run the script, review the output for errors, ask you about manual entries, and verify everything looks right before handing you the file." Can't imagine a better UX. I think many people dismiss chat as a UI ... I think it'll turn out to be the best interface for many, many use cases... natural language just comes so, well, natural to humans. And when you pair it with AI that understands the intent, it works beautifully well.

@LauraModiano @PointNineCap @chrija @pawell @openclaw @andreasklinger That was a lot of fun! Hmu next time you‘re in Berlin

Berlin delivered the best energy! Thank you @PointNineCap, @chrija and @pawell for a hackathon, demo night and @openclaw meet up with soul! Loved chatting with @andreasklinger on Eurotechoptimism

@fabiankamberi so proud of you!!

We believe your next favorite human...isn’t. Today we’re Born: announcing a $15M Series A to reimagine AI friends. Here's our story:

Help my friend @PhilippZentner hit 10k followers! I met Philipp just after founding @alphalink_xyz while looking to integrate @lifiprotocol. Fast-forward Alphalink got acquired by @xPortalApp, and thanks to our connection, we brought LI.FI into xPortal. Beyond business, Philipp is one of the most helpful, “cut-the-bs-straight-to-the-point” founders you’ll ever meet. A master connector who’s intro’d me to incredible people and shared valuable lessons on fundraising (philippzentner.com/advice-on-earl…). He’s built one of the best interoperability products in crypto, continuously raising the bar for the entire industry. Give him a follow. You’ll walk away sharper every time!

Tribalism is the default in crypto. But scale demands composability, not silos. @xPortalApp is built on the thesis that everyone can win: users, chains, creators. Thanks @Web3Kristel for the deep dive on @buildersledger.

@DinBisevac Congrats maestro!! Super happy for you! Keep grinding 💪🏻

We burned $14M, were weeks away from bankruptcy. Today we have $25M ARR and are announcing a $58M Series A. All in a span of 1.5 years. Here's the story:

@mignano Would love to give it a try. Mind sending me a code over dm? Thanks!

This app is a lot of fun. I also may have a few extra codes…

Tune in tomorrow on @buildersledger for some personal takes on building products with purpose for the long game.

@Web3Kristel @xPortalApp @buildersledger Thanks for having me! It was really fun discussing personal views and experiences.

What does it take to build a crypto super app with 2.5M users? I sat down with @xPortalApp cofounder, Marko [@markoflux], to talk product, purpose, and the long game. Full episode drops tomorrow on @buildersledger

@sagarbarvaliya @chainlink @ChrisBarrett @Swisscrypt0 @elonmusk Another bhai will join soon as well ;)

@sagarbarvaliya @chainlink @ChrisBarrett @Swisscrypt0 @elonmusk Congrats bhai!! 🥳

@joewu_official @xPortalApp Thanks for the points. Noted.

Hi Marko! The dynamic to earning XP is now slightly different, first of all, which is interesting and not necessarily negative. The leaderboard rankings have had a significant revamp (unsure what by league actually means). Change is good, but continuity is somewhat a big thing that keeps people motivated. Where can we see Season 1/2 results? As suggested by a few, perhaps an overall lifetime leaderboard would’ve been nice, for people putting in immense effort continuously. Look forward to seeing more & improvements.

What does everyone think of the new season 3 of XP in @xPortalApp? My initial thoughts are: - It’s a lot more complex than before - More things “to do” by the looks of it - The reset on the XP progress is questionable One of the appeals before is simplicity. Now, unsure 🤔

@r3venger777 @joewu_official @xPortalApp That’s a fair feedback. Noted and thank you!

Our UX first approach is reflected in the great App Store ratings. Plus we always listen and improve — whoever doesn’t do this is left behind. More from xGenie is something you look forward to, I see. It will come with time. The biggest challenge is balancing well established UX patterns vs. AI-first while still delivering value. And it goes as far as I sometimes think to vibe code xGenie as a standalone app cause of the mentioned trade offs we are dealing with. Also the reason why enjoy so much what I am doing :))

I know that, and I wish you the best of luck in this venture. But having discussed it this morning with the CEO of Deblock, and talking about it with many French crypto entrepreneurs, the UX is essential. From the very first click. And if you look too hard and can't find what you're looking for, you stop. A Lite space for those who “just” want a wallet wouldn't go amiss. Especially for recommending it to friends and family. And a “Super” space to develop their experience. With real gamification to encourage switching from one to the other. xGenie could help... if it were a little more than a button. What do you think at xPortal?

At the end of xPortal's 2nd XP claim season, I saw a lot of this type of message (publicly and privately) within the community. People who are genuinely committed, clicking every day, never missing a task, only to end up with… almost nothing. Gamification relies on one fundamental principle: a fair effort-to-reward ratio. When that balance breaks, the outcome is always the same: frustration, boredom, disengagement, and eventually, people quitting, often encouraging others to quit with them. It’s also pretty clear that the community has taken the "reset" very badly, even if, to be fair, it was somewhat predictable. But the real question is: ❓Does the team even care about the MultiversX community anymore, now that they seem focused on other audiences? ❓ Before making this decision, who did they challenge their ideas with? ❓ Who looked at this plan and failed to warn them about the community impact? ❓ Did they even bother testing this with their own users? ❓ Or do they seriously believe they know better than the people they are building this app for? The result, unfortunately, is what we often see in these situations: - Overcomplicated mechanics - Disappointing outcomes - A reset that feels simply unacceptable We'll be talking about it tomorrow in GM Web3, and I look forward to hearing what you think.

@GRM_Web3 @therealgodot @soloMID_ I like the part „complete“, as that is exactly what we are building - A Crypto Super App. One place to invest, spend and earn with crypto. Or some might say the Onchain Revolut, but still long way to go 💪🏻

@therealgodot @soloMID_ @markoflux Personally, I find phantom much easier, more fluid and easier to understand. Even for a beginner. xPortal is more complete/complex, less fluid and it's sometimes hard to find your way through all the games. To say this is not to be blind.

@therealgodot @soloMID_ @GRM_Web3 Wallets are one thing. A Crypto Super App is another. Thanks for the kind words! ❤️

@soloMID_ @markoflux @GRM_Web3 I use both xPortal and Phantom daily and some more like OnChain and Rabby MM and more, still none of them comes even closer to xPortal and denying it is pure blindness. You can argue about how they manage the business, not about the top notch product, sorry.

@GRM_Web3 Appreciate the feedback and open discussion.

I don't want to dismantle each of your points, I prefer to share them in good faith and let everyone read them without biasing their opinions. You're welcome to an interview on GM Web3, by the way 😇 On the other hand, I'm afraid that claiming 2.5M users with so little value distributed to active users is not credible. You'd be better off announcing 100x less, we'd understand if you couldn't/wouldn't do more. Or else, you consider the revenue per user to be extremely low... which is problematic for any startup. And a very bad sign for the future token. Just my 2 cents.

@soloMID_ @GRM_Web3 Just a quick scroll on your timeline tells enough the human being you are. Do better

Stop the cap. You using other chain users as your own is you basically lying and you know it But you guys are used to lying so i m not surprised Imagine anyone believing that a SOL user will ever choose an inferior wallet when they have Phantom/Backpack This is why you will never make it, being disingenous never helps Do better - 2.5 million users 😂😂😂😂
