Something cooking up @essential 👀

Omi built Tempo Tap. Inspiration strikes anywhere. Subway, cafe, mid-freestyle. One tap widget. Find the BPM. Take it back to the studio. When you're in the groove, you're already tapping along. Now that instinct becomes something real.

Kuber built HN Digest. Hacker News is great. The mobile experience isn't. So he brought the best tech stories to his homescreen. Dot-matrix design. Zero distractions. 70% less browsing time. Built entirely with prompts. Didn't touch a single line of code.

We asked students worldwide to build their own Essential Apps. Personal software for personal problems. Thousands entered. We picked 5 we really liked! See more below. 🧵 And now, get them on Playground!
