@yongfook It’s literally what I see 95% of indie hackers do. Take a course to learn to sell courses.. 🤮

If you’re an indiehacker, don’t sell hopium to other indiehackers. It’s icky.

@MetaQuestVR Sit down

We're settling this today: sitting down to play VR or standing up? Which do you prefer?

Mark your calendars! We are excited to announce the @NASA Space Apps Challenge will be held November 14-15, 2026! 🗓️ This two-day hackathon gives you the chance to use NASA’s open data to address the most pressing challenges in Earth and space exploration. Discovery awaits at the NASA #SpaceApps Challenge 🚀

OrganiseXR might be fun to build for the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses. Pop these on in the morning and see how your day looks while you brush your teeth and make breakfast in the morning.. Phone screens are becoming less important. #Meta #Raybandisplay #OrganiseXR #innovation

We went from 0 to 2,200 paying customers in under a year by following @ycombinator's 15 rules: 1/ Do things that don't scale. Get your first 10 customers by hand. 2/ Launch now, not when it's "ready". A mediocre product in front of real users teaches you more in a week than 6 months of polishing in the dark. 3/ Charge from day one. If nobody will pay, you don't have a startup, you have a hobby. 4/ Talk to users every single day. The roadmap you need is sitting in your customers' heads, and they'll hand it to you for free 5/ Always hunt the 90/10 solution. For almost any feature there's a way to capture 90% of the value with 10% of the effort. 6/ There are only two real jobs: write code and talk to users. Everything else (conferences, press, VC coffees, corp dev calls) is fake work. 7/ You pick your customers as much as they pick you. 10 users who love you beat 1,000 who kind of like you. 8/ Growth is an output, not a strategy. Grow before product market fit and all you're buying is churn. 9/ Do less, really well. Pick one or two metrics and judge every task against them. 10/ Know if you're default alive. Paul Graham's question: on current growth and current burn, do you reach profitability before the money runs out? 11/ Don't hire until it hurts. Headcount is not progress, it's burn. Every great startup was embarrassingly small for embarrassingly long. 12/ Momentum is the only real moat in year one. Ship something every week, even something tiny. 13/ Every great startup is badly broken at some point. The game isn't avoiding fires, it's how fast you put them out. Again. And again 14/ Ignore your competitors. Startups die of suicide, not murder. In year one, the only company that can kill yours is your own 15/ Startups rarely die from running out of money. They die because the founders fall out. Brutal honesty with your cofounder is the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy Good luck !

Hi @SpaceApps. Could we get an update on NASA Space Apps Challenge 2026 please? If it is not running this year, then can this also be officially shared publicly? Many Thanks #SpaceApps #SpaceAppChallenge #Hackathon

TIL there is a Badminton workout on Apple Watch. #Badminton

@satyanadella Hoping for an update on Volumetric Apps announced during Build 2024 🙏

A sneak peek at tomorrow's keynote... Tune in here at 9:30am PT: x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@pavandavuluri @itsmichaelwest I really hope it’s Volumetric Apps that they announced a couple of Builds ago then went silent on.

Something new is coming for developers. And no, it’s not a new OS version 😅. See you at Build next week!

Nature Hunt AI app worked well at Center Parcs this week. Got the kids competing with each other trying to find as many different species of plant, animal, and insect as possible! #nature #naturehunt #centerparcs

@VoodooDE_Gaming The price causes division. People who can afford it, will always buy which will annoy regular folk. Annoyingly, pricing high also has the effect of making it an enterprise device, not a price for the general public.

Snap Specs AR glasses reportedly launching this fall for ~$2500. These standalone AR glasses run Snap OS. What are your thoughts on this price point? #SnapAR #ARtech

@xuwu Let’s hope it supports OpenXR

Tried a VR/MR headset today that’s expected to launch later this year, and it exceeded my expectations. Some of the things people in the industry have been imagining are already realized in this device, including weight and performance. I used it for a lot of different things, and you can really feel the years of work and iteration behind it. Can’t say much yet because of the NDA, but I’m sure many people can probably guess what it is. The second half of this year is going to be very interesting.

This is the the quote I've been citing a lot recently.

@VRSportz @andrewchen Thanks. I would like to know how he built it as I want to build something similar at PoolXR.com (yes I know there are other XR pool games)

@LeeEnglestone @andrewchen It's me playing. This guy is the dev @bowlliards72?si=cKp_GllxPEhJmfja" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@bowlliards72?…

what’s the latest on using AI to create VR apps and environments? Seems like it would defeat a huge barrier - the scarcity and cost of content I don’t mean building AAA VR games, but even high quality VR utilities/app and basic 3D experiences

@JamieMoranUK I put down Arc Raiders a few weeks ago. I’m very tempted by Crimson Desert

I talked about Crimson Desert in 2019 because it looked amazing, not just graphics but gameplay and world. So I finally started it, and I’m beyond impressed. Many mechanics, tons to do, this may also be one of the most stunning games ever. From XboxSeriesX
