I’m starting to get into a habit of reading everything (blogs, articles, book chapters,…) with LLMs. Usually pass 1 is manual, then pass 2 “explain/summarize”, pass 3 Q&A. I usually end up with a better/deeper understanding than if I moved on. Growing to among top use cases. On the flip side, if you’re a writer trying to explain/communicate something, we may increasingly see less of a mindset of “I’m writing this for another human” and more “I’m writing this for an LLM”. Because once an LLM “gets it”, it can then target, personalize and serve the idea to its user.


WILFUTW (what i learned from users this week) -"what's one thing you do everyday?" is a great question to kickstart some ideas for building great mini apps. Running, meditating, cooking for kids, finding a great spot to eat, etc... All can now be appified, personalized, and made slightly more delightful in minutes -wabi is the opposite of doomscrolling. it's creative and participatory. “kneejerk creation" where you can create just for the fun of it -wabi changes the definition of creator from "developer" to "literally anyone with an idea” -personalization of apps is the killer app -there's a spark of excitement when you see someone's wabi profile and the apps they've published. it’s like an inside peek somehow. -context effects are the new network effects… -adding search and improving discovery is key to improve experience (adding asap) -we’re at the FSD moment for apps -UGC → UGS (user generated software) -it’s faster to build an app on wabi than search for it on appstore -"wabi is for weird little ideas that make you happy but aren't necessarily meant to be sustainable businesses”

You may not realize it but this is a major shift for distribution of apps from apple So Apple is launching something called the Mini Apps Partner Program that sounds super boring but its kinda nutty Right now if you build an app you gotta get people to find it in the App Store, download it, another icon on their phone. Three huge barriers. With this your app just lives inside another app that already has users. No download. They click and use it. And you get 85% instead of 70%. WeChat has been doing this forever in China - millions of these mini apps This is big… Distribution just got like 10x easier. You dont need to crack the App Store or spend a ton on ads. You literally just need one partnership with an app that already has traffic. Think of the creator economy opportunity Think about like a fitness app partnering with actual fitness coaches. Each coach builds their own meal plan mini-app that lives inside the main fitness app. Users can follow their specific coachs plan right there. The coach gets instant access to thousands of users, the app gets way more variety without having to build everything. Or education apps partnering with course creators. Each creator has their own mini-course in the app. Students can access different teachers all in one place. Finance apps could partner with advisors who each have their own tools. Business apps with consultants who have their own frameworks and templates. Like this is basically the creator economy meeting distribution. Creators have the expertise and maybe audiences but zero distribution. Apps have the users and tech but need more content and variety. Just connect them. When Apple gives up margin somethings happening. They saw WeChat and knew this was coming eventually. Apps are becoming platforms. You either build the tools that live inside existing apps or you own the app that becomes the platform.
