working on making deposits smoother over the past few days the app now knows whether you're on devnet or mainnet and shows the right UI accordingly, sounds small but it's one of those details that matters when you're dealing with real money vs test funds still trying to figure out the best way to handle the transition flow without confusing users :/

I dare you to mention a 10/10 non alcoholic drink

@heynavtoor would appreciate an example

🚨 Someone reverse-engineered the design systems of Apple, Spotify, Airbnb, and 30+ billion-dollar companies. Packed each one into a single file. Free. It's called Awesome Design MD. Drop one file into your project. Your AI agent builds UI that looks like Spotify. Or Apple. Or Airbnb. Instantly. Not screenshots. Not Figma links. A single DESIGN .md file that captures every color, font, spacing value, button style, and layout pattern from a real website. In a format AI agents read and reproduce. Here's the difference: Tell Claude Code "build me a landing page" and it gives you generic UI. Tell Claude Code "build me a landing page" with Spotify's DESIGN .md in your project and it gives you Spotify. Here's what's inside: → Apple. Premium white space, SF Pro typography, cinematic imagery. → Spotify. Vibrant green on dark, bold type, album-art-driven layout. → Airbnb. Warm coral accent, photography-driven, rounded UI. → Linear. Ultra-minimal, precise spacing, purple accent. → SpaceX. Stark black and white, full-bleed imagery, futuristic. → BMW. Dark premium surfaces, precise German engineering aesthetic. → NVIDIA. Green-black energy, technical power aesthetic. → Uber. Bold black and white, tight type, urban energy. → Sentry, PostHog, Raycast, Cursor, ElevenLabs, and 20+ more. Here's how to use it: → Pick a design system from the collection → Copy the DESIGN .md file into your project root → Tell your AI agent to use it → Get UI that matches the design language of a billion-dollar company That's it. One file. Your AI agent now has the design taste of a $200/hour design consultant. Designers charge $5,000+ for a custom design system. Companies spend $50,000+ building one from scratch. This is free. 31 design systems. Copy. Paste. Ship beautiful UI. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any AI coding agent that reads project files. 100% Open Source. MIT License.

How to grow your app from 0 to 100k users (PLAYBOOK): by the end, you'll know how to: - get your first 10 paying customers without a funnel - build organic growth that compounds monthly - know exactly when to spend money and when not to - turn your users into your best acquisition channel here's the full 7-stage roadmap: Stage 1 (0-10): find your niche and sell one person at a time the biggest mistake is building for "everyone" you don't need a market. you need 10 people who feel the pain so badly they'd pay you today how to find them: > pick one specific audience (who can potentially buy the solution) > go where they already complain: X, Reddit, Slack communities, Discord servers > read their exact words. the language they use to describe the pain = your marketing copy > DM 50 people. not pitching. just asking "what's the most frustrating part of [problem]?" your first 10 customers should feel like you read their mind with my own product, I went to a conference and just talked about the problem I was solving 5 people wanted to buy before I had anything to sell, 50 are ready to test (at 2x price from basic costs) metric to watch: conversion from conversation to "shut up and take my money" mistake to avoid: building features before talking to humans -------- Stage 2 (10-100): do things that don't scale forget funnels. forget ads. forget automation this stage is manual and it's supposed to be how to get to 100: > send 20-30 personalized DMs daily on X, Reddit, LinkedIn (not cold outreach!) > post daily in communities where your audience already lives > jump in free onboarding calls, watch how people use your product > when someone leaves, always ask why (it happens often lol) what this gives you: 1: real feedback that shapes your product into something people actually need 2: language and objections you'll use in marketing for the next 2 years 3: early advocates who tell their friends the first 100 users will teach you more than any analytics dashboard ever will don't scale until you've fixed everything these 100 people found broken metric to watch: how many users come back after week 1 mistake to avoid: automating too early and losing the human feedback loop -------- Stage 3 (100-500): fix retention before chasing growth this is where most apps die silently they keep acquiring users while losing them out the back door before you spend a single minute on growth, answer these: 1: what % of users are still active after 7 days? 30 days? 2: where exactly do people drop off in onboarding? 3: what does your "WOW moment" look like and how fast do users reach it? how to fix retention: > cut time to value. 10 steps to feel the product? make it 3 > one email sequence that gets users to their first win in 24hrs > remove features that confuse more than they help > talk to churned users. after 10 calls the pattern is obvious your target: get churn below 5% monthly before moving to stage 4 because growing with 15% churn is like filling a bucket with a hole in it metric to watch: monthly churn rate and day-1 retention mistake to avoid: adding features instead of fixing the experience -------- Stage 4 (500-1k): build your organic engine and referral system now you've got the right to scale two engines to build simultaneously: content engine: - pick 2 platforms max (X + LinkedIn, or YouTube + TikTok depending on your audience) - post 5x/week minimum. document your building process, share insights, show results - every post should teach one thing or prove one result - repurpose: one idea = 1 long post + 3 short posts + 1 thread across platforms referral engine: - trigger "invite a friend" right when users feel the most value - reward both sides: extended trial, premium feature, or credit - make sharing one click with a pre-written message - track top referrers and treat them like VIPs this is where growth starts compounding. content brings strangers. referrals bring warm leads. both are free metric to watch: viral coefficient (how many new users each existing user brings) mistake to avoid: spreading across 5 platforms and doing all of them poorly -------- Stage 5 (1k-10k): partnerships, affiliates, and first paid experiments organic alone hits a ceiling. now you layer partnerships: > find products with the same audience but no competition > propose co-marketing: joint webinars, shared newsletters, bundles > one right partnership can bring 500+ users overnight affiliates and BDs: > launch an affiliate program with 20-30% recurring commission > recruit creators who already talk to your audience > find 2-3 BDs to sell your product on commission base first paid channels: > only test ads when you know your CAC and LTV cold > start with retargeting (cheapest and highest intent) > test one cold channel: Meta for B2C, LinkedIn/Google for B2B > $500-1k/mo to test. scale only what's profitable in 30 days metric to watch: CAC to LTV ratio (aim for 1:3 minimum) mistake to avoid: spending on ads before your funnel converts organically -------- Stage 6 (10k-50k): scale what works, kill what doesn't at this stage you already know your channels. now it's about efficiency what to do: 1: double down on your top 2 channels. kill the rest 2: make your first growth hire 3: automate onboarding, emails, and referral tracking 4: build a community around the product: Discord, Slack, or Circle the community is your moat: > users help each other (reduces support costs) > feature requests come directly from power users > community members have 2-3x higher retention than non-members > it creates switching costs that competitors can't copy metric to watch: revenue per employee and growth rate month over month mistake to avoid: hiring too fast and burning cash before the model is proven -------- Stage 7 (50k-100k): brand, moat, and paid scale you're no longer just an app. you're a brand how to think about this stage: > brand is why someone picks you over 10 alternatives without comparing features > invest in design, storytelling, positioning, make the product feel inevitable > go bigger: conferences, podcasts, media, Product Hunt at scale paid acquisition at scale: - increase ad budget on proven channels - test new channels (influencer marketing, sponsorships, programmatic) - build lookalike audiences from your best customers - keep CAC under control as you scale, it will try to climb protect the moat: 1: deepen community engagement 2: build integrations and partnerships that make leaving painful 3: create content flywheel that compounds (SEO, YouTube library, newsletter archive) metric to watch: brand search volume and organic vs paid ratio mistake to avoid: letting paid acquisition become your only growth channel -------- CONCLUSION most apps die between 100 and 1,000 users because founders skip retention and jump straight to ads the truth is: the first 3 stages are ugly, manual, and slow but they build the foundation that makes stages 4-7 feel like gravity start narrow. fix retention. then scale Growth is a system, make it effective ♥️ P.S. since this day, I will start showing what I build in public to show you how I grow revenue in my apps make the products and do an immediate ship for less than 1 week and how you can repeat this system.

sorry guys been busy with life, i'm working on a few stuff on the side as i scroll on twitter getting inspiration for my next big project.

THE ANTHROPIC TEAM DOESN'T WRITE CODE ANYMORE. this guy's friend got hired at Anthropic 3 weeks ago. nobody on his team has hand written code in months. they run multiple agents in parallel and act more like managers than engineers. his friend said if you're just watching an agent code, you're already behind that idle time should be spent spinning up another agent and directing it somewhere else. the point is that the new method isn't "use AI to code faster." it's "you are the product manager, the agents are your engineers, and your job is to keep all of them running at all times"

@NorthTechy @MoneyFiHub @APTreeio @yarhuter @Cris7ran rwa-backed yield is definitely the direction - protocol emissions feel like musical chairs, someone always gets left holding the bag when incentives dry up real yield from actual assets is sustainable. the challenge is making it as easy to access as the degen stuff

@MoneyFiHub @APTreeio @yarhuter @Cris7ran Given the explosion in stablecoin popularity, do you think we are moving toward a Meta where yield is generated from real-world assets rather than just internal protocol emissions?

@BWInflection @marcarjoon @Matt_Hougan @marcryptonio @dlawant the kraken fed access is huge - breaks the narrative that crypto cant play in traditional finance stablecoin yield fight is basically banks vs math at this point. hard to argue with onchain transparency when bank rates are 0.01%

NEW POD: Kraken Gets Fed Access as Crypto Takes on the Banks We Cover: 🔹 Kraken Fed master account 🔹 Crypto–banking integration 🔹 Stablecoin yield fight 🔹 Crypto’s surprising resilience & more! @marcarjoon @Matt_Hougan @marcryptonio @dlawant Links Below ↓

@DefiCompass the hex address thing is so underrated as a blocker - watched someone try to send crypto to a friend once and they just gave up after copy-pasting the wrong address twice ENS proved the concept, but having it native to each ecosystem from day one is the play

One thing I watch in early ecosystems is identity infrastructure & simplicity Sending tokens to long wallet addresses is still terrible UX → simple names like axe.qf appearing on QF makes sense If the ecosystem grows, that kind of layer quietly becomes essential

@fadeone_x you should check out Claude marketing, it’s super useful.

@fadeone_x agreed - the tooling overhead kills momentum. half the time i spend more time setting up the update workflow than actually building just shipping and tweeting is honestly the simplest version

Building In Public must be simpler

@FitFinYoussef the gap between traditional banking and crypto is closing fast - when you can earn actual yield on dollars without the complexity, thats when mass adoption starts stablecoins + good ux = the real disruption

Stablecoin neobank thesis confirmed. Bullish

@AnneGoTM stablecoin growth + better defi ux are the real combo imo - once holding usdc feels as simple as a bank account, adoption stops being a question of "if" rwa is interesting but feels like it'll take longer to get right legally

What do you think will be the biggest crypto trend in 2026? My picks: • Real-world assets on-chain • AI + DeFi • Prediction markets • Better DeFi UX • Stablecoin growth Curious to hear other opinions.

Unpopular opinion: Crypto doesn't have an adoption problem. It has a UX problem. Fix the UX, adoption follows. Join the waitlist: nexusearn.app

Been heads down building for the past week. I really need to be more active with the posting side of stuff Back now but here's what's new: - Nexus earn (@nexusearn) is being trail and tested by beta users - minor improvements and ui changes to nexus earn - Working on something revolutionary, a new project. (more on that soon)

@SandyMasse7544 exactly - "what is an APY" is not even the first question. its "why is this taking 47 clicks and 3 different apps" people get yields, they get savings. they just cant figure out where to tap

Every DeFi cycle has its 'bring DeFi to everyone' moment — and it never really lands because the UX still assumes you know what an APY is. The actual barrier isn't access. It's that the product still asks too much of the user. x.com/StaniKulechov/…

@trust_ajo messy and raw is exactly right - twitter fintech is weirdly polished, tiktok feels more like actual humans explaining stuff following along, building something similar in the savings space

@tebogo5464 @jenna_original @StandardBankZA self custody is the answer honestly - stablecoins in a wallet you control means no bank can freeze your funds or "cover their backs" at your expense the ux is still catching up but thats where the real disruption is happening

@jenna_original @StandardBankZA All banks have systematic failures, and most are terrible in putting customers first when huge amounts are involved. They always cover their backs 1st, and everyone else comes later or never considered. The question is, what are alternatives that can humble banks?

CLOSE ALL BANK ACCOUNTS WITH @StandardBankZA They don't deserve your business! Scammers.

@RoundtableSpace @nexusearn

What are you currently building?

mainnet prep continues - just pushed env variable configs for production deployment and webhook monitoring for the vault contracts the "it works on my machine" stage is ending, real infrastructure time 🏗️ (nexus btw - simple savings that actually work)
