Workout you brain everyday on @zappchess zappchess.onelink.me/0Efa/cvh9hwy8

@deedydas Impressive! The 'used to play chess' part resonates - we've been building around this idea with Zapp Chess, trying to make the game more playable for people who drifted away. Curious if we can get you hooked. Resisting sharing the link so this doesn't become a promotion.

I just "vibecoded" a Chess master (~2250 ELO) from scratch that runs locally on a Mac in Rust. I used to play chess semi-competitively, and I'm flabbergasted that you can just speak a 98% percentile chess engine into existence.

AI caused a radical shift in our way of working. Penned down some reflections, let me know what you think - medium.com/p/653f6fe26830

Requesting the folks at Shopify to please step in and help figure things out. We too have received the trademark notice. And the deadline to fix it is 6 days away. Otherwise, our app will be delisted from the Shopify app store. Just like that. After 5 years of being on the app store and complying with every request or warning or mildly threatening email about fixing something "or else". Quite a violent way to communicate, I feel. Like this is the best a multi billion corporation can do? It does not make any sense @harleyf @ShopifyDevs since the app store is full of apps with "Facebook" and "Instagram" in their app titles and descriptions. Meta is forcing "WhatsApp" named apps to remove the word because they have launched their own WhatsApp app for Shopify. When a big guy flexes, we small people don't have any way out. Except if another big guy ( looking at you @Shopify @tobi ) is there to stand-up and meditate and come up with a more peaceful and decent way to go about it.

I thought only builders have such insights😅 . Great report @IndiaQuotient P.S. - 🙏 for the mention

📢 I am actively looking for C2C marketplace (aka ebay of India) Yes, olx/Quicker etc are there but noone use them. It's time to imagine it fresh, India is ready for ebay now. Reasons: - Biggest one, economy is rising, seller side supply is available who want to give away stuff at a cheaper price - More people want branded and quality stuff - Logistics and Payment is solved - People are comfortable (trust) transacting via online platforms. Founder friends please circulate among your network of builders 🙏 @IndiaQuotient

@vaidikkapoor Our debates helped me solidify my thoughts on this, thank you!

@akshat54 taught me the better way. And the best builders build this way. Give it a read!

Hard to imagine the rational behind this🤔

Player A wins in poker most says. But some days he loses. He generally ends up with net wins each month. If he pays 28% GST for every buy-in, he will "net" lose, and just stop playing. Folks at the GST council - please must play more online games (Poker, Rummy, Ludo, ...).

@malpani How? Can you tell more please?

@akshat54 I guess that depends on your churn rate though, doesn't it ?

The problem with entrepreneurs is they only listen to active and retained users who confirm their point of view. Instead , please listen to those who “churned” (left your platform or product). You will learn a lot more from them

@malpani Never mind the joke, it was a poor attempt. On a serious note, there is significantly more value in talking to retained users in my experience. Double down on what's working. Churned users also tell you something. But insights from retained users far more important.

@akshat54 You will need to explain the joke to me 🤔

@cacofnix and team never ceases to inspire🙏
