France doesn’t have an innovation problem. It has a “everyone got used to broken systems” problem. I’m 17, and I just had to generate 950,000 route points because the official Aix-en-Provence bus data was so imprecise that vehicles in my app could literally drive through buildings. So I compared every official route PDF with the real map, corrected the points manually for hours, then built a program to densify the entire network down to one point every two metres. I’m starting to wonder how many systems stay mediocre simply because everyone eventually stops questioning them. What broken system have people around you completely accepted?

asking a 17-year-old to choose their entire career path while making them ask for permission to use the restroom is wild. high school pressures you to figure out the next 40 years of your life before you even get to test how the real world operates.

spent 3 weeks 3D printing shells, soldering wiring, and coding 15 prototypes for a screenless AI voice recorder. then a $2 hardware component snapped during final assembly, and I completely lost momentum to fix it. sprinting at 1,000% speed when hype peaks is easy. managing friction when unglamorous things break is the actual bottleneck of shipping products. do you struggle more with starting projects or staying with them when the friction hits?

@ktnr23 goated

hi, I’m Katya and I create app icons mascot icons logo icons just plain icons

@heysatya_ What’s the app about

Design so goated that we got our copycat before we even launched. Left is OG -> Right is Copy

@ChrisGPT so fake lol

Claude state of the art gaming outputs! 1 year ago vs today

I think I just accidentally came up with the ultimate acquisition hack for my app. Standard ads for local products are completely dead. Nobody pays attention to sponsored posts or banners anymore. So instead of spending cash on Meta ads, I'm building a 3D bus simulator set directly in Aix-en-Provence. It runs in the browser-zero download, zero friction. You just hop in and drive a bus through 1:1 mapped streets of the city. The trick? Every billboard, bus stop, and ad space inside the virtual city promotes AixBusLive. Gamify the experience, give people something fun to play with, and funnel them straight to the app.

Starting projects is easy when curiosity peaks. Staying with them when unglamorous friction hits is the real bottleneck. Over the last three years, my biggest lesson hasn't been about writing cleaner code or negotiating better deals—it's been learning to turn short bursts of intensity into long-term discipline.

I made $10,000 in high school by buying broken gaming PCs on Facebook Marketplace and flipping them during history class. what was your first real hustle?

@SuperAppIOS I shipped it and got users, now working on a V2, go check the other posts..

Advise: just ship it, and go get users.

3 hours on a train with terrible Wi-Fi is actually the ultimate focus mode. Zero notifications, no distractions, just a laptop and AixBusLive V2 bugs to fix before launch.

@maasseveen @chhddavid fucking true

@chhddavid Whenever there’s a new update or model, those rats are out with fake videos and promoting their business

BREAKING: Claude Opus 5 one-shots motion videos Generated this video in 19 minutes, only did 2 changes.

@cy_burns @chhddavid spending so much time in after effect for a lie like this 💀

@chhddavid I hate this trend man. Like why are we lying just for a couple of views

@0xxmemo @chhddavid spending so much time in after effect for a lie like this 💀

Imagine spending 4 hours sweating in After Effects, manually tweaking keyframes, exporting at 60fps, just to post the video on X and lie that an AI model generated it in 19 minutes. The level of dedication to run an entire 1-man animation studio just to farm 300 retweets for a dead newsletter is actually impressive.

@AmenaiSabuwala any advice for mine v

Are you an app founder? Let’s design your app, DM me!

@thetimgabe @designbyzipzap Just beautiful !

appstore + home page for crypto card iOS app

Cities don't have tech problems. They have a "nobody gets fired for buying terrible software" problem. Millions spent on official transport apps just for them to look like 2010 PDFs. If local governments won't fix basic infrastructure, builders will just crowdsource it for free.

@chhddavid He can create video ?

@adamlyttleapps I don't know, but why release a second model that would put shade on the first one?

I’m confused by Anthropic’s new models So Opus is just as good as Fable? Then why Fable? What’s the point Why is there 2 frontier models at the same time? What one should I be using?

I built a Python script that generated Instagram content, drove traffic to a Shopify store, and delivered digital products automatically. At its peak, it made around $200/day while I was taking high school exams. The point wasn't just the store—it was building a system that operated with zero manual intervention. I used AI to generate content formats, automated the posting workflow, and linked it straight to Shopify's fulfillment trigger. It taught me an early lesson on leverage: distribution is hard, but automated distribution attached to a real delivery mechanism changes the scale of what one person can run.
