How I'm growing my IG account past 100k (instagram.com/mindofastoic) with a simple combination of @placidapp (image generation) @airtable (content) and @integromat (scheduling) Here's how it works 🧵

@HevyApp Love Hevy, but the trainer falls a bit flat for me. No workout history retention makes usage a bit tedious, it recommends dumbbell weights that I don't have access to, and progressive adjustments would be great in default mode similar to Macrofactor workouts.

Hevy Trainer is now live and available with Hevy Pro 🚀💙

@AliGrids Love this, is this custom drawn or pulling from a font?

i have a lot to say about these ads but holy fucking shit… this might be the most tasteful & brutal takedown of a category leader i’ve ever seen. & during the fucking super bowl? insane. usually these things almost always fall flat (see: slack “welcoming” microsoft teams with a fucking newspaper ad & how cringe that was), but this one lands dead center. even normies will clock the subtlety. the capturing of chatgpt’s drift in personality, tone, & vibes is absolutely unreal. almost surgical. normal ppl i know make fun of how chatgpt talks. imo openai made themselves vulnerable here by simply trying to do so much (enterprise, codex, consumer, etc) & lacking a singular cohesive narrative other than they have 800m users. like even google is taking shots about openai being forced to run ads. anyway i’ll post more but this was an absolute master class (i have posted about how openai competitors should handle their ads play, & this is a great start). also i would not count anthropic out of the consumer race yet (they have a lot of room to grow & even potentially acquire small startups).

We owe our community some transparency about the business of SIP and our goals: Our primary objective for 2026 is to get acquired by either Atlassian or CapitalOne

@danilowoz 404, just a heads up.

For tho who are curious how it's built, you can check the code here: github.com/danilowoz/memo…

I’ve been organizing my favorite pictures, which led me to create a place to show them. More than just photos, they are memories that hold smells, tastes, and a lot of meaning for me: memories.danilowoz.com

@designertom Amazing. I was at a music startup around then and we were talking to him about some sort of partnership (I can't remember the details though).

Diddy said my design was “ass” in a stakeholder meeting years ago. To be fair, it was. But I’ll forever enjoy the schadenfreude of his downfall. Also: 50 Cent is my favorite level of dedicated pettiness: - Sole executive producer of the Diddy documentary - Found out Diddy didn’t pay his filmmographer so he bought all the juicy BTS footage - 50 touring (with a huge smile) to promote, knowing it gets played in all the prisons Designers complain about “toxic Twitter”. Soft. We’ll never have glorious beef like this. And if we did, I’d be in the front row.

I've been on a bit of a photo book hunt lately, and discovering Saul Leiter has been the best part. bryanmanio.com/blog/the-art-o…

@Jonnotie The fact that we both used BSBD is kind of funny considering how low key that album was. I just got it on vinyl!

@bryanmanio and with epic music taste 🤙🔥

Here's some screenshots from 2013 of an iOS app I was designing called "Things for Designers". I never launched it, but man do I miss this style. I played with the idea of having the menu push down the rest of the UI.

I feel like an absolute outlier compared to what the reviews say about these Sony XM6, but they are the most uncomfortable headphones I've ever used.

@jamesm Always* *But please read your contract and make sure you won't get crushed in the legal process of sharing work you're not able to publicly.

Share. your. work. Always.

Anyone else lean on the spacebar to control 90% of their tasks? bryanmanio.com/blog/all-hail-…

I'm going to miss some of these quirky MacOS app icons as everything gets more simplified. Seeing how people would break out of the container was always interesting, but it obviously doesn't scale too well on a system level.

@danielm0nt @CharlesPattson Damn, flashback.

@CharlesPattson This looks like a bad 2010 $2.99 Cydia theme

A 100x dev did this

These touch and drag interactions are also next level. #wwdc
