@mirandanover Congrats!!

Introducing Fort, a wearable that automatically tracks strength training. Strength training is one of the best things you can do for your health and longevity. It deserves better tools.

@davj @james406 @timgl @posthog @usereframe Thanks for having me @davj and @james406!!

Big shoutout to @james406 & @timgl for cohosting and @posthog for the space!! 🎙️🦔 Livestreamed from the HogPatch - loved having @bryanzin7 on to talk about @usereframe

@bradflora @ycombinator Can attest, we’ve heard this story at least twice in this batch alone

I tell this story about 5x a year to hard tech YC founders who need to hear that they can in fact get into business much earlier than they think. An all-timer!

Reframe is now live :) Hardware procurement has been stuck in the stone ages, until today. Use Reframe to automate end-to-end procurement and keep your hardware teams lean. Reach out for a demo at usereframe.ai/demo

Reframe (@usereframe) automates the hardware supply chain, starting with procurement. Upload your BOM, connect your ERP, and their system will handle sourcing, ordering, vendor coordination, delay resolution, and real-time build plans. Hardware procurement still runs on spreadsheets and emails, until today. Use Reframe to automate end-to-end procurement and keep your hardware teams lean. Congrats on the launch, @bryanzin7 and @EricWiener5! ycombinator.com/launches/PU7-r…

@Madisonkanna 👏👏 well said

since moving to SF this year, i keep running into this specific type of person whom i try to avoid whenever i can. the transactional type. you meet them and you can feel them instantly calculating where you sit in whatever hierarchy they track and what they can get from you. these people are exhausting to encounter because they're trying to extract, not build. they don't understand social capital or how to use it correctly and they aren't even aware of what they're doing. I love SF but it’s unfortunately crawling with these people. the longer i live here, the more i find myself staying away from big parties that are swarming with these transactional types and enjoying smaller gatherings, little pockets where i can just be with my friends who just want to laugh with me and work on cool stuff. i’m v grateful for all the amazing friends i’ve made here this year, the ones who are genuine and make living in SF actually feel amazing.

@advmsyed 📈📈📈

my design portfolio just crossed 20k views in a few months. no clue if that’s “average,” but it’s surreal watching people care about the stuff I make. i’ve gotten to build cool stuff with teams at twitch, tesla, cluely, mrbeast, meta, and linkedin. [thread]

Wrapped Day-1 at @corl_conf - our booth was buzzing all day, and this is why. ⬇️ Here’s a timelapse of Dynasaur folding continuously, shrugging off every interruption researchers threw at it. It’s thrilling to see the crowd erupt in applause after the robot nails a flawless fold Don't miss it! We're here all week - booth 28 #CoRL2025 #Robotics #AI

You forget how important building for assembly is…until your fingers can’t fit into the spaces between your parts 😭
