The video is admittedly pure polemic. But given the EU's "chat control" proposal, I am currently left with nothing but polemic. I am frustrated.

Tomorrow at 9:30am ET at Tel Aviv University, I'll lay out where I believe the US-Israel relationship must go from here. I didn't come to flatter anyone. I came because real friends tell each other hard truths — and tomorrow, I will. Stay tuned.

Final Clinton-Yeltsin phone call: "Just give all of Europe to Russia. US is not in Europe. Russia is half European and half Asian" "You want Asia too?" "Eventually"

So eine Debatte, an so einem Tag – das gibt es nur in Deutschland. Nirgendwo sonst auf der Welt.

I have 30+ apps, and for a long time I had no idea what users actually wanted from them until I did one simple thing. When I was building my very first app, I wanted a way to know what users actually wanted to see in it. So I built a simple feature request screen right inside the app. Just a place where users could drop ideas and I could see what to ship next. Then I started building more apps and some of them started getting traction. I quickly realised I needed the same screen in each of them. Partly for me, so I can see whether users are actually engaged and what they'd like me to add next. Partly for them, so they could see the app is alive and the dev actually cares about hearing them out. What I really wanted was a dumb simple plug-and-play thing. Paste 2 lines of code into the app and it just works. No complex setup, no time wasted on configuration, I just wanted the outcome fast. I also built a simple dashboard, a central place where I could see all my feature requests across apps in one place and decide what to build next. Now it helps me understand the users of the apps I'm trying to grow: what features they actually want, how many people are voting for each one, so I can decide whether it makes sense to ship it. Something is cooking. More next week 😄
