@flatcoiner
man of many ideas. trying to write some down.
new app is live!!! will attempt to grow this to $5k/month by end of year :) using @postbridge_ i’ll also be using it with my fiancée and she already sent me a cute love note doodle that’s on my home screen 🥰
one reason why the wife and i spent so much time preparing a birth plan is that after she got pregnant, we wanted to avoid the first trimester nausea, so we started researching and reading the literature turns out first trimester nausea is driven by hormones the placenta produces (mainly GDF15 and hCG), but what makes it worse for most women is blood sugar instability. pregnancy lowers maternal fasting glucose, so if the stomach gets empty overnight or in the morning, nausea gets significantly worse which means eating crackers or cookies in the morning doesn’t help, you’re spiking and crashing blood sugar when you need stability what the research shows is that protein reduce nausea better than carbs. what worked for us was a protein and fat rich meal before bed (to sustain blood sugar overnight), then good carbs and fats as soon as she wakes up before the crash hits it may have been luck, but it helped a lot and the wife almost never suffered from first trimester nausea when we went to the gynecologist and asked about nausea prevention, she said “it’s normal, you just have to deal with it”, and that’s how we realized we had to do most on our own
This might actually get Pam fired lmfao
Poke is inevitable 🌴 there’s 100 reasons @interaction might lose as a company, from getting banned by messaging platforms to getting sued for price discrimination but Poke as a product is inevitable: > a single-threaded ai w all context in one place – simple and just like you talk to other humans > constantly running inference on live context like email/calendar > proactively offering you help, from checking you into flights to updating calendar invites, linear issues, notion docs, and responding to emails > right in your existing, familiar interface, with a high degree of spatial awareness (which platform did the msg come from, what time/location) > talking like your human friends instead of a sycophantic version of C-3PO > knowing you frighteningly well: → what you’re working on w which deadlines, and what are jobs and studies you’ve prev pursued → how you slept every morning (via whoop/oura) and what music you listen to (via spotify) → what you tweet and post on socials → which newsletters you read and creators/topics you follow → who your family, friends, and coworkers are → … becomes painfully obvious once you’ve tried it for a week. no normie wants to go into an app where they start from a blank conversation every time for everyday requests. no one wants a three-page em-dash-filled report about the history of the US dollar when just asking for a conversion rate. and rec’s for restaurants, purchases, things to do will be so much better from someone who knows what else you like from email receipts and travel itineraries i don’t know yet if we’ll be the ones winning this market, or if apple/google at some point ban us and copy our ux. but i’m betting everything on this becoming the biggest consumer product of our time. build the future and join us in palo alto: interaction.co/jobs
