After months of 🩸 blood, 😅 sweat, 😭 tears I FINALLY launched the iOS version of BodyBuddy the App Store to help people lose weight and get in shape. If you want to go on a weight loss or fitness journey this New Years I really believe this will be the unlock you need to stay consistent. apps.apple.com/us/app/bodybud…

"down 3kg" and "perfect product". this feedback makes my day for sure.

asked some users what we should change about BodyBuddy. here's what they said:

@timopowerz I really don’t understand why they don’t just add rate limits or something to the api key. It’s like giving me the thing and then blaming me for using the thing they gave me

@franjohn21 yeah meta's insanely aggressive on any automation that touches account settings. even zapier integrations can trigger flags now.

if you use Claude Code to manage Fb ads, i have bad news for you - YOUR ACCOUNT WILL LIKELY GET BANNED. --- last week i OpenClaw create a few ads for me, logged into review them and acct was insta-banned. i contacted support, they unofficially recommended i create a new acct, i tried that and the device / video selfie is fingerprinted so THEY BANNED THE NEW ACCT AS WELL. i had to pull every string i could to get my acct back, took over a week to resolve. most people will NOT get their acct back. meta is apparently aggressively cracking down on this. presumably manus is the only way you should be using ai to manage your ads. will also be sure to NOT run ads from a personal acct i think that limits the potential blast radius if they ban you.

Okay let's see who can reply to this

@MrVisma @Meta ran into this, was because i used AI to create a few ads. Bizarre because it was just using my API token, so why not just rate limit my api token or remove the ability to create ads with it if its an issue

I have spent over $20m on @Meta ads. Had my profile since 2013. Never had any ads rejected. Never used my profile for anything but ads manager. Then wake up permanently banned with no email, no appeal, no reason. I need help getting my profile back.

accountability with ai is going to change a LOT of people's lives for the better. we have magical technology that can convince people to eat healthier, move more, quit vices, achieve their goals, and self actualize.

I can't live with any other reminder app after trying Poke

@martoshiai @gregisenberg i literally ran into this. fb account banned from ad copy openclaw created. any tips for moving past this? seems incredibly difficult to recover

@gregisenberg 100+ FB ads in 30 mins with Claude Code sounds fun until the first policy rejection loop eats your afternoon. ask me how i know.

how to use claude code to launch 100+ fb ads in 30 mins

@gregisenberg be careful with this. i literally just had my facebook account banned because of ad copy that openclaw created. extremely frustrating

@masony334 @elliott__potter will send the your way 🫡

@franjohn21 @elliott__potter Happy to talk to that friend @franjohn21 calendly.com/mason-linqapp/…

We’ve raised $27M for this moment: starting today, your agent gets an iPhone and can talk like a friend. Texting is the universal interface. Billions of people text every day, but until now, developers have been restricted from building on the most powerful channel to ever exist. Linq is a single API for iMessage, RCS, SMS, voice, and even FaceTime and Find My. Nothing for users to download. Nothing new to learn. We’re already powering @interaction, @pika_labs, @getlindy, @zocomputer, @joindimension, Tomo (and others we can’t name just yet) to bring this new ecosystem to life. Join them, and start building for free in our sandbox, linked below. Or comment and we’ll get you set up.

@_MaxBlade wdym by its disgusting?

If you are struggling to market your app. Remember that X is where you learn content creation and test / validate ideas. YT is where you WIN MASSIVE. On x the feedback loop is FAST, it would take you ten millions years on YT to get the learnings of a year on X. But 400 views on YT = SALES. 40,000 views on X = maybe a sale. TT also works, but its disgusting.

@Bencera “Ancestors” bro these ppl are still alive lol

I moved to SF a month ago. Something shifted immediately. These are sacred grounds. The energy of the people who built the internet, who built the infrastructure that lets one guy with no employees build a platform, a movement, you can feel it. I barely go out. Barely date. Don’t do conferences or investor dinners. I just sit in friends’ offices with engineers and build. It’s not networking. It’s something in the air. Thank you San Francisco. Thank you ancestors. We’re so back.

@CoachDanGo this is great! i recently launched a similar app.. the future of health coaching is bright apps.apple.com/us/app/bodybud…

For the past few months, I've been developing an AI nutrition coaching app for my clients and my audience. Yesterday, I took psyllium husk too close to my meal and got hit with waves of digestive pain. The app essentially told me what was happening and coached me through it, helping me fix it fast. I've been using this app for a year. It's helped me get my abs back, and it's just wild what this technology can do.

@pmarca its not wrong perse its just retarded

@pmarca guy who doesn't go to the gym concludes: "exercise causes more injuries"

My big conclusion from this week: Introspection causes emotional disorders.
