@simonecanciello I got you, checkout getmenuscan.app

i want an app that scans a menu and gives me the healthiest choice. menufit is doing $400k/month. they basically have 0 competitors. 268k+ weekly searches for “clean eating meals”. who’s building it?

hosted our fourth cowork with strangers sesh last week! so far meeting new people, seeing what they're up to, and sharing tidbits from our industry has been amazing. everyone here works in tech, either as career SWEs or technical founders 📍 only in NYC

What are some good to know hacks for marketing mobile apps?

Just published my article on three engineering principles every vibe coder should know! medium.com/p/three-engine…

@davidhdev at this point you wanna dust off useReducer 😬

If your React code doesn’t look like this you’re ngmi

@dan_tehrani @Medium I feel conviction is not talked about enough in the startup space! It's actively something I work on today as well.

@shaunchander @Medium So true > When you’re starting something, be sure about it. You should feel confident and secure about the business from the get-go as a founder.

I wrote my first article on @Medium It's about the company I started at 19, in college, and why it didn't work out in the end :( In it I detail mistakes and lessons learned as a first time founder. @shaunchander/why-my-first-company-failed-and-what-i-learned-as-a-young-founder-71da2e0672f2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@shaunchander/… Check it out if you're building or into startups

Our Thursday sesh went great! We had people in startups/early hires show up and jam on their projects and work! Some were locked in, others took calls, there was even a mini-demo and talk about AI I'm hosting again this Tuesday, are you in? lu.ma/6n0tcs02

if you're in NYC and want to social cowork, checkout pods.nyc

update, ppl showed up

cold brew + social co-working 👀

@TheAnatomyOfBiz Literally I think their only objective was an ego boost 🤷‍♂️

@shaunchander If they were there for networking they failed at least once during that event. They turned you off enough to not only not want to network with them but they likely failed to pull value from the interaction with you.

I go to a lot of networking events in the city and met probably the worst person ever, someone who just: - gloats about their achievements - tries to one up you in every conceivable way - doesn't offer value, just talks about and compares themselves to you don't be this guy 🙏

@nbbaier @mastra @calcsam it's able to read profiles of people from a data source and organize/pair them into groups based off their personalities (all inferred from within the agent)

@shaunchander @mastra @calcsam What's the agent do?

@mastra makes building agents scarily easily. Like I'm a frontend-leaning product engineer and I built my own tool calling agent over the weekend @calcsam's ebook on building AI agents is also very helpful. still don't know if I'd call myself an AI engineer just yet 😅

We just launched A/B for pods.nyc What did we A/B? You tell us 🤭

@davidhdev damn I don't wanna wait that long :( (I guess it's back to using @greensock)

@shaunchander Probably in 2026

where's the Svelte port of reactbits @davidhdev :(

@embersunn don't tell her about npx npm-check-updates ;)

Hi my name is ember sunn and I’m addicted to npm installing packages for problems I could solve in 3 lines

I hosted our first coworking sesh last Sunday in NYC! A bunch of us showed up at a rooftop coworking space and got to know each other more! If you're in the city and are down to cowork with strangers, hop on here: pods.nyc
