OnlyFans creator. 24 years old. British. $3.2M in one year.
HMRC wanted £1.1M (45% + National Insurance).
Her accountant said: "Just pay it. You're lucky to earn this much."
She DM'd me instead.
New setup:
→ UAE freezone company
→ Dubai residency
→ No personal income tax. Period.
Tax bill: £0
She kept every penny.
Her exact words: "I made more in tax savings than my parents made in their entire lives combined."
She still films in London sometimes. She just doesn't live there anymore.

@YotamBlu @sukh_saroy Goosenet seems interesting. Will give it a try

@sukh_saroy that's the exact energy goosenet started with.
why should athletes & coaches pay $50/month for analytics that should just exist?
nango doing this for integrations is what happens when someone gets tired of watching an entire industry charge rent for infrastructure.
English

SOMEONE OPEN SOURCED THE INTEGRATIONS LAYER EVERY SAAS COMPANY HAS BEEN PAYING $50,000 A YEAR TO RENT.
It's called Nango. And it just made the entire "unified API" industry look like a tax on developers.
700+ APIs. Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Notion, Gmail, GitHub, Stripe, Jira, Linear. Every OAuth flow, every token refresh, every rate limit, every retry. Handled.
The thing companies like Merge.dev charge $40K-$100K/year to manage? Sitting on GitHub. 7.4K stars. 726 forks. 6,418 commits. Already used in production by Replit, Ramp, and Mercor.
Here's what it actually does:
→ Managed OAuth for 700+ APIs out of the box
→ One proxy call to authenticate to any API
→ Write TypeScript integration functions, deploy to their runtime
→ AI builder generates the integration code from a natural language prompt
→ Built-in retries, rate limit handling, per-tenant isolation
→ Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, MCP, LangChain
→ Self-hostable for free
→ SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR compliant
The pitch that should make every founder uncomfortable:
You give it a description like "sync GitHub issues to my database every 5 minutes." It writes the TypeScript. You read it. You edit it. You ship it.
It is not a black box. It is not a wrapper. It is readable code you own and version control.
Here's the wildest part:
The "unified API" startups raised hundreds of millions of dollars selling exactly this. Closed source. Per-API pricing. Per-customer pricing. Limits on calls. Limits on integrations.
Nango ships the same primitive under the Elastic License. Self-host the core for $0. Pay them only if you want their cloud and enterprise features.
189 releases. Latest one on May 15, 2026. Still shipping aggressively.
One honest note: the license is Elastic, not MIT. You can self-host and use it commercially, but you cannot resell it as a competing service. For 99% of teams building integrations into their product, that restriction does not matter.
Every B2B SaaS company in the world has a Jira-style "we connect to your tools" page. Most of them paid an "integration platform" half a million dollars to build it.
This repo is the thing those platforms are quietly running underneath.

@rxhit05 Cause @deepseek_ai isn’t as great even though they’ve been spending on marketing.

Next Stop : London 🇬🇧
This July, I'm joining @AnthropicAI as an AI Safety Fellow!
I genuinely can't think of a better place to obsess over something as important as AI safety.
New city, new role, people who give a damn about building AI right.

@nikitabier @levelsio @X You should have thought about those compliances when designing your products. EU is the only territory that actually cares about privacy and the like around the world.

Claude has genuinely transformed how I build. It doesn’t just generate code - it thinks like a senior engineer: clean architecture, smart trade-offs, and code that actually feels right when you read it back. I’ve shipped real production work with it - Python packages, custom tooling, multi-agent systems, and complex refactors — all dramatically faster and with fewer bugs than I ever managed before. The depth of reasoning + massive context window is unmatched.
Would love to connect with other builders who are actually using it in anger at CCCL on the 26th. Count me in! 🚀

Next CCCL event in London on May 26th. Reply why you like Claude and I'll see if I can get you in!

Some of you noticed limits drained faster in Codex, we root caused it to an optimization that we rolled back that had an impact on cache hit rates when compacting across long running sessions.
We fixed this and have now reset usage limits for all accounts. Enjoy the weekend.

CODEX LIMITS ARE FIXED!
