Akash 🇬🇧/🇮🇳

My first public outage (which got customers emailing me!!) Here's the conclusion of the story

@star_yutish Go work out

what do you do when this happens?

@ayushunleashed Can I use it?

Goal this week for PunchEdit- 1. Get 10 people other than me to use it and collect feedback. Pre-requisite: 1. Add observability, make backend production ready. 2. Add schedule call for B2B clients. 3. Simple workflow to get beta access. 4. Add analytics on landing page.

Fable helped me build my dream app. A website that tracks active UK sponsors and their jobs via public job boards 🇬🇧 Try it out - sponsoredjobs.uk/jobs

@rudrank Make sure you aren't accidentally doxxing your address by sharing this 😅

I am trying to understand the geography of London better, so I asked ChatGPT to create an analogy with Delhi

𝐔𝐊 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐚 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 - 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝟑-𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞 𝟔 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬. Rejected on formatting alone. Before an assessor reads a word. Here's the trap 👇 The Official Guide says each piece of evidence can be "up to 3 sides of A4 paper." Sounds simple. So you get creative. Press feature + two conference photos + product dashboard, arranged side by side on two pages. Looks clean. Fits within three pages visually. 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐞. Two-page document with four images = six-page document. Rejected. The Guide also warns: "evidence that is excessively compressed or reduced in size in order to fit into the 3 page limit is not acceptable." Shrinking to fit hits the same wall. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬: → One image per page, full size, with context → Four images worth showing = four pages, so pick the two strongest → Press coverage: one clear screenshot of the article, not a collage of headlines → Conference speaking: one photo of you on stage, not a grid → Product: one dashboard view that tells the story Plan for one image per page and you won't get caught by the collage trap.

@glebedel @NotionHQ I've always been using Obsidian backed by Dropbox

If you weren't using @NotionHQ today for knowledge base/note taking etc. What would you be using?

@jasonrodrigues @arihantbansal Where are you now? In SF?

Every so now and then you meet someone that blows you away on sheer quality of feedback on your product For Cesto, that was @arihantbansal today Day 3 of serendipity continues

@Granite0x I just open-sourced mine too, do you have one for inspo? x.com/thewritingdev/…

He leads engineering on Gemini at Google. instead of keeping his Claude setup private, he open-sourced it. Addy Osmani. That Google: Chrome DevTools lead, "Learning JavaScript Design Patterns" author. 'agent-skills' - his personal loadout. Drop-in for any project. 68,925 stars. MIT. → github.com/addyosmani/age… bookmark it. This is how your Claude setup goes pro.

I open-sourced my private Claude Code setup, which has completely revolutionised the way I write code, and do cold-outreach 🔥 I have broken it down into five skills you can steal: 🛠️ AGENTS.md — Enforces a structured functional plan.md file along with enforcing stacked commits with TDD. Without this, agents wing it and lie about testing. 🎯 /ticket — An autonomous ticket-delivery agent. This was a complete game-changer for me. It fetches a ticket from your issue-tracker (eg, GitHub or Jira), fetches all context, explores your codebase, writes a TDD plan, and executes it one commit at a time. Your job is to review the final diff. 💬 /discuss — This agent helps you specify and drill-down on the exact features and design decisions you need to achieve a goal, and writes it down to a file. This catches ambiguity early instead of reviewing code that solved the wrong problem. 💰 /side-compact — Want to code using an expensive model (ahem ahem ... Fable) and summarise using a cheaper one like Sonnet ... without losing context on the original conversation? This hands the summarisation to Sonnet, writes the summary, and starts a fresh session seeded from it. The savings add up fast. 🔍 Cold Outreach Skills — 7 skills for client acquisition based on the blog of a million-dollar agency. Keyword search across X/LinkedIn/Telegram, cold DMs that get replies, follow-up sequences, content selling, profile optimisation, prospecting lists, and discovery call frameworks. Built for solo consultants and freelancers. Works with @ClaudeCode, @cursor_ai, Codex CLI, and @antigravity. npx skills add akash-joshi/agent-skills The most important thing is that your agent skills should work for YOU. Fork it, rip out what doesn't fit 🚀

Opus 4.7 is atrociously slow today. Which model should I switch to?

@PrajwalTomar_ This is so cool. Although unbelievably grateful that all of this can be done so much faster and easier when you know how to write code.

I still don't think people understand what just happened with Lovable. I built a FULL AI brand asset studio that generates your ENTIRE brand kit from one short brief. → Enter brand name and tagline → Describe your brand in one sentence → Pick your colors → Get app icons, Instagram posts, product mockups The whole thing. In UNDER 5 mins. And that's just ONE connector. Connectors are the real unlock. You can wire anything into your app and ship features that used to take weeks. I use them almost daily now. Client work, agency automation, side projects. Full breakdown of my 2026 system below. Bookmark this.

@benln LFG!

Rebooting my X group chat for people building projects on Sundays. One rule: you can only post on Sundays. Reply if you want in.

@rudrank @SwapnanilDhol Good shout! Will participate in the hack too

My first app is Outslept for sleep score competition I tweeted about this a few months ago, to use the data from Health + create my score algorithm so me and @SwapnanilDhol can fix our sleep

Not just Addy, all of us should make our Claude setups public! Here's mine for reference - github.com/akash-joshi/ag… Includes skills that: - Deliver tickets end-to-end - Enforces TDD on every commit - Discusses design-decisions via AskUserQuestion tool

@talhaasiiif This is amazing bro and I feel the same. Where's my shout-out 😛

@elroychibex thanks bruh. all comes from my knowledge

@thewritingdev this is so detailed 👍

If you're a designer looking at the new GTV route, here's what to actually focus on: 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Most people get their manager to write "she's great at design." That tells assessors nothing. Your referees need to explain WHY your work is innovative to someone who doesn't know what Figma is. Specific technical detail about what you built, what problem it solved, and why it matters. 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 > 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐨 A beautiful Dribbble won't get you endorsed. Figma resources other designers actually use, workshops you've run, mentoring programmes, open-source design systems. Assessors want to see you advancing the discipline beyond your own projects. 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞, 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐝𝐮𝐦𝐩 The biggest mistake is submitting every piece of evidence you have. 3-4 strong pieces that tell a coherent story will outperform 10 scattered ones every time. Each piece should be a self-contained chapter with context, what you did, and measurable impact. 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 Assessors don't click links. If your Behance project has 50k views, screenshot the analytics page. If your design system is used by 200 developers, screenshot the adoption metrics. Broken links and "please visit my website" are evidence killers. 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 "𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐔𝐊" 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 "London is a global design hub" is not a UK value proposition. Name the specific challenges you'll address - accessibility compliance, NHS digital transformation, regional tech ecosystems outside London. Show you've actually researched where and how you'd contribute. lmk if you have any questions, I've helped a few designers through this process

@shivsakhuja I'm sorry you gotta fix this for headless agents ~$ npx gooseworks login → Opening browser for Google sign-in...

Today we're launching Goose Ads in Claude. This is a skill /goose-ads that lets anyone make high-performing ad creatives directly in Claude, Claude Code, Cowork, or Codex. Here's how it works: 1. Install the skill: npx gooseworks install --all 2. Run this prompt: /goose-ads create ads for my brand 3. (Optional) Pick templates you like on the platform The skill finds top-performing ads that companies are already spending $ on and generates creatives for your brand. It also ensures that generated creatives are accurate to your brand's messaging, logo, assets, etc. It's that easy. But this is just the start. We have created a library with 100+ open-source skills for growth that some of the fastest growing startups in the world are using every day to run ads, content, competitor research, gtm, seo and more. Comment Goose and I'll DM you the full open-source skill library.
