My biggest vibe enemy is “good enough”. It’s tempting to let it be, but I have to remind myself that clanker doesn’t have feelings and doesn’t get tired so I can keep pushing it past good enough to perfect.

The term “vibe coding” was coined only last year. Kinda insane how it feels like a decade ago 🤯

If you’re not using Claude Design, you’re missing all of the benefits of LLM designs. It’s by far the best tool out there. Even custom design skills don’t come close.

If you are, ask for 3-5 variations of every screen. Pick 1 from those, and ask for 3 variations of that one.

Another tip: ask for motion design, load and scroll motion, reveals, interactions, on hover interactions that are not generic. Ask it to avoid excessive text, no uppercase text, no serifs unless an article or something.

Do this and you’ll get designs that beat out 99% of top designs in the world.

I've redesigned 80% of the Farbound app. It's going to be nuts! After the content redesign is done I'm going to put a lot more work into the experiences. If people don't get a "WOW!" from an experience, i'm cutting it and replacing with something more amazing.

Something is slowly working... gonna crank up the quality and frequency of these videos!

A couple with kids 😔 😢 RIP.

Two things make me want to quit nostr forever:

1. WORD5
2. WORD5

The new web and iOS experiences are going to blow your socks off.

I’m beyond excited for them!!

The new Farbound home page is up!!! Probably still has some issues on mobile. The rest of the website is coming along still. Just shipping as I get stuff in!

You’ve never seen anything like it.

So pumped!

Man… TikTok is all slop with millions of views. What does it say about humans? It’s not even good slop 😔

I think the key to short format videos is making sure the visuals change fast and you get a constant stream of super interesting condensed information. If visuals slow, people swipe away. Just a guess at this point.

Localized Farbound to 7 languages which may seem small but it’s a lot of work for this huge app.

Opus 5.5 is an absolute beast at everything. If I had to keep one model forever it would be this one. Nothing it can’t handle seemingly.

Another idea I had - epic space music :) get the listeners as well :)

To make shorts, I told opus to study what Mr. Beast does 😂

I’ve noticed on YouTube shorts get way more views than videos

One of my shorts got 1.7k views already just shortly after publishing! I think I’ve found my marketing channel :)

Is nostr still the GM protocol?

So far I haven’t even bothered putting my apps up in European App Store… not sure that I will.

So much of the software infra today is unprepared for agentic development. App stores are the worst. I mean, all the UI and processes are designed for single app development and updates. Very few are even considering bulk app management, rollout and maintenance. It's a bid strange, considering a person can now ship 10-20 apps in no time.

Working on marketing for my apps. Using Claude to make shorts and videos. Without marketing, it may as well not exist.

Do we need more vlogs or what? What can one talk about that wouldn’t be boring? Or does it always need to be a conversation with others?

With opus 5.5 being half decent at video editing now, I might finally be able to do something with video 🤔

Anyone got any ancient grains??

2nd one it made...

I had Claude make some motion animations for me. I think they are kind of funny.. here's the first one:

I see people happy with AI bots but I still can’t get mine to be useful. My baseline for a good bot is to see if it can act as my SEO agency form start to finish and so far every single bot has failed. No matter what type of workflow I set up for them or ask them to set up for themselves, they always get lost and stop working. Or they’ll stop and keep asking for permissions when I explicitly told them they have full autonomy. Or they ignore my directives for quality checks or just stop and don’t do anything at all and then say “you’re right, I stopped” 😂

So… waiting for the day when they actually work autonomously without constant babysitting and corrections.
