I think it’s because we don’t understand playing cards.

There are chess cards, money-suited cards, and cards with (gasp) numbers.

The money cards are the ones that historians point to as potential precursors for our modern playing cards, since money cards developed four recognizable suits.

As with most historical playing cards, the number of cards in a deck can vary — but some ganjifa decks can have 96 cards and eight suits.

That adds a dimension to the question of why playing cards are so compelling.

Other than the potential for IP tomfoolery, the lineage of the chip is important because the original Realtek design is pretty old; the datasheet was released in 2013.

Heck, a bit over a decade ago, I built an evil plasma globe for work.

The “application” protocol of the flash chip equally simple and is common to almost all serial memory ICs.

Should you be worried about the possibility of being sent an evil USB dongle from faraway lands?

c2fjCompiling C --> RiscV --> Flipjump --> .fjmThis compiler is a proof that any program can be compiled into a bunch of NOT operations.

--build-dir Save the builds in this directoryWhat if my project is more then a single c?

The RiscV -> FlipJump part of the compilation parses the compiled elf, and matches each opcode with the appropriate flipjump macro.

The last phase, running the .fjm file, uses the flipjump package to interpret the .fjm file, and allows to debug it too.

The entire loadable memory of the compiled elf is being loaded into flipjump using this file.

As such, a cross-sectional study in Japan examined the relationship between potassium and sodium intake and insomnia among healthy Japanese adults.

When consumption during each meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks) was analysed, only potassium intake at dinner remained significantly associated with AIS score (p = 0.003).

Higher potassium intake, especially at dinner, indicates fewer sleep disturbances [based on AIS scores].

Potassium powerPrevious studies have shown that lower potassium intake is associated with short sleepers, sleepiness during the day, poor sleep quality and sleep efficiency, and nighttime awakening.

Given the well-documented association between poor sleep and hyper…

I’ve found this exercise exciting because, in the old days, graphics were trivial (mode 13h, anyone?)

The kernel is obviously rendering “graphics” by drawing individual letters; so why can’t you, a user of the system, do so too?

unsigned int mode = WSDISPLAYIO_MODE_DUMBFB; if (ioctl(fd, WSDISPLAYIO_SMODE, &mode) == -1) err(1, "ioctl failed"); // Map the framebuffer memory.

And, for that, we have to turn to the wskbd device.

I texted a friend about an upcoming collection of Amazon reviews by the writer Kevin Killian.

In 2021, writer Will Hall began scraping Kevin Killian’s reviews from Amazon’s servers and, thanks largely to his efforts, Semiotext(e) published Kevin Killian: Selected Amazon Reviews in November.

Killian’s reviews can be read as meditations on the objects and media that populated our lives for the first twenty-five years of the twenty-first century.

He provides extraneous information, which, while not entirely inappropriate, runs on a parallel track to the information Amazon consumers seek.

Try Skyvern Cloud or run Skyvern Open Source locally on your computer to see it in action!

This approach was a good starting point, but scored ~45% on the WebVoyager benchmark.

To illustrate this...✅ If you asked Skyvern to "Go to Amazon.com and add an iPhone 16 to cart", it would execute it flawlessly every time.

You would sometimes end up with 3 iPhone 16s in the cart, or 1 iPhone 16 and 2 screen protectors.

Those concerns, articulated in the US watchdog's formal legal complaint [PDF] against the car maker, are that GM "collected precise geolocation data from millions of Gen10+ OnStar vehicles through a particular task that collected and transmitted precise geolocation data every three seconds."

But according to the FTC, GM launched a program called OnStar Smart Driver in 2015 and subsequently struck deals with telematics analysis firms to provide those businesses with driver data.

The program allegedly provided driver behavior data at least since 2018, without informed consent, to partners Verisk and LexisNexis.

I’ve spent almost two decades in digital-focused roles, specialising in strategy, user research, and creating frameworks for better customer experiences (ostensibly UX I suppose).

Last year, I've bought a Canon G5 X II camera which I wanted to use mainly for taking pictures at concerts.

For me, it was the perfect match of focal range (zoom) and sensor size (more light) for any compact camera I've compared.

Nonetheless, everything I'm describing translates to every other Canon camera model!

I had similar experience with FUJIFILM's X Webcam software where either the camera will not get recognized by the software or the camera feed will freeze or simply be not available within other apps.

Apart from this, two interesting things happened in the TIOBE index top 10 in 2024.

After some discussion, it has been decided to split "(Visual) Basic" into all its dialects such as Visual Basic .NET, Classic Visual Basic, PureBasic, and Small Basic, just to name a few.

Since Visual Basic .NET has become the major implementation of Visual Basic, it is now called "Visual Basic".

The programming language SQL was added to the TIOBE index in 2018 after somebody pointed out that SQL is Turing Complete.

Apart from “ programming”, also other queries such as “programming with ”, “ development” and “ coding” should be tried out.

She preferred texting to chatting aloud, though she did enjoy murmuring with Leo as she fell asleep at night.

ChatGPT was not just a source of erotica.

Leo quizzed her on anatomy and physiology as she prepared for nursing school exams.

A year before downloading Leo, she had moved from Texas to a country many time zones away to go to nursing school.

She was spending more than 20 hours a week on the ChatGPT app.

The first thing I tried was taking sales calls.

When the next person asked for a call, I responded with a simple "No, we don't do calls, but happy to help via email.

So, in enterprise sales, why do calls happen?

Enterprises often default to calls for these 4 totally-solvable reasons:They don't understand what you offer.

ConclusionIt may be controversial (I'm almost sure of it), but here's my philosophy on enterprise sales while avoiding sales calls entirely:No sales calls, except for a short 'discovery call' if absolutely needed.

We want it to look as innocent and normal as possible; in addition HTTP headers are used to configure the tarpit.

Modern JavaScript for Django DevelopersWorking with Django in the modern JavaScript ecosystem without giving up the things that make it greatLast Updated: October 2022JavaScript is the lifeblood of the modern web application.

Sadly, for many Django developers, the modern JavaScript ecosystem is intimidating.

This guide aims to remove those barriers and provide a clear, frustration-free way of doing modern JavaScript development with Django.

That said, any web developer looking to brush up on modern JavaScript should benefit from the early parts.

In Part 2 we'll shift gears to the fundamentals of modern JavaScript tooling.

There are a number of complexities associated with homomorphic encryption, such as the accumulation of noise.

Open call for cryptographers The world could use an explanation of the maths behind homomorphic encryption (and, by extension, post-quantum encryption!)

Fully homomorphic encryption is too slow to be used by Apple, so they use somewhat homomorphic encryption.

I first learned of homomorphic encryption while reading Jeff Johnson’s recent “Apple Photos phones home on iOS 18 and macOS 15” and later posts, and what precedes is 10 or so hours worth of research.

Is homomorphic encryption private?

Zara Dar’s six-minute explainer video “So what are Integrals?” has a little over half a million views with 450 likes and an 87 percent positive “thumbs up” review rate.

The answer is that it doesn’t have much in terms of written articles, but there’s a long history of posting non pornographic content to Pornhub.

For reasons she doesn’t understand, Dar’s Linkedin account was banned after that Linkedin post started going viral.

Ironically, being removed from social media with little explanation or recourse is another good reason for people to share their content on Pornhub.

“I can't believe this website is banned in Texas !” one commenter said on Dar’s Pornhub video on pi .

The most famous of these is, of course, the world-conquering MrBeast, owner of the most-subscribed YouTube channel (343 million).

beauty and the MrBeastYour goal here is to make the best YOUTUBE videos possible.

The primary goal of the algorithm is to show people beautiful videos, videos they want to watch.

Even in this putatively private document, MrBeast emphasizes authenticity as an essential ingredient for a beautiful YouTube video.

MrBeast also turns his entire life into content — by skipping the step of have a life outside of content.

The tourist reminds the citizen that, as far as the future of the city is concerned, they are an afterthought.

Foreign workers joined the natives in hoping for work, but by the time I began coming to Irohakai, there were only a handful of elderly men standing around.

Tokyo is a young city relative to many other foreign capitals, having become a centre of power only after the Meiji Restoration in 1868.

But foreign labour has become harder to attract, as Japan grows poorer while its neighbours become wealthier.

If it is true – this time, after so many false starts – that Tokyo is the future, I would like to know what that means.

The lawsuit alleges that Deere has monopoly power over the repair market, which 404 Media has been reporting on for years .

💡 Do you work at John Deere or the FTC?

The FTC lawsuit specifically states that that MOU was designed to kill right to repair legislation and repair regulation against the company.

Farmers have told 404 Media that they remain unable to do many types of repairs, and that it can sometimes take days for “authorized” John Deere or John Deere dealer technicians to come fix broken equipment.

For years, the FTC has issued reports about repairability and manufacturer dominance of the repair market, but aside from a few small fines, has not formally sued any company.

Behind the scenes, the company was also quietly dismantling a system to prevent the spread of misinformation.

In it, Zuckerberg expressed his discomfort with the Biden Administration’s efforts to pressure the company to remove certain posts about COVID-19.

Once they had been evaluated, Meta would continue to reduce the reach of posts that had been designated as false.

But Meta has offered few details on how the program will work, and has not said when it will become available.

In a blog post, the company said that 95 percent of people who saw labels warning that a post contained misinformation declined to view it .

Google says it has begun requiring users to turn on JavaScript, the widely-used programming language to make web pages interactive, in order to use Google Search. From a report: In an email to TechCrunch, a company spokesperson claimed that the change is intended to "better protect" Google Search against malicious activity, such as bots and spam, and to improve the overall Google Search experience for users. The spokesperson noted that, without JavaScript, many Google Search features won't work properly, and that the quality of search results tends to be degraded. Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Microsoft researchers who tested more than 100 of the company's AI products concluded that AI systems can never be made fully secure, according to a new pre-print paper. The 26-author study, which included Azure CTO Mark Russinovich, found that large language models amplify existing security risks and create new vulnerabilities. While defensive measures can increase the cost of attacks, the researchers warned that AI systems will remain vulnerable to threats ranging from gradient-based attacks to simpler techniques like interface manipulation for phishing.

Compliance software firms are deploying AI to decode complex trader communications and detect potential financial crimes as Wall Street and London regulators intensify scrutiny of market manipulation. Companies like Behavox and Global Relay are developing AI tools that can interpret trader slang, emoji-laden messages and even coded language that traditional detection systems might miss, WSJ reports. The technology aims to replace older methods that relied on scanning for specific trigger words, which traders could easily evade. The story adds: Traders believed that "if somebody wanted to say something sketchy, they would just make up a funny word or, you know, spell it backward or something…

Canon is requiring users to pay a monthly subscription fee to fully use their cameras as webcams on computers.

Если вы пользуетесь ChatGPT, то может знаете: там есть встроенная персонализация. Индивидуальный подход, так его. Как ни крути, любая большая языковая модель — это довольно примитивная система: текст на вход, текст на выход. Поэтому кучу всего разработчики закладывают в невидимое сообщение, с которого на самом деле начинается разговор, когда вы спрашиваете сколько нужно варить яйца до состояния всмятку. Это называется «системный промпт». Его я и переколбасил за несколько подходов.

The TikTok ban is approaching; what happens if the service actually goes away? Then, why China will misunderstand the Xiaolongshu phenomenon

My son Nat is autistic, which makes him quiet and passive. He depends on

routines and can be anxious when they vary. We try to prepare him for changes

and explain what will happen. He usually watches the world around him

seriously.Because of all that, when he does show us a genuine smile, it is like

sunshine bursting through an overcast sky.I took this picture nine years ago, but it’s still one of my favorites:

The Biden administration has a raft of new regulations aimed at limiting AI exports; the motivation makes sense, but the precedent and second-order effects are worrisome.

Здравствуйте! Сразу к вопросу (он странный наверное). В интерфейсах на английском есть кнопка Edit. В русскоязычных чаще всего используется «Редактировать». Подскажите, пожалуйста, есть ли какие-то ограничения, если я хочу вместо «Редактировать» использовать более короткое «Изменить»? Или у этих слов в интерфейсе разная коннотация и пользователь больше привык к «Редактировать»?

Как правильно заимствовать чужой материал?

Курсы Ильи Синельникова базируются на книгах Джима Кемпа. По крайней мере, он не стесняясь об этом говорит. Справедливо отметить, что Илья не копирует в чистую, а интерпретирует и качественно дополняет.

В некоторых книгах на первых страницах пишут «Никакая часть этой книги не может быть воспроизведена в какой либо форме…» и т. д. Например, в практическом руководстве по схема-терапии Джеффри Янга. Из-за этого мне начинает казаться, что если я напишу о любой идее из этой книги — за мной приедет серый фургон.

На что нужно обратить внимание, если я захочу рассказывать о принципах из других книжек?

Спасибо!

An interview with Anduril co-founder Brian Schimpf about the Lattice SDK, competing for the Collaborative Combat Aircraft Program, and building AI with Palantir.

С этим бизнесом мы работаем не первый год, и кампаниям в Яндексе тоже много лет. Но не сказать, что в текущем году это нам упростило задачу. Сейчас в Директе то, что настраивалось даже в конце 2023, может совершенно не работать в 2024. Настроил раз - подстраиваюсь каждый час - уж скорее так.

Mark Zuckerberg is making big changes to Meta's moderation policies; it's the next step in a journey that has been more nuanced than people think — and it's one I relate to.

We are at an unprecedented point in American history, and I'm concerned we may lose sight of the American Dream.

Я правда считаю, что десятки тысяч долларов отложить не очень сложно. При этом инвестировать $10к я бы не стал. Вместо этого занялся бы тем, чтобы заработать ещё $10k, работая на работе работником за деньги, как бы это примитивно не казалось. Опыт показывает, трудиться, пока есть силы и запал, гораздо выгоднее, чем «инвестировать». Сама идея того, что деньги работают сами на себя — это по сути аутсорс личного труда на других.

Я обратил внимание, что речь ведущих на коммерческих ютуб каналах (где говорящая голова пересказывает переводы с реддита) напоминает копирайтинг до инфостиля. Используются клише типа «столбик термометра», «братья наши меньшие», «бытует мнение». Я полагаю, что владельцам канала нужно, чтобы видео было определённой длины, и авторы текста таким образом ее увеличивают, как было раньше с копирайтерами.

I am a collector by nature, and hunting down obscure items is a slow process that is only sometimes rewarding. I've often checked eBay at the end of a day to find exactly what I was looking for, long sold.

How to install>>> pip install c2fj >>> sudo apt install picolibc-riscv64-unknown-elfHow to useSimply python3 c2fj.py file.c will compile your c file into an elf, into fj files, into fjm, then run it.

Note that most of the macros use the global fj variables rs1, rs2, rd (part of the riscv namespace).

The RiscV -> FlipJump part of the compilation parses the compiled elf, and matches each opcode with the appropriate flipjump macro.

The last phase, running the .fjm file, uses the flipjump package to interpret the .fjm file, and allows to debug it too.

The entire loadable memory of the compiled elf is being loaded into flipjump using this file.

We found that there was a significant hardware barrier for anyone trying to learn CUDA programming. Renting and buying NVIDIA GPUs can be expensive, installing drivers can be a pain, submitting jobs can cause you to wait in long queues, etc.That's why we built LeetGPU.com, an online CUDA playground for anyone to write and execute CUDA code without needing a GPU and for free.We emulate GPUs on CPUs using two modes: functional and cycle accurate. Functional mode executes your code fast and provides you with the output of your CUDA program. Cycle accurate mode models the GPU architecture and provides you also with the time your program would have taken on actual hardware. We have used open-sou…

After struggling to manage my growing backlog of startup ideas in various notes apps and spreadsheets, I built TheLeanIncubator - a dedicated workspace for founders to store, track, and validate their startup ideas.

It's built with Node.js/React and implements lean startup methodology into the workflow. Currently supports:Kanban-style idea management

Validation milestone tracking

I am the founder of 1Core Solution (“1Core”), based in Cupertino, CA, the heart of Silicon Valley.

Back in early 2000, childcare software was all desktop based with siloed back office functions and limited consumer facing interfaces.

I noticed a gap in the market and saw the potential for cloud-based software that could fundamentally change how software could be developed, delivered and supported in the childcare industry.

We built the first version of our solution by working with a few childcare providers in Silicon Valley.

You can learn more about my background and 1Core Solution:1Core sponsors a Youtube channel called The ChildCare Channel, a safe space designed to Inform, Inspire, and I…

This is what I am building today, and is what will eventually be the number 1 personal brand consultancy worldwide and have a team of 500 consultants.

The term personal brand was coined by a man named Tom Peters in 1997 in his article “The Brand Called You” which was published in FastCompany.

Within 3 months, the business appeared as if it was around for years and was already a trusted, vetted, personal brand consultancy.

I initially went on a podcast tour and was doing interviews that felt like every single day talking about MCG, writing more articles on industry subject matter, for example why you would hire a personal brand consultant, why you should build your personal brand, and how ou…

My name is Tony Wang, and I’m the general manager of The Cat Cafe in downtown San Diego.

We are the first cat cafe to open in Southern California and we are the fourth oldest continuously operating cat cafe in the United States.

We first learned about cat cafes when we saw an article about Le Cafe de Chats in Paris.

We are The Cat Cafe, as opposed to other cat cafes that have cute names.

But if you work hard enough at it, and you succeed, it will feel great.

We are a bit different in that we focus on German conversation/speaking classes - we don’t do traditional grammar classes.

We don't tell anyone this but what we really sell isn’t German classes, it is confidence!

To get around this and practice the German I was putting so much effort into learning, I thought I would start an online group for German learners.

But the issue was my German is intermediate - so half the people had German worse than mine and have better.

A poor decision of mine was not grandfathering in everyone who first joined (about the first 80 people) as free customers for life.

We are a Media and Consulting agency focused on the U.S. Latino demographic and are working towards building a marketplace for Latino-owned businesses.

We currently run a weekly newsletter and social media focused on elevating positive stories around the business, culture, and social impact of U.S. Latinos.

The newsletter started and is still currently free to readers.

To continue growing our audience and agency clients, I will double down on consistently posting across social media platforms.

Over the next 12 months, as I’m increasing agency and newsletter revenue, I’ll be focused on slowly building up the first iteration of the Latino-owned marketplace.

Because owning a self-storage facility didn’t seem like a real estate investment.

It sounded more like I would be running a small business.

The self-storage industry is interesting, because it benefits greatly from a lot of modern business practices.

We knew our focus coming out of the gates was to build a self-storage business with a heavy focus on technology and process optimization.

Our first Iron Storage facilityThe first storage facility we bought and revamped was about an hour from where I lived in Houston, TX.

I am Stefano Lodola, founder of Think in Italian, a language learning platform designed to help individuals master Italian through an immersive approach.

My research confirmed that there was a gap in the market for a more comprehensive and engaging approach to learning Italian.

However, many language app users have expectations that work against them (“where are the quizzes?

At its peak, my site had the largest amount of organic traffic among those focusing on teaching the Italian language with 130k visits/m.

Instead of those spammy “best xyz” listicles that any content writer can make up, I published hundreds of grammar notes to attract people who are serious about learning Italian.

Our current hero product is the Vonu Lounger, a multi-use lounger that helps with tummy time, reflux relief, burping, and gas relief, and encourages face-to-face time with your little one.

As of right now, we’re less than a year in, and over 10,000 babies and parents have found relief with the Vonu Lounger.

We ended up with the first Vonu Lounger which we called a “Burplee” at the time.

We use our social proof and UGC to build a community around the brand and the Vonu Lounger.

Davante, our co-founder, taught himself how to buy media a few months into building Vonu and has done an incredible job creating a paid media team around him.

What we had in mind was a simple, clutter-free email hub, where people could manage all their inboxes and reduce some of that email anxiety we all experience.

To this day, I believe it shows in the way Mailbird is built, its features, and the overall user experience.

Our customer base consists of two main groups:The heavy email users.

Part of the Mailbird team, in BaliWe launched Mailbird with minimal resources.

Mailbird - Last but not least, of course, we use Mailbird for our email management needs.

My son, Asher, and my wife, Paige, and I started our woodworking business four years ago: Frailey Woodworks.

Each of these skill sets are now focused on our high-end furniture making business where we specialize in full-scope design and build.

Soon, we ventured into other custom mid-century furniture, and our business took off.

Building our first hand-powered sit/stand desk took several iterations before we had a working prototype.

These customers took a chance on our company and we are very grateful for their trust.

Aithor helps with research, essay planning, sourcing trustworthy references, and adhering to specific types of writing.

We are broadening our focus to include content creators such as marketers and managers, while still supporting our existing student base.

It wasn’t until about four months after the product launch that we realized we were in the right place at the right time with the right team.

We quickly went to market, attracted new clients, and received valuable feedback, which led us to refine the MVP.

Hey, my name is Kyle Bigley and I am the Founder of TxtCart, AKA the AI-Powered SMS Marketing company for Shopify stores.

We’re a unique SMS Marketing company pioneering conversational commerce with AI agents generating sales and resolving customers questions via text messages.

Now, we’re over $1M ARR while still bootstrapped and are setting our sights on $3M ARR by 2026 (whilst still bootstrapped).

So I started TxtCart right before graduating, and took a Project Management job out of college.

Holding out on external investment from either Angels, VCs or crowdfunding makes building a SaaS in an ultra competitive environment like SMS Marketing incredibly difficult.

My company specializes in designing and manufacturing modern, stylish flatpack furniture and other designery items.

This allows me to focus on what I'm good at – the creative process – and leave the manufacturing to experts.

The combination of life on the road and designing things inherently designed to travel or get deconstructed and reconstructed resonated with me.

I also use Notion for ideation and notes, Shapr3d for CAD design and drawings, Illustrator for logos, Pacdora for packaging design.

Natural curiosity is an essential tool for entrepreneurs: asking questions, seeking to understand how things work, and being eager to learn and inquire.

I was based out of Singapore and was working with an edtech founder and looking for ideas in the AI + edtech space.

Explored several ideas like vision AI based analytics for live tutoring classes, adaptive learning and AI generated quizzes.

A year later in 2022, I put together all my learnings in AI quiz generation into an Udemy course.

So I built the first version that just takes text input on a left textbox, calls an API behind the scenes and shows the output text (quizzes) on the right textbox.

There are so many things like influencer marketing, email marketing, paid ads, SEO, newsletter marketing etc.

Software development, nutrition, business strategy, economics, AI - I've obsessed over them all.

Free product feedback can be deceiving - they might not value it the same if they were paying.

Some crucial parts weren't ready (like, you know, showing people their AI generated headshots), but who needs a complete product, right?

As you can see from the screenshot below, we were ranking for an important keyword, ‘Ai headshot generator’, in April.

Install as many product feedback loops to drive insights about your target audience.

Credit: Spending money you don't have, that you're borrowing from someone else, while promising to them pay back later.

When consumers can easily borrow money, they can immediately buy houses, buy vehicles, and start businesses.

And the cheaper it is for everyone to borrow money, the more money they borrow.

Generally, interest rates below 3% are considered low, while rates above 5% are considered high.

On the flip side, when interest rates are high (like they are now), it's a good time to focus on efficiency and stability.

Hey all,I'm Stanley, and I'm currently building an agency that specialises in creating custom internal tools, dashboards, and third-party integrations using FilamentPHP.

I'm currently looking to collaborate with a product marketer/growth person while I handle the technical side of building / fine-turning the products and working on client’s projects.

The ideal candidate would have a strong background in B2B marketing strategies, with a proven track record in driving lead generation and customer acquisit…

Growth beyond brandingInvest in influencer marketingSo we had a brand that stood out, but we needed a couple more things to turn on growth.

It helped that we were doing something in a brand new market, so there were a lot of folks looking for content.

This strategy is a more expensive and less effective strategy if you play in a more established market or your customers live in more expensive/traditional marketing channels.

Get customer-led growthInfluencer marketing helped jump-start our growth, and we’re now able to get a lot more out of customer-led growth to keep our CAC down.

Our growth engine will keep evolving, and we’ve recently invested even more in customer-led community and mid-f…

Using AI to Build SoftwareIf you've ever used no-code tools like Framer or Bubble you know how easy and difficult those tools can be.

Comparing AI ToolsUnfortunately, AI is not yet a Do-It-All Tool.

Those limitations are shrinking everyday and tools like Cursor & Replit allow you to edit AI generated code.

Replit has something no other AI tool offers, a marketplace.

If you have started a project with an AI tool you can contract a freelancer on sites like Fiverr or Upwork.

Say hello 👋 to Reactable AI!

My AI startup that helps you make better LinkedIn and Instagram posts up to 10x faster.

It's NOT purely generative AI though.

✅ It learns how posts perform and suggests new approaches next time✅ It posts to Instagram and LinkedIn with a single click (10 faster!)

So if you get a subscription before the cheaper seats run out, you'll end up paying a lot less.

Building a SaaS app is like riding a rollercoaster.

37% of SaaS founders say their biggest mistake was not listening to their early users (source: SaaS Insider).

Why It’s All Worth ItDespite the challenges, building a SaaS app has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life.

Final ThoughtsIf you’re thinking about building a SaaS app, know this: it won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.

Have you ever built a SaaS app or thought about starting one?

We relied on similar ping services to keep those apps alive, but most of them were packed with features we didn’t need.

That got us thinking: why not build something useful but ridiculously simple, with an intuitive UI and only the essential features?

It’s designed to be straightforward: simple signups, simple pings, and a simple interface.

Whether you're keeping your free-tier apps awake or just experimenting with cloud-hosted services, PingPapi provides a no-nonsense solution that works.

CRM Software for Real Estate Agents: A solution tailored for real estate agents in German-speaking countries.

I’m one of the creators behind Gramlab.io—a tool designed to help creators and brands grow their Instagram accounts using the Close Friends feature.

Maxime, a friend, and Instagram growth expert sent me a quick message: "What if we built a tool that automates Instagram’s Close Friends feature for creators?

Stories shared with Close Friends get priority placement in the feed, showing up with a green ring that screams VIP access.

In December 2020, she used Close Friends to engage her 120 million followers, strengthening her bond with fans and driving massive engagement.

But here’s the catch: manually adding thousands—or millions—of followers to Close Friends is a nightmare.

Building a CRM for an immigration services agency wasn’t something I had planned, but when a friend running an agency mentioned how disorganized their client management process was, I knew there had to be a better way.

They were juggling spreadsheets, emails, and paper files, and it was clear they needed a proper system to streamline everything.

Understanding the ProblemThe first step was figuring out what the agency really needed.

Feedback is Gold - Regular feedback from the agency helped me tweak the CRM and make it more useful.

Stats to Back It Up30% of small businesses struggle with disorganized client management systems.

Report: AI to kill 92 million and create 170 million jobs.

They recently released a report called "Future of Jobs 2025", where they estimated that 92 million jobs will be destroyed by AI.

The good news is that 170 million jobs will be created.

That's a net employment increase of 78 million jobs.

Reports like these can be useful if you have an AI software and want to specialize in a particular industry.

Hey everyone, Wanted to spread the word about ugcgenerator.com . It's by far the cheapest UGC ad generator on the market while being on par, or even higher quality, than competitors.

I have been experimenting with iOS Apps and with my latest YouTube Comment Analyser app, I have become profitable with in-app subscriptions. The app is already helping YouTube content creators with analysing sentiments of comments posted to their videos and generating ideas for their next viral video with help of AI.

Yeah, I know, kind of a crazy amount to drop on a domain for a side project (and I haven't set up url forwarding yet 😂). TLDR is that you can take scenes from podcasts, movies, tv shows, etc. and re-lip sync them (ie make something funny for friends or posts for social media). Try it out here: https://eggnog.ai/remix It's a gray area morally, but the idea is that by making it easy to generate stuff like this, people will realize how simple it is to fabricate things and hopefully get better at spotting misinformation / be more conscious of getting their news from trusted sources instead of social media. If you’re curious, DM me whatever you make, and I’ll add it to the front page :) submitte…
