One thing I respect about American culture: failure is valued. It signals you tried hard to build something good. In Europe, it’s mostly the opposite. If you failed, you’re no good at all

On my last trip to Japan, my friends and I became frustrated with the number of paywalls and limitations on adding expenses to the group while using Splitwise.
Thinking about building a mobile app focused on the basics, 100% free, beautiful UI/UX. Useful to anyone?

Kinda funny how AI models feel like different levels of engineering experience. I’ve been using Claude Code mostly for architecture and laying down a solid foundation for an app, this is my lead engineer model. GLM 4.6 jumps in for the junior stuff at a fraction of the cost 🤯

u know what, I've been growing a marketing agency for the real estate niche for the past 8 months, 0MRR to 30K MRR, and I have never been so happy and frustrated, it's like ridding a rollercoaster every day 😂

When designers get bored, some just find new ways to ruin things.
WTF is going on with that gradient? And let’s not even start on the blurry purple box shadow…

Figma is a perfect example of modern apps. Constantly adding features on top of features while core usability, performance, and speed just keep getting worse. Even on a fully specced M4 Pro, adding a few gradients, blurs, and masks makes everything goes to hell

Been having way more fun designing businesses than pixel-perfect apps lately. Don’t get me wrong, I still love design, but owning systems, automations, and connecting the dots of a profitable business is way more empowering

Rule #1 to avoid headaches when developing a new Framer website.
Stack everything! 😁
This is essentially the same as using auto-layout in Figma.
It will make your life 100% easier when considering breakpoints and responsive design.
