$84k+/month ads are starting to look like random moments from someone’s camera roll a girl filming in the snow talking to the camera nothing polished then suddenly her brother throws a snowball at her from behind the reaction is real the moment feels unscripted and that’s exactly why people watch no studio no lighting setup no production crew just everyday situations that feel like normal life ai now generates the people the environment and endless little moments like this same idea different scenario every video the ads that feel the least like ads are usually the ones that scale the most rt + comment “ugc” and i’ll send the breakdown (follow for dm)

Just completed the entire onboarding flow for my finance app ✨ Kept it warm, encouraging, and pressure-free 💛 Money tools shouldn’t feel intimidating. Small steps > perfection. #indiedev #saas

As a senior dev, I’m genuinely surprised how easy it is to build a clean, minimal landing page now. Built one for my app in ~1 hour using @Lovable. The bar to ship is getting insanely low. @lovableshipped 👉 appclearpath.lovable.app

X is fun. But it’s so much better with people who love tech and code. If you’re into programming or AI, drop a hi 👋 Follow = follow back

Month 1 of launching 12 apps this year. One app every month 🚀 App #1 is live on the App Store ✅ClearPath — built to help people set clear goals, plan their days, and actually follow through. This is for anyone who struggles with consistency and knowing what to work on next. Would love your feedback — this is just the beginning. 👉 apps.apple.com/il/app/clearp…

Had fun with making 3d games with ThreeJS skills. But there's something about 2d games...(esp. pixel art) Working ona Phaser skill to be able to vibe code 2d games too. Lots lot to learn - esp. re: animation, tilemaps, etc. Here's an early prototype of a RTS with Opus 4.5 👇

claude update claude /model -> opus /plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-code /plugin install frontend-design@claude-code-plugins shift+tab until you see plan mode “Use the frontend-design skill to [describe what you want to build]” 🔥 @claudeai @AnthropicAI
Opus 4.5 is our best model yet for design & vision. Here are some of my favorite UIs we made with Claude Code's frontend-design plugin.
