最近たまに見かける「インセプション風の曲面マップ」、ナビアプリに実装されたら手前と遠くが同時に見渡せて意外と便利そう。

It's bittersweet to shut down Gizmo, a labor of love by so many people for the last couple years, but I'm excited for Pocket and what's next.
Starting a company is something I wanted to do for a long time, and it was way more fun than I imagined. I owe everything to my cofounders and early team, who couldn't have been a more perfect bunch to build with.
And thank you to @tjack, who took a big bet on us, and to the rest of our investors and early users (gizmologists!).
The vision for Atma Sciences -- Atma is "apps to make apps" -- was to create tools that let anyone express their creativity in ways that were not previously possible. We're going to stay true to that mission with madewithpocket.com (now on iOS and Android!)
Onward!

Just tried @MakeGizmos for the first time and the app is incredible. It's like Instagram for vibe coding (?). Really shows how much creativity is about to be unlocked.
These videos show some of the little mini games / experiences you can just scroll through and play with.
1/ New Gizmo app nav from @ruddfawcett now in the App Store. Playlists are just a swipe away 👇
2/ Gemini Flash 3 is a game changer for Gizmologists: even higher user satisfaction scores than Gemini 3 Pro (likely biased due to speed, but speed matters!)
3/ Gizmo now generates images automatically for game sprites, assets, backgrounds, etc. using @fal and @runware across hundreds of thousands of Gizmo edits per day
We tracked down an unexpected Gizmo growth spurt to this TT video.. for some reason really popular in Ireland

After a few TikTok-for-AI-games had already dropped Gizmo came in so hot and said "ok this but what if it was just better?" Between their creation flow, their algo, and their users Gizmo somehow reminds you just how funny and creative people can be: apps.apple.com/app/id6740640…
Build on Gizmo first!
Also we had to discount these from our time spent metrics 😅
i originally tested this concept on @MakeGizmos with a simple "flip to focus" timer.
as of today, the proof of concept has over 8k likes with hundreds of comments ranging from "it helped me do my homework" to "i accidentally took a nap"...
felt like i was on to something so that lead me to start working on flipphone.co
A Gizmologist figured out how to use the device accelerometer, hand tracking model, and camera to make this
TIL Uzbekistan is one of the only two double landlocked countries in the world - it’s surrounded by landlocked countries.
Gizmo is also now available in Uzbekistan 🇺🇿🇺🇿🇺🇿
It’s not too late to be one of the first million Gizmologists 👩🎨 Now with a sounds library, group chat, image gen, and lots more coming soon! Here’s a recent favorite: gizmo.party/p/Kakas7L5RgmZhx…
