I built this just for fun for a few friends but:
1. it's growing organically
2. people that installed and connected to a few friends use it every day
3. the #1 thing i hear from people is "I text my friends more now" which is perfect. Exactly what I hoped. Talk to your friends!
I built a tiny app last week. Pick 9 friends, take photos, they show up on each other’s home screens.
I shared it on TestFlight and it ended up being pretty fun. It’s in the App Store now.
It took Apple longer to review it than it took me to make it.

What’s so funny about this is we already know this by the number of great ICs that became managers, hated it, and burned out. We turned every IC into a manager.
Isn't it kinda crazy that we used to turn on the TV and just watch music videos? I watched VH1 Top Ten all the time. The same songs in a slightly different order over and over.
Impressive. I hate it.
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

Man, the open/close animation on the iPhone Duo is so nice it convinced a ton of people to order a device that was clearly mid.
I have a weekly game night group. There’s a whole coordination conversation every week about who’s hosting and who’s attending. I built and app that automates this. Then I killed the app because the conversation was part of the value of planning, not a cost of it.
Someone told me he thinks dating apps are bad because they let you access connection without having any motion in your life. Normally meeting people requires going out into the world, entering new scenes and navigating unfamiliar situations. You have to be living a life that brings you into contact with other people. Dating apps let you order connection without doing any of that work
All you haters are gonna feel real stupid when you’re stuck in traffic and I’m doing flying flips over you to pass.
I’m gonna send this letter to all my neighbors to ensure my kids get full size candy bars from every house.
My HOA sent me a letter requesting that I stop handing out full-size candy bars for Halloween this year.
-Fun-size bars are usually 15–25¢ each.
-Full-size are around 75¢–$1.
Most people give out 2–3 fun-size anyway, so the real difference is often only a few cents per kid.
Am I crazy, or is it weird for an HOA to police this?
Reminds me of when google tried to call their new android phone a “super phone” because it was so much better than a smart phone.

An idea I've been playing with. Develop. A photo app that acts just like a film camera: film rolls, no instant previews, double exposures, you gotta wait for the film to develop, you get your photos in a beautiful envelope, each photo feels special. Save to your camera roll or send to a friend.
