Author here - yeah that makes sense. A real example would def make it clearer - I'll add one. Thanks for the suggestion!


Author here – fair point! I can def see how it could've used more explanation. I'll update the post - appreciate the heads-up!


How many R's are in "strawberry"? ;)


Author here, good point! I should have mentioned that MCP was created by Anthropic but is seeing wider adoption.

Appreciate the feedback - brb I'll update the post to include this!


This weekend I had a 24-hour hackathon on Twitter and built BoozyBlend

Basically, I wanted a cocktail with the ingredients at home and came up with the idea to build an AI bartender that could give you suggestions on what cocktail to make based on your preferences.

I'm using GPT-3 to generate cocktail recipes and cocktail names. Let me know what cocktails you get!

What if we could make marketing more like a game?

Imagine being rewarded for your creativity and hard work.


> Imagine being rewarded for your creativity and hard work.

Doesn't that happen at the end of each month?


Gamification doesn't improve bullshit jobs. It just adds more bullshit.


I think it truly can, but when the incentive isn't there, people often see no point in it. I resent patronizing gameification where people bolt some nominal gamed system onto a horrible job and call it a day as if it was just a question of perspective. That completely undermines the huge efforts invested into making games engaging.

That said, if you can engender a feeling of competition and make people feel like they're achieving something, I think it can work.


Competition doesn't motivate me, and if I want to feel like I'm "achieving something" I can go lift weights.


I think skinner boxes like Genshin Impact demonstrate how people can be motivated to go to great lengths for nothing. Just because you don't doesn't mean that the phenomenon is invalid.


Yes, but it will be fun bullshit! And likely mandatory!

Wait…


I like writing my daily habits down on paper.

It makes it more real and tangible.

I'm excited to relaunch the app I built during the first lockdown in San Francisco with new features (save, edit, duplicate your custom trackers).

Would love your feedback on this new take


Every Monday, I write a newsletter with 3 product ideas with expired .com domains.

Most domains get taken, but here are a few favorites that are still expired and ready to get scooped up.


How good is your SaaS business idea? I built a super simple tool to evaluate your big ideah and would love any feedback and thoughts on how you assess if to pursue all the ideas that pop up.

How good is your SaaS business idea? I've built a super simple tool to evaluate if all the ideas that pop up in my mind are worth pursuing/building.

I would love any feedback and thoughts on how you assess if you should pursue all the ideas that pop up.

Answer 20 questions and automatically generate a PDF with a complete evaluation.


𝐓𝐋𝐃𝐑; I trained a LinearSVC to predict good .com domains with 0.74 accuracy.

See for yourself how the model performs in action at https://DailyDomainIdeas.com or @DomainIdeaDaily on Twitter, or feel free to read the medium post for more details on the process I used.

𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚 𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭?

I love product ideas (shiny object syndrome), and I'm coming up with new ideas almost daily.

So 1 month ago, I decided to daily publish 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 single idea that popped up as a side project.

As I started to publish all the domain ideas, I thought that "this would definitely be possible to automate with machine learning."

So I did.


I love ideas, and I always felt that a domain could be your business inspiration.

Do you need inspiration for your next business or side project?

I built DailyDomainIdeas.com, where I daily share one new idea for an available .com domain.
