Damn this is really cool
Today @instant_db is releasing an API to let humans and agents spin up full-stack backends Each backend comes with database, sync engine, auth tools, file storage, as well as presence And it's all hosted on multi-tenant infra You can create millions of DBs in milliseconds
I gotta say @NotionMail is feeling strong. I already use @NotionCalendar religiously. I think the only missing feature is read receipts and then I can drop @Superhuman. Which is kinda a big deal because it's my longest running subscription for over 6 years.
I want the CMD+J AI feature @Superhuman built for every input on my computer. Has anyone done that? I briefly built github.com/zlwaterfield/s… and might revive it as a Mac app to do more.
My OSS portcos are killing it, so cool to see OSS + AI 🚀
I have an oss portco company blowing up and they need help managing their repo and community. Any devs / dev rel people interested? 15k+ stars and growing quick. Only a few people on the team.
I think Apple will acquire Anthropic before the end of the year.
Innovation
i'm very sorry to break the news but the highly-acclaimed posthog.com website is going away very soon. i hope you like change but also nostalgia. 🤞🏼
Making moves

Just got my @bytebot_ai to setup it's email client. Bytebot is a turnkey desktop agent - an AI that controls a virtual machine. It comes with a browser, email client, password manager and more installed. And it's open source, so you can set it up locally or host it in the…
Caught up with 3 founder friends today who are all crushing it. Nothing brings me more joy than watching the people I care about succeed.
Cursor: Want me to make this change? Nobody: No that's ok.
Cursor is so strong that I'm itching to prompt the agent to do multiple things at once and run them in parallel. That feels like the next iteration of features.

Toronto eng opportunity!
Toronto builders: I need your help. We are hiring 2x software engineers. Fresh off $8M+ raised. We’re a small but mighty team. We pay generously. We like to have fun (think dinners, retreats, sports). If any of that sounds interesting, DM me or interview directly at…
Need a model that takes full res images and can lookup pixel colors against a tailwind config.
my guess is none because most multimodal llms will downsample images for speed
What is the best model for pixel perfect design. I find Sonnet 3.7 and GPT-4.1 really graze over the design if you give it a screenshot - really bad at borders, colors, sizing, etc.

the journey to 2 million developers → @supabase
This side panel in @windsurf_ai is one of the most annoying things I encounter every day.
