I was listening to the latest episode of Invest Like the Best and it talked a lot about S-curves.. So I had Fable one shot a website that talked about all the S-curves, their inflection point & commentary on each being a bubble in the last 200 years. Live now on escurves dot com 🌊

SO fun to host the Claude Code for Normies event with friends Thariq, Michael Grinich & Sara Du.. We had some great demos from non-technical folks (incl a surgeon) and hope everyone left more energized to embrace CLI tools. Gap between idea and execution has never been smaller 🕺

People are still sleeping on WebMCP.. You can now give agents tool calls to interact with your website natively. Including full UI/UX support and interactive elements to build their own views. Sharing a demo below that I submitted for the WebMCP challenge - see how agents can interact with the El Nino situation tracker. It creates it's own views, preserves human edits, and creates a shareable link to share with other agents (or humans). Video and code by Codex ChatGPT & Railway Live at elneenyo dot com to try out today!

I think people are still sleeping on realtime voice driven consumer experiences.. Releasing my latest side project geared towards kids: Upon A Voice ✨ You can watch my daughter interact with it in the video below but the highlights are as follows: - generates a "live" storybook based on who your child is and how they look. - the story is completely driven by voice and what the kid wants to see in the book. - images are generated in real time keeping the character consistent. - at the end, you get a full PDF that you can print and hand to your child to read as a bedtime story Live now at uponavoice dot com with a BYO Gemini key!

Inspired by Andrej Karpathy & Farza 🇵🇰🇺🇸, introducing LLMwiki.. fully open source to help build yours. Inputs were tweets, bookmarks, iMessage/WhatsApp, and all my writing. Spent a bunch of time refining the frontend design to make it look great. Even though every single article here was written by AI, it was able to make surprisingly sharp connections. To make yours, just give the repo to Claude Code and it'll guide you!
