Microsoft is testing a new feature in Windows 11... called Low Latency Profile that gives a short boost to your CPU for 1 to 3 seconds when you open apps or menus. Early tests show Microsoft apps like Edge and Outlook open up to 40% faster, while the Start menu and other menus can load up to 70% faster, with CPU use jumping high for a few seconds then dropping right back down. Microsoft says this is normal because Apple does it in macOS and Linux, plus phones use the same type of quick CPU boosts for better speed. The feature is only in early Insider testing now, so it is not out for everyone yet.show more

It’s been a year since the company I helped... start shut down. It was one of those ideas that felt truly “net-positive” for the world, and truly helped people on a personal level. So, over this last year I worked on 2 things — searching for an idea that feels net-positive and something people could connect with on a deep, personal level. That led me to build + launch 2 apps at the beginning of the year: 1. Lyrics: Daily Music Widget - an app that shows you song lyrics from your favorite artists, right on your home screen 2. one year - another app that shows how many days of growth you’ve had in a year Both of these apps had their ups and downs, but they made me realize some pretty cool things: - I want my apps to feel great to use - I want me apps to do one thing really well - I want my apps to feel like a human made them - and, I want my apps to always be made with other people So, two months ago I took those concepts, went to visit in SF, and started on an idea that I truly felt could change the way people live their daily lives. And, it’s launching today. This is Find Your Faith, an iPhone app that helps you discover a spiritual path that resonates with you, or helps you dive deeper into a faith you already practice. We started this as a way to help us with our own spiritual journeys. We wanted to explore different faiths in a way that was authentic to us. The beauty about spirituality is there is no deadline on when you should “figure out what you believe in” lol. It’s really something to check in on during the different seasons of your life. And, there isn’t just one way to do it. Some people may enjoy reading religious text, or others may prefer being in the presence of something greater than them. At the end of the day, these are just ways to give yourself the space to explore really tough questions and concepts. That’s what Find Your Faith (or fyf) does — helps you understand where you are on your journey, no matter where you may be, and gives you the space to sit in these questions every day. This is just the beginning for us, and hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed building it :).show more

For those who worry about the lack of controllers... on Apple Vision Pro: You don't need controllers for artificial movement in VR. Here is the hand tracking alternative we built for Wooorld called 'Glider'. Pull it toward wherever you want to go. Pull it further to go faster. Movement is even more complicated in Wooorld compared to other VR apps & games as we have two modes of movement: 'Map Navigation' (first half of the video) and 'Locomotion' (second half of the video). And in many ways Glider feels better and more natural than controller thumbstick as it utilizes all three axes. *We still have lots of improvements planned for Glider.show more

SOMEONE JUST BUILT A PERSONAL AI DASHBOARD WITH CLAUDE... AND IT DOES NOT FEEL LIKE A TOOL. It feels like an operating system for their entire life. One screen. Their calendar. Their tasks. Their goals. Their content pipeline. Their finances. Their health metrics. All connected. All updated in real time. All queryable in plain English. Not ten apps talking past each other. One intelligent surface that knows everything and surfaces what matters. They described what they wanted to Claude Design. Claude built the entire interface. Then they connected it to Opus 4.7 as the reasoning layer. Now instead of opening five apps to answer one question they just ask the dashboard. This is what personal computing looks like when the interface finally understands you. The people building their own AI OS right now will look back at this moment the way the first iPhone users looked back at 2007. You are early.show more

Built a native macOS viewer for ledger plain-text accounting... file format. Most expense tracking apps are built around lock-in. Proprietary formats, mandatory accounts, servers you don't control. When their VC funding dries up, they shut down or pivot, and you start over. Plain-text accounting takes the opposite approach: your finances live in a .ledger file. Open it in vim. Query it with awk. Put it in git and get a full audit trail of every change you've ever made. It's just a plain text file. Ledge is just a lens over that file. Fast, native, no cloud.

Hot Take: The New Camera app on iOS 26... is GREAT i initially hated it when i first saw it on the keynote, but now that i've used it, I'm loving it It’s familiar while being really simple I've always felt that the Camera app on iOS has gotten really complex and convoluted in these last few years, and the new one fixes that, while still being as nuanced as the old app if you configure it the way you want it to behave takes some time to get used to, but this is great, it really does simplify the whole Ul but, this could've been the perfect time for Apple to introduce Manual controls as an Option in the Native app, even after all this redesign, Apple is still stubborn on not adding Manual Controls it's 2025 Apple,if you're gonna let users shoot LOG Video from the Native App, let us have Manual Controls as an option in the Native App, instead of downloading third party apps👏 i wonder how people shoot LOG Videos without Manual Controls💀show more

🚨 WOW: Our troops just recorded the jaw dropping... moment an Iranian missile almost nailed them directly. You can see how close it was. Seconds from catastrophe. ZERO US casualties. That is the headline. And it better stay that way. This is not a game. These Americans are standing in the line of fire while weak politicians debate talking points. We back our troops. Every single time. Pray for them. 🇺🇸🙏show more

🚨 do you understand what OpenAI just announced.. ChatGPT... Pro is now $100/month. 10x more Codex usage. and Codex isn't autocomplete - it writes, debugs, builds entire apps. autonomously. if you've used Claude Opus for coding you know the feeling. Codex hits the same way. except Claude Opus limits burn through in hours. you blink and you're out. Codex just got a $100 tier built to run 24/7. no cooldowns. no "you've reached your limit" at 2am mid-build. they're not selling you a chatbot. they're selling you a software engineer that never sleeps and never asks for equity. and they're doing it quietly while everyone argues about tariffs.show more

We are launching A first attempt at building a... digital theme park for the Zama Protocol. Our thesis is simple: to accelerate the adoption of FHE, we need cool apps designed for real people. Users don't adopt protocols, they adopt experiences. In most ecosystems, there are very few places that turn participation into status and fun. Usage is transactional, not emotional. Adoption stalls. zashapon is always open, accessible, social by default, and adding infinite attractions over time. It's a playful layer that makes the ecosystem feel like… an ecosystem. The mechanics are simple: - You make FHE transactions by using confidential apps - You get tickets - You can spend them in Zashapon Participation → access → rewards. Zashapon is creating a flywheel: More FHEVM usage → more tickets → more play → more rewards → more users → more builders → more FHEVM usage. Why “gashapon” machines? Because "chance + collection + ritual" is one of the oldest, most reliable engagement loops in games and theme parks. It creates stories users want to repeat. Zashapon uses FHERand to make sure all draws are programmatically fair and confidential. Fun without trust tradeoffs. What you get today: NFTs. What you get tomorrow: anything that can be digitally rewarded — access, perks, whitelists, lore items, partner drops, even real-world benefits. Zashapon is the entertainment / loyalty / identity layer for confidential applications building on top of the Zama Protocol. In physical theme parks: you ride → you collect → you show → you come back with friends. In Zashapon: you use confidential apps → you earn tickets → you draw → you flex / trade / build → you return. We're launching with one Gashapon machine, rewarding the users of Soon there will be many more — one for every new app, partner, and experience built on the Zama Protocol. Digital parks win by expanding attractions continuously. Zashapon is live on Zama testnet right now. Go try it now!show more

External Apps Have Arrived! You can now set a... domain name for your applications and share them freely with anyone—no friction, no barriers. Someone on CT is complaining about missing dips and pumps? Build them a "Dip Detector" that pings their phone every time the market nukes so they can finally catch the bottom instead of crying. Or better yet, a "When To Sell" app that just flashes "Too Late" in red text. The market is down and your bags are wrecked? Build a "Touch Grass" app that reminds you to go outside, breathe fresh air, and stop staring at 1 minute charts on Dexscreener. Your mom is feeling lucky but needs a little nudge? Whip up a lottery number generator and send it her way. If she wins, maybe she'll finally stop asking when you're getting a "real job".show more

After 5 years in Solana, I honestly can’t believe... we’re here selling out arenas for a crypto event. I’ve never seen anything like this. The Breakpoint venue is insane. The pop-ups are so clean and creative. All our favorite Solana brands are here. In my whole web3 journey, I’ve never been to an event like this. The energy is unreal. It really feels like the biggest event in crypto. Everyone is here. All my Solana friends, all the builders, every project you can think of. The whole ecosystem pulled up. It’s surreal to see how far we’ve come, I truly mean it. I felt a bit emotional looking at everything today. We have more users, more apps, more tech, more institutions, and more real usage than ever before. You cannot be bearish on Solana after experiencing this. This is the chain that’s going to run global finance. Everything is happening here. Solana is the everything chain.show more

Cal AI might be the most viral health app... this year. 8M+ downloads, projected to do $30M revenue this year. Built by two teenagers. Everyone's using it. But nobody's talking about the fact that their AI is completely broken... To the point where users are manually correcting EVERY meal. • Bowl of grapes: 60 cal estimate (actually ~260) • 4 boiled eggs: 1,010 cal estimate (actually ~300) • Meat portions: consistently off by 50% These aren't my words, but the reviews you can see for yourself on App Store and other places. If the whole USP is saving time vs manual logging, and you still have to correct everything... what's the point? What Cal AI did get right: Distribution. • Viral TikTok content • Smart influencer partnerships • 8M downloads in under a year They absolutely crushed GTM. But the product doesn't work lol. The gap between the "90% accuracy" claim vs the actual user experience kills trust. And in health apps, trust is everything. This is the problem with AI apps across the board right now. Everyone's racing to ship fast and go viral. Nobody's asking: "Does this actually solve the problem?" Distribution > product quality is a losing game. As a result, you're bound to encounter problems: 1. Training data doesn't match real-world variety 2. No depth sensing for portion size 3. Poor training data on homemade meals 4. Zero context (is that chicken grilled or fried?) You only get fast & inaccurate answers. This is why, when I started building my own recipe app, I looked at Cal and other AI nutrition apps and noticed that being accurate was the biggest factor. Here's how we're building Nonna differently: ✓ Multi-model AI (different models for different foods) ✓ User feedback loop to improve estimates ✓ Manual override that actually trains the system ✓ Ship when it works, not when it's "good enough" If the AI can't nail it, we're not shipping it. But accuracy alone is boring. So we're also adding some additional features that make you want to use it daily: • Fridge Story: shareable infographic of your fridge contents • Mystery Ingredient: weekly cooking challenges • Cuisine Spin: random inspiration when you're stuck • Expectation vs Reality: before/after photo collages Tl;dr: Distribution gets downloads. Product keeps users. Cal got millions of downloads. How many people still use it daily after manually correcting every meal for a week? Viral marketing with a broken product = expensive way to disappoint people.show more
