THIS GUY TURNED A SIMPLE PARKING SENSOR INTO A $1M BUSINESS. A guy built a parking sensor that lives in his garage - not just an app, but a real device. A distance sensor watches your bumper. A 5x5 light grid (readable straight through your backup camera) flashes blue...

There's nothing difficult in building a tool like this. You can just use ultrasonic sensor instead of infrared and the refraction problem disappears. Pretty simple product, happy to see someone making a fortune out of this

Or you could just park correctly once and then hang a tiny ball on a thread.

I hung a tennis ball on a string. It even works when the power is out!

Turns out a million-dollar product can be built around the last six inches of your garage.

You spent all that money for a vehicle without a parking sensor? Dumb!

Imagine spending that much on a piece of crap that doesn’t have proximity indicators on the backup camera 💀

My 2015 Toyota Camry has something called ultrasound sonic sensors that help to solve this complex issue, the good thing is this solution works in any parking lot the car goes to, it’s sad Tesla couldn’t figure that out

Testing instead of trusting the datasheet is exactly why it worked on stainless steel when it shouldn't have.

been playing with whop's new blueprints feature and a part of it changes the whole math on starting a business.. a blueprint is a full business ready to run. not a template you fill in. the actual site, the checkout, tracking, the whop pixel, analytics, all of it live from the first second. you pick a bluepint, name it and deploy, that's it. you're on a .whop.app url taking real payments with nothing left to wire up. i deployed one in the time it takes to read this and these aren't thin little landing pages. multi-page sites, customer accounts, carts, booking, subscriptions, reviews, checkout. full commercial sites out of the box, hosted on Whop for free. the analytics sit in the same dashboard. traffic, conversions, revenue, MRR, churn, ad spend, all in one place,you deploy and you can already see everything. but here's the part that actually that got me invested into it. instead of just building and deploying blueprints, it has other features in-built which can make the whole process easier and every business that gets onboarded through a blueprint you built earns you 10% of whop's gross profit from that business. recurring, per business, for as long as they run. so building a blueprint is its own business. you build one for a niche, put it out there, and every business that runs on it keeps paying you while you do nothing. i spent years thinking distribution was the hard part. build a good blueprint and the distribution is the business.

Someone ran Claude Code on a beach where any device overheats and that spot suddenly turned out to be the best home for the most powerful AI in the world. This is the reMarkable Paper Pro. A paper tablet for notes with no browser and no social media and not a single app. He sat down right on the sand in the open sun and brought up Claude Code on Opus 4.6 over the Claude API on the paper screen and opened his project ~/repos/webs while the waves broke a few steps away. For years every device had the same trouble outside. In direct sun the screen glares and washes out and heats up and instead of your work you see your own reflection. But e-ink does not blast its own light into your face. It reflects the sunlight like the page of a book. And here is what came out of it. The very thing that kills any normal screen outside turned into fuel for this one. The brighter the sun the sharper the picture because it has nothing to glare with and nothing to wash out. And then comes the thing no laptop on a beach will give you. Your eyes do not get tired. You can watch Opus think on max effort for an hour and it reads like a book in the sun and not a backlight you squint into. The picture only comes alive. In bright light it does not fade but turns sharper and higher in contrast than it ever was in a room. The charge lasts for days. E-ink barely touches the battery so there is no outlet anywhere on the sand and the tablet does not care. It weighs as much as a notebook. The whole setup folds into a beach bag like a pad with a pen on top. Everything on the screen is for real. Claude Code v2.1.110 and Opus 4.6 on the Claude API and the project ~/repos/webs open right on the e-ink in the middle of the sand. In my opinion this is the most unexpected home for an AI this year. Not an office with the blinds drawn and not a monitor cranked to full brightness but a quiet sheet of paper on the sand that open sun only makes better and on it the most powerful Claude writes code right on the page like a pen.
