You can just make iPhone widgets that do one thing. That's exactly what sam and I did for one year, and now doing for a new app we dropped called Lyrics. It's a "widget first" app that does just one thing — shows you lyrics from your favorite musician.... show more

@samdape what's the secret to making a super engaging widget?

alec1 year ago

@samdape Think it goes back to what I was saying here — have it do one thing really well. Other than than, just make it feel like it's showing who "you" are

@samdape what are your thoughts on live actives? I feel that most users dont know or are too lazy to add widgets to their home and lock screen

alec1 year ago

I think live activities are super cool. Been awesome to see what ppl are doing with them. For a lot of what I'm messing with, live activities feel too "in your face" though. I'm hoping Apple will add some one-tap solution for adding widgets. But, until then just educating ppl on how ez it is to add will do the trick!

The most interesting thing in tech: a cool new app called Particle that I think helps show one promising future for real news --- and one way that media and the AI industry can work together.

"Livin' Thing" (1976) became one of this band's biggest songs. The lyrics touch on love, heartbreak, and moving on. What is the first thing you think of when you hear this one? What is their name?

Q. for this album or your debut, what’s one thing you definitely want to brag about? give yourself a passionate self-compliment. 🐶: keonho-ya! you punk, you did a good job writing the verse one lyrics for 'fashion' !!! 🐶: since we buy a lot of vintage clothes, i got the idea from seeing a belt i had saved on a vintage shopping app, and thought, “that belt i bookmarked is now around my waist”. i actually wrote it really quickly too. #KEONHO #건호 #CORTIS #코르티스

Chris Camillo reacts to Grant Cardone saying you can make $1,000,000/year as an AI consultant “I said the same thing on your show and got 4,000,000 views in two days on X.” “He stole it from me. I think he stole it from me. Because what I said was that you can make $500,000 a year basically doing exactly that. I said you go into a company and you say, 'Give me one problem that you have.' And the problem could be as simple as, 'We're missing phone calls every night and because we're missing those phone calls because we close at five or six, they call one of our competitors.' Create an AI widget to answer those calls, figure out what the issue is, immediately send responses out, inform the entire company, so the next morning you already have a lead sheet, you're already engaging with that customer, and you never lose that customer. You could potentially increase a company's revenue by 10 or 15%. Small businesses, HVAC companies, plumbing companies, doesn't matter what it is.

I asked Luke Kornet about his memories from stretches where he was a DNP for many games in a row, and what his message is to the young guys who find themselves in that position now: “It's just a lot of peace to come to life of accepting the position that you're in and then just doing the best with that, versus trying to fight it and want to be in a different one.” “You can spend a lot of time worrying about things that you can't really control. But when you just take the opportunity that you have and do the best with that, you can have days like today where a lot of guys came in and were able to contribute. You can have peace about knowing that you did your job well, just as you did the day before, the day after. It might just look a different way every time. I feel like that's what I've been taught through my life. That's the only thing attitude that you can have that you can actually do something with – versus trying to control things that are outside of what you can control.”

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev’s product philosophy: “One screen. One Button. One core action.” The first version of Robinhood was actually a social trading app. “[It] allowed you to create a profile, follow other people, rate stocks, upvote news, private messaging,” Vlad explains. But the founders quickly realized that all these features just led to a muddled product. He advises founders to learn from this mistake: “Don’t throw the kitchen sink into an app. Make something super simple. Get down to the essence — one screen, one button, one core action. And build from there.” Vlad and his co-founder then built an entirely new version of the app and focused on doing just one thing better than anybody else: trading stocks from your phone. And they ignored everything else. At the time of this interview, Robinhood was valued at more than a billion dollars and Vlad admits that they still didn’t even have a web platform.
