The greatest thing you can do to improve confidence and self esteem is to to improve your neck posture. When your neck is out of allignment for 90-95% of the day - arteries,veins and nerves in the neck can become easily compressed - such a person feels anxious, insecure and is always worried about what others think about them. You can improve your neck posture by doing the following 3 things: -Strengthen your neck muscles -Imagine a string is attached to your head and is pulling your head -Stop clenching your upper abs muscles Doing these things consistently will change absolutely everything

THE ULTIMATE MOBILE APP STACK I’ve tried 200+ software tools this year (not exaggerating). This is everything I’ve landed on for making mobile apps. It’s made building faster and easier. Nearly all of these have generous free plans btw. ⸻ FRONTEND Expo – Simplifies building and deploying React Native apps → expo.dev/ Nativewind – Tailwind for React Native. Make your app look pretty → nativewind.dev/ RN Reanimated – Lightweight animations for mobile → docs.swmansion.com/react-nat… LottieFiles – Lightweight visuals → lottiefiles.com/ ⸻ BACKEND Convex – My favorite backend ever. It's so good. Database, crons, functions → convex.dev/referral/NATHAN31… Clerk – Easy, reliable auth. (May switch to Convex Auth soon though) → clerk.com/ Resend – Handles transactional + marketing emails. Pairs well with Convex → resend.com/ OpenAI – For AI features. Works great with Convex → platform.openai.com/docs/ove… ⸻ MARKETING Vercel + NextJS – For app landing pages. Faster iteration than Framer if you have a good vibe coding workflow → vercel.com/ Apple Search Ads – Low-hanging fruit marketing to acquire customers → ads.apple.com/app-store Sanity – CMS for blog posts. Integrates cleanly with NextJS → sanity.io/ Pallyy – My favorite social scheduling tool after testing many → pallyy.com/?via=nathan Screen Studio – Awesome screen recordings of your computer and your phone → screenstudio.lemonsqueezy.co… Meta Ads – Best paid channel so far. Make sure to use an MMP like Singular (see below). Organic Social – Most of my subscribers have been coming from X, LinkedIn, IG, and TikTok. ⸻ DEVELOPMENT Cursor – I use the $200/mo plan. Totally worth it. I used to use Claude Code too but I've found Cursor alone suffices → cursor.com/ Figma – For branding + visuals (I build app UIs directly with AI, not in Figma btw) → figma.com/ Willow Voice – Mac speech-to-text app to prompt AI faster → willowvoice.com/?ref=NCOVEYA… Ebb – Blocks distracting sites on Mac → ebb.cool/ ⸻ PAYMENTS RevenueCat – Simplifies App Store subscriptions + paywalls → revenuecat.com/ ⸻ ANALYTICS PostHog – Best analytics platform by far. Generous free tier → posthog.com/ Singular – For ad attribution. Preferred over AppsFlyer + Adjust → singular.net/ AppTweak – For App Store Optimization (ASO). Basically SEO for App Store → apptweak.com/ Sentry – Mentioning this reluctantly. Works for now, but switching once PostHog adds error tracking for React Native. ⸻ Well there ya go. I think some underestimate how much the right tools matter. They’re not everything, but they make a difference. Lmk if I missed anything. (p.s. some of these include my referral link. I only share what I truly believe in. Thx for the support!)

every viral app is built on one of these pain points

Here's the best tech stack for vibe coding your first app Each are easy to use and have a free tier If you've never built an app before, take this list, give it to your AI of choice and you'll be set: Web framework: NextJS Database: Supabase Authentication: Clerk Payments: Stripe Styling: Tailwind 3D assets: ThreeJS AI API: logic- Tough tasks: GPT5, cheap tasks Claude Haiku Emails: Resend AI app I use to build it all: Claude Code Copy and paste that stack into an AI, give it an idea for an app (or ask it to brainstorm ideas for you) then say start building. You'll get V1 of your app 0 technical experience needed for this Any questions let me know!

Running Claude Code isn’t just about opening the terminal and typing the perfect prompt. (Bookmark this post for later) There are environment variables that can influence how Claude Code runs, connects to models, and even how its interface behaves. 🧵 Here’s a thread with all of them organized by category:

Anthropic doesn’t want you to know but you can Self-host LLM like Qwen and use it in Claude Code for free

This guy literally leaks how to actually code with AI

cursor just made every $200/hour dev shop look like a clown dropped composer 2.0 yesterday with agentic browser built in what used to take 8 devs and 3 weeks now takes 8 AI agents running parallel in 30 seconds and they TEST THEIR OWN CODE in a native browser while coding bootcamps are charging $15K to teach you react, cursor's teaching AI to: → write code 4x faster than gpt-5 → run 8 versions simultaneously to pick the best one → test in chrome devtools without leaving the IDE → iterate on bugs until they're actually fixed → plan with one model, build with another the entire "hire a dev team" industry is sweating some startup just replaced 3 junior devs ($450K/year) with cursor pro ($240/year) that's a 99.9% cost reduction for better output the intelligence gap between "we staffed up our eng team" and "we deployed cursor 2.0" is getting stupid most companies still paying $150K/year for developers to do what this does for $20/month chatgpt atlas? cooked dia and comet? obsolete traditional dev shops? praying you don't find out about this comment "COMPOSER" and i'll send the full breakdown of how to replace half your dev costs with 8 parallel agents your competition is still hiring. time to bury them.

British journalist Peter Hitchens has been covering Russia for 47 years. He’s a critic of Vladimir Putin so nobody can say he’s "echoing Putin’s talking points.” Hitchens writes: “You’ve been fed a steady diet of propaganda rubbish about Ukraine and the invented Russian menace.” In Daily Mail Op-Ed, Hitchens said he learned long ago that governments lie and get mainstream corporate media to lie for them. “It is what they do,” he writes, and yet seldom has he seen such a cloud of lies as we face about the war in #Ukraine: “Seldom in history has a war been more provoked.” Hitchens reminds us that all Russians, including Alexander Solzhenitsyn, had been shocked and angered when, in 1999, under the leadership of Bill Clinton, NATO launched bombing strikes on Serbia, which had not attacked a NATO member. That same year, despite James Baker’s “not one inch to the East” pledge to Gorbachev, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland joined NATO - putting #NATO on Russia's doorstep. And Hitches points out that Britain’s MI6 and the CIA had been working on regime change in Ukraine since early 2000. In 2014, Ukraine’s democratically elected president Viktor Yanukovych was toppled by the Western intelligence agencies and a local mob. Hitchens concluded, "You just can’t do that and pretend to be the guardians of democracy." [In other words, Team Biden’s “plucky little democracy” was little more than a tool of the NATO gambit to destabilize, overextend, and weaken Russia - now stronger than ever.]

My favorite way to learn is now uploading a bunch of source material to AI and then doing this: “Help me understand this paper step by step. Go from high level (simple explanations) to incredibly low-level, detailed technical explanations until I understand it. Do not advance without confirming that I understand each step with a quiz question first.” It has not failed me once. It’s very enjoyable and easy to pause and restart.

This is how simple it is to change your life within a year. - Learn to vibe code - Build an online presence - Build a couple of simple but useful apps - Hard shill your apps daily for a few months Bonus: Teach others how to do the same lol.

dear founders, build like the clock’s running out. the window is open but it won’t stay. for the first time in history, you have free distribution from social platforms and infinite leverage from AI tools. you can reach millions without permission. the internet is handing out unfair advantages to anyone bold enough to use them so... ship before you understand it. clarity comes from commits. half your roadmap is ego, delete it. launch "ugly". talk to users every day. build what you wish existed. best ideas are the most obvious painful. go niche. no, go superniche. vertical is your moat. clarity comes from commits. half your roadmap might be ego, delete it. make ugly things until they work. share prototypes that break. kill what doesn’t grow. use AI as leverage, not decoration. test ten things before breakfast. delete your roadmap. double down on what works. design for clarity, not cleverness. brand before code. write daily. post your lessons. find your first hundred users manually. distribution is the new product. attention is the new funding. taste is the new code. build small cults. scale later. automate boring things. keep the human parts human. study why things spread. study why things die. pricing is positioning. aesthetics are trust. make people feel something. ignore haters. build in weird corners of the internet. break things publicly. pivot loudly. consistency compounds. only raise VC if you dream of going IPO one day. otherwise, cash-flow is your BFF. your network is distribution. your story is marketing. your design is psychology. ship like it’s day one. iterate like you’re behind. stay obsessed. learn faster. think longer. risk embarrassment. make noise. build the thing that keeps you up at night. money follows obsession. stay in motion. stay loud. stay building. distribution is an art form now. AI makes it easy to make things; the hard part is making things that matter. build like the world’s ending in a year but your idea has to outlive it we’re living in a window of maximum leverage and minimum permission im rooting for you. best, greg isenberg just another founder rooting for you

На днях один из клиентов (не российский) моего агентства сказал: «А что это у вас в open rate (процент открытий) в email-рассылке такой низкий — 25%. Мы считаем слабым любой результат ниже 50%». Я, конечно, лихо удивился. Email-маркетинг не моя специализация, а только маленький кусочек скоупа интересов, но весь мой опыт говорит мне: 50% для рассылки, особенно если это не какая-то нишевая контентная крафтовая штука, а старый-добрый newsletter от бренда, — это нереально. Первый, поверхностный поиск показал, откуда уши растут — в отчетах, которые публикуют email-маркетинговые сервисы — Mailchimp, Litmus, Klaviyo, MailerLite — действительно есть похожие бенчмарки. Правда, не 50%, а скорее 35-40%. Но и это мне показалось завышенным. А вот если копнуть глубже, то начинается самое интересное. Оказывается, что с конца 2021 года Apple Mail ввел систему Mail Privacy Protection (MPP) — она предварительно подгружает картинки из писем на свой прокси-сервер, включая отслеживающий пиксель — что делает львиную долю всех полученных писем автоматически «прочитанными» c точки зрения сервисов рассылки. И казалось бы, ну Apple и Apple, не у всех же Apple. Так вот, по данным тех же сервисов, через Apple Mail открывали безумные 50% писем, разосланных через Mailchimp, Litmus, Klaviyo, MailerLite — видимо, из-за огромного крена в американскую и другую западную аудиторию. На практике это означает, что если open rate 40%, то условно половина из них — 20% — приходит просто даром, «автоматом». С 2022 года цифры open rate у всех полезли вверх, а сам показатель, по мнению многих, стал совершенно бесполезным без дополнительных уточнений. Одно дело, когда у тебя 65% открытий с Apple Mail, другое — 12%, как, например, оказалось в моей рассылке (то есть у меня MPP влияет на реальные цифры минимально). Сейчас эксперты говорят, что реальные открытия без автоматических находятся на показателях до 2022 года — 18-20%, а в одной статье я нашел, что после очищения от машинных срабатываний средние цифры были даже ниже — 11-13%. Email-маркетинговые компании, кстати, не особо любят заострять внимание на MPP. Нет, прямо, конечно, не скрывают — в большинстве их статей и FAQ где-нибудь в конце есть скромные приписки (а где-то — нет). Какие-то сервисы научились исключать в статистике автоматические открытия, какие-то — нет, какие-то сделали это спустя три года. В общем, глобально им выгодно не фокусироваться на этом, а показывать хорошие цифры. Я знаю, что большая доля клиентов вчитываться не будет, а пробежится по верхам. Выводы у меня из этой истории такие: - Очень часто можно копнуть глубже и увидеть другой контекст, который перевернет ситуацию. Но большинство конечно дальше нейроответа на первой странице поиска гугла не пойдет. - Американский дефолт продолжает тянуть на себя и искажать ситуацию. Американские компании публикуют данные по (преимущественно) западным рынкам, а люди экстраполируют это до универсальной базы. В реальности рынки очень разные. - Насколько же внешние, возможно, случайные и минорные для их авторов решения могут изменить ситуацию в отдельных отраслях. Большой Apple ввел какую-то штуку, а маленькие и не самые модные email-маркетологи сказали ему спасибо за поддержание отрасли и свои годовые бонусы.
