Have been working on three micro-saas, all built in Elixir/Phoenix:

https://feedbun.com - a browser extension that decodes food labels and recipes on any website for healthy eating, with science-backed research summaries and recommendations.

https://rizz.farm - a lead gen tool for Reddit that focuses on helping instead of selling, to build long-lasting organic traffic.

https://persumi.com - a blogging platform that turns articles into audio, and to showcase your different interests or "personas".

rizz.farm looks interesting. reminds me a bit of origami agents. will give this a try, ironically for the app i built http://rizzi.fun

In the Claude.ai chat, this was announced to me as

    "You have reached the messages quota for your account. It will reset in 2 hours, or you can upgrade now"

Either I have perfect timing for reaching my quota limits, or some product monetization manager deserves a raise.

i ran into the same thing, i thought it was just timing

Yeah, adherence is a hard problem. It should be feeling much better in newer models, especially Opus 4.5. I generally find that Opus listens to me the first time.

Have been using Opus 4.5 and can confirm this is how it feels, it just works.

when my mom died i found a bunch of letters she wrote to people but never sent. Theres so much to peoples lives that you can never fully know and some of the things really shocked me. Appreciate you sharing your story, many parallels that I can appreciate through reading.

Love all of these tips. I've hosted dozens of events since moving to NYC and figured I'd add 5 more:

1. If this is a dinner party (or people are all seated), force people to get up and move in a way that they'll meet new people. Do this when you're about 2/3 of the way through the party. Some will complain - do it anyway.

2. Plan 1 (ideally 2) interludes. It can be a small speech, moving people around, changing locations, having people vote on something, etc. For whatever reason, they make the night more memorable.

3. Do your best to make introductions natural and low-pressure. Saying things like "you two would really get along" can put pressure on people - especially shy ones. Bring up something they have in common and let them chat while you back away.

4. Go easy on folks who cancel last minute. They often don't feel good about doing it and you don't want to add more stress to them or yourself.

5. More music != more fun. Some music is good, but if people can't hear each other, turn it down.

Get up and move is the best thing to do, there was an article on HN with the correct algorithm for this but cant find it.

Having a follow up email with everyones contact helps a ton.

I've also given people a prompt of what the question is to ask to get the convo started when people move around. Let people focus with 2-3 people listening mostly to the story of one person.

Many friendships/teams started from these tips!

I always wondered who did their marketing. Their Arc Act II video was so good I watched it a few times (https://youtu.be/WIeJF3kL5ng?si=R1fHA87355dXDuZH).

I immediately thought Sandwich made it. Some of their stuff like https://youtu.be/5GeR8XTWR3M?si=RX-NBCMicnUPw1jA is so good I just periodically watch it.

If The Browser Company folks made that video, their superpower is really marketing and you are actually correct. But I feel like it must have been an agency.

Nashilu Makoua did a lot of their storytelling and strategy, very talented.
