Author here - yeah that makes sense. A real example would def make it clearer - I'll add one. Thanks for the suggestion!

Author here โ€“ fair point! I can def see how it could've used more explanation. I'll update the post - appreciate the heads-up!

Author here, good point! I should have mentioned that MCP was created by Anthropic but is seeing wider adoption.

Appreciate the feedback - brb I'll update the post to include this!

This weekend I had a 24-hour hackathon on Twitter and built BoozyBlend

Basically, I wanted a cocktail with the ingredients at home and came up with the idea to build an AI bartender that could give you suggestions on what cocktail to make based on your preferences.

I'm using GPT-3 to generate cocktail recipes and cocktail names. Let me know what cocktails you get!

What if we could make marketing more like a game?

Imagine being rewarded for your creativity and hard work.

I like writing my daily habits down on paper.

It makes it more real and tangible.

I'm excited to relaunch the app I built during the first lockdown in San Francisco with new features (save, edit, duplicate your custom trackers).

Would love your feedback on this new take

Every Monday, I write a newsletter with 3 product ideas with expired .com domains.

Most domains get taken, but here are a few favorites that are still expired and ready to get scooped up.

How good is your SaaS business idea? I built a super simple tool to evaluate your big ideah and would love any feedback and thoughts on how you assess if to pursue all the ideas that pop up.

How good is your SaaS business idea? I've built a super simple tool to evaluate if all the ideas that pop up in my mind are worth pursuing/building.

I would love any feedback and thoughts on how you assess if you should pursue all the ideas that pop up.

Answer 20 questions and automatically generate a PDF with a complete evaluation.

๐“๐‹๐ƒ๐‘; I trained a LinearSVC to predict good .com domains with 0.74 accuracy.

See for yourself how the model performs in action at https://DailyDomainIdeas.com or @DomainIdeaDaily on Twitter, or feel free to read the medium post for more details on the process I used.

I love product ideas (shiny object syndrome), and I'm coming up with new ideas almost daily.

So 1 month ago, I decided to daily publish ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ single idea that popped up as a side project.

As I started to publish all the domain ideas, I thought that "this would definitely be possible to automate with machine learning."

So I did.

I love ideas, and I always felt that a domain could be your business inspiration.

Do you need inspiration for your next business or side project?

I built DailyDomainIdeas.com, where I daily share one new idea for an available .com domain.

Seen this startup acquisition marketplace? https://microacquire.com/
How do you develop self-discipline and track daily routines without using an app?

I wanted an offline habit-building tracker, so I built one - meet Youtine /juหˆtin/

Make yourself accountable, without using an app.

Never miss an important email ever again. I needed an app that would trigger a phone call whenever I received an important email, but without giving the app full access to my mailbox.

So I built one myself, meet Wakingg; https://wakingg.com

Stop checking your email. We'll call you when you receive an important one.

Ever wanted an important email to trigger a phone call to alert you? Most services need full access to your mailbox to trigger a call. My solution is to instead set up automatic email forwards to an app that will trigger a call according to your call criteria and schedule.

Let's say you'd like a call on weekends after 5 pm if you receive an email from your manager, just simply set up forwarding rules in your email provider, and we'll give you a call once you receive an email.
