Jeeez @asmartbear.com - that is one hell of an opener to a book. I rarely comment on books like yours but I was instantly struck by it. You nailed the founder mind at 4am. 👏👏👏👏

Having released my daughter’s song on SoundCloud a few weeks ago, it seems odd to see 0 plays from North America? Yet 350 plays from elsewhere. Is that common with SoundCloud?

I’ve been songwriting with my daughter and we released a track on SoundCloud a few days ago. It’s been getting a decent number of plays which is amazing.

So I thought I’d share a tiny behind-the-scenes bit of home recording… it’s a beautiful way to spend time together 😍

Been busy songwriting with my daughter again... 🎶🎵
Almost 250 plays in its first day!! Biased I know, but she’s amazing. 😍🤯🚀

Social Parasite
This is my second song - it’s about trying to fit in to the fake standards set by social media and trying to escape the pressure. I’m going to be releasing more music now that I’m learning more about

In the explosion age of AI why would our startup, Debriefer, be doubling down on the seemingly mundane world of Forms?!

Well, we believe they are one of the most overlooked yet best implementations of agents today.

It started 2 years ago building digital twins 🤖👯

I’m working a lot with AI and have been for a few years now, but equally feel totally shit about the real world impacts on jobs and businesses affecting my friends right now.

I don’t feel this is being spoken about enough right now. It’s very, very real and it genuinely affects families. 😕

Just listened to the @thepanel.bsky.social as I only heard half on Friday. Just wondering if anyone has listened to Benedict Evans on Lenny's Podcast? If not, I'd definitely recommend it.

Would love to hear your thoughts

So um. I managed to finish and launch my first podcast using Sidebar! 🏆

It’s not perfect but I’m in a habit now of recording daily and trying to just improve a bit day by day.

Lots of bugs fixed in usesidebar.app but this is the best update. Turn any section of your daily voice notes or your entire podcast into a themed, subtitled video for social media.

Lots of polish has been added to ensure music beds correctly, text syncs correctly without killing memory etc.

Hey, 👋 I’m looking for iOS TestFlight beta testers for my new app Sidebar.

If you’ve ever thought you could have a podcast but just never started, got stopped before you started, then this is for you…
Sidebar: A podcast from your voice notes
Talk for a few minutes a day. Sidebar stitches your voice notes into a polished, scheduled podcast: mastered, intro'd, outro'd, ready to share.

Scary 😳 The first week of my FIRST EVER podcast is done and I’ll try and get it published over the weekend. It has been a lot of fun and learning as well as habit building. I know it won’t be great but I’m also keen to just ship it and improve. Wish me luck 🤞

If this brings back a fuzzy feeling you’re going to love building with AI.

Anyone fancy taking a look at the landing page for my new app and letting me know if you get it?

Yup, I've been back on Claude. Introducing Sidebar - an app that I have wanted for ages. Daily voice notes that can be turned into a weekly podcast all from the phone in a standardised structure. Aiming for blog as a pod (but "plogging" isn't a nice word).

TestFlight launching this week!

Wahoo! Tickets booked. Just (almost) a year to go… 🥳

This is particularly interesting. There are so many issues in the ways we are currently building and I think this frames the problems really well. The one issue is that I’d love to move beyond the slack ui too…
