what if security coins were allowed and we collectively protected consumers with a protocol for staking on security coins?

“onchain” can be an adjective or an adverb but not a noun

frames icon on web and mobile should be the same: 🌐 vs. squares
for me, coding with ai has gotten rid off all the parts of programming that were annoying and mindless and kept all the parts that are fun and mindful

building /nash, a new way to get anything done with AI

this week we:

* moved LLM↔MCP orchestration local-server-side, which means a simpler electron app focused on rendering
* hammered it with real-world tests to ensure it handles tool usage and extended conversations
* created launch video storyboards
i switched to wilson clash rackets and my arm has felt great ever since.

if you’ve had issues with tennis elbow, they’re worth a try.

2 weeks ago, we reimagined nash as a dead-simple client on top of an mcp server.

you start where you already do ai, then graduate to our ui for more power.

this week, we built a mac app aiming to replace chatgpt / claude desktop. and we finally got apple dev approval—payment still "processing"

with how ai is going, we're heading for idea guy summer
if there were a vegan version of "hot ones", i would be great at it
as farcaster true believers, we must go on a pilgrimage to singapore to fully understand the metaphor
the apple developer program org verification process is out of control. endless delays.

if you write EST, i will switch it to EDT.

or simply opt out of the daylight savings rat race entirely with ET.

"adversarial vibe coding"

it's not just about changing your code to work how you want it today.

you also need to set up new cursor rules to reduce the chance that other vibe coders will undo your changes.
here’s an ai summary of what the pink tribe’s been saying about tonight’s vote

marketing isn’t separate from product—it’s an extension of it.

the experience starts long before someone signs up and doesn’t end after they do.

great marketing is just a wider lens on great product design.
1. write your docs in markdown
2. build the docs to show to humans
3. lllmstxt scraper turns them back into markdown

(unless you use mintlify)

now nash has an MCP (model context protocol) server, and it might just be the last MCP you'll ever need

short week—here’s what we shipped:

* built a nash project that creates an nft on base sepolia, via vibe-prompting (minimal effort)
* when using AI to modify a project, now it makes better use of 3rd party api docs
* fixed AI code-writing bugs
* onboarded users and sent out a bunch of invites
building /nash

now nash can write code for you, and you can test it with one click!

also shipped this week:
* reimagined tools, now open source
* new API endpoints for tools—push notifications, emails, farcaster data, and onchain data
* easy project version history and AI prompt tracking
the era of SDKs is about to end.

with LLM-optimized docs, AI-generated code can directly call any API in any language—no pre-built boilerplate needed.
/dev
before:

1. design in figma
2. build in vs code
3. learn

now:

1. create in cursor
2. learn

building /nash

this week we shipped the nash prompt sidebar—heavily inspired by cursor's composer feature

it lets you easily change the behavior of your agents

another big step toward delivering the "cursor for everyone else"

"this is cool in its worst form"

^ how you know you're on to something
in legacy software, AI is a ✨magic button✨ tucked away in a corner, an afterthought.

in AI-first products, it’s the default action, built into every primary CTA.
in a post-cursor world, what used to be a business intelligence dashboard built with metabase is now a custom next.js admin dashboard
ai frameworks are like ORMs in a way

they’re OTMs

an ORM maps objects to relational data

an OTM maps objects to text

my job:

using AI to make an app that lets you use AI to make AI assistants
building /nash

this week, we tackled one of the toughest challenges our users faced—creating a new project from scratch. now, with one prompt, our AI drafts your configuration automatically.

plus, we onboarded another group of users over zoom—and it confirmed we're building something people want!
building /nash

this week we:

* announced nash on farcaster
* fixed bugs in our invite flow
* set up a one-week free trial feature
* built spotify tools
* created ai agents to give us product analytics on nash usage (see below)
https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/06562c3b-c85c-4f3b-a5a3-0ecb72a1ef00/original
we built AI agents that monitor new product launches on farcaster

yesterday, those agents picked up our own announcement about the very app we used to build them 😎
