Wow, this may be my aha! moment of crypto:

- Started casting again, earned some USDC from tips and rewards
- Visit Japan, need esim
- See @kartik's eSIM mini app
- Pay with usdc from Warpcast wallet and it worked instantly!

It was as easy as paying with Apple Pay. I loved it

Worked on a small mini app over the weekend - buy data eSIMs with crypto!

The prices are cheaper than industry standard for most countries. Check it out and would love any feedback!

I've been loving homestays in Japan, highly recommend it.

It's a great way to experience the normal life and so far all the homestays I've tried had cats! Current one has 4 of them :)

I've been maxing out o3 usage everyday and was excited for o4, but it's been very underwhelming.

Am I missing something?

Does anyone know of an automated testing framework for UI, where I can just specify the tests in natural language?

Example: โ€œVisit the pricing page and make sure prices show up?โ€

Would have to be LLM powered obviously. Open source or hosted is fine
I feel like the channels Iโ€™m following are not as active as they used to be

LLMs tend to be guilty of heavy confirmation bias, trying to go along with what you say.

To get around this, I use this prompt when I get stuck:

Can you summarize what I'm trying to do, then explain to me a better structure to achieve it? I want to follow best practice and this doesn't feel like it is.

If you are early revenue and are optimizing how fast your pages load, you are focused on the wrong thing

What's currently the best MCP / agent framework? Want to build a simple agent that

- ๐Ÿค– Listens on discord / slack and applies some changes in spreadsheet
- ๐Ÿ“ฌ Support bot that talks to users via chatbox (e.g. Crisp)

I want the action space to prevent agent from going outside of scope
/dev
I've now "tried" 6 CRMs and here's my TL;DR for new founders new to sales, from worst to best:

- ๐Ÿคฎ Salesforce: Horrible UX, insane pricing
- ๐Ÿ˜ฆ Hubspot: Very limited features unless you pay big
- ๐Ÿ˜• Clay: Nice UI, but super limited functionality; no deals / sales
- ๐Ÿ˜ Zoho: Good for emails, free tier pretty good, CRM was hard to use
- ๐Ÿ™‚ Close: Similar UX and features as Attio, but need Zappier for slack / discord
- ๐Ÿ˜ Attio: Powerful workflows, clean UI/UX, seems scalable and reasonably priced

Struggling with the lack of vegetables in Japan. I'm used to having a lot of veggies with my meals

Any tips?

Thinking might just buy some at the groceries and make myself some salads here and there

This is going to be a silly question butโ€ฆ why do I need ETH to tip with my USDC ๐Ÿ˜ข? Can we not pay fees in USDC?
Someone should be a service where you can sell your unused LLM prompts.

Everyone pays $20-$30 a month for using LLMs, but very few utilize their entire limit. Allow them to sell it back to others

Probably against ToS tough ๐Ÿ˜…
Need some advice.

Iโ€™ve tried maybe 4 different CRMs and they are either very hard to use or super expensive for early stage.

Any suggestions? Doing everything in google sheet right now after ditching HubSpot

Building a good looking CLI was way easier than expected! Only took me a few hours. I used:

While GPT 4.5 is indeed better than 4, it's going to get much harder to notice significant improvements going forward. Had to interact a lot with it to get a feel of its strengths

Reasoning models still best for coding though
I was pretty surprised to see how many native web3 SaaS companies didn't support crypto payments, so I wrote a blog post about my experience integrating @loopcrypto

If you already support Stripe, it should take you less than a day:

Silly question, but how does one search / browse existing frames? I like the UX for searching cast actions, but can't find the equivalent for frames
In need of new people or channels to follow, any suggestions welcomed! I like tech, products, politics, games, books, learning new things
Tech founders, how long did it take for you to make your first $1000 in revenue? From starting your business, not from when you had an MVP
