Probably the best thing you'll see today.

In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world.

The results 🧵

if u liked dis, don't follow me bc the design concepts i normally post are far less entertaining.
this one's pulled away as the clear winner so far. who's going to build it???

not enough people are talking about the ChatGPT projects feature.

it's the most underrated AI feature and the easiest way to create specialized experts.

i used it to get in the best shape of my life.

here's how you can use it to help you achieve any goal 🧵

what are ChatGPT projects?

projects let you preload instructions and link files.

any time GPT responds to a chat within a project, it reads the instructions and files before every reply.
i've been using it for 2 months as a fitness coach.

i've lost 15 pounds, feel stronger, and have visible abs for the first time in my life. crazy.

here's a step by step process on how i turned it into a world-class coach for any goal:

These MCPs are cheat codes that make Cursor "just work."

Here's how they eliminate errors, save time, and improve your app:

(Bookmark this for later)

1. Magic MCP

Not only does it upgrade your UI and animations, it shows you a preview of variations before coding it.
Just type "/ui" in the agent chat, describe what you want (re)designed, and instantly get polished UI variations to choose from.

Simple as that. It's unreal.

And because it shows you a preview, you'll be reassured that it will get it right without a tedious back and forth.
2. Toolbox MCP

Install this MCP and type "search_servers and install" for any MCP you want. The agent will take care of the rest.

Now everything else in this thread is plug-and-play.

After thousands of hours in Cursor, I've found the perfect workflow for vibe coding with no errors.

And no, you don't need to know anything about code.

Here's everything you should do (bookmark this):

1. DO NOT tell it what to do. Image
Provide goals, not specific commands.

Unless you can code, odds are you won't know the right instruction to give the agent.

Give it a problem statement and outcomes. Then ask questions:

> How would you make this?
> What do you need from me?
> What are your blind spots?
The agent doesn't want to build an app, it wants to make you happy.

Having a dialogue and leading with questions exposes what's on the agent's mind.

It helps reveal gaps in understanding (the cause for most errors) and orient around the end-goal.

It will self-correct later.

i built an app with ZERO coding experience using AI.

it was the happiest day of my life.

here's why i don't recommend anyone doing the same.

my learnings and reflections:

🧵
for the last 657 days, i've designed at least one app or feature idea and posted it to twitter.

657 straight days, during holidays, weekends and through illness. i've had lots of ideas.

the designs have always been meant for someone else to build. because, well... i can't code.
these designs have always been prescriptions for things i personally wanted to use—apps and features i wished were real.

and every so often, my favorite app makers would make them real.

my top 10 apps on ethereum this year 🧵
2023 gave us more creative ways to use the chain. we saw a glimpse of what a thriving consumer crypto ecosystem could be.

that said, existing wallets are the status quo imo, and i've decided to exclude them to showcase what's on the horizon for meaningful crypto use cases.
the ranking criteria:

1. was it easy to use?
2. did it help me discover new things?
3. did it help me connect with others?
4. did it offer something unique and original?

these aren't universal criteria. rather, the aspects of web3 i find most promising.

i'm blown away by how creative websites from the 90s were, despite the constraints.

with slower internet speeds, websites needed to be more efficient, prioritizing function over style. but yet, they still managed to be useful and have flair.

i've curated 15 of my favorites👇🧵 Image
1/ google, 1999

the OG minimalist. once you the others below, you'll better appreciate how ahead of it's time this ux was. Image
2/ apple, 1998

heavy graphics were rare, but they figured out a way to elegantly pull off product images and intricate typography without slowing things down. Image
