I personally think this is awesome and a charmingly weird way to convene people. I launched my long-germinating app, which is strangely parallel to yours in big ways (peeps.biz), a couple of weeks ago. I think especially with vibecoding, getting recognized/paid attention to is damn near impossible. I think consistency in marketing has to be there as does going out IRL to promote the site. (I’m not doing either het, but I still think it’s true.)

Anyhow, congrats on the app and keep pushing. I think it’s unique.

I really love the tone you have for this product. I also vibecoded a thing (much more niche--https://peeps.biz/about) and felt the freedom to inject my own tone on it because it's personal. These apps/services are feeling more like zines or an indie band than a company seeking world domination or VC investment, and I think that's pretty neat.

Man, I thought I was putting in work by doing the lessons from the book (which is INCREDIBLE) with my 1st grader…way to go above and beyond!

This honestly very cool and I’m going to pass along to some of the literacy teachers in our district. Thank you!

Even though it’s in project instructions to use verifiable sources, Claude still makes things up for me.

So after it spits something out I paste: “ Are you 100% sure that every story, quote, fact, and source is accurate and verifiable?”

It then fesses up and asks if I want to rewrite with only verifiable things. I say yes, it does, and so far that seems to work!

This is just a fascinating outcome of some public policy.

Confusing that the article has different numbers on the wealth gap than the source material:

“Working-class union households hold nearly four times as much median wealth ($201,240) as the typical working-class nonunion household ($52,221), suggesting that membership vastly increases wealth for working-class families.”

This is a very good idea.

Have been thinking about this article since last week. It’s so smart and intriguing. Obsessed.
