I’ve been seeing more AI coding (vibecoding) commentary on the feed lately, but I notice most people just talk about one tool or another. I think the best flow is to sync with your version control (git) but leverage multiple tools. Then you can take advantage of rate limits rather than have them take advantage of you 😊 Google Antigravity + Claude Code 🚀 AI Coding Tips (Hybrid Workflow & Adding Authentication Example) https://youtu.be/yMJcHcCbgi4

What do you think about value aggregation coins? I'm looking for practical commentary on the distinction between writer coins & creator coins. @paragraph provides the option to introduce a writer coin that is a level above "post coins" (individual post tokens). I've seen lots of negative commentary on creator coins, so I'm wondering if people have positive experiences with the writer token of paragraph. My gut says that a writer level token that connects/aggregates value from individual post tokens is a better value flow for supporters & writers: 1) if you think a particular post is a banger, buy the post token to support the writer (short term speculation) 2) if you think the writer has long-term value, buy the writer token (long term speculation). My current flow is publish to website (web1) --> push to substack (web2) --> push to paragraph (web3) --> coin? 🤔 Do you have thoughts on the use of coins for writing? I'm working on restructuring my writing flow between my website, substack, and paragraph, so I would appreciate any input or anecdotes. My goal is to enable better monetization for myself to justify writing more, but also enable supporters to share in the upside of my (hopefully) valuable writing, especially as I continue to get a flood of newsletter subscribers from YouTube.

What is the next stage of crypto social? 👀 I’ve been trying to step back into fc over the past few weeks, but I end up here for only a few minutes each time before losing interest. I used to step into tech conversations & philosophical discussions, art & creativity; there still is some of that, but it seems less. I muted some keywords related to trading and that helped improve my feed immensely, but I still feel as though there is something missing from the next stage of this app (and crypto social in general). I see lots of talk about creator coins, usually negative, with positive ones being muted because of my trading keywords (meaning it’s likely pure talk about flipping/pumping, rather than philosophy). Social media economics is, with the exception of YouTube (imo) completely broken, so the thought of introducing more opportunities for value creators/artists/educators (whatever you call yourselves) is exciting to me, one of the main reasons I’ve been exploring crypto & identity since 2017. I would love to hear some updates on creator economics being enabled by crypto, either pros or cons, ideally with some examples that don’t involve people who are directly involved with the platform or already have 50,000+ followers. Any resources are appreciated too 🫡

Many people have been asking me how to build apps with payment integration (like Stripe) so I put together a full walkthrough demonstrating how to get an e-commerce website set up. With no code, it took me about 15 minutes to get the app planned, built, tested, deployed, & connected to Stripe 🤯 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uS-VOqZ_tM The tool I used is Mocha, by @pushix, and I have to say that I think it's one of the most beginner friendly AI-powered app building tools I've ever used. It's also free to try (link below) ✨ Let me know if you have any questions! https://www.getmocha.com/?utm_source=Wanderloots

Always surreal (& encouraging) to see 500+ people an hour watching a new video ☺️ I’ve been personally loving Antigravity for building & testing apps, including integrating other coding agents like Claude Code to extend my building time/power Hope it helps!

None of my videos had ever hit 100,000 views… until last night, when TWO videos hit 100k within 2 minutes of each other 🤯 Kind of a strange coincidence (and feeling) but I’m very grateful for the support on this series ✨ Thanks to everyone for watching and learning!

How do people balance different niche interests while building their personal brand? It always seems difficult to maintain alignment with an audience when my own interests fluctuate regularly 🤔 Example: I’ve been building a YouTube channel where I talk about personal knowledge management using obsidian for note taking. Lately, I’ve been exploring Ai coding tools and app building, the videos for which have been performing well, now making up over 50% of my audience. But I’d also like to explore concepts of consciousness and get back into writing more, leading to PKM and obsidian. I’d be curious to hear people’s thoughts/experiences ✨

Two months ago I began dabbling in coding with js and html. I built a web app and some obsidian plugins. A month ago I began building with python to explore ai agents Today, I’m beginning to learn rust and solidity to add a blockchain component to my project The state of ai code assistants is mind blowing🤯
