Omfg was just browsing Google Maps and found this at Mehrabad International at Tehran.

Weekly calendar view from Sunday, April 6 to Saturday, April 12 showing scheduled swim sessions at three different pools: Rossi Pool, Hamilton Pool, and NB Pool. Each day includes multiple time blocks, often overlapping, with events color-coded in purple. Most days begin with early morning sessions around 7:30–9:00 AM and continue with various sessions through the afternoon and evening, ending around 7:30 PM. The schedule is densely packed.

In case anyone wants it, SF pool schedule for North Beach, Hamilton, and Rossi (lap swim hours only). I'm swimming a lot more because of this being in gcal.

Taste is going to be the new coding. People who immerse themselves in the culture/tools/problems of their users are going to win. I tell my marketing/product friends that they’re in a solid place as long as they can keep their taste (or product intuition, or whatever you want to call it) relevant.

Studio Ghibli AI recreations are everywhere - I’ve seen a marriage proposal and baby’s birth being announced using Ghibli-stylized photos. This is DEFINITELY going to age the same way as the Snapchat dog filter of 2010s hahahaha

A list of four document tabs labeled by month, each with a document icon. The titles are "January Roadmap," "December Roadmap," "November Roadmap," and "September Roadmap"

A screenshot of a section titled "Document tabs" in a collaborative document interface. Under the "REMAINING" folder, there are three document tabs listed: "Notes" with 8 comments, "Test Plan" with 1 comment (currently selected), and "Launch plan" with 2 comments. Each tab shows a small document icon and a comment count in a grey bubble.

Google Docs having tabs has been so game changing for me! It's a big step in solving the "too many Google Docs links flying around" problem.

Shimmering loading states were such a mistake.

I had a dream that Lucasfilm announced a Star Wars show about a group of teenagers on an adventure and was severely disappointed. So pumped for Andor!!!

RemindMe! -20 years

Yesterday I was a few hundred feet away from a food truck with a charcoal grill and it was still one of the best smells I've remembered in a long time. I had such a visceral urge to take a photo of the smell. But maybe it's nice that our sense of smell hasn't been commoditized yet.

For 1:1s I've recently started using the structure of "What I'm excited about" / "What keeps me up at night" and I've had such better conversations as a result. The "what keeps me up at night" section really communicates "I care about these outcomes right now".

That flip back up to turn it off 😍

Replit is frustrating at times but damn does it save time getting a project off the ground. Handing off to Cursor then accelerates it further.

TikTok is back online let’s get swiping y’all

FYI the Fable wrap will update even if you keep adding books until the end of the year!

Lol love the Hot Take there. Glad you liked it so much!!! We put a lot of love into it.

<3 glad you liked it!!

I don't blame you, 3 apps is a lot to keep track of!! Happy to answer any questions! (Fable team member here)

Ooo interesting. I just haven’t found the need for any of their newer features. I feel like their onboarding didn’t help me really build the habit of using them.

What features has Slack launched within the last few years that you rely on?

👋 Head of Product at Fable here! What could we do better with the app?

In the past I would do this manually through a spreadsheet. I'm so excited, this will be the first year I don't know everyone's assignments ahead of time!

My weird requirements that made it easiest to use Replit:
1. Two of the SF friends don't know the people who moved away from SF, so they should only receive gifts from / give gifts to SF friends
2. Many friends are couples, they should not get each other.

Screenshot of web admin. I can add participants (name, email, checkbox of "located in SF", checkbox of "Should be assigned to someone in SF", and a dropdown for significant other. On the right there's a participant list with names and emails blurred. Below is a "Generate assignments" button.

We're on the verge of an explosion in bespoke software development for niche use cases. Just set up Secret Santa assignments for my friend group using the Replit AI agent. It created a web app that allowed me to add friends, then it generated assignments and emailed everyone with their assignment.

Screenshot of hourly precipitation forecast. There’s a sun icon with a down arrow for 4:53pm.

I get what the Biden administration is going for with this, but jeez they focus on a lot of trivial stuff 😭

Screenshot of White House tweet. Our Administration finalized a rule to make it as easy to cancel a subscription as it was to sign up – saving families time, money, and hassle. Image alt text The Biden-Harris Administration has finalized a rule to make it easier to cancel subscriptions and memberships Steps to cancel a membership - Tap on your profile icon at the bottom of the screen - Tap on 'Account Settings' - Scroll down and tap 'Manage Membership and Subscriptions' - Click 'Subscriptions' - Select the 'Update, Cancel, or More' option - Tap 'End Membership' - Finally canceled Under the Biden-Harris Administration's new rule - Click to cancel subscription - Successfully canceled!

This is so misleading. Eliminating the first four steps implies subscription apps will soon be required to have a Cancel button on the default tab of the app.

Go generate your Shelfie over at fable.co/shelfie! We just dropped this new feature today.
