How I'm growing my IG account past 100k (instagram.com/mindofastoic) with a simple combination of @placidapp (image generation) @airtable (content) and @integromat (scheduling)
Here's how it works 🧵
The @webflow experts program has turned into a spam cesspool.
You'll get emails with a new project request, only to click in to discover it's some bot trying to sell you something. You can't even flag these as spam within Webflow.

i have a lot to say about these ads but holy fucking shit… this might be the most tasteful & brutal takedown of a category leader i’ve ever seen. & during the fucking super bowl? insane.
usually these things almost always fall flat (see: slack “welcoming” microsoft teams with a fucking newspaper ad & how cringe that was), but this one lands dead center.
even normies will clock the subtlety. the capturing of chatgpt’s drift in personality, tone, & vibes is absolutely unreal. almost surgical. normal ppl i know make fun of how chatgpt talks.
imo openai made themselves vulnerable here by simply trying to do so much (enterprise, codex, consumer, etc) & lacking a singular cohesive narrative other than they have 800m users. like even google is taking shots about openai being forced to run ads.
anyway i’ll post more but this was an absolute master class (i have posted about how openai competitors should handle their ads play, & this is a great start). also i would not count anthropic out of the consumer race yet (they have a lot of room to grow & even potentially acquire small startups).
I've been on a bit of a photo book hunt lately, and discovering Saul Leiter has been the best part.

I feel like an absolute outlier compared to what the reviews say about these Sony XM6, but they are the most uncomfortable headphones I've ever used.
Anyone else lean on the spacebar to control 90% of their tasks?

I'm going to miss some of these quirky MacOS app icons as everything gets more simplified.
Seeing how people would break out of the container was always interesting, but it obviously doesn't scale too well on a system level.
I'm generally optimistic, but I'm getting some serious vista vibes when the glass effect is used in big chunks.

I finally sat down and wrote ~2,000 words about what made Honk feel ‘honkish’, along with 40+ visual examples. Enjoy! benji.org/honkish
