u/Exact_Importance_507

I was on a call with my nani and realised i understand like 70% of what she says but cant reply in bhojpuri to save my life lol and its not just me, half my cousins are the same. i know bhojpuri is very differently spoken everywhere, nani is from Sivan (Bihar) her style if of there.

We the younger gen all speak this weird hindi-english khichdi and the actual ghar ki bhasha is just... dying with the older gen.

Tried looking for apps to learn it but couldn’t find any. duolingo has irish and hawaiian but not bhojpuri.

Like i would srsly pay extra for an app that taught this properly, even if its a standardized version.

is there an online solution for this?

Question from someone in-house brand side and not agency side. We get deliverables back, like 15 versions of one ad, different hooks, different lengths, square vs vertical, and it's many x faster than our in-house editor would do manually, and with ai it seems to have gotten even faster.

Are they just throwing multiple junior editors at it 12 hrs a day, or is there is some automoation / tools we’re not aware of yet?

I’m not saying diet soft drinks, sugar substitutes, or zero-calorie products are automatically bad. What I find interesting is how the conversation seems to stop the moment something is labeled zero calories.

People will scrutinize a regular cold drink, but often treat the diet version as if it’s unquestionably healthy simply because the calories disappeared. It feels like fewer calories slowly became good for you in a lot of people’s minds.

Are you one of those people for whom zero-calorie drinks
are guilt-free?

She's turning 7, finally getting her own room, she keeps saying "pink and princess" because thats what her friends have but i know shes gonna outgrow that in 3-4 yrs and we'll be redoing the whole thing.

Trying to find some middle ground, something that feels like her room today but ages with her over the next 5-6 yrs. Pastel walls + neutral furniture maybe? study desk that is decent looks childish + little professional too?

would love to see references / paint palettes / anyone whos done this well for a kid that age.

I was reading in pratham mittals latest nl abt the US reportedly blocked access to Fable, Sridhar Vembu (Zoho founder) said that we’re entering a world where advanced technology is no longer globally available by default. It got me thinking. For years, developers everywhere had access to the same internet, same cloud services, and increasingly the same AI tools. A student in India could build with the exact models being used by a startup in San Francisco.

That assumption is being challenged. How do developers, founders, and builders here see it?

Also you think this is a part of the Trump migraine or the beginning of a more fragmented and unequal internet?

PROMPT:

Build a document management and e-signature app for a business.

Core features: (1) a document library with folders, search, and version history, (2) an upload-and-prepare flow placing signature and date fields on a document, (3) a signing flow where recipients sign in order and receive the completed copy, (4) a dashboard of documents pending, signed, and expiring. Sample data: a fictional business with documents and several signing requests. Design: clean document aesthetic, white content area, slate sidebar, deep-blue accent, a tidy document library with folders, a prepare view for dropping signature fields, a clear signing flow with recipient order, readable tables, monospaced numerals for counts, status pills for draft, sent, and signed, rounded cards, summary metric cards, and a satisfying confirmation when all recipients have signed and the completed, sealed document is stored in the library and shown as signed on the dashboard for the business.

This works best on emergent, currently testing on claude and other builders.

Genuine question because I'm noticing the same 4 industries show up everywhere, across countries I have visited because of my Tetr college, and they’re so saturated that anything you'd build in those spaces is already crowded.

What are the quiet growth industries? The ones where you talk to a founder in the space and they're growing 40% year-over-year, and Twitter has zero takes on them?

A few i've been digging into:

1/ specialized lab equipment / scientific instrumentation

2/ waste management & recycling logistics (incredibly unsexy, growing fast)

3/ aftermarket auto parts in emerging markets

4/ b2b infrastructure for industries everyone takes for granted (insurance, freight, agri)

My neighbour just did her kitchen last year via a local vendor, and I thought I’d get some ideas on what to do for mine. However, I noticed that all the white edge bands on her upper cabinets are already this faded cream-yellow.

Found that this can be easily avoided by getting better quality acrylic edge bands rather than PVC, costs a bit more but worth it i think. PS - I'm going ahead with Royal Touche Advantage

Is acrylic really better here?

Researching for our first home renovation and the designer brought up "ceiling laminates" as an alternative to false ceiling + paint. Never heard of this before. asked a few friends, half didn't know it existed, the other half were skeptical ("won't it fall off?").

Did some digging:

It is basically laminate sheets bonded to the ceiling surface (either directly or onto a false ceiling) for a wood-look ceiling without the cost or maintenance of real wood paneling.

Brands that explicitly market for ceiling use: royale touche has 0.8mm options listed specifically for ceiling applications. greenlam has it under speciality laminates. most other brands you'd have to ask the dealer.

What I still don't know:

- weight: at 0.8mm is it stable on a ceiling without sagging over 5+ years?
- adhesive: what holds it up given gravity is working against you 24/7?
- humidity: does monsoon make the bond weaker?
- repair: if one panel fails, can you replace just that section?

Anyone actually living under a laminate ceiling?

Shipping passkeys / biometric login on web next week. dev environment works fine, demos work fine, the docs make it look like a 2-hour integration. I don't trust any of that.
what actually breaks once real users hit it?
