I wanted to gift Spotify Premium and realized there’s no simple way to do it, or more so kind of awkward.

I’m validating Cover. Buy a subscription for someone’s else. They use it on their own account. No passwords or privacy compromise required.

Basically what did you use to vibe create your demo video? Or did you hire someone to create a high end motion graphics? Or did you just screen record it.

And if you can, share your demos.

I’ve always wanted to start content creation (not the setup a camera and yap kind), just educational/ news content and build an audience. I started copying other people’s content that already worked and recreated it with Canva in my own brand and voice. That’s really it, dub someone else’s classwork. I know it sounds unethical or unfair, but It works. (don’t hate the player, game is game.)

It was painful repeating that process tho, I tried a few flows in N8N connected with apify, results were horrid. But at least I knew it worked. Wired things up and created convenience in an app that watched for latest posts on accounts that I’m inspired by and automatically created my own version. That’s it, your algorithm already gives you what works on a platter.

Worth clarifying, it’s not actually copying someone else’s posts. It’s copying that the format or trend works, then expressing it in your own voice.

You can try it yourself and share feedback if you have any: Mirro

Cheers!

Content creation isn’t the hard part anymore. The hard part is knowing what to create.

You can open Canva and make something beautiful in 20 minutes. But what do you make it about? That blank page problem… writer’s block? Designer’s block? Call it whatever you want. It’s the real problem, at least for me.

But here’s the thing, if a post made it into your feed and you engaged with it, it already proved something. Right audience, right format, right moment. The algorithm is already giving you your tribe on a platter. I just borrowed that proof and started expressing it in my own voice.

Here’s what I used to do: scroll my feed, screenshot posts that performed well, open Canva, and manually recreate them in my own style. It worked. But I hated doing it.

I decided to automate the process. Originally made to mirror Instagram posts, now expanded to any source, including news RSS feeds.

If you’ve felt this same friction or just you’d like to give it a try: Mirro

For those that do post cards, are mailers actually converting for you guys? Or at least some decent ROI. I’m trying to do something similar, and I’ve read somewhere that they have a decent conversion rate of about 3%. If you’re currently running mailer campaigns, i want to hear your current strategy.

Storm data seems like the go-to for most field sales, but what do you use when there hasn’t been a recent storm in your area? Curious how people stay busy in between weather events. I’m actually trying to solve this differently (or probably not) by filtering a city of 100,000 homes down to the ~500 that actually need roof work using aerial imagery, so canvassing actually makes sense. Looking to augment it with some more field ideas. If you’re also in the same boat, send your zip code if you want to see what it surfaces for your territory. Happy to help.

I’ve been trying to understand why this is so addictive because it doesn’t even feel like it’s about the content anymore.
At least for me, I think part of it is the randomness. You genuinely don’t know what the next scroll is going to be. Sometimes it’s something hilarious, disturbing, insanely relatable, super niche, unexpectedly insightful, or just complete nonsense. And weirdly, that unpredictability itself becomes addictive, it’s entertainment at its core.

I keep seeing people joke about this on Instagram too:
“you never know what your next scroll might be” it’s funny, but also kind of true. You scroll after seeing something odd just to see what other oddity comes next. The worry isn’t actually the contents but how time flies by doing absolutely nothing just to be in your social light.

It feels like one of the most effective psychological loops social media companies have ever engineered. Curious what other people think actually keeps them scrolling.

Also would appreciate any research papers/articles on this topic if anyone has good ones.

I got stuck in a meeting recently with an older version of what i have currently, and it was transcribing gibberish. Honest note to self: always use your own tools rigorously. I ended up downloading another notetaker to get through it, but I felt a new kind of pain, nothing feels more embarrassing than scrambling for answers to a question you get asked during a meeting or interview lol.

I went on to rebuild it again from scratch. Making it a live transcription tool that reacts to the conversation in real-time while also taking accurate notes (yes, regardless of your accent). It’s a live assistant that listens to your meetings in real time, surfaces answers as the conversation happens, and actually remembers what was said in your last five calls.
A few things that were a major focus:

• Accuracy: Major point of the rebuild. It uses a local voice model so at worst you'd get a 90% accuracy.
• It auto-starts when you join a meeting so you never forget to take notes. Also, real-time answers in meetings with knowledge of previous sessions.
• Privacy: It’s all local, so no awkward bots joining your Zoom. All sessions also get saved to your preferred storage option, local or cloud.

It's basically a heads-up display for your calls. If you're still in search for an accurate and personalized note taker, you should definitely give this a run. Link in comments.
