The latest Amie update is CRAZY dynamic. Honestly can’t tell if this is product perfection or if it’s giving me too much control. Huge respect for the creativity and execution regardless.
Never saving another screenshot to my camera roll again and it feels sooo good.
Huge s/o
@adamwhitcroft
for building my new favorite utility and letting me test this thing from day 1.
✨🚀 Introducing Empty 🥣✨
Empty is a better fasting tracker. It's an app that focuses on the small details of a simple but meaningful practice.
We’re live on the App Store and Product Hunt today and would love your support. 🧡
Wrapping my head around the fact that there’s a goat farmer in Khazakhstan who nails all of the
@hubermanlab
protocols 10/10 and doesn’t even know what the HPA axis is
Both of these are (very well-designed) social apps which rely on hard walls and access to contacts in their onboarding to amplify k-factor.
... why has their reception been so different?
Since my DMs are flooded with people asking for my opinion on the new Vercel website:
It's clear to me that this team wants to be in the running for "siiiickest website" along w Linear, Diagram, & co. and for that reason I expected a few more microinteractions/scroll animations…
I am stoked to begin sharing Steddy's new direction today.
For starters: line chart out → momentum graph in.
Momentum will have both a value and direction - to capture the difference between being in your running groove vs your lifting groove.
More soon :)
Been wanting to fit the Numbies keyboard into the Steddy UI for a long time now.
Still needs some more refinement but feels great to see how it might work.
Instead of my last tab I would love to come back to this delightful onboarding shader every time I quit and reopen Arc Search. It just feels magical. This might not be for everyone but perhaps a “fresh start” toggle in settings?

I've been working with
@Neesh774
on this for almost a month now and think we may have just dropped a top 10 fun landing page (respectfully). Here are some of the details and why we decided it was worth putting the extra effort into them (1/5):
Been so focused on Steddy recently that I forgot how perfect Numbies is for recording EMOM workouts (every minute on the minute).
Beautiful thing is I was only motivated to start this workout late last night to maintain my Steddy streak.
…they must be combined eventually.
I hear this so often and yet I see none of it… not even prototypes.
Would love to see someone drop a 20 second clip showing a “new paradigm” that isn’t made up of text & voice inputs, buttons, etc.
We're opening up 30 TestFlight spots today for

🥳 ... and while we're at it we might as well start bragging about the absolutely scrumptious app icons

drew for us. I still can't believe these are only half of them.
Acute Calc by
@aheze0
is a push towards better utility apps and I am all here for it. 👏 Andrew continues to put tons of effort into the smallest details so that you can save some $ and ditch the TI-84:
Steddy - the modern exercise planner - is available for all to try on TestFlight.
It’s not the ultimate fitness app (yet 😉) but we think it does a few things well.
Huge thanks to

@christophpader

@mrousavy
for bringing this to life:
Steddy has its issues but one thing I will never get bored of is seeing all my exercise aggregated into one score. In 10 seconds I can see my fitness...
- Get wrecked by the holidays
- Bounce back briefly for NY
- Get wrecked by winter
- Bounce back with spring weather
✨🌙 Ramadan Mode is finally live! 🙏✨
This was our most popular feature request by far (sorry we're a few days late 😅). Starting today, you can turn on Ramadan Mode in Empty to align your fasting schedule to the sunrise and sunset.
Ramadan Mubarak to all who are fasting…
I tried to kill my own startup this weekend.
After ~20 hours building SteddyGPT I’m confident that a chatbot is not enough. Information is great, but tailored interfaces are essential to get users to act on that information.

This thread is a long overdue shoutout to
@h_annahlee
for the incredible work she did on the 18 Empty icons and a bit about how we leveraged these assets in every way we possibly could…
Eid Mubarak to those celebrating today! 🌙
It was so cool to get requests for an automated Ramadan mode in
@emptyfasting
and watch
@rarfell
implement it so quickly via API.
I should have designed some special views in the app to commemorate this day, but oh well... next year!
