You think your product's features should be front-and-center, but maybe something else should be featured.

It might be better that your buyer be featured, instead.

What Your Product Features
Say you enter a crowded product space. All the existing products, they all have the features that buyers expect.And say this type of product is meant to be bought by a manager, and used by a team.

Gmail's filters have been broken for years.

So I built filterhawk.com — Plug it into Gmail and take back control of your inbox with better, intuitive filters that work the way you'd expect.

Here's how it fixes Gmail's (broken) filters: 👇

It was not mobile-responsive.
It was not accessible to screen readers.
It was never published live.

But!

It had a table-based layout (that car was spliced to work).
It had spacer gifs.
It has transparent gifs.
It used Verdana.
It was a lot of fun to design in Photoshop 6.0.
Just dug up an old design for a site a buddy of mine and I were working on in 2001

A great product does two things well. It helps with the main thing it's supposed to do for the buyer, and it does a second job too.

That second job is "help me be seen by my crowd". Help me have status. "If I tell others, it'll help me be seen."

On Tesla working on bringing CarPlay support:

Friend of mine who owns a Tesla came into my car: "Oh you have CarPlay" he exclaims with a tinge of envy.

My car has a small CarPlay screen though comparatively. But even then, CarPlay is nice.

Plot twist, this was not their final episode of The Panel.
Decided to YOLO and let anyone join us on our @thepanel.bsky.social livestream, and the founder of @riversidefm.bsky.social (Nadav Keyson) joined @briancasel.com and I. ;)

In the AI revolution, incumbents are embracing new tech instantly, spending big and innovating.

Unlike previous tech revolutions.

Startups don’t get a multi-year head start.

So, you have to follow a different playbook.
AI startups require new strategies: This time it’s actually different
The typical dynamics between startups and incumbents do not apply in AI as they did in previous technology revolutions like mobile and the Internet. Ignore this at your peril.

Posting loudly, or frequently? When your posts don't get reach, consider simply contributing of what matches your values, of what you'd like to see.

To the noise, you'll add a signal.

Coming up next week.

For managers, I was told this offering is a no-brainer. Want to send a few folks from your team?

Good value to:
- get unstuck on a structural turbo-frame/stream decision
- tackle a complex UI component
- level-up everyone's Hotwire skills
- spar on upcoming feature strategies

Cursor—a tool company—getting into the model game is super interesting.

Purpose-built LLMs that are far superior at the job-to-be-done of the tool is a trend I'm sure we haven't seen the last of—especially from makers of tools for builders/creators.

AI is an offshoring event. Jobs that come back, as with the previous offshoring events, will be because culture gave the job an edge.

Avoid offshoring skills which give you a culture edge.

[Video of an outdoor survivalist ruining his only knife by cutting through a tin can he probably didn’t bring to turn it into a makeshift camp stove.]

I click and watch this stuff every time.

And every time I wish he wouldn’t ruin his knife’s edge.

I'm being told I'm running a "very old version of Cursor".

I don't want to update Cursor now, that message is so adorable.

For Rails Hotwire apps, I don’t believe I’ve seen a better more long-lasting option for front-end components.

You can pick only the components you want. And they’ll be around a while.
Congrats to @webawesome.com for their 3.0.0 release!

I'm a believer in using these web components when your design system crosses that threshold of needing one, two, or ten nicely-styled components.
