Why settle for apps when you can get apps AND satire?

Hopefully we get competition in this space and standardization so it's less like the App Store and more like the World Wide Web

OpenAI just dropped the Apps SDK, built on MCP. This is the future of how users will interact with your apps.

You won’t need to build a chatbot anymore.
OpenAI is the chatbot.
You just expose your tools through MCP.

Exciting progress toward Jarvis! youtu.be/9e581mYtrrs

In a couple hours (6pm Mountain) I'll be singing with 350+ other performers from 39 different nations in front of 21,000 people. We'll be wearing flag pins.

See if you can find yours on the singers!

I saw the email. The team will make it right. They'll probably just refund and he can buy a new license to Epic React instead.
